Poll Shows NRA Is 50% More Popular Than Hillary Clinton
Maybe the people are not-so dumb. We’ve been hearing a lot about this subject in the last few weeks. Among the list of the “enemies”
that Hillary Clinton is most proud of having made, the National Rifle
Association is right near the top of the list. This led one of her
prominent supporters to declare that the demise of the organization was ... MOREThomas Sowell: The 'Gun Control' Farce
Another crack down on law-abiding citizens. President Obama's intrusion into the mourning community of Roseburg, Oregon, in order to promote his political crusade for stronger gun control laws, is part of a pattern of his using various other sites of shooting rampages in the past to promote this long-standing ...

Poll: Gun Control Far Scarier Than ‘Mass Shootings’
by Awr Hawkins. On October 13, Chapman University released its Survey of American Fears and revealed that more than twice as many Americans fear gun control than fear “mass shootings.” While those on the left may scratch their heads to wonder how this could be, the facts are that gun control leads to gun-free zones, which, in turn, appear ...

Why 'Universal Background Checks' Are A Bad Idea
by Jacob Sullum. Ineffective, unjust, and unenforceable. Senate Democrats plan
to ingratiate themselves with voters by introducing a new package of
gun controls. In a letter to fellow Democrats, Sens. Chuck Schumer
(D-N.Y.) and Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) said they hope gun control
advocacy "will be a rallying point for a public that is ... MOREJohn Lott: Would-Be Killers Target Gun-Free Zones
Enough with the 'defenseless victim zones.' There has been another horrible crime committed and once again it is followed by calls for so-called universal background checks on private transfers of guns. Hillary Clinton vows, if she becomes president, to use executive action to enact such rules. She is angry that Republicans “refuse to do anything” ... MOREAndrew Napolitano: The Natural Right To Self-Defense
A confirmed liar's assault on the Constitution. While the FBI continued to analyze the emails Hillary Clinton thought she deleted and her advisers pressed her to hire a Republican criminal defense attorney in Washington, a madman used a lawfully purchased handgun to kill a professor and eight students at a community college in Roseburg, ... MOREYes, The Second Amendment Protects Individual Rights
by Damon Root. What the New Yorker gets wrong about guns and the Constitution. In 2008 the U.S. Supreme Court recognized
what numerous historians and legal scholars have been saying for many
decades: Namely, that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
secures an individual right—not a collective one—to keep and bear arms.
Yet despite ... MOREEnding Gun Violence: Common Sense Versus Magic
by Sheldon Richman. Only you are guaranteed to be present at an attack against you. What passes for thinking about the prevention of gun violence is not thinking at all. Thinking (as problem-solving) is a search for means that can be reasonably expected to achieve a given end. By reasonably I mean that supporting arguments can be provided to ... MOREJacob Sullum: Obama's Empty Gun Control Promise
A plea to sacrifice freedom for the empty promise of safety. President Obama is tired of calling for more gun control after every mass shooting, and I am tired of explaining
why that knee-jerk reaction is illogical. But he feels duty-bound to
continue ("each time this happens, I'm going to bring this up," he
says), and I guess I do too. Last night ... MORESF’s LAST GUN SHOP To Close Over City’s New Regs
by Jessica Chasmar. San Francisco’s
last gun shop has been a defiant fixture against the liberal city’s
suffocating arms policies for more than 60 years, but a new set of
regulations is forcing the owners to finally throw in the towel. The proposed new regulations would require High Bridge Arms in San Francisco’s Mission District to videotape all transactions ... MOREKatie Zezima: Donald Trump's Plan Calls For Nationwide Concealed Carry And An End To Government Gun Bans
Gun control "a total failure." Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump -- who said he has a concealed carry permit -- called for the expansion of gun rights Friday, including making those permits applicable nationwide. In a position paper published on his website Friday afternoon, Trump called for the elimination of gun and magazine bans, ... MOREAn 11-Year-Old Demonstrates Good Judgment And Good Marksmanship, Striking Down Home Invader With One Shot
Gun control means using both hands. An 11-year-old Missouri boy shot and killed a 16-year-old boy during an attempted home invasion Thursday afternoon, St. Louis County police said. Police said two suspects tried to break into the home north of downtown St. Louis twice before the shooting on Thursday. On the third try, authorities said the ... MORE
Death By Goverment In The Name Of Safety - NYPD Kills Innocent Man In Effort To Protect New Yorkers From Guns
by William Lawler. 61 year old Felix Kumi, a school bus driver, was walking to an auto repair shop in his neighborhood to pick up his vehicle when he was gunned down by a New York City Police Department (NYPD) Officer. On the afternoon of Friday, August 29, 2015, New York City Police set up an illegal gun sale in an effort to stem illegal gun sales. ... MORERenewed Calls For Gun Control Laws Spur Sales
by Kevin Johnson. Renewed calls for more restrictive gun laws, following a succession of fatal shootings in the United States, immediately appear to be generating a boost for the gun industry. Newly released August records show that the FBI posted 1.7 million background checks required of gun purchasers at federally licensed dealers, the ... MOREEurope's Gun Laws Disarm Victims, Not Terrorists
by J. D. Tucille. When wannabe-terrorist Ayoub El Khazzani was wrestled to the floor of a
train in France and given a righteous stomping by pissed off and
proactive passengers, they relieved him of a small armory. He had been
planning to inflict murder and mayhem with an AKM assault rifle, a
semiautomatic pistol, a box cutter, and a container of ... MOREBoston Gun Buyback Program Nets One Firearm This Year
by Matt Vespa. According to the Associated Press, over 400 firearms were turned over during Boston's Your Piece for Peace gun buyback program last year. Recipients received a $200 Visa gift card for their participation. Boston Police say this initiative never ended, but the number of guns turned in has dropped due to lack of publicity. As non- ... MOREDonna Carol Voss: Gun Control Drives Me Crazy
Murderers and weapons will always exist. Gun control drives me crazy. I’m willing to consider any logical
argument, but gun control is so untethered from reality that it makes me
hyperventilate just thinking about it. It is reality that people are killed by guns every day. The reporter and photograhper who were gunned down
on live TV are only ... MORE
