Medical Doctors, Organizing To Restrict Your Freedom

by Mike Sweeney.     Going back over the last two to three years we have often encountered groups of medical doctors who are organizing, crafting a message, and implementing protocols which will enable them to strip a law abiding citizen of their Second Amendment rights.

Andrew Napolitano: Ferguson

Failure in Ferguson is across the board.   The city of Ferguson, Mo., is now burned into our consciousness in a way that few other places are. In my youth, the race riots in Newark, Detroit and Los Angeles marked turning points in my own and in the public's awareness of the problems of a black underclass that perceives itself as being so   ...

by Michael Filozof.     On Dec. 9, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit will hear oral arguments in the case of Nojay v.

Thomas Sowell: Ebola And Obama

The safety of Americans comes in second.    The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is both a danger in itself and a wake-up call for Americans -- about President Obama, about the institutions of this country and, most important, about ourselves.

Steve Chapman: The Courts Advance Concealed Guns

Concealed carry is the overwhelming norm.        Gun-control advocates are learning the downside of getting their way. Recently, a federal judge struck down the District of Columbia's ban on the carrying of concealed handguns. Anti-gun forces have been losing in legislatures for a long time. Now they are finding that even where they win,     ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Western Anti-Semitism

Israel should be supported.     Navi Pillay, U.N. high commissioner for human rights, has accused both Israel and Hamas militants of committing war crimes in the Gaza conflict.

Katie Kieffer: A Bullet A Day Keeps The Doctor Alive

You and I avoid visiting the doctor by eating well.     Doctors like Lee Silverman carry concealed in order to care for us when we do need them.

Katie Kieffer: Let Students Carry On Campus

Why force students into being sitting ducks?     Pepper spray, police and cardboard signs failed to prevent the June 5 Seattle Pacific University shooting. Let’s stop mass violence on college campuses by defending college students’ right to carry firearms on campus. Tragically, this is the third column this year that I must write defending    ... MORE
