This Smartphone Is Making Privacy A Priority
Lily Hay Newman on a new innovation: Blackphone. The national conversation about privacy is in high gear, and services
for things like secure messaging have been popping up everywhere to try
to meet demand. But most consumers aren't really in a position to
evaluate whether these services can actually deliver on their ... MOREDetroit Police Chief: Legal Gun Owners Can Deter Crime
by George Hunter. If more citizens were armed, criminals would think twice about attacking them, Detroit Police Chief James Craig said Thursday. Urban police chiefs are typically in favor of gun control or reluctant to discuss the issue, but Craig on Thursday was candid about how he’s changed his mind. “When we look at the good .... MORE
Sheriffs Refuse to Enforce Laws on Gun Control
by Erica Goode. When Sheriff John Cooke of Weld County explains in speeches why he is not enforcing the state’s new gun laws, he holds up two 30-round magazines. One, he says, he had before July 1, when the law banning the possession, sale or transfer of the large-capacity magazines went into effect. The other, he “maybe” obtained afterward. ... MOREThe Three Most Important Ongoing 2nd Amendment Cases
by Brian Doherty. Since the 2010 Supreme Court case McDonald
v. Chicago, which applied the ruling
in the
2008 Heller case (which said the Second Amendment
guarantees an individual right to bear arms) to states and
localities, the
Court has so far evaded any new case about the limits and
meaning of the Second Amendment. Those two cases, ... MOREMurder Rate Nearly Cut In Half As Gun Ownership Soared
by Awr Hawkins. A Congressional Research Service (CRS) report shows that while gun ownership climbed from 192 million firearms in 1994 to 310 million firearms in 2009, crime fell—and fell sharply. According to the report,
the "firearm-related murder and non-negligent homicide" rate was 6.6
per 100,000 Americans in 1993. Following the ... MORE
Steve Chapman: Nullification Makes A Comeback
The 21st century is the golden age of gun rights. All 50 states allow the carrying of concealed weapons. The once-toothless Second Amendment finally has real potency. Even after the Newtown massacre, Congress rejected new restrictions on firearms. Monday's Washington Navy Yard shooting is not likely to change that. ... MORE
Michelle Malkin: Government Is A Threat To Public Safety
Forget gun control. America needs government control. Have you noticed the common thread among several mass killings and homeland security incidents lately? Time and again, it's the control freaks in Washington who have fallen down on their jobs, allowing crazies, creeps and criminals to roam free and wreak havoc while ignoring ... MORESteven Greenhut: California's Slippery Gun-Control Slide
Gun-control push more than closing "loopholes." Supporters of the latest spate of gun-control bills that will soon make their way to the governor’s desk insist they only are trying to close “loopholes” and that they won’t deprive Californians of their right to bear arms. But to peer at the future of
gun ownership in California, one might look ... MORE
Harvard Study Reveal Gun Control Counterproductive
The counterintuitive truth: more guns means less murder. Once again, a study from an organization that you would never accuse of being “gun-loving” or “right-wing” seems to disprove the myth that the availability of handguns increases murder rates. In fact, it doesn’t. The Harvard study attempts to answer the question of whether or ... MOREDems Seek Huge Taxes On Citizens' Right To Self-Defense
Virginia Gun Crime Drops As State's Firearms Sales Soar
from Fox News. Amid calls nationwide for stricter gun control laws, Virginia is experiencing a unique trend: the state's gun-related crime is declining but firearms sales are increasing. Firearms sales rose 16 percent to a record 490,119 guns purchased from licensed gun dealers in 2012, according to sales estimates obtained by the Richmond ... MOREMost Americans Favor 'Stand Your Ground' Laws
Quinnipiac University poll reveals inconvenient truth. Most U.S. voters support the "Stand Your Ground" laws, although the question of whether to retreat or use deadly force in self defense divides Americans along gender, racial and political lines, a national poll found on Friday. The February 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin, ... MOREIf A Person Cannot Stand His Ground, What Can He Do?
Get beat up would be one choice. If you have no opportunity to retreat, you can stand your ground. If that is "bad law," please provide, Mr. Holder, the "good law." Are we to pull out a rule book if we are pinned to the ground, or may we defend ourselves against someone who is in the process of rearranging your brain cells against the ... MOREJonathon Moseley: Right Of Self-Defense 1, Obama 0
Creepy crackers are not the problem. Destroying the Second Amendment and the people's right of self-defense was the real goal of the George Zimmerman prosecution. Liberals hoped to scare gun owners, regardless of the eventual verdict. Traumatizing and intimidating people from using a firearm to defend themselves were what this case ... MORERoger L. Simon: Obama Big Loser In Zimmerman Trial
No accident race relations are going backwards. Forget the over-zealous prosecutors and the repellent state attorney Angela Corey (who should be immediately disbarred or, my wife said sarcastically, elevated to director of Homeland Security) and even the unfortunate Trayvon Martin family (although it is certainly hard to forget ... MOREJacob Sullum: Why Zimmerman Should Be Acquitted
Emotion should not obscure the evidence. On a rainy night in February 2012 at a gated townhouse complex
in Sanford, Florida, George Zimmerman and Trayvon Martin stared at
each other, and both perceived a threat. What followed is the focus
of a
murder trial that hinges on specific facts rather than the
overarching, frequently ... MOREVIDEO: How To Build Your Own AK-47
Reporter Bryan Schatz went inside a "build party" where anyone can make a rifle that no cop will ever know about. Read the full story here.
Katie Kieffer: Get The Facts And Save Lives With Guns
Educate instead of indoctrinate. Teach gun safety in classrooms and leave sex education to parents. Plan B won’t save young people from incurable STDs, but guns will protect women and children from being raped or murdered. The more young people know about guns, the safer our society will be. Rush Limbaugh said on his talk radio ... MORE
