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

John Stossel: Gun Lies
Guns are dangerous. So are lies. My town, New York City, enforces rigid gun laws. Police refused to assign me a gun permit. The law doesn't even let me hold a fake gun on TV to demonstrate something. But New York politicians are so eager to vilify gun ownership that they granted an exception to the anti-gun group States United to Prevent Gun ... MORE

Davvid Harsanyi: Gun Control - The Killer’s Best Friend
They seem to prefer unarmed victims. Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez is suspected of murdering four unarmed Marines in Chattanooga and wounding others. As I write this, we still don’t know how Abdulazeez obtained his gun or what his motivations were—though, we can take an educated guess on the latter. What we do know is that ... MORE
Charles Riggs: Parable Of The Sheep
When dealing with wolves. Not so long ago and in a pasture too uncomfortably close to here, a flock of sheep lived and grazed. They were protected by a dog, who answered to the master, but despite his best efforts from time to time a nearby pack of wolves would prey upon the flock. One day a group of sheep, more bold than the rest, met to ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Constitutional Ignorance And Dereliction
It's about preserving liberty. The nation's demagogues and constitutionally ignorant are using the
Charleston, South Carolina, AME church shooting to attack the Second
Amendment's "right of the people to keep and bear Arms." A couple of
years ago, President Barack Obama said, "I have a profound respect for
the traditions of hunting that ... MORE
Thomas Sowell: Gun Control Laws Protect Criminals
Criminals like their victims disarmed. The gun control controversy is only the latest of many issues to be debated almost solely in terms of fixed preconceptions, with little or no examination of hard facts.

UK Police Tell Subjects Not to Harm Their Attackers; Rape Alarm Is The Only Fully Legal Defense System Allowed
What happens there's no 2nd Amendment. The latest dispatch from the United Kingdom’s ongoing campaign to
eliminate all forms of armed self-defense seems too incredible to be
true. Unfortunately, after tracking down the origin of a publicly distributed statement
regarding self-defense products on the country’s “Ask the Police”
website, ... MORE

Hillary: Resistance To Gun Control 'Terrorizes' The Nation
Not a fan of gun rights. If Hillary Clinton ever gets around
to telling voters her positions on controversial issues, it is not
clear what she will say about gun control. Over the years, her stance
has ranged from support for gun licensing and registration to an
NRA-esque desire
to "enforce the laws that we have on the books." Still, her disregard
for armed self- ... MORE
How Gun Control Is Causing Another European Holocaust
by Pedro Gonzales. When Adolph Hitler got into power, he confiscated all the guns owned by Jewish people. Then, once they were defenseless, he sent them all to concentration camps. Now, in 2015, Jews are being slaughtered again because of their religion. And because of strict gun control laws in Europe, they are once again defenseless. ... MORE

defenseless. Representative Mike Honda (D-CA) has introduced a bill for
consideration of the new Congress which would prohibit the ownership of

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. We first encountered the doctors at public forums, which were ... MORE
