There are 800 bases in foreign countries. With the U.S. military having withdrawn many of its forces from Iraq and Afghanistan, most Americans would be forgiven for being unaware that hundreds of U.S. bases and hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops still encircle the globe. Although few know it, the United States garrisons the planet ... MORE

America Has Way Too Many Overseas Military Bases
There are 800 bases in foreign countries. With the U.S. military having withdrawn many of its forces from Iraq and Afghanistan, most Americans would be forgiven for being unaware that hundreds of U.S. bases and hundreds of thousands of U.S. troops still encircle the globe. Although few know it, the United States garrisons the planet ... MOREAn 11-Year-Old Demonstrates Good Judgment And Good Marksmanship, Striking Down Home Invader With One Shot

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
Donna 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 ... MOREJohn 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 ... MOREDavvid 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 ... MORECharles 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 ... MOREWalter 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 ... MOREThomas 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. Media discussions of gun control are dominated by two factors: the National Rifle Association and the Second Amendment. But the over-riding ... MOREPoll: Americans Prefer Neighborhoods That Allow Guns
by Joe Perticone. Americans know what they want — Americans want guns. That’s right. According to the latest poll by Rasmussen Reports, American voters “overwhelmingly” prefer to live in neighborhoods with high gun ownership, as opposed to areas that don’t allow firearms. The polling shows 68 percent of Americans “would feel safer” ... MOREUK 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- ... MOREHow 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. ... MOREIn The Public Service: Cops Break Into Home And Kill 74-Year-Old Man After Relative Requests Well-Visit Check

Police were called to the home of James Howard Allen about 10 p.m. Saturday because a relative of Allen’s in Anson County was worried about his condition, Gastonia ... MOREFederal Bill Would Make Americans More Defenseless
by Dan Cannon. Making self protection a felony. Democratic members of Congress apparently aren’t going to be
satisfied until American citizens are completely and utterly
defenseless. Representative Mike Honda (D-CA) has introduced a bill for
consideration of the new Congress which would prohibit the ownership of
certain types of body armor for ... MOREVIDEO: More Guns, Less Murders
The USA has, by far, the highest per capita gun ownership in the world.
"Hands Up Don’t Shoot" Activist Shoots Unarmed Man
Discovers police shootings are not so cut and dry. An outspoken “Hands up don’t shoot” activist in Arizona recently went through multiple police training scenarios, including one, where he shot at an unarmed man. Reverend Jarrett Maupin is a self described progressive baptist preacher and a radical political activist, ... MOREArmed Intruders Fail To Heed Warning From Homeowner With Gun To Not Take Another Step, Then Pay The Price
by Dave Urbanski. In the space of five days the city of Memphis, Tennessee, has seen its
second fatal shooting by a homeowner against reported armed home
intruders. TheBlaze reported the

front door. When two men reportedly forced their way in — one of them ... MORE
