House Dems Prepare For Votes On Sweeping Gun And Magazine Ban :: 08/17/2019
House Democrats are planning on passing several more gun control bills in the coming weeks, beginning with an early return to Washington D.C. by the House Judiciary Committee in order to hear (and almost certainly approve) three separate gun control bills and plans for a separate vote on a fourth bill later in September.
I'm A Professor, And I Carry A Gun On Campus. Here's Why :: 08/17/2019
I am an ethics professor, and I carry a concealed handgun in the classroom. In the event of a mass shooting, I am the first line of defense between my students and an attacker. I refuse to let myself and my students be victims.
In the wake of more mass shootings, it's time to end gun free zones on campus :: 08/17/2019
It’s time to revisit the campus carry debate. Tragic mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, have once again ignited an intense public debate over how to prevent further acts of senseless violence.
Philly Mayor Peddles False Narrative for Gun Control After a Man with a Long Criminal History Shoots Six Police Officers :: 08/17/2019
All eyes were on North Philadelphia last night after a gunman fired on police serving a narcotics warrant. At around 4:30 p.m., the suspect barricaded himself in a North Philadelphia home and began a standoff that would last for almost eight hours. During the ordeal, six officers were shot and two were trapped inside the house. Thankfully, the injuries to the police officers were not life-threatening and the two officers trapped inside were evacuated by a SWAT team several hours before the suspect, Maurice Hill, surrendered.
Red Flag Gun Laws- the obvious problems politicians want to ignore :: 08/17/2019
Politicians told us to put up plastic signs that said “no guns allowed”. The results were horrible. Instead of making us safer as they promised, these “gun-free” zones left crowds of unarmed people at the mercy of mass murderers. Gun-control politicians aren’t criticized when their policies fail. Rather than fix their mistakes, they invent a new gun-control law. Criminals don’t follow gun laws, so these new laws are no more effective than the last ones. We’re rightfully disturbed when innocent people are slaughtered. Rather than fix their mistakes, Democrat politicians offered up human sacrifices so we’ll feel safer.
The Hill gets criticized for poorly-worded headline on semi-automatic firearms :: 08/17/2019
The Hill is famous for its really awful headlines, but this one could take the cake. Do they have any idea what they’ve written when they say Dems want to ban “semi-automatic firearms” and not qualifying it at all as to which semi-automatic firearms they’re referring to?
America Isn't the World Leader in Mass Shootings. France, Finland & Switzerland Are All Worse :: 08/16/2019
In his response to the horrific mass shootings earlier this month in Texas and Ohio, former President Barack Obama used a rather tired leftist talking point regarding the frequency of such tragedies.
How do you propose to end mass shootings then? :: 08/16/2019
I get that question whenever I object to more “gun control” as a response to the latest tragedy. I have long held, and continue to hold, the position that more restrictions on law-abiding gun owners is not the answer to mass murder. It doesn’t work. It just leaves the law abiding helpless in the face of criminal violence.
James Alan Fox: There Is No Evidence of an Epidemic of Mass Shootings :: 08/16/2019

Lindsey Graham Ignores Due Process Realities With Red Flag Laws :: 08/16/2019

In the wake of two mass shootings, overwhelming and bipartisan majorities of voters favor background checks on gun buyers and taking guns from people who are a danger to themselves or others, according to the latest Fox News Poll. Two-thirds also support a ban on “assault weapons,” although that majority is largely driven by Democrats.

Indoctrinating and Radicalizing Mass Murderers :: 08/14/2019
After three decades of researching the pathology of mass shooters, I’m convinced that four primary factors are almost universally associated with these murderers: a sociopathic predisposition; a history of violent media saturation that indoctrinates and desensitizes them; an opening to be self- or group-radicalized within an echo chamber of ideological influencers; and the means and opportunity to commit a mass attack. Most of the political and media focus has, predictably, been on the fourth factor — removing the means and opportunity. But this ignores the urgency and the systemic nature of the first three factors — the cultural factors.
