New Zealand Encounters Problems Enforcing Gun Ban without Registration :: 07/17/2019
New Zealand -(Ammoland.com)- New Zealand attempted controls on firearms ownership from 1845 to 1885. It was not very effective. From 1885 to 1912, the arms control law was generally a dead letter. From 1912 to 1945 arms control was again attempted, primarily as a means of preventing revolution. From 1945 to 1965, there was again a peaceful enjoyment of firearms with few controls in New Zealand. There were registration controls on the books, but they proved ineffective. Because of increasing crime rates, from the middle 1960's to 1983, the New Zealand police struggled with the ineffective registration system. The information was obtained from the 1997 study of its gun control history.
Shocker: Anti-Gun Senator Is Writing Anti-Gun Book :: 07/17/2019
Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy has long been a fan of more gun control laws, and a longtime opponent of a robust right to keep and bear arms. In Senator Murphy’s world, you can ban the most commonly sold rifle in the U.S. without infringing on anyone’s 2nd Amendment rights. You can require Americans to get a permission slip from the government before owning a firearm and not step on the right to own a firearm. In fact, I’ve yet to see a gun control proposal introduced that Senator Murphy’s actually found objectionable.

Heller (2008), and a massive public relations and lobbying campaign by the National Rifle Association, support for the Second Amendment right of Americans to bear arms has grown.

Red Flag laws and their awful consequences :: 07/14/2019
Since the horrific murders in Parkland, just minutes from my hometown in South Florida, our country has seen a renewed push for more restrictive gun laws. Assault weapon bans, restrictions on the storage of firearms, and pushes for every type of gun law appear at both the federal and state level.

U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Politicians said that gun-control would make us safer. That sounds good, but it isn’t what we see. One reasons is gun-control disarms innocent women.

Why did the politicians and the news media ignore these issues while they were shouting for more gun-control?
