Rural New York Paper Points Out Issues With State's Red Flag Law :: 02/04/2019
Wyoming County doesn’t have a lot of fans of New York state’s new gun laws. The county made that clear, and I applaud them for it. I hope it does more, such as what some counties in Washington state are doing. Maybe it will in time. Who knows.
Civil Disobedience Against Gun Control :: 02/02/2019
The word “Resist” seems to have become a liberal battle cry these days. But what most people don’t realize, and what the mainstream media avoids telling the public is that “Resist” is exactly what firearms owners have been doing for literally decades in the face of unconstitutional gun laws. The level of civil disobedience to arbitrary firearms regulation has been truly staggering – and not just in the United States.
Media Bias: The Rookie pushes gun buybacks, registration of guns, and shows an accidental gunshot killing a woman-CPRC :: 02/02/2019
In a series of scenes that could have been written by Michael Bloomberg, The Rookie tries making the case for gun buybacks and gun registration (S1, E11). The officers in this scene tell people that turning in their guns to police during the buyback will make the city safer. A woman is shown bringing in her father’s weapons, one of which is a Claymore mine. Other mines that were in the woman’s car explode while she is in the police station.
Trump Administration Eases Gun Export Regs, Outrage Ensues :: 02/02/2019
There are strict laws on firearm exports, and that makes sense. After all, we don’t want people selling guns to folks who turn out to be members of ISIS, for example. While I’m sure no American gun company would do so willingly, it’s hard to do due diligence half a world away, even in this highly connected day and age.
A Month of Crime News Provides Evidence in Favor of Armed Civilians :: 02/01/2019
As lawmakers around the country moved to impose restrictions on the ability of law-abiding Americans to keep and bear arms, some of those same citizens spent the first month of 2019 proving that armed civilians play an important role in defending the inalienable rights to life, liberty, and property.

Common Semiautomatic Weapons Under Fire, from Democrat Congress :: 02/01/2019
New York – -(AmmoLand.com)-“It’s like déjà vu all over again.” ~ Yogi Berra If you asked your fellow Americans to point to one defining moment in our Nation’s recent history, many would likely mention the attack on our soil in 2001, for obvious reason. Some Americans might point to Barack Obama as U.S. President, but not for anything he carried out—if he carried out anything of benefit to this Nation and its people—but because he served as the Nation’s first African-American President. Some people might mention the recession of 2008, and the bailout of major banks. Still, others might point to the result of the general U.S. Presidential election in 2016. Depending on one’s political bent, that result is shocking and dreadful, or surprising and hopeful.
House To Hold Hearings On Gun Violence :: 02/01/2019
With Democrats now firmly in control of the House of Representatives, it’s time for them to do what politicians with only one chamber of Congress and no control over the White House do. That’s a whole lot of nothing but masquerading.

Have Gun, Can't Travel :: 01/31/2019
New York City’s arbitrary restrictions on transporting firearms give SCOTUS a chance to curtail rampant disrespect for the Second Amendment.
Kamala Harris Wants To Use Extreme Measures To Force Gun Control :: 01/31/2019
Senator Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) isn’t someone any of us will mistake for as a gun rights proponent. The extremely progressive California politician has made her liberal bona fides apparent for anyone who cares to look. More than that, now that Sen. Harris has announced her intention to run for president, she’s going to make them even more apparent.
Pennsylvania Governor Calls For Tougher Gun Laws :: 01/31/2019
When Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto announced his intention to ignore state law, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf was right there beside him. Calling Gov. Wolf an enabler wouldn’t exactly be out of line. If Peduto lands in jail over this–which needs to happen–Wolf probably needs to be right there with him. After all, he’s clearly part of Peduto’s thinking on this.
Pittsburgh Officials Claim Gun Control Proposal Prompted Death Threats :: 01/31/2019

Science, Fantasy, and Superstition - Gun-Control Fails the Evidence Test :: 01/30/2019
I’ve watched gun-control advocates slide down the slippery slope. At first, their spokesmen said gun-control was simply common sense. Fortunately for us, each gun-control law is a claim that can be tested. Instead of changing their beliefs as we learned more, gun-control advocates simply chanted their old arguments louder. They claimed that gun-control must have saved one life somewhere. Eventually, the gun control-talking-heads had to turn their eyes away from the facts and ignore the damage they caused. For our part, we passed gun control laws because they felt good rather than did good. Like many public policy issues, we think we’re talking about evidence when we’re really discussing how we feel.
