FBI Finds No Motive For Vegas Shooting :: 01/29/2019
On October 2, 2017, many of us were trying to piece together just what the hell had happened in Las Vegas, Nevada. All we knew was that someone had shot a lot of people at a country music festival.
Firearms Regulation Always Misses the Target :: 01/29/2019
U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- The mass murderer at the Mandalay Bay Casino in Las Vegas used something called a bump stock. In theory, a bump stock allows a gun to fire faster. Some politicians say that is too fast. In fact, the fastest shooter alive today fires a semi-automatic gun so quickly that it rivals some machine guns. Government regulators, and some anti-gun Democrat politicians, then concluded that civilians should be denied the use of all semi-automatic weapons. They claim these guns can shoot like machine guns, at least some of the time. That regulation and laws like it miss the point entirely.
Gun Rights Advocates Move To Impeach Pittsburgh Mayor :: 01/29/2019
Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto has angered gun rights advocates. That’s not that big of a deal, in and of itself. I mean, he’s the mayor of a large urban center. It’s unlikely that he really needs to worry about gun rights activists all that much most of the time.
Op-Ed Claims You Shouldn't Have Handguns. Here's Why It's Wrong :: 01/29/2019
Anti-gun zealots don’t understand math all that well. I say that as someone who freely admits that math is my weak point, but I do understand numbers. I can look at the numbers and compare them to others.
Amendments planned for Pittsburgh proposed gun restrictions :: 01/28/2019
Pittsburgh City Council got a feel this week for what people think about its proposed ban on certain semi-automatic weapons, ammunition and firearms accessories.
Guns and God: Growing number of churches turn to armed volunteers for security :: 01/28/2019
When Chris Crews prepares for church on Sunday mornings, he follows a routine. He rises early. He puts on his church clothes, a button-down shirt paired with blue jeans or khakis. Then, before leaving the house with his wife and two children, he straps a firearm — a 9 mm or a .45 — to his right hip.
Is A 'Gun Rights Resistance' Beginning to Spread? :: 01/28/2019
While tens of thousands of firearms industry professionals including retailers, wholesalers, manufacturers and media are gathered in Las Vegas for the 2019 Shooting, Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show, something subtle is happening out there in the hinterlands.
Polman: Dems Need 'New Massacre' Making Gun Control First-Tier News :: 01/28/2019
The Atlantic’s Dick Polman believes the Democrat Party needs a “new massacre” to make gun control “a first-tier story.”
Red-Flag Gun Laws- Public Safety or Abuse of the Innocent? :: 01/27/2019
They are called Extreme-Risk Protection Orders. Some people call them Red-Flag Gun Confiscation. Whatever you call it, we’re supposed to call the cops and stop a bad man with a gun before he hurts someone. That sounds more like the script from a cop-drama on TV than what happens in real life.
Universal Background Checks Don't Work, so Why Do We Want More of Them? :: 01/27/2019
I’ve made mistakes before and I’ll probably make some again. That is why it’s important to be aware and skeptical as we try new ideas. There is a time for persistence and a time to ask if you’re headed in the right direction. All that came to mind as I read about the US House of Representatives proposing universal background checks for firearms owners. These background checks have failed too many times to try them again.
Are Concealed Carry Licenses (CCL) Constitutional? :: 01/26/2019
Two attorneys in my home state of Illinois were reported, by Personal Defense World, to have challenged the state’s requirement for a CCL (Concealed Carry License) as unconstitutional.
Black and Armed in America :: 01/26/2019
For me, being black and armed in America is intellectually taxing. Add the fact that I am one of the most recognized gun rights advocates in the country, and it can be downright exhausting.
Could Gun Laws Across The Country Start To Look More Like Those In Texas? :: 01/26/2019
Ever since two important cases struck down gun restrictions in Washington, D.C. and Chicago – rulings that essentially protected gun ownership in the home – a question has remained as to whether it's legal to carry guns in public. But now, the Supreme Court is planning to review a case dealing with that very question; it's known by the shorthand "New York State Rifle."
Keep Telling Your Members of Congress to Oppose Universal Background Check Bills :: 01/26/2019
On January 8, two bills were introduced in Congress to impose so-called "universal" background checks. The bills, H.R. 8 and S. 42, are being misleadingly described as simply requiring background checks on all sales of firearms, but this is just a small part of what these overbroad pieces of legislation would do.
Why the Supreme Court will almost surely strike down New York City's gun law :: 01/26/2019
Any attempt to predict the outcome of a Supreme Court case is, at least, a risky business. But I will offer a prediction for the outcome of the case recently accepted for review by the high court, New York State Rifle and Pistol Association vs. City of New York. It will strike the law down, to give gun rights groups a small but meaningful victory they desperately crave.
Disarming the Defenders- Socialist Politicians Sacrifice our Children in Gun-Free Zones :: 01/25/2019
Professor Thomas Sowell said it is dangerous to let people make decisions when they are immune from the consequences. That describes the school board in Baltimore, Maryland as well as other Maryland politicians. Their self-serving political decisions will get out kids hurt and killed. When that happens, these politicians will blame us and demand more political control over our lives. They will probably be re-elected after their policies fail.

House Democrats on Wednesday plan to introduce legislation that would raise the nationwide minimum age to buy assault-style rifles from 18 to 21.
Kopel: Background check bill turns gun loans into felonies, bans handguns for young adults, creates unlimited fees :: 01/25/2019
Earlier this month, U.S. Rep. Mike Thompson (D-Calif.) introduced HR8. According to the title, the bill is “To require a background check for every firearm sale.” The bill does that–and a great deal more.
He Forgot His Oath: Philly FOP Chief Blames Soros-Backed District Attorney for Spike In Crime :: 01/24/2019
Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police President John McNesby ripped the city's district attorney for what he called his "great disdain and dislike for law enforcement," saying it allowed crime to spike in town.
The truth about Parkland :: 01/24/2019
It’s nearly a year since the deadly shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in the town of Parkland in Florida. Many people today immediately associate the Parkland shooting with the March For Our Lives rally and the start of a new gun-control movement, which was fronted by student activists from the school. As a Vox writer recently noted, Parkland ‘may have caused a longer-term shift in America’s gun politics’ towards more controls.
