Howard Stern talks National carry license reciprocity, carry rights :: 11/28/2016

This may be a willingness to compromise on Stern’s part, since he has a history of libertarian views, and accepting a requirement of a license to carry legally sounds like a big step toward the middle for someone who ran for the governorship of New York on the promise to resign after he reinstated the death penalty and opened up roadways by removing highway tolls and allowing construction only late at night.

British magazine, The Economist, wonders: Why Americans love guns? :: 11/23/2016
People from other countries have a fascination with America’s gun culture. It would be interesting to quantify this, but in my own experience and the experiences of other supporters of gun rights, I’ve found that many who are active in social media and spend time mocking the idea of owning guns and using them, especially in self-defense, are not people who live here.
