CPRC - We adjust for population with murder rates. Why not for mass shootings? :: 08/01/2016
Many believe that the United States is unique in terms of mass public shootings. Even after the attacks last November that left 130 dead in Paris, President Obama had the gall to claim, “We are the only advanced country on Earth that sees this kind of mass violence erupt with this kind of frequency.”
For Donald Trump, Victims Lives Matter :: 08/01/2016

Protect our economic and personal freedoms :: 08/01/2016

Socialist Lies Leave Our Children at Risk in School :: 08/01/2016
What does President Obama do? The President’s children are protected by many men with guns. Our First Lady, Michelle Obama, said the same thing at this years national Democrat nominating convention. She said, “Big men with guns take my children to school.” What is good for the Obama family is also good for us and our children. Strangely, some of the speakers at the recent Democrat nominating convention disagreed with our president. Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy said our children should be left unprotected.
So Conservatives, What Have We Learned From This Trump Thing? :: 08/01/2016
The primaries are over and Trump is the nominee, and instead of whining about it like a Millennial faced with having to get a job we need to step back and ask ourselves if we have learned anything from this bizarre turn of events. The GOP – our GOP – has nominated someone who is not a traditional conservative. He’s not even an untraditional conservative. Hell, there’s probably not even a “c” or a “v” in whatever he is. So we can either try to figure out what happened or keep rending our clothes and gnashing our teeth about how our own voter base took one look at us and rejected us like any sober, sighted guy in a bar at 7 p.m. would reject Lena Dunham.

Home defense is one of the most common reasons for buying a gun. Home invasions are rare, but if you do become the victim of one a firearm is a powerful equalizer.

Shots Fired :: 07/31/2016
When the subject is guns, politics trumps history. Pamela Haag calls gun makers “merchants of death." And America's love affair with guns, she says, didn't really start until the late 1800s, when the "merchants of death" convinced Americans that they wanted guns. She describes how gun makers were innovators in advertising, using promotional materials to lure Americans into buying firearms, even deploying skilled marksmen and trick-shot artists to show off the guns.

I always hear gun control proponents ask, “Why won’t the pro-gunners compromise? Why won’t they give into something?” Are you kidding?
