Background Check Bill Provision Would Pair AG With Gun Control Group :: 03/11/2021
Right now, there’s a lot of gun control bills flying around. So many, in fact, that is not difficult to miss something in all the comings and goings. Plus, frankly, legislation is written in language that makes most people’s eyes glaze over. It’s not exactly entertainment, even for people who like to read and like politics.
House Passes Pair Of Biden-Approved Gun Control Bills :: 03/11/2021
There wasn’t much suspense in the House chamber today as Democrats advanced the first two pieces of Joe Biden’s anti-gun agenda along a mostly party-line vote, but the prospects of passage in the U.S. Senate will likely provide much more drama in the days and weeks ahead.
Guns are Not a Disease :: 03/10/2021
Politicians who don’t believe you should have Second Amendment rights have often tried to hide their gun-control laws in arguments for “public health.” The idea is to turn a matter of elementary liberty into a crisis that mandates instant action. Joe Biden has been loudly signaling that he plans to do this about guns, and the mainstream media is already obediently playing along.
How Gun Control Moves Women's Rights Backwards :: 03/10/2021

Massachusetts Gun Law Fail Shows Folly Of Universal Background Checks :: 03/10/2021
Massachusetts has some of the strictest gun laws in the Union. With provisions in their law like requiring a Firearms Identification card or License to Carry in order to purchase and possess a gun, it’s baffling how there are any illegal firearms at all. Massachusetts also has restrictions on so called “assault rifles” and “high capacity magazines”.
The Moronic Myths Of Microstamping :: 03/10/2021
Microstamping has reared up as gun control schemers elevate it as a sophisticated means of “gun safety,” a sly euphemism for gun control. Proponents of the unworkable, unreliable and ineffective concept keep their heads in the sand regarding the feasibility of microstamping mandates because they can’t face the truth. It doesn’t work.
Biased Press Echoes Political Spin and Ignores Results of Gun Control :: 03/09/2021
U.S.A.– -(AmmoLand.com)- Politicians say one thing and do another. They give us their best smile as they claim that up is down. A skeptical press is supposed to ask tough questions and see through the politician’s spin. Reporters are supposed to get at the truth even if it is uncomfortable. I suspect it is easier to make a politician uncomfortable than for reporters to question their own beliefs. Gun control legislation is a sad example where both the politicians and the media are spinning the truth. Unfortunately, we see that happen from coast to coast and in-between. Since the mainstream press won’t do it, it is up to us to separate the grain of truth from the flood of political spin. Here are a few examples of the work the news media failed to do.
Democrats' Approach To Crime At Odds With Gun Control Push :: 03/09/2021
Democrats in the U.S. House are expected to advance two gun control measures on Wednesday, both of which are aimed at legal gun owners and gun sellers and impose criminal sanctions for gun transfers that take place without the express permission of the federal government.

At that time, no permits were required to carry weapons, openly or concealed.
Columnist Misses The Point About Guns In Churches :: 03/08/2021
Do you ever run across a column that’s so completely oblivious to the obvious that you can’t help but think that the author is engaging in a bit of intentional ignorance to try to make a point? My most recent experience with an eye-rolling editorial comes from Louisiana, where lawmakers are currently debating a bill that would require churches, synagogues, mosques, and other houses of worship to opt-out of allowing the lawful carrying of firearms inside, rather than opt-in, as is the case right now.

Why Are Lifetime Gun Bans Being Imposed on Tax Cheats? :: 03/06/2021
That the punishment should fit the crime is a widely held axiom. If you lie on a tax return, you might expect to face certain consequences, such as fines and the repayment of back taxes, probably with interest, and perhaps even home confinement, or (in the extreme case) prison time. But you would not expect a lifetime restriction on your fundamental rights — such as the freedom to speak, to own property, or to enjoy your privacy. These punishments would be arbitrary and unjust given the nature of the crime.
5 Reasons Why Democrats' Extremist Gun Control Will Always Fail :: 03/05/2021
U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- With the launch of their frontal assault on firearms rights via H.R. 8 and H.R. 127, Capitol Hill Democrats have made it clear they are not interested in facts or the “common sense” their gun control campaign perennially claims to represent, and instead provided all the justification necessary for a hard-hitting pro-rights ad campaign by a grassroots gun rights organization now heading into its second week.
