Restrictive Gun Control Did Not Hinder Christchurch Massacre :: 03/16/2019
New Zealand requires licensing and in-depth background checks for would-be gun owners, but neither gun control policy prevented Friday’s attacks in Christchurch that killed nearly 50 people.
The CDC's Gun Injury Data Is Becoming Even Less Reliable :: 03/16/2019
Every year, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issues an estimate of the number of people nonfatally injured by guns, but even by the agency’s own standards, its recent numbers may not be trustworthy. This year’s estimate is less reliable than ever.
Civilian with a gun may have cut short attack at Second Christchurch Mosque, only 7 died at that Mosque versus 41 at other one :: 03/15/2019
UPDATE: The original news reports suggested that a Muslim at the Mosque had run home (presumably very nearby) to get his gun to stop the attack. Well, new reports suggest something quite different happened. There are basic inconsistencies between the two reports as the original reports suggest that the Muslim was able to fire the gun at the attacker, but the other articles suggest that he took the gun from the shooter and didn’t know how to fire the gun. Another major difference is that the original reports had the person who stopped the attack said to be “a well known Muslim” and the later reports had him as a “young guy who usually takes care of the mosque.” Here is the latest article from Fox News:
Did Gun Control Groups Buy New Mexican Lawmakers? :: 03/15/2019
Over and over again, we keep hearing how elected officials who received donations from the National Rifle Association were bought and paid for by the group. It’s virtually impossible to find a gun control advocate who doesn’t seem to believe that the NRA isn’t buying politicians. It seems to be a core part of their identity, a core belief necessary for inclusion into the anti-gun club.
Gun Control: Have we learned anything? :: 03/15/2019
It has been roughly one year since the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, one of the deadliest mass shootings in the history of the United States. The atrocity left 14 children and 3 adults dead, and many more injured. At the moment, gun-related crimes that steal the headlines have been quiet, which is a good thing, but have any local, state, or federal legislators had anything to do with that? While I couldn’t find any information about local gun law changes, changes made on the state and federal levels are well-documented. The majority of these changes have worked to restrict gun access for people under the age of 18 and anyone deemed “mentally defective,” both issues related to the school shooter. While I think the intentions of all these new laws are good, I think they ignore a few key facts.
Gun-Control the Courts Ignore :: 03/15/2019
The power to regulate an activity is the power to infringe upon it. The power to tax is the power to destroy that activity. Unfortunately, state and federal judges seldom see an infringement when the government regulates and taxes gun owners.

Did USA Today Admit Gun Control Laws Not Enforced? :: 03/14/2019
When the discussion of gun control comes up, anti-gunners immediately call for new regulations.

So Mass Shootings Are Uniquely American Problem, Huh? :: 03/14/2019

It’s now on you to explain why you have a gun in your house and why it’s on social media…”
Repeal of the 2nd Amendment would not Abolish any Right :: 03/13/2019
Following the recent school shooting in Connecticut, American citizens have once again displayed their total ignorance concerning the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the Second Amendment. Facebook postings, comments to so-called news articles and letters to the editor are calling for repeal of the Second Amendment. These individuals believe the right to own a firearm is based on the Second Amendment and the right will vanish if the Amendment can be repealed. Unless the Second Amendment created the right, then repeal of the Amendment cannot constitutionally abolish the right.

Bump Stock Ban Bumps Up Against the Constitution :: 03/12/2019
After the tragic mass shooting in Las Vegas, the phrase “bump stock” entered the public lexicon. What was, and always has been, a gun-range novelty was suddenly the subject of national discussion.

DENVER–The “Red Flag” bill moving through the Colorado Legislature has been the subject of plenty of debate, but as it stands now, for persons against whom even a temporary Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) has been issued, there is a risk they could be trapped into inadvertently violating federal gun control laws.
