The Fear of Guns :: 07/01/2015

Dan Wos of the Defining Success in America blog writes: When I was a kid, my Dad took me out hunting and target shooting. He loved it. Me, not so much. It just wasn’t my thing. I tried, but I just wasn’t interested. I mean, I didn’t dislike guns and I wasn’t scared of them. I just wasn’t all that interested. When he would buy a new pistol, he would show it to me and I could tell he loved these things.

As a Matter of Fact, Americans DO Hunt With ARs and AKs :: 06/30/2015

By now you’ve probably heard that no one hunts (or needs to bring down a deer/coyote/hog) with a so-called “assault weapon.” And there’s no tradition of doing so in these United States. We know this because the White House press secretary told us so.

Chuck Schumer to use Church Shooting to Push Irrelevant, Useless Gun Control Laws :: 06/30/2015

Clintons' disdain for Second Amendment :: 06/30/2015

Arkansas has pretty permissive gun laws. It does not require handgun owners to obtain licenses, does not ban so-called assault weapons, issues concealed-carry permits to anyone who meets a short list of objective criteria, accepts carry permits issued by other states and, since 2013, arguably allows people to openly carry handguns without a permit.

Conservative Media Argue Same-Sex Marriage Ruling Creates Constitutional Right To Carry A Gun In Public :: 06/30/2015

Conservative media used the Supreme Court decision affirming that marriage is a fundamental right of all Americans to argue that the Constitution also requires states to recognize concealed carry permits issued by other states. But the Supreme Court has never held that carrying a gun in public is a fundamental right.

Misfire: The gun lobby miscalculates on a sneaky bill :: 06/30/2015

The U.S. Supreme Court has not been the only judicial body issuing big opinions. Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth Court voided a 2014 law last week that gave the National Rifle Association the right to sue municipalities over their gun laws and to force taxpayers to pay legal costs if the challenges were successful.

Nuetered British Fear Terrorists May Attack With Smuggled Guns :: 06/30/2015

What SCOTUSCare Means for Second Amendment Supporters :: 06/30/2015

On June 25th, 2015, the Supreme Court ruled that a law’s language doesn’t matter. What matters: what the Justices want the law to say. We have seen this break-down in the rule of law before. The Warren Court was famous for it. During the so-called Roosevelt revolution of the 1930’s, the Supreme Court went down the same path.

Bye-Bye Second Amendment :: 06/29/2015

Now that the Obama Administration has two wins under their belt with the recent Supreme Court decisions on ObamaCare and Gay Marriage, look for the president and his allies in the Democrat Party and the anti-gun activists to be emboldened, and attempt to capitalize on the Court’s willingness to legislate from the bench.

Can Gay Couples Open Carry AR-15s in Washington, DC As A Result Of Obergefell? :: 06/29/2015

The 5-4 Supreme Court decision in Obergefell v. Hodges was celebrated loudly as a victory for supporters of gay “marriage” Friday, and yet, the way the case was decided, using a new interpretation of the 14th Amendment’s due process clause, may have opened the floodgates for gun rights reform.

Deadly Aesthetics and Anti-gun Addicts :: 06/29/2015

A South Carolina pastor disarmed the honest men and women in his congregation.  The pastor was also a state legislator.  His votes for gun prohibition helped create an entire state full of disarmed victims in every church, every mosque and every temple.  Those laws guaranteed that a crazy person would be unopposed when, someday, a crazy person brought a gun into church.

GOP Stops CDC 2nd Amendment "Research and Destroy" Mission :: 06/29/2015

I don’t know about you, but I need some good news this week.  And there is a happy crumb to report: the House Appropriations Committee has rejected an amendment that would allow the CDC to “study the underlying causes of gun violence” (not that guns are violent in and of themselves, but you know the drill).
