How Rand Paul Has Already Changed the 2016 Race :: 06/12/2015
Rand Paul has been a bad, bad boy. Just ask him. “I’m not very popular in Washington right now” was his opening line at a series of town-hall meetings in New Hampshire, two weeks after he had filibustered and, temporarily, crashed the bulk collection of phone data by the federal government. “I messed up their Memorial Day plans.” The line drew laughter and applause in the great state of New Hampshire, a flinty and skeptical province.
How to Dismantle the NFA :: 06/12/2015
We all need to ask ourselves: ‘How did we lose all the 2A rights that were lost during the 20th century? Did we lose them in one fell swoop? Or, did we lose them one or a few rights at a time? What made the antis so successful?’ Everyone wants to live in a fantasy land of his own imaginary Utopia. No one is eager to disturb his wishful thinking by practical considerations. Were the progressives that dumb? Should we be that dumb?
Lawful Purpose & Self Defense Act, HR2710 Would Modernize the Gun Control Act of 1968 :: 06/12/2015
NSSF Supports Rep. Bishop’s ‘Lawful Purpose and Self Defense Act,’ H.R. 2710. Lack of a clear definition of what “sporting purposes” and “sporting use” mean has allowed, for example, the Obama Administration to try to circumvent Congress and attempt to ban a popular type of ammunition for modern sporting rifles.

More examples of gun control failures and UBC mythology :: 06/12/2015
Today’s Seattle Times headlines a pair of crime stories that underscore the inherent failure of gun control while strengthening the argument that so-called “universal background checks” (UBC) as a crime-prevention tool are a myth, and a third report from Arkansas – about a police chief losing his gun – provides the proverbial frosting on the cake.
Should felons be able to own guns? :: 06/12/2015
Once convicted felons have served their sentences, they should, with rare exceptions, be able to resume civic life, including recovering lost rights such as voting and serving on juries. But should they be allowed to own guns? Right now they are barred from doing so, but the House recently voted to resume an abandoned program that lets ex-felons apply for permission to own firearms.
The Obama Administration is Trying to Control Your Guns AND Your Speech :: 06/12/2015
As we’ve written, Barack Obama was never a “Constitutional Law Professor” and we seriously doubt he’s ever even read the Constitution. After all, he did attribute a quote from the Declaration of Independence to the Constitution in a SOTU speech. And, if there’s two things Obama, and the Left in general, hate it’s our right to own and carry a gun and our right to criticize the government.
Constitution Check: Are gun rights withering away? :: 06/11/2015
“The dire warnings that the U.S. Supreme Court’s recognition of an individual right to bear arms would lead to a wholesale voiding of gun-control law seem to have been overblown. The most recent case in point: the Justices on Monday declined to review a San Francisco gun law that was remarkably similar to one they struck down in a landmark ruling in 2008 [District of Columbia v. Heller]….
Milwaukee bar owner's self-defense struggle leads to Second Amendment win :: 06/11/2015

Pfleger and Jackson vs. the NRA :: 06/11/2015
One would think that Catholic priests like Chicago’s Rev. Michael Pfleger, an early supporter of Barack Obama and his push for gun control, would not be bearing false witness against one of his neighbors. Yet there he was standing in front of Chuck’s Gun Shop in suburban Riverdale, Illinois, to blame it, and other legal businesses like it, along with the National Rifle Association, for the murder spree in the gun-controlled progressive worker’s paradise of Chicago.
Protecting the Second Amendment :: 06/11/2015
As an avid hunter and lifelong gun owner, I have always been a strong defender of the Second Amendment. We cherish our right to bear arms in South Dakota, where we have a strong outdoor heritage and lively economy based on sportsmen activity. This fundamental right is embedded in the Constitution and must be fiercely protected.
A Gun Control Advocate Tells You What He Really, Really Wants :: 06/10/2015
Gun control advocates’ crusade for “gun safety” is a sham. Although they won’t admit it – lest they lose popular support – the antis believe that guns are only safe when they’re in the hands of the police and/or the military. Which is a really scary thought, what with the Holocaust, ISIS and the unfathomable suffering of Mexico’s unarmed rural population as our guide. But it’s not a thought that occurs to John Sutija, writing for fiusm.com . . .
Are You Too Stupid for a Concealed Carry Permit? :: 06/10/2015
Sometimes, certain people just aren’t cut out to carry a firearm — let alone own one. It takes a certain type of person to own and carry, and it’s a responsibility that every single potential gun owner needs to consider. Some need to ask themselves: “Am I too stupid to own/carry a firearm?” . . .
Campus carry offers protection: Opposing view :: 06/10/2015
Spearheaded by Sen. Brian Birdwell and Rep. Allen Fletcher, Texas Senate Bill 11 marks another step in the steady march of states choosing to legalize the carry of concealed firearms on college campuses.
Deleting Browser History Could Be Considered 'Obstruction Of Justice' :: 06/10/2015
Deleting your internet browser history may be considered obstruction of justice under an obscure Federal Securities law. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 was meant to prevent corporations from destroying documents. However, the act may also apply to the deletion of internet browser history.

Meet the F-bomb-spewing ex-cop behind the NRA's move to topple California's gun laws :: 06/10/2015
"They can call me a gadfly. They can call me whatever they want to call me." "The NRA asked me to keep my mouth shut, but I've never run from a fuckin' interview in my life," Edward Peruta barks into the phone.
Obama's Gun-Control Misfire :: 06/10/2015
Last September the Obama administration produced an FBI report that said mass shooting attacks and deaths were up sharply—by an average annual rate of about 16% between 2000 and 2013. Moreover, the problem was worsening. “The findings establish an increasing frequency of incidents,” said the authors. “During the first 7 years included in the study, an average of 6.4 incidents occurred annually. In the last 7 years of the study, that average increased to 16.4 incidents annually.”

San Francisco's Dangerously Intrusive Gun Storage Rule :: 06/10/2015
This week the Supreme Court passed up an opportunity to get the government out of the bedroom. Counterintuitively, the case involved an ordinance adopted by the famously tolerant and progressive city of San Francisco just eight years ago.
