Why not do what works? We’ve seen our fair share of tragedy over the last decade. Mass shootings, the loss of life, the cracking of the very fabric of society… Sometimes it’s hard to come up with solutions to these problems. But what if a solution already existed — and best of all, it worked? It does. It’s called carrying a concealed firearm every ... MORE

5 Times Concealed Carriers Have Stopped Mass Shootings
Why not do what works? We’ve seen our fair share of tragedy over the last decade. Mass shootings, the loss of life, the cracking of the very fabric of society… Sometimes it’s hard to come up with solutions to these problems. But what if a solution already existed — and best of all, it worked? It does. It’s called carrying a concealed firearm every ... MOREPoll Shows NRA Is 50% More Popular Than Hillary Clinton
Maybe the people are not-so dumb. We’ve been hearing a lot about this subject in the last few weeks. Among the list of the “enemies”
that Hillary Clinton is most proud of having made, the National Rifle
Association is right near the top of the list. This led one of her
prominent supporters to declare that the demise of the organization was ... MOREYes, The Second Amendment Protects Individual Rights
by Damon Root. What the New Yorker gets wrong about guns and the Constitution. In 2008 the U.S. Supreme Court recognized
what numerous historians and legal scholars have been saying for many
decades: Namely, that the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
secures an individual right—not a collective one—to keep and bear arms.
Yet despite ... MOREEnding Gun Violence: Common Sense Versus Magic
by Sheldon Richman. Only you are guaranteed to be present at an attack against you. What passes for thinking about the prevention of gun violence is not thinking at all. Thinking (as problem-solving) is a search for means that can be reasonably expected to achieve a given end. By reasonably I mean that supporting arguments can be provided to ... MOREJacob Sullum: Obama's Empty Gun Control Promise
A plea to sacrifice freedom for the empty promise of safety. President Obama is tired of calling for more gun control after every mass shooting, and I am tired of explaining
why that knee-jerk reaction is illogical. But he feels duty-bound to
continue ("each time this happens, I'm going to bring this up," he
says), and I guess I do too. Last night ... MOREKatie Zezima: Donald Trump's Plan Calls For Nationwide Concealed Carry And An End To Government Gun Bans
Gun control "a total failure." Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump -- who said he has a concealed carry permit -- called for the expansion of gun rights Friday, including making those permits applicable nationwide. In a position paper published on his website Friday afternoon, Trump called for the elimination of gun and magazine bans, ... MOREEurope's Gun Laws Disarm Victims, Not Terrorists
by J. D. Tucille. When wannabe-terrorist Ayoub El Khazzani was wrestled to the floor of a
train in France and given a righteous stomping by pissed off and
proactive passengers, they relieved him of a small armory. He had been
planning to inflict murder and mayhem with an AKM assault rifle, a
semiautomatic pistol, a box cutter, and a container of ... MOREJohn Stossel: Gun Lies
Guns are dangerous. So are lies. My town, New York City, enforces rigid gun laws. Police refused to assign me a gun permit. The law doesn't even let me hold a fake gun on TV to demonstrate something. But New York politicians are so eager to vilify gun ownership that they granted an exception to the anti-gun group States United to Prevent Gun ... MOREDavvid Harsanyi: Gun Control - The Killer’s Best Friend
They seem to prefer unarmed victims. Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez is suspected of murdering four unarmed Marines in Chattanooga and wounding others. As I write this, we still don’t know how Abdulazeez obtained his gun or what his motivations were—though, we can take an educated guess on the latter. What we do know is that ... MOREWalter E Williams: Constitutional Ignorance And Dereliction
It's about preserving liberty. The nation's demagogues and constitutionally ignorant are using the
Charleston, South Carolina, AME church shooting to attack the Second
Amendment's "right of the people to keep and bear Arms." A couple of
years ago, President Barack Obama said, "I have a profound respect for
the traditions of hunting that ... MOREPoll: Americans Prefer Neighborhoods That Allow Guns
by Joe Perticone. Americans know what they want — Americans want guns. That’s right. According to the latest poll by Rasmussen Reports, American voters “overwhelmingly” prefer to live in neighborhoods with high gun ownership, as opposed to areas that don’t allow firearms. The polling shows 68 percent of Americans “would feel safer” ... MOREKimberly Morin: TYRANNY ALERT! Obama Writes New Rules To Throw Gun Owners In JAIL For Doing THIS Online …
Criminalizing speech in America. According to a new State Department mandate, they want to end the sharing of technical data on line. It’s not clear why they want to do this other than to restrain free speech but they posted their new proposal on June 3rd. And while this ridiculous proposal would affect thousands or even millions of ... MOREHow Gun Control Is Causing Another European Holocaust
by Pedro Gonzales. When Adolph Hitler got into power, he confiscated all the guns owned by Jewish people. Then, once they were defenseless, he sent them all to concentration camps. Now, in 2015, Jews are being slaughtered again because of their religion. And because of strict gun control laws in Europe, they are once again defenseless. ... MOREVIDEO: More Guns, Less Murders
The USA has, by far, the highest per capita gun ownership in the world.
Armed Intruders Fail To Heed Warning From Homeowner With Gun To Not Take Another Step, Then Pay The Price
by Dave Urbanski. In the space of five days the city of Memphis, Tennessee, has seen its
second fatal shooting by a homeowner against reported armed home
intruders. TheBlaze reported the
first instance which occurred Tuesday when a woman answered a knock at a
front door. When two men reportedly forced their way in — one of them ... MORE
