The
Constitution does NOT give you the right to UNREGULATED gun ownership, and our
lawmakers DO have the power, and the right, to ban assault style weapons,
semi-auto handguns, extended capacity magazines, and other firearm
paraphernalia from being sold to civilians. They also have the authority to
regulate the circumstances under which firearms are sold

Roger Caldwell By Roger Caldwell Why are there so many teenagers in America, who own guns, and it is condoned by their parents? It is time in America to find out who owns guns legally and determine what are the demographics and characteristics of a typical gun owner. Why do so many Americans believe
The COVID-19 pandemic led almost every state to expand voting rules to enable safe access to the polls in 2020. Those emergency rule changes or other expansions of voting rights then became permanent in every state where Democrats controlled the state legislature, save for one: Rhode Island. So why didn’t Rhode Island Democrats, with control
Young voters have a chance to change that for the next generation of students I was six years old in 2007. I remember when my mom picked me up from kindergarten and told me to be quiet while the reporter on the radio described the scene on the Virginia Tech University campus. She wouldn’t tell
Wait! Was that an NRA spokesman on Morning Joe today, making the case for the Second Amendment? Nope, turns out it was actually David Ignatius. But the hyper-establishment Washington Post columnist/editor and Morning Joe foreign-policy maven unwittingly made a strong case for the right to keep and bear arms! Commenting on the price
Democratic New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has mocked the Christmas photo shared by Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert, in which she poses with her children holding firearms. Ms Boebert is the second member of the GOP to release a Christmas family photo that includes firearms for the whole family. “The Boeberts have your six, @RepThomasMassie!
Yesterday, the U.S. House of Representatives approved a revised version of the FY22 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), the annual defense bill that directs funding for our nation’s military. The two anti-gun provisions that were included in an earlier version were removed from the final House-passed bill. The first provision, led by Rep. Jackie Speier
Colorado Republican Representative Lauren Boebert tweeted a Christmas photo posing with her children holding guns. Ms Boebert is the second member of the GOP to release a Christmas family photo that includes multiple firearms. “The Boeberts have your six, @RepThomasMassie!

The surprise resignation of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo instantly upended the 2022 governor’s race in New York, opening the floodgates for a rush of candidates vying for the state’s highest office after more than a decade with Mr. Cuomo at the helm. At least seven candidates have formally begun campaigns for governor, the most powerful
A sad fact about gun control politics is that if you are cynical enough you can darn near see the future. Consider this NRA-ILA item from November 8, titled, “NBC News Tattletale Alerts Secret Service to “Let’s go Brandon” AR-15 Receiver.” The piece concerned an NBC News reporter who contacted the U.S. Secret Service over the sale of an
In a year that’s seen the most school shootings in at least two decades, the search for accountability and prevention is leading to parents. A Michigan prosecutor quickly took legal action against the mother and father of a student gunman who is accused of killing four students last week. The parents were charged with multiple
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! TV personality and medical professional Dr. Mehmet Oz’s previous statements on gun control have raised eyebrows after his entry into the 2022 Senate race in Pennsylvania as a Republican candidate, though Oz now says he firmly supports gun rights.

As we reported yesterday, the Senate Law & Public Safety Committee has gun control on the schedule for Thursday, and a second bill will only pile on to the already bad agenda. S.372 will require all new residents to get an FID card within 30 days and register any guns they might be bringing with them.
Yesterday, the City Council of Conway passed Ordinance #2021-12-06 (C) to ban open carry in city buildings and during city-permitted events. It goes into effect immediately. The police chief previously said that limiting open carry is to “curtail the potential for gun violence,” but he made no mention of how, or if, he intended to
Parents have been showing up in droves at school board meetings across the country to protest mask mandates, vaccine requirements and critical race theory. If only they would get as worked up over what really harms their children: guns. Last week Americans faced the horror of yet another school shooting. In Oxford, Mich., 15-year-old Ethan

SAN ANTONIO – Record-breaking gun sales during the pandemic combined with multiple Texas law changes regarding firearms have led to some confusion about what’s legal and what isn’t in terms of firearms. According to FBI statistics, there have been more firearm background checks in 2020 and 2021 than any other year in history. So far

This is the season of holiday festivities, family gatherings, and retrospectives. We don’t operate on seasons, though. Gun owners didn’t wait for a holiday to air their grievances; they took every opportunity to let their legislators and the ATF know where they stood on infringement. Americans exercised their 2nd Amendment rights every day. This isn’t
When I saw the recent article entitled, “A Supreme Threat of Gun Violence in Second Amendment Fight” and further saw that the author, a Ph.D. scientist working for the Brady anti-gun group, had a son who was shot and killed, I sadly knew two things. The author had suffered tragedy, and no claim of data
As a general rule, Michigan governors and other politicians just love it when the state gets national publicity … except when it stinks. “Four Students Gunned Down in Oxford High School.” “Michigan is Number One in Average Daily COVID cases.” It doesn’t get any stinkier than that. And, now, in the aftermath,
Anti-gun New Jersey politicians have never been bashful about slapping restrictions on Second Amendment rights in the Garden State. However, this latest, brazen campaign inches the state even closer to an outright ban on the Second Amendment. In a state that basically doesn’t observe right–to–carry at all, the state Senate is now poised to strip
The NRA is in trouble. The National Rifle Association filed for bankruptcy earlier this year and is facing multiple lawsuits for allegedly misusing funds for personal use and violating campaign finance laws. NPR’s TIM MAK spent four years investigating the powerful gun rights organization and found rampant corruption, greed, and mismanagement at the top, notably around NRA President Wayne LaPierre.
My sweet summer child, do you recall those waning days of 2020? A year of unfathomable death counts and self-imposed house arrest, online grocery orders and incessant Zoom calls, was finally, blessedly winding down. Admit it, you expected better of 2021. We all did. The end of our suffering was in sight, a box on
Last week, the Sixth Circuit failed to achieve the majority necessary to correct the ATF’s shifting classifications of bump stocks as “machine guns.” NRA-ILA’s amicus brief opposed the ATF’s legal authority to arbitrarily criminalize legal firearms. Because the judges split 8-8, the flawed bump stock rule is being reinstated. This is only one of several challenges
Six more states no longer require residents to hold a permit to carry a concealed firearm. Arkansas, Iowa, Montana, Tennessee, Texas and Utah this year enacted what gun rights advocates often refer to as “constitutional carry” measures. A legislative priority for groups such as the National Rifle Association, 21 states now have such measures in
As the country awaits a U.S. Supreme Court decision in a New York state case that may create a federal constitutional right to carry guns outside the home, what lessons can the nation draw from the recent acquittal in Wisconsin of Kyle Rittenhouse and the convictions in the murder of Ahmaud Arbery in Georgia? The
In the aftermath of Democratic Senator Chris Murphy accusing Republicans of hypocrisy over being “pro-life” in response to the school shooting in Michigan, several MSNBC hosts seized on the speech and used it to peddle anti-gun misinformation. In primetime, Chris Hayes and Joy Reid even had the Connecticut Senator on as a guest. And, even though
OPINION: With many Americans focused on headline-grabbing U.S. Supreme Court cases, it would be easy to miss a critically important case that has flown under the radar: Shinn v. Jones and Ramirez. Despite the consolidated case’s low-profile, it has the potential to fundamentally reshape the criminal justice system in a manner that should offend conservatives’ core sensibilities — that
A wise and illustrious woman once stated that “The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.” The paralyzation by our legislatures from the act of domestic terrorism in Oxford bring these wise words from Audre Lorde to my mind. America is paralyzed by the epidemic of gun violence. It is estimated that three million
