Now the 49-year-old writer stood in what he half-jokingly referred to as “enemy territory” — a gun range in the gun-loving state of Virginia — and listened to an instructor named CJ lay out the rules. “No gun-handling in the facility except in the booth, no exceptions whatsoever,” he told Karns. “The gun always points

Gun control advocates know that Montanans cherish their right to keep and bear arms. That’s why this election season, out-of-state anti-gun interests are working to deceive rather than win over Montana voters. Case in point is the deceptive messaging of the gun control supporters opposed to pro-Second Amendment ballot measure LR-130.  Reflecting the state’s overwhelming

Republican Rosemary Becchi repeatedly attempted to paint Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-Montclair) as a member of the Democratic Party’s far left while unabashedly embracing President Donald Trump during a New Jersey Globe debate Sunday night.
