Here’s Why Someone Would Need To Own An ‘Assault’ Rifle
Guns: The left keeps asking why anyone needs an “assault” rifle.

The left quite often exposes its raging elitism through its odious habit of asking why […]
‘Gun Control Fails,’ Say Statistics from.…Gun-Control Advocates
After the Newtown, Connecticut mass murder [1], anti-rights politicians and media shifted into high gear. The only “solution” for such a tragedy was another gun ban; within two days, Senator Dianne Feinstein [2] introduced her version. Pundits like the Washington Post’s Ezra Klein [3] politicized the tragedy by claiming that America is an unusually violent place, […]
Armed Citizens Make Fewer Mistakes Than Police
A common argument heard from the anti-gun crowd is that they don’t want “Joe Citizen” carrying a gun, just police and trained professionals. Their position is that Joe Citizen doesn’t have the training or the knowledge to be able to use a gun for self defense safely or responsibly. For years, Chicago Mayor Richard M. […]

Mainstream media blacks out CCW holder interventions in mass shootings
It must be acknowledged that many mass shooting attacks today unfortunately take place in pretend “gun-free zones,” such as schools, movie theaters and shopping malls. According to Ron Borsch’s study for the Force Science Research Center at Minnesota State University-Mankato, active shooters are different from the gangsters and other street toughs whom a police officer […]
Gun Control is Evil Misspelled
If you’re the biblically minded sort, then the trouble began when a jealous Cain clubbed Abel to death, but if you’re evolutionarily minded, then it’s a “chicken and egg” question. Violence had no beginning, except perhaps in the Big Bang; it was always here, coded into the DNA. The issue isn’t really guns. Guns are […]
