New Zealand's Next Gun Law: Firearms Prohibition Orders :: 11/13/2019
New Zealand’s compensated confiscation program isn’t going so well, with a compliance rate hovering around 20% with a little more than a month to go before the amnesty period expires. Now the government is considering a new way to confiscate firearms called a “Firearms Prohibition Order”. Ostensibly designed to prevent “high risk” individuals from being around a firearm, the proposed law could potentionally be used and abused to go after law abiding citizens as well.
The Racist Roots of Gun Control :: 11/13/2019
Before the Civil War, the great anti-slavery writer Lysander Spooner used the Second Amendment to argue that slavery was unconstitutional. Since a slave is a person who cannot possess arms, and the Second Amendment guarantees that all persons can possess arms, no person in the United States, therefore, can be a slave. “The right of a man ‘to keep and bear arms,’ is a right palpably inconsistent with the idea of his being a slave,” Spooner wrote.

Despite Gun Laws, Even Juvenile Criminals Are Getting Guns :: 11/10/2019
When I was a kid, my parents were reading the school handbook at a new elementary school I had just started. “Oh, well, Tom. Looks like you can’t carry your pistol on campus,” my father quipped. “Same with your cigarettes or booze.”
The Real Reasons Republicans Lost Virginia :: 11/10/2019
Following the Virginia election debacle last Tuesday, Republican voters in the Old Dominion might feel tempted to despair of dreaming about a red Virginia ever again. Many seem disposed to wait out President Trump’s term under the impression that Republicans cannot win under Trump. However, the Virginia Republican Party failed to field viable candidates, use the political resources available to them, or articulate any sort of stance on electoral issues. Democrats did not win Virginia, nor did a massive turn in national sentiment doom the Republican Party; the Virginia State GOP ruined its own chances.
Universal Background Checks & Waiting Periods are Dangerous :: 11/10/2019
A good approach to decrease gun violence and street crime should not involve penalizing law-abiding citizens and infringing on their Second Amendment rights while coddling criminals. And that is exactly what “Progressives” want to do. In fact, they have tried to exempt criminal gangs from the Red Flag laws they want to exact on the law-abiding citizen. It sounds incredible but it is true!
A Bogus Study on Concealed-Carry Killings :: 11/09/2019
The anti-gun Violence Policy Center (VPC) released a study recently with an eye-popping claim: Concealed-carry-permit holders have killed 1,335 people since 2007. “Too many concealed-carry permit holders are a direct threat to public safety,” warns the VPC.

As Gun Owners Look to Nullify Gun Laws, Sanctuary Isn't Just for Immigrants :: 11/09/2019
Since President Donald Trump won in 2016, people were led to believe that the Trump administration would be one of the most pro-gun administrations ever . However, a bump stock ban courtesy of the ATF and the passage of Fix-NICS legislation has disappointed gun owners who believed Trump would make at least some marginal pro-gun reforms.
