Survey: Americans Think Most Gun Deaths are Murders (They're Not) :: 10/07/2019
Nearly 6 in 10 Americans think that homicides or mass shootings, rather than suicide, are the leading causes of gun deaths in the United States, a new survey shows.
Cleveland Columnist Tries Emotional Blackmail to Push Gun Control :: 10/06/2019
It’s the laziest gun control argument there is; if you don’t support restricting the right to keep and bear arms, you must be okay with murder. It’s an intellectually dishonest and emotionally manipulative position, and it’s embraced by Cleveland Plain-Dealer columnist Brent Larkin in a new op/ed entitled, “Rejecting gun control is akin to condemning more kids to die” that argues opponents of gun control just don’t care much about human life.
Assault Weapons More Popular Than Ever, Crime Still Going Down :: 10/05/2019
So-called assault weapons are being demonized with every op-ed the anti-gunners can manage. They’re described as weapons used to hunt humans. People claim they serve no purpose except for murder. Folks with no self-defense background routinely claim that such weapons are useless for self-defense.
Rally for the Second Amendment November 2nd, the Capitol, Washington DC :: 10/05/2019

The Logical Fraud of Conflating Gun Deaths with Public Safety :: 10/05/2019
U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- Vox recently published an article by German Lopez that makes a logical error. The article conflates an increase in “gun deaths” with a decrease in public safety. The jump is made from an article published last year, in 2018, where the Rand Corporation published a chart based on a number of different and dubious studies on “gun deaths”. From the previous article:
Arguments For Gun Control Are Irrational :: 10/04/2019
On September 11th, 2001, approximately 3,000 Americans lost their lives in the worst ever terrorist attack on our home soil. For years afterwards, terrorism dominated the news, and the fear of terrorist violence became widespread.
DRGO: Red Cards on Red Flag Waving Politicians :: 10/04/2019
Virginians have the opportunity soon to vote for candidates for all of the seats in the General Assembly—both Delegates and State Senators. Millions of dollars are pouring in from out-of-state in a shameless attempt to hijack the election and shift the political orientation of the Commonwealth from red to blue. Second Amendment infringements1 hawked by confiscationists2 are at the top of the list of issues presently.
Gun Control, Knife Control, and Glass Control :: 10/04/2019
Only when guns, knives and glass bottles are banned, we’ll be safe. Nobody needs an AR-15. Or a handgun. Or a kitchen knife.
The Fake News of Gun-Control Studies :: 10/04/2019
Pop-psychology of gun owners has gone mainstream. Researchers are often attempting to psychoanalyze gun owners without speaking to gun owners. They’re mining statistics to find evidence for their political biases and then stepping back to explain their “findings” about gun owners with what amounts to anti-gun pop-psychology.
Dems Display Contempt for 2nd Amendment At Gun Violence Forum :: 10/03/2019
It was billed as a forum on “gun violence,” but it turned into an hours-long rally for gun control that highlighted the contempt many of the Democrats running for president have toward the Second Amendment.
Dems' Gun Safety Proposals Trample Second Amendment :: 10/03/2019
The FBI released its Uniform Crime Report for 2018 on Monday. Notably, the number of homicides decreased significantly — by 7%. What may be even more surprising is that murders committed with firearms fell by 6.7%. And of those murders committed with a firearm, only 2.8% were with a rifle (this includes AR-type rifles), for a total of 297. It’s not a new trend, but The Washington Free Beacon notes, “Rifles were used less often to commit murder than knives, fists, and blunt objects.” Meanwhile, the overall steady decrease in violent crime has coincided with a steady increase in the number of firearms sold and owned. These are the facts.

Joe Biden's Gun-Control Plan Is a Constitutional Disaster :: 10/03/2019

Laura Ingraham: Dems Don't See Bearing Arms As Real Right :: 10/03/2019
I was happy to join Fox News host Laura Ingraham last night to talk about the March For Our Lives/Giffords forum in Las Vegas yesterday, where Elizabeth Warren vowed to reduce gun violence by 80% in just eight years, Cory Booker talked up everything from gun bans to storage laws, Beto O’Rourke once again sunnily assumed that Americans will just cooperate with his compensated confiscation program, and candidates from Joe Biden to Andrew Yang all treated the right to keep and bear arms as if it was no impediment at all to their plans for sweeping restrictions on gun ownership.
New Poll Shows How Badly Media Has Misinformed Public On Guns :: 10/03/2019
Right now, guns are being demonized. It seems everyone outside of the die-hard pro-gun factions is entertaining the idea of gun control. After all, we’re told, we’re in the midst of an epidemic of violence. Guns are killing people wholesale. Presidential candidates are claiming that guns kill more people than anything else. Worse, though, people buy it.
NYTimes: Australia Shooting Raises Questions About Gun Control :: 10/03/2019
The headline is surprising for the New York Times: “Shooting In Sydney Raises Questions About Gun Control”. Sounds like something you might read here, or maybe the headline to a Stephen Gutowski story or a David Harsanyi column, right? The story itself, however, is exactly what you’d expect from the Times.
WATCH: Former Sniper Provides a Perfect Example of The Flaws In Democrats' Gun Control Plans :: 10/03/2019
Former Special Operations Sniper Ryan Cleckner appeared on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" to discuss the 2020 Democrats' gun control proposal.

Old Nuremberg Trials and New Mandatory Gun Confiscation :: 10/02/2019
I’ve met lots of police officers who said they would never go door-to-door and confiscate guns. I’ve also met officers who would. Seizing someone’s property is a slippery slope, and the edge is closer than we might think. Several Democrat presidential candidates already called for gun-confiscation. Unfortunately, none of the other Democrat candidates denounced it. Consider how gun confiscation plays out from the police officer’s perspective. Some states have gun-confiscation laws in place already.
