USA Today: Yes to gun bans, but no to confiscation :: 08/27/2019

While we all wait around to see whether or not the President is going to cave on gun control legislation, the editorial board at USA Today has published a lengthy screed about the need for moderation in what the Democrats should be asking for. They’re on board with a ban on “assault weapons” (along with extended magazines and other attachments) but they think that a mandatory “buyback” program or other forms of gun confiscation are a bridge too far. Why? Because it would cause people to stiffen their spines and reject the entire package.

Democrats Use Every Excuse to Disarm the Good Guys :: 08/26/2019

Gun-free zones disarm the good guys but fail to disarm violent murderers. We saw this again in the mass murders last month, but this isn’t a new phenomenon. We see example after example as we look at the history of violent attacks. Gun-control politicians don’t care about this history of failure and the media never holds gun-control politicians to account. In fact, Democrat politicians demand more gun-control after each mass murder. Here are a few of the failures they want us to ignore.

Tony Perkins: Solution to gun violence isn't what you think, says former police officer :: 08/26/2019

Increasingly, few if any genuinely safe places exist as a refuge from armed, angry, addicted young men pumped up on violent video games and suffering from the absence of a moral core. Schools, churches, shopping centers, businesses, and almost every place people gather have become targets for deranged individuals who are set on perpetrating evil and in possession of lethal weapons. At what point will we have the courage to acknowledge that our nation has a problem?

The Dirtiest Anti-Gun Trick, EXPOSED! :: 08/25/2019

USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- The anti-gun crowd loves to distort the position of gun-owners. It’s most often the only way they can win the argument. Often times, the gun-conversation turns into a war of words and statistics. But when the anti-gunners put their Bloomberg funded “statistics,” that have been reported in Huffington Post and “fact-checked” by Snopes, up against FBI data, their argument takes nose dive.

CA's Gun Control Laws Don't Stop Homemade Guns And Never Will :: 08/24/2019

California has the strictest gun control laws in the United States. While they look downright liberal to someone from the UK, they’re draconian by American standards.

For some blacks, mass shootings are a call to arms :: 08/24/2019

This year marks the 400th anniversary of the first time Europeans pointed guns at humans in African villages and marched them into the hulls of slave ships bound for American shores. From that day forward, black Americans have had a curious relationship with firearms, weapons that were used to keep them subdued during slavery, then terrorized in the Jim Crow south.

Most now understand that “red flag” laws violate the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights and many Republicans, including the president, now seem willing to join Democrats, after the recent shootings in El Paso and Dayton by crazed left-and right-wing extremists, to put dents in the Second Amendment hoping these laws “might” somehow help.
