Louisiana Joins Fight Against NYC's Draconian Gun Laws :: 10/11/2018
There’s nowhere in the country where it’s more difficult to own a gun that New York City.

UN, Not Americans, Responsible For 100,000 Guns On Black Market :: 10/10/2018
A number of people seem to look at the United Nations as a good thing. In truth, it probably could have been something good, but instead what we see is a group that gives third-world hellholes the same standing as the United States and a platform that allows them to lecture us on all the ways we suck. It’s pretty rich coming from countries that have difficulty consistently feeding their people, but there you have it.
Why California's Gun Ban For People With 'Mental Illness' Is A Bad Idea :: 10/10/2018
Aurora movie theater shooter James Holmes was in treatment for schizophrenia when he opened fire and killed 12 people. Newtown school shooter Adam Lanza “struggled with basic emotions,” and as a child wrote a disturbing short story about a grandma who wanted to taxidermy a little boy to place on her mantel. He later killed 28 people. So it doesn’t seem like a stretch to claim that many of America’s most notorious mass shooters suffer from severe mental illness — and that perhaps with a little more oversight we could have stopped them from accessing weapons.

U.S.A. –(Ammoland.com)- “As immigrants flow across US border, American guns go south,” the Associated Press claims. “While the flow of drugs and immigrants into the U.S. has been well-documented for decades and become a regular part of the political debate, what is often overlooked is how gangs and drug cartels exploit weaknesses at the border to smuggle guns from the U.S. into Latin America.”
