What Democrats Stand To Lose In the Gun Debate :: 03/30/2018
Last Tuesday, former Associate Justice John Paul Stevens published an op-ed in The New York Times calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment. This is a notable first.

Instead, a much deeper and more important philosophy provides for gun ownership: natural rights. These rights are not given, but protected. Not to expand citizens’ rights, but to limit government’s power.

People Who Worry Activists Want To Take Guns Away Aren't Paranoid :: 03/29/2018
We hear it ad nauseum every gun-control debate: “No one is talking about taking away your guns.

The FBI and Omar Mateen, Pulse nightclub shooter :: 03/29/2018

CNN's Stelter Admits He Let David Hogg Get Away With Lies About Guns, NRA :: 03/28/2018
It’s not often that CNN media reporter Brian Stelter is honest about his blatant biases when it comes to politics, just take his assertions about the President’s mental fitness and his denials of making such connections.

The startling new proposal by 97-year-old former Supreme Court Associate Justice John Paul Stevens calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment to our Constitution’s Bill of Rights is unwise, dangerous and totally unrealistic. For 227 years, the amendment has guaranteed that “the right of the People to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” We should not abandon it.
