Hidden Agenda or Ignorance? - Walter E. Williams :: 03/07/2018

If You're Trying To Ban Guns, The Least You Can Do Is Learn The Basics :: 03/07/2018
Can anyone imagine a major newspaper running an op-ed justifying public ignorance on public policy? Actually, not merely justifying the ignorance, but rather arguing that facts only help smother discourse rather than enhance it. It’s improbable. Then again, this is the gun debate. And one side benefits from policy illiteracy.

Close to 500 of these marches are set for March 24, and many will receive financial help from a major gun control activist group — at the rate of $5,000 for each event.

Science Provides Few Facts On Effects Of Gun Policies, Report Finds :: 03/07/2018
An analysis published Friday confirms the state of American gun policy science is not good, overall.

Why Gun-Control So Often Fails Miserably :: 03/07/2018
Recently, National Review‘s David French penned an op-ed in hopes of explaining to some people why so many of us own guns.

One School Shooting Killed Hundreds Despite Gun-Grabber Wish List :: 03/06/2018
USA – -(Ammoland.com)- The predictable reaction from doctrinaire gun-grabbers following the Florida school atrocities has been to ignore demonstrable causal factors and focus on citizen disarmament. What we see unfolding in the latest “children’s crusade” tactic is but a variation of the preferred “progressive” approach of using emotion to inflame “feelings.”

Concealed Carry Reciprocity In No Way Threatens State's Rights :: 03/05/2018
Gun owners in the U.S. who live along state lines are often only a few missteps away from years in prison. Consider the case of a Pennsylvania mother of two, Shaneen Allen, who was legally armed before she crossed a state line. One moment she was completely within the confines of the law, the next she was facing years in prison.

Why Did It Take Two Weeks To Reveal Parkland Students' Astroturfing? :: 03/05/2018
“Can you believe these kids?” It’s been a recurring theme of the coverage of the Parkland school shooting: the remarkable effectiveness of the high school students who created a gun control organization in the wake of the massacre.

Do Not Give An Inch On The Second Amendment :: 03/04/2018
Democrats, in a feat of political exploitation unrivaled in the 21st century, are now using the kids from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School to sign fundraising emails.
