Pa. was the last state to allow hunting with an AR-15, and hunters are split :: 02/07/2018
In 2017, Pennsylvania became the last state to legalize semi-automatic rifles – including AR-15s – for hunting. It looked like the guns might be allowed for furbearers, small game and big game, until something surprising happened:
Violence Policy center's gun study marred by omissions, flaws :: 02/07/2018
IN its efforts to advance gun control measures, the Violence Policy Center compiles data to bolster its policy positions. We have no problem with that. But in doing so, the center has connected dots that don't line up while obscuring key data that undermines their positions.
Look to the legislators, not the courts, for freedom :: 02/06/2018
Courts can't always be counted on. Legislation, in many cases, has more of an impact than a court ruling.
Russians Pushing 2nd Amendment Hoping Americans Will Kill Each Other :: 02/06/2018
We reported earlier today that George Soros has been a financial backer of Rep. Adam Schiff’s political career (see below) via his organization MoveOn.org. It becomes clearer that when you’re listening to Schiff that he’s just a mouthpiece for Soros and the far left. Listen to the wacky suggestion below that Russia is promoting our Second Amendment and “would be thrilled if we were doing nothing but killing each other every day…” Whoa!
America Hasn't Stopped Caring About Violence, Just Strawman Arguments :: 02/05/2018

Germany: Amid concerns over public safety, Germans are buying more weapons :: 02/05/2018

No, guns are not the problem :: 02/05/2018
We’re a month, more or less, into the new year and America has already suffered two school shootings. As usual, the usual voices are calling for increased restrictions on the buying and selling of guns. But guns are not the problem, a contention I can prove.
Smithsonian: Wild West Had Gun Control (and it Failed Then Too) :: 02/05/2018

Democratic Leaders, Why Do You Find Patriotism Divisive? :: 02/03/2018

Under Trump, America Rises on Global Freedom Index :: 02/03/2018
So what changed? It’s safe to say that unlike Barack Obama, President Donald Trump has been the change we can believe in. Despite the hyperbolic, lunatic rantings of the media and progressive Democrats (but we repeat ourselves), Trump has not become America’s Hitler or Stalin; quite the opposite, in fact.
DRGO: Cognitive Dissonance :: 02/02/2018
“Cognitive dissonance” is the mental distress brought on by simultaneously holding conflicting strong beliefs, or by encountering information that contradicts strongly held beliefs. This stress can be reduced by changing one’s beliefs, though more commonly by denial (refusing to accept facts that contradict strongly held beliefs) or through rationalization (trying logically to justify something that is truly irrational).
Apathy will Kill the 2nd Amendment and End your Right to own a Firearm :: 02/01/2018
U.S.A. –-(Ammoland.com)- When was the last time you went shooting? When was the last time you attended a Friends of NRA dinner? When was the last time you did anything except complain about the NRA?
In New York, Gun Owners Balk At New Handgun Database - NPR :: 02/01/2018
This week marked the official deadline for more than 370,000 handgun owners in the state of New York to register those guns with state police.

Democrats Make War While Republicans Make Nice :: 01/31/2018
The battles for these United States are all around us. The Republicans are losing because they have not begun to fight. When Democrats are elected, then the media and bureaucrats tell us we should follow the decisions of our elected leaders.
Reshaping Federal Courts Could Be Trump's Lasting Legacy :: 01/31/2018
While political drama is playing out over the possible release of the controversial “FISA memo” that many conservatives suspect may reveal government surveillance abuses, President Donald Trump may be laying the foundation for his “greatest legacy” – reshaping the federal courts – according to CBN News.

DRGO: Keep Your Sight on Target :: 01/30/2018
Attempts to blame guns for mayhem are unfortunately frequent. In a recent Politico articled Laura Kiesel cites a number of reports of violence committed with guns. Unlike many authors, she calls for a more careful examination of factors that may lead to such shootings. This focus on those who commit acts rather than the means they use is commendable.
The Washington Post Ignores Right to Bear Arms :: 01/30/2018
Arizona -(Ammoland.com)- In an article about shall issue carry permits in Washington, D.C., the authors, Peter Hermann and Peter Jamison, ignore half of the rights contained in the Second Amendment. It is rather odd, considering it is the main topic of their article.
