Debunking Mother Jones' '10 Pro-Gun Myths, Shot Down' :: 07/07/2017
I’ve been inundated by emails in the last couple days asking for me to straighten out an article from Mother Jones titled “10 Pro-Gun Myths, Shot Down.” The premise of the piece is simple: paint gun owners as paranoid idiots, and make gun control activists feel superior because their violent opponents don’t have a firm grasp on reality. But the piece does the exact opposite — it proves that Mother Jones and their associated gun control cheerleaders don’t care about facts. They don’t care about the truth. They just hate gun owners. So, let’s take a look . . .

Hollywood Liberal: NRA Might Be A Terrorist Organization :: 07/04/2017
I hate to admit it, but the talks of a so-called truce, or a toning down of the political rhetoric, by our members of Congress was crap. We all knew it. C’mon—you’ve had to see this lie coming a mile away. We have two separate parties that have deep, systemic divisions on how government should be run and it’s associated issues, free speech, gun rights, health care etc., so a truce on the rhetoric was never going to happen. Just like it didn’t happen after Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ) was shot. Even as House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-LA) fought for his life, liberals were more or less saying he deserved it because he had the voting record of a conservative Republican. Scores more were hoping that he died.

Let's be honest about America's obsession with guns: They're fun :: 07/03/2017
There is a reason why America has about as many guns as people, and it's not because millions are terrified of a home invasion or fear drug gangs crossing the Rio Grande. It is a reason "anti-gunners" seldom acknowledge, but it helps explain the rejection of seemingly reasonable firearm safety laws.
