Guns In The News

“Researchers from the University of California, Davis, have found that, in the three years since California implemented the nation’s first law allowing guns to be taken from individuals who pose an extreme risk, the so-called red flag orders have prevented at least 21 mass shootings. That’s how the Sacramento Bee summarized a …

“How many times I have broadcasted on air that you either deal lawfully with corrupt anti-gunner politicians for violating our Bill of Rights (Article 2, Section 4, US Constitution), or you will be disarmed. There is no in-between. If Americans do not want to learn from history, then Americans will …

It seems that the gun control ideas of former Congressman and Texas Democrat Robert “Beto” O’Rourke don’t travel well.  They didn’t even survive a trip across the Texas state line into Arkansas. O’Rourke is pushing a campaign platform that embraces an aggressive gun control agenda. It’s another of O’Rourke’s campaign reboots, this …

A “friend-of-the-court” brief from five U.S. senators, all Democrats, in a Second Amendment case pending before the U.S. Supreme Court made news for its impudence. The entire document is accusatory, especially its final paragraph, which states: “The Supreme Court is not well. And the people know it. Perhaps the Court can heal …

A smart person learns from his mistakes. An even smarter person learns from the mistakes of others. Beto O’Rourke, an unemployed Texan running for president, must not be too smart. Not only is O’Rourke adopting as his own the signature issue pushed by Eric Swalwall, the first candidate to drop …

As I said in this column last week, Republicans Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham and Marco Rubio are joining forces with liberal Democrats to soon enact “red flag” gun confiscation laws. I also reported on the push for the enactment of other gun control measures such as universal background checks …

This column is an unapologetic appeal to action. In 2016, Donald Trump said, “I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters.” He must still believe that, because after promising his supporters that he will protect the 2nd Amendment, he is …

Due to the recent mass shootings, there is a major push for so-called “red flag” gun laws at both the state and federal levels. These laws are the latest tool for gun control advocates to confiscate guns from people based upon only tips and suspicion. No crime has to be committed to trigger an …
