The Slanted Findings of a Gun-Control “Study”
Everytown for Gun Safety is a Michael Bloomberg-funded gun-ban group that has never heard of an anti-gun proposal that it hasn’t supported. So, when Everytown recently joined with The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) and the Polarization & Extremism Research & Innovation Lab to study “youth” and guns, it should …
Far More Gun Owners than Gun Controllers Pretend
Part of the gun control advocates’ narrative includes the claim that the number of gun owners in the U.S. is falling. The obvious goal of this messaging campaign is to convince policymakers that they need not consider the rights or the democratic will of this supposedly diminishing portion of the population. A …
The Mayor’s Gun-Control Comments Are Telling
As a staunch gun-rights supporter, I’ve often wondered over the years whether those anti-gunners fighting so hard to curtail the rights of law-abiding Americans really believe in their cause. After all, they have access to the same information we do that proves that armed citizens save lives and that criminals are responsible …
DOES POLLING REALLY SHOW THAT A MAJORITY OF AMERICANS SUPPORT STRICTER GUN CONTROL?
The majority of Americans support universal background checks for firearm purchases, according to a survey conducted by the McCourtney Institute for Democracy. Some 86% of Americans support Congress mandating universal background checks for all firearm sales and purchases, the poll claimed, while a bipartisan majority support gun licensing instead of constitutional carry. …
Meet the U.S. Senate’s Gun-Control Caucus
It is real American political theater to think of all the members of the U.S. Senate’s new gun-control caucus, which formally named itself the “Gun Violence Prevention Caucus,” sitting around a table in some hidden-away chamber in the Dirksen Senate Office Building plotting their many gun-control schemes—and, as you’ll see, …
Indianapolis City Council Attempts to Enact Gun Control
In a blatant attempt to violate preemption, the Indianapolis City Council has advanced an “unenforceable” gun control package. The ordinance raises the age to buy a firearm from 18 to 21, ends constitutional carry, and bans many common semi-automatic firearms. In 2011, NRA worked with the General Assembly to pass …
So Kamala Harris is the New Gun-Control Spokesperson?
President Joe Biden (D) and Vice President Kamala Harris (D) are seeking a second term, despite abysmal approval ratings. With that in mind, it’s curious that Biden announced that Harris would be his “leading voice” in addressing what he calls “gun violence.” It’s not that Biden and Harris don’t agree on what …
No. Obama and Other Gun Controllers Don’t Want to Treat Guns Like Cars
Always one for lame platitudes, last week Barack Obama suggested that gun control has become too politicized and that firearms should be regulated like motor vehicles. Speaking with CBS Mornings, the former president offered something of a kinder, gentler version of his 2008 bitter clingers statement, opining, I think somehow, and there are …
Minnesota Goes for Gun Control
A Minnesota measure that will inflict unjust gun-control restrictions on the law-abiding citizens of the North Star State was recently signed into law by Gov. Tim Walz (D) Senate File 2909, called the “Public Safety Omnibus Bill,” infringes on the constitutionally protected rights of gun owners, and not just their …
This Growing Trend Highlights the Hypocrisy of Gun-Control Elites
As many of the country’s police departments grapple with dips in funding, reputational crises, lack of morale and a struggle to keep numbers in most departments at approved levels—all as violent crime surges—many businesses and citizens are opting to hire their own private police forces of sorts: armed guards. According …
