Washington Post: 'Democratic AGs are Using the Courts to Win on ... Gun Control'

With all due respect to the Washington Post, the headline to the recent article referenced in the title of this piece reminds us of the iconic phrase uttered by the character Inigo Montoya in the 1987 film Princess Bride. “You keep using that word (in this case, words, as in “courts” and “win”). I do not think it means what you think it means.” A headline announcing “using the courts to win on…...

BFA-backed constitutional amendment for 60% threshold to appear on August ballot

97Percent: Another fake 'pro gun' group calls for gun control

Here we go again. There's another gun group out there claiming to respect the Second Amendment while, of course, calling for more gun control.

And they pose as representatives of the majority of gun owners. In reality, they are a phony...

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has begun an effort to recover wide open triggers (WOT) from gun owners in multiple states. The WOT is a forced reset trigger (FRT).
