We at the NRA have seen a lot of strange legal theories asserted by gun control advocates over the years, but a lawsuit filed on Tuesday by a group of Chicagoans still managed to distinguish itself in this dubious tradition by asserting that the plaintiffs have a "civil right" to specific forms of gun control.

7:00am Thursday, August 06, 2015
Over the past few election cycles, I've interviewed presidential candidates in all kinds of settings, all over the country. But no matter the candidate, and no matter the questions, they all had one thing in common: walls. A hotel room, a convention center, a studio, a stage. We sit down, we get mic-ed up, the lights go on, the cameras roll, and in 15 minutes it's all over. I'm in full hair and...
