FOP fundraising letter conceals the organization's anti-gun agenda

by Larry S. Moore I received my annual copy of the Fraternal Order of Police fund-raising letter asking for my support. I've been ignoring these letters for close to twenty years now.

by Chris Cox While both sides in the gun control debate regroup after our victory in the Senate earlier this week, I want to give credit where credit is due. The credit for [last] Wednesday's defeat of gun control goes to the countless gun owners and other Americans who drew a line in the sand—who sent emails and letters and made phone calls to their U.S. senators, urging them to protect private...

Gun confiscation already underway

by Thomas Lucente And so it begins. The gun grab. Liberal politicians keep telling us they don’t want to take away our guns. "I will not take your shotgun away. I will not take your rifle away. I won't take your handgun away," President Barack Obama has said. "There's no way Uncle Sam can go find out whether you have a gun," Vice President Joe Biden said.
