Right to arms in American colonies predates Bill of Rights

New evidence has surfaced which indicates Englishmen in the American colonies had the right to keep and bear arms before the right was codified in England. In 1606, King James I granted perpetual rights to arms for the Virginia colonies, which covered what would become the southern colonies during the 1600s. From The History of Bans on Types of Arms Before 1900, by David Kopel and Joseph Greenlee...

Gun prohibition advocates demonize lawful industry, ignore actual criminals

Here we go again. Four years after then-Vice President Joe Biden said, “Our enemy is the gun manufacturers,” gun control advocates are still trying to convince Americans that violent crime results from law-abiding businesses providing a constitutionally protected product under exacting government scrutiny.

Hat tip to Cleveland.com columnist Ted Diadiun for going against MSM grain, supporting Issue 1

It's no secret that most members of the mainstream media aren't exactly in line with the conservative side of any issue.

Ohio Issue 1: If it's really about big money and democracy, opposition again showing its hypocrisy

Big money is behind every major election. It's been that way almost since America's founding, and it will always be that way. For grassroots organizations like Buckeye Firearms Association, money comes in small packages from a large pool of donors who live ordinary lives but want to help secure Second Amendment rights in extraordinary ways. It doesn't come from a handful of billionaires, and it...

Ryan Busse is a fear merchant, liar, but no firearms expert

Anytime the media’s favorite former “gun guy” turned-gun control advocate gets invited to speak about gun control, hold on. It’s going to be a wild ride. Ryan Busse, Senior Advisor for Giffords gun control group, was invited to MSNBC’s “Reidout” to speak with host Joy Reid as she bemoaned that she was afraid to leave her home on Independence Day for celebrations because “America’s awash in guns”...
