The Pro-Gun Rights Movement: The Tea Party before the Tea Party

3:00pm Monday, January 31, 2011
by Gerard Valentino Quite often when a pro-gun advocate brings up the gun issue, politically-astute friends roll their eyes and try to shut down debate. It could be because many gun owners are single-minded, or because some of the right, including many Republicans, realize they missed the boat on the issue. We can't forget, however, that the gun movement was the precursor to the Tea Party and to...

by John R. Lott Just 24 hours after the shooting in Tucson, politicians were calling for more gun control. And the drumbeat has continued. On Sunday, Sen.

7:00am Wednesday, January 19, 2011
