by Jeff Knox On August 24, 2011, federal agents of the Fish and Wildlife Service raided offices and production facilities of the Gibson Guitar company.

Rugged Individualism Replaced by Australia’s Nanny State

3:00pm Tuesday, September 13, 2011
by Jeff Knox I've long been fascinated by Australia and its people. A visit to that country has been high on my bucket list since I was just a kid, but more and more as I read about present-day Australia I am disappointed and saddened. It seems that the days of rugged individualism and self-determination are gone from the land down under and the heroic characters of the past like Ned Kelly and...

Op-Ed: The Soft‑on‑Crime Roots of British Disorder

3:00pm Friday, September 09, 2011
by Joyce Lee Malcolm In a civilized society people would be allowed to defend themselves with guns, not baseball bats. As wild gangs of youths burned homes, shops and cars and severely beat anyone who tried to stop them last week, English people tried to defend themselves. Their desperation triggered a 5,000% increase in purchases of baseball bats from Amazon. This is a sad symbol of the failure...

3:00pm Tuesday, September 06, 2011
by Linda Walker Yes, I must confess, I am on the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence's email list. There, I said it! "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer." Sun Tzu, Chinese general & military strategist (ca. 500 BC) To my horror, amazement, shock and a wealth of other instantaneous emotions, I read the following email from the Brady Campaign that popped into my email inbox...

A look at the GOP's 2012 Presidential field from a gun rights perspective

7:00am Tuesday, September 06, 2011
by Chad D. Baus In 2008, there was much discussion about gun rights during the Republican Presidential primaries. Although there were a number of Republican candidates who had a strong pro-Second Amendment record, the party eventually settled on a candidate with an extremely spotty record on the Second Amendment (as well as other issues important to the conservative base). The end result was that...

by Chad D. Baus Jessica Heffner, a staff writer for The Middletown Journal , has used a provision in Ohio law to compile and publish a list of elected officials in the Buckeye State who have obtained concealed handgun licenses.

Where’s the media outrage over Fast and Furious?

3:00pm Wednesday, August 31, 2011
By Tim Inwood After discovering that a friend had no idea what I was talking about when mentioning "Operation Fast and Furious" and "Project Gunrunner," I find myself disgusted with the lousy job the press has done covering this major scandal.
