Op-Ed: After Tucson, Stricter Gun Laws Aren't the Answer

3:00pm Tuesday, February 01, 2011
by Dan Baum It's tempting, after a hideous event like the shooting in Tucson, to want to "do something" about gun violence. But let's pause to consider what that something could be, and what price we might pay for doing it. Much has been made of Arizona's notoriously lax gun laws. But Arizona law was irrelevant to Jared Loughner's purchasing the gun. The background check is federal, and he passed...

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...

7:00am Monday, January 31, 2011
by Jim Shepherd Last week, the ATF released a study regarding the importability of certain shotguns.

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.

Report: Obama to give presidential address on gun control

7:00am Thursday, January 27, 2011
President Obama did not, as gun control extremists hoped he would, take the opportunity of a State of the Union address so closely following the attempted assassination of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords in Arizona to push the issue of gun control. Following the State of the Union address, MSNBC's Chris Matthews broke the news that Obama is planning a special address on the issue in the near...

3:00pm Monday, January 24, 2011
Extremist environmental groups often get their legal fees reimbursed by the federal government under the Equal Justice Act. By David Hart How would you like to make a donation to the anti-hunting movement? You wouldn’t, of course, but like it or not, you already have. In 2007, for example, $280,000 of your tax dollars went directly to the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS)—the nation’s...

Urban editorial boards argue 2nd Amendment should be applied differently depending on where one lives, so what about the 1st?

7:00am Monday, January 24, 2011
by Gerard Valentino & Ken Hanson On December 29, 2010, the Ohio Supreme Court once again upheld statewide preemption of gun laws, in essence knocking Ohio's cities out of the gun control business.
