Op-Ed: The Arizona Shootings, Gun Violence Research and the Facts vs. The New York Times

by John Lott You know you're doing something right when two New York Times columnists, Gail Collins and Nicholas Kristof, attack your research on the same day.

The Tragedy Litmus Test – Another Failure of the Anti-Gun Culture

by Gerard Valentino The tragic events in Arizona are an unfortunate litmus test to see if the anti-gun community will truly use any tragedy for political gain. Based on the actions of the Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence, the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence and the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, it is clear the anti-gun community failed such a test in a horrible fashion.

by Chad D. Baus Within minutes of learning of the tragic mass murder in Tuscon, Arizona last Saturday, the establishment media began shooting from the hip on who they thought was to blame.
