Violent Crime Continues Decline (Even While Gun Ownership Increases)

12:10am Monday, December 28, 2009
By Bill Brassard Preliminary statistics released by the FBI for the first half of 2009 show that violent crime continues a downward trend that began in 2006. The figures show crime falling in all categories--robbery, aggravated assault, motor vehicle thefts, etc.--with murders down a remarkable 10 percent from the previous year.

OOPS: Associated Press publishes fair and balanced article on increase in gun-related officer deaths

12:05am Monday, December 28, 2009
By Chad D. Baus I don't know exactly how long Colleen Long has been employed by the Associated Press, but if the journalist publishes many more facts that expose the lies of the gun control movement, I expect she'll be visiting the unemployment lines very soon.

Gun control advocates seek to "tighten" gun laws

2:54pm Monday, December 21, 2009
By Gerard Valentino Over the last few months, the anti-gun movement, with help from the establishment media, has started a new attack campaign with their usual flair for the dramatic and lack of concern for the facts. Every article on gun-control during that time period mentioned that America has "loosened" regulations on buying, carrying, and owning guns over the last three decades. It is as if...
