In fact, they're not all dead on target. First, the commonly accepted belief that the entire firearms category is going like the proverbial house on fire, with gun owners and speculators buying...

Recently, Buckeye Firearms Association's Dean Rieck wrote that Diane Sawyer had rigged a mass shooting experiment on 20/20 .

FLASH: 9th Circuit Court of Appeals Rules State and Local Governments Subject to Second Amendment

2:10pm Monday, April 20, 2009
In a bit of a Pyrrhic victory, the 9th Circuit today found that the Second Amendment applies to State and Local districts, joining the 5th Circuit which previously ruled similarly in the Emerson case. At the same time, the Court found that the city's ban of firearms on public property did not violate the Second Amendment. While gun owners might scratch their heads over this "logic", the important...

Media attention focused on firearms
