NRA hits high note with Annual Meetings attendees

12:10am Tuesday, May 19, 2009
By Jim Shepherd Cautiously optimistic might be an overly-conservative description of the throngs of people who pushed fire marshals to their very limits at the NRA's Annual Meetings this weekend in Phoenix.

Obama continues trend of appointing rabid gun-haters to important administration positions

12:10am Thursday, May 14, 2009
Another bright star has been added to President Barack Obama's anti-gun constellation. By Dave Kopel Obama's newly nominated "drug czar" is Seattle Police Chief Gil Kerlikowske. And just like a real czar, the drug czar, whose formal title is director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy, can destroy rights instantly, and he can set the stage for additional harm. Before the dark days of...
