Firearm Sales Continue to Climb in March

NEWTOWN, Conn. -- Firearm sales continued to surge across the country for the fifth straight month, extending a trend that began after the November elections. The increase also follows recent comments by several high-profile members of the Obama administration about re-imposing permanently and expanding the ban on modern sporting rifles.

Pelosi: 'We want registration'; Holder: 2A won't 'stand in the way'; SAF: 'Gloves are off'

Exposed: The lie behind Obama's gun ban campaign

By Tim Inwood During the Presidential campaign, Senator Barack Obama told gun owners we had nothing to fear from him. Most of us did not believe him. Now that he is President, his actions have shown we were right to doubt him. Since February, the true intent of the Obama administration has become very clear. They intend to ban self-loading firearms and high capacity magazines. Within a month of...

As Americans get to know the man they elected, guns & ammo grow scarce

By Chad D. Baus When Governor Ted Strickland (then a Congressman) took John Kerry goose hunting during the 2004 Presidential campaign, we recognized it for what it was - an obligatory photo op by a popular pro-gun Democrat to help a fellow anti-gun Democrat look less dangerous.

Barack Obama's misguided and mistaken gun policies

By Gerard Valentino Barack Obama's recent video message to Iran is widely seen as an attempt to create a dialogue between the two countries. Meanwhile, on the domestic front, he has all but shut down one of the most successful law enforcement programs in the country by putting up insurmountable administrative roadblocks to allowing Federal Flight Deck Officers from continuing to carry guns in...
