President Romney in 2012?: What Mitt Should Be Doing Now

12:10am Friday, June 20, 2008
By Chad D. Baus I've always been skeptical of election year conversions. When Auditor of State Betty Montgomery phoned to ask my support for a 2006 bid to regain the office of State Attorney General (she had held the office previously), I reminded her of the day she told Buckeye Firearms Association Chair Jim Irvine that she would “never be the candidate of the NRA,”[1] and of the evening she...

President Barack Obama - A Gun Owner's Worst Nightmare

12:05am Thursday, June 19, 2008
By Dean Rieck If you're not thrilled with the idea of having John McCain as the next President of the United States, you're not alone. He's angered gun owners with anti-gun statements and support for so-called "campaign finance reform," which has done little except limit free speech and curtail grassroots political activism. But would you prefer President Barack Obama? Obama is without doubt the...

What's wrong with fighting back over injustice?

12:05am Wednesday, June 11, 2008
By Karyl Cicanese Fremont News-Messenger Why is our country divided? Apart from political divides there is also a division in our thought process. We live in a time where the conventional way of thinking is to avoid conflict at all cost. If we are attacked by another country, the popular thing to do is to ask, what did WE do to provoke the attack? We train our employee's to surrender if they are...

Forgotten already? John McCain's 2004 vote for the Clinton Gun Ban

12:10am Tuesday, June 10, 2008
By Chad D. Baus I opposed the ban on so-called "assault weapons," which was first proposed after a California schoolyard shooting. - John McCain, NRA Annual Meetings, Louisville, KY, May 16, 2008 To understand just how insulting this statement was to the intelligence of every NRA member present at this year's Annual Meetings , take a short trip in a time machine with me, back to good ol' 2004...

12:05am Tuesday, June 10, 2008
June 6, 2008 NRA-ILA.org Once again confirming what we already know, a recent Harris poll (taken May 5,-May 12, 2008) found that, by a margin of more than two-to-one, U.S. adults believe that the Second Amendment to the Constitution guarantees an individual’s Right to Keep and Bear Arms. For regular readers of the Grassroots Alert, the findings come as no surprise. In fact, the Harris poll...

Op-ed: There's no evidence that banning guns cuts crime

12:05am Wednesday, June 04, 2008
By John Lott Jr. Philadelphia had 406 homicides in 2007, and, at 28 per 100,000 people, it also had the highest murder rate of any major city in the United States. No wonder Philadelphians want things changed. Recently, the city focused on a new tragedy, the murder of a 12 year police veteran and father of three, Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski, by three bank robbers with long, violent criminal records...

12:05am Friday, May 23, 2008
By Chad D. Baus From signing onto an amicus brief in support of the individual right to own firearms to attending the NRA Annual Meetings , Republican presidential nominee John McCain is doing everything he can to help America's gun owners forget his past decade of work opposing gun rights.
