Op-Ed: D.C. v. Heller Eyewitness Report — Analysis 1

12:10am Tuesday, March 25, 2008
By Alan Korwin It is a most dangerous game we’re playing here. The major “news” outlets seemed to agree with my assessment (and I went out on a limb with that, 12 hours before any of them), that the High Court seemed ready and willing to unequivocally affirm an individual right to keep and bear arms. [NOTE: see my pre-game and post-game eyewitness reports here: http://www.PageNine.org] But it...

Our Biggest Problem: Anti-gun Gun Owners

12:05am Tuesday, March 25, 2008
By Gerard Valentino The District of Columbia v. Heller case was argued before the United States Supreme Court just a few days ago. If the arguments were indicative of the final ruling, gun owners are in for the victory of our lifetime – or any lifetime. It will take months for the ruling to come down and as usual, different factions of gun owners are hoping for different outcomes. Self-defense...

Diligence Required (Angst Need not Apply)

12:10am Monday, March 24, 2008
By Gerard Valentino There is a great deal of angst in the pro-gun movement over the impending ascendancy of anti-gun politicians to the presidency. All three current presidential contenders have serious black marks on their gun resume. Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have long-standing ties to the anti-gun movement and want to reinstate the expired ban on semi-automatic rifles. Clinton has...

Op-Ed: Heller Case Goes Better Than Expected

12:10am Friday, March 21, 2008
By Alan Korwin The bottom line is, I think we’re going to be OK. When Justice Kennedy flat out said he believes in an individual right under the Second Amendment, there were no gasps in the hush of the High Court, but you could tell the greatest stellar array of gun-rights experts ever assembled, all there in that one room, breathed a sigh of relief — we had five votes to affirm the human and...

Legislators fail the Second Amendment when gun owners fail first

1:10am Thursday, March 20, 2008
By Gerard Valentino There can be little doubt that gun control debate in the United States is far from over. Even with Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton refusing to admit their continued willingness to kneel at the altar of gun control, there can be little doubt they will work to disarm honest Americans if elected. Everyone who takes the time to objectively investigate the gun control issue...

Why District of Columbia v. Heller should not have been necessary

1:05am Tuesday, March 18, 2008
By Tim Inwood On this day, March 18th, 2008, the eyes of those in this nation who are interested in issues of liberty will be carefully watching the United States Supreme Court wrestle with the meaning of the Second Amendment to the Constitution, and how it applies to the District of Columbia. This is rather sad, in my view. If the American people were properly taught history and understood the...

Will Democrats have a pro-gun Vice Presidential candidate?

1:10am Monday, March 17, 2008
By Brian S. Stewart Senator Joe Lieberman was the Democratic vice presidential candidate in 2000 - six years later they effectively kicked him out of the party as a heretic. In 2000, Al Gore ran one of the most anti-gun presidential campaigns in history en route to losing his home state of Tennessee, several swing states, and the presidency. Eight years later, one of the most vocal Second...
