Op-Ed: Ron’s Revolution - Could Dr. Paul really surprise us all?

By Dave Kopel [Recently] I attended and spoke at the Second Amendment Foundation’s annual Gun Rights Policy Conference, which was held at a convention center in northern Kentucky, a few miles away from Cincinnati. What I saw and heard there changed my mind about the viability of Ron Paul’s presidential candidacy; Paul is going to far outperform the expectations laid out for him. First, for some...

Giuliani's latest try: Election year conversion on guns happened...6 years ago?

By Chad D. Baus Ever since he began campaigning for President, Rudy Giuliani has known that his past as a staunch gun control advocate would be at issue. The stumping began in earnest in 2007, and since then, Giuliani has tried on a number of different strategies to try and work his way past well-documented historical fact.

Op-Ed: D.C. Handgun Ban

By John R. Lott. Jr. FOXNews.com Is banning handguns a "reasonable regulation"? The District of Columbia certainly hopes that the Supreme Court thinks so. D.C. filed a brief last week asking the U.S. Supreme Court to let it keep its 1976 handgun ban, but how the city argued its case was what was most surprising. Instead of spending a lot of time arguing over what the constitution means, the city...

GOP finally has a pro-gun Presidential candiate among frontrunners

By Chad D. Baus The lack of a pro-gun Presidential candidate among the front-runners in either major political party has been a subject of much discussion in the pro-gun grassroots community for the past 8 months.
