USSA: Questions Emerge Over HSUS and the IRS Scandal

The ongoing IRS scandal that is hitting Washington has yet another twist with new questions surrounding the number one group on our Dirty Dozen List, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). The latest twist comes after the person at the heart of the IRS scandal, Lois Lerner, was found to have ties to this anti-hunting organization. Lerner is the Director of the IRS's tax-exempt...

Op-Ed: Bloomberg Uses Commencement Speech to Push Gun Control, Rails Against ‘Extremist’ NRA

by Alicia Powe America's most dangerous Mayor used his commencement address at Kenyon College in Ohio as a political opportunity to slam members of Congress for failing to pass background check legislation. "Have courage to act on your hopes, don't be paralyzed by your fears," Mayor Bloomberg told the graduating class. "Have the courage to think for yourself and to believe in your ideas. That...

The Gun Control Lie

by Jeff Knox Gun control advocates are compulsive liars. They have to be because the truth doesn't support their agenda. Even the names of gun control groups – suggesting "violence policy," "violence prevention," and "gun safety" – are all lies. And the term "gun control" itself is a lie.

The Terrorists Won in Boston

by Jeff Knox That demented, hate-filled terrorists could build bombs and detonate them in a crowded public place should not have come as news to anyone. That's what terrorists have been doing around the world for decades - centuries. That it could be done in the U.S. by people we had welcomed with open arms, should also have been no surprise. Islamist extremists have been promising, and...

Op-Ed: Accidents Don’t Happen

by C. D. Michel Teaching Americans gun safety is like teaching politicians how to lie. It comes naturally. Despite the National Rifle Association (NRA)’s high profile political activities, gun safety training and marksmanship comprise the overwhelming majority of its activities. Roughly 80% of its budget goes to these types of programs. Gun control organizations, recognizing a way to rebuild...

Letters of gratitude for Sen. Rob Portman's pro-gun votes pour in

by Chad D. Baus Last week I wrote about the intense media effort to force Sen. Rob Portman into changing his vote on gun control legislation in the Senate.
