by Chad D. Baus News of the (failed) push to pass gun control legislation in the U.S. Senate, as well as the terror attack on Boston, dominated the media last week for good reason.

I won't take your handgun away," President Barack Obama has said. "There's no way Uncle Sam can go find out whether you have a gun," Vice President Joe Biden said. Tell that to David Lewis, 35, of Erie...

Chechen terrorists in Boston expose the fallacy of gun control laws

7:00am Wednesday, April 24, 2013
