By Jim Irvine I've had the pleasure of hearing Emily Miller address groups to tell her story of becoming a D.C. gun owner several times. Emily is a delightful person, has an interesting story to tell and does a great job telling it. She has won numerous awards for her series, "Emily Gets her Gun" which appeared in the Washington Times . Her book, by the same title, details her journey from an...

CNN Poll: Fading support for stricter gun control exposes reason why extremists move immediately to exploit tragedy

7:00am Monday, December 16, 2013
by Chad D. Baus CNN reported recently that "as memories fade from last December's horrific school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, a new national poll indicates that support for stricter gun control laws appears to be fading, too." While CNN's premise that only a fading memory can explain the decline in support for gun control is bogus, the findings are none-the-less encouraging. From the...

Obama and Bloomberg Use December 14 to Promote Gun Control

3:00pm Friday, December 13, 2013
Google "Organizing for Action" (OFA), supposedly a non-partisan, grassroots group, and you get www.barackobama.com . Likewise, click on the preceding link, and it takes you to the Organizing for Action website.

by Kelsey Osterman
3:00pm Friday, December 06, 2013
By now, you've heard the stories: Florida boy suspended for pointing his finger like a gun. Rhode Island student suspended for bringing quarter-sized gun keychain to class. West Virginia middle schooler arrested for wearing a National Rifle Association t-shirt. Coast-to-coast, it seems our nation's schools have grown so gun-shy that every implementation of a "zero tolerance" policy entails a...

An Example of Why the Administration Wants More Gun Control "Research"

7:00am Friday, December 06, 2013
If anyone was still wondering why Congress prohibited the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from using tax dollars to fund gun control advocacy research, and why the White House has called for $10 million in new funding for such research to help the administration "transform" the country's gun laws, the authors of a recent "study" that characterizes gun-owning whites as racists have bent...
