9:24pm Wednesday, August 01, 2012
by Dean Rieck By now you have undoubtedly heard that the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty is dead , for the time being at least. Many Second Amendment supporters can share credit for this victory, from the NRA who have been battling this liberty-threatening travesty for years down to individual gun owners who have been making calls to legislators. Some of the most effective opposition came from Ohio's own...

by Dick Morris On February 12, 2007, a lone gunman, Sulejman Talovic opened fire at the crowded Trolley Square shopping mall killing five bystanders.

One For the History Books

7:00am Wednesday, August 01, 2012
by Jim Shepherd The birds on the South Carolina marsh had to think I'd lost my mind yesterday morning. After quietly watching them do the things that birds do for over an hour, I suddenly jumped away from my camera, did a fist pump, and whooped like a madman. Twitter feeds had confirmed the results of an Olympic event I was too nervous to watch online: Kim Rhode had achieved her goal of becoming...

Op-Ed: New gun laws will do nothing to stop mass shooting attacks

3:01pm Tuesday, July 31, 2012
by John Lott In the wake of the Colorado tragedy, Democrats in Congress have wasted no time introducing new gun control legislation. Today, Sen. Frank Lautenberg and Rep.

U.N. ATT Conference Comes to an Impasse The Conference on the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (U.N. ATT) has broken down and will not report a draft treaty to the member nations. This is a big victory for American gun owners, and the NRA is being widely credited for killing the U.N. ATT. For nearly 20 years, the NRA has worked tirelessly to warn American gun owners about the United Nations’...

The U.N.’s Latest Attack on Liberty Arms Trade Treaty promises U.S. harm

3:00pm Friday, July 27, 2012
by Jeff Knox I have to admit that I was skeptical about the U.N. ever getting their act together enough to construct an Arms Trade Treaty that they could all agree on, but I underestimated the level of cooperation attainable by that body when their target is liberty.

by Chad D. Baus and Jim Irvine Ask any politically-minded gun owner who stays abreast of current events why they believe Barack Obama is anti-gun, and they will quickly respond with a litany of reasons, dating from his days in Illinois as a state senator and Joyce Foundation board member, as well as his days in the U.S. Senate.
