On the Second Amendment, Obama Budget Tells All

3:00pm Thursday, March 01, 2012
Barack Obama's careful effort to hide his anti-Second Amendment agenda is starting to come undone. The latest evidence is found in the budget he sent to Congress this past week. As we reported last fall, NRA was very successful in having a number of provisions included in the annual spending bills that are important protections for our rights. Obama grudgingly signed the Fiscal Year 2012 spending...

Fast & Furious was not a "botched" operation

3:00pm Tuesday, February 28, 2012
by Sean Maloney It's important that we clean up the vernacular being used by all involved when discussing Fast & Furious. Specifically, "Botched"; the botched investigation; the botched operation; botched attempt to track firearms that were permitted to "walk" into Mexico. There was nothing "botched" about this whole thing. We must stress the true purpose of Fast & Furious. It was a U.S.-...

End of an Error: Canadian gun registry to be dismantled

7:00am Monday, February 27, 2012
by Jim Shepherd It was a government boondoggle from the very beginning. It cost multiples of the budgeted funding, ran years behind in development, caused nothing but problems for law-abiding citizens and, as it has come to an inauspicious end, has failed to save even one life. Sounds like business-as-usual in Washington, doesn't it? Fortunately, this boondoggle wasn't "made in America" it was...

7:00am Wednesday, February 22, 2012
by Sean Maloney In recent days allegations have been made in a number of Internet publications that Speaker of the House John Boehner was somehow sabotaging the Fast and Furious probe. Any number of reasons were given for Speaker Boehner's opposition to the Oversight Committee investigation, all of which are false. When I first came across these allegations, I was confident they were not true. I...

Diminishing the Constitution

7:00am Tuesday, February 21, 2012
It is certainly no surprise for gun owners to see the New York Times run a story belittling the United States Constitution. After all, the Times has worked for decades to devalue our founding document. "[I]ts influence is waning," opines the Times . It is "terse and old, and it guarantees relatively few rights." The paper faults the Constitution for being difficult to amend and reflective of the...
