Questioning “No Questions Asked” - Are Gun-Surrender Gimmicks Legal?

7:00am Monday, August 29, 2011
by Jeff Knox For decades we've heard about gun turn-ins – "Gun Buy-Back" programs sponsored by churches, civic groups, and various other misinformed do-gooder organizations. The very name – buy-back – implies that guns belong not to individuals, but to the government, or at least to the people who don't like guns.

ATF Rewards Agents Who Ran "Fast and Furious" and Then Helped Cover It Up

3:00pm Friday, August 26, 2011
In what can only be described as "Washington D.C. logic," the three BATFE agents who were responsible for the "Fast and Furious" debacle in Phoenix have been promoted. You read that right, promoted!

London and other UK cities look like war zones and their citizens are afraid to venture out, because the danger is very real. It's a view of the temporary breakdown of society.
