Brady Campaign's slipping relevancy underscored by NRA convention

3:00pm Friday, May 28, 2010
by Alan Gottlieb and Dave Workman Adhering to a pattern of behavior that has developed over the years, a tiny contingent of gun prohibitionists paraded outside of the Charlotte Convention Center while the National Rifle Association was hosting its record-breaking members' meeting, but they remained only long enough to get some camera time with local news crews. Paul Helmke, president of the Brady...

Op-Ed: Kagan Bad on Guns

3:00pm Monday, May 24, 2010
by Brian Darling "President Obama's nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court," I wrote in HUMAN EVENTS on June 3, 2009, "owes the American people an explanation on her view of the 2nd Amendment." The nominee then was Sonia Sotomayor, who never provided an explanation. Now, with the choice of Solicitor General Elena Kagan, President Obama is two for two in selecting Supreme Court nominees with an...

Obama Supreme Court nominee was 'not sympathetic' as law clerk to gun-rights argument

7:00am Friday, May 14, 2010
By Chad D. Baus Bloomberg News is reporting that Elena Kagan, who was recently nominated by President Obama to the United States Supreme Court, said as a U.S. Supreme Court law clerk in 1987 that she was "not sympathetic" toward a man who contended that his constitutional rights were violated when he was convicted for carrying an unlicensed pistol.

Gun control laws fail to keep Time Square terror-bomber from purchasing a gun, yet oblivious Bloomberg demands more

7:00am Friday, May 07, 2010
By Chad D. Baus Judging by the events of the past week, it's a good thing for billionaire New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg that he uses taxpayer funds to hire others to carry guns for his protection ( even when he's visiting his mansion in the "no guns" country of Bermuda). If he carried a gun himself, he'd constantly be shooting himself in the foot. Take for example Bloomberg's reaction...

Civil rights and double standards: Gun owners are forced to "show papers," but media say illegal aliens shouldn't have to

7:00am Thursday, May 06, 2010
By Tim Inwood I've been watching with some interest the fallout over the new Arizona law dealing with illegal aliens. I hear the news media moaning that the new law "makes it a crime to be an illegal alien." I'm not joking, that is exactly how they phrased it on several networks and cable news shows. Wow, that is what I always thought illegal meant. I really wish the media would think about what...

REMINDER: Vote TODAY in the Buckeye State!

7:00am Tuesday, May 04, 2010
Tuesday, May 4 is Election Day in Ohio! Because voter turnout in primary elections is historically quite low, die-hard gun owners who Vote Freedom First are able to have an even bigger impact on election results. When one considers that the number of hunters, sportsmen, CHL-holders, NRA members, Buckeye Firearms Association donors and Second Amendment supporters in Ohio approaches 1 million...

7:00am Friday, April 30, 2010
By Jim Shepherd Senators Jon Tester and John McCain have introduced bipartisan legislation that would repeal most gun laws in the District of Columbia.

It also puts the bridle on...
