Is The NRA Right? Should We Have Armed Guards In Every School?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Probably not, but they deserve a lot of credit for suggesting a plausible solution to a problem. Gun control absolutely, unconditionally will not stop another Adam Lanza. In fact, some advocates of gun control are even publicly admitting that. That being said, the idea put forth most often on the Right since the shooting, arming […]

 

Obama Wants Americans To Do The Work On Gun Control

Posted on by William Teach

With most politicians, this would be a heartfelt speech on getting everyone involved to fix an issue. With Obama’s history, this is outsourcing the issue while ducking any work himself (Politico) President Obama urged Americans to keep pushing for efforts to combat gun violence, as he thanked hundreds of thousands of people for voicing their […]

 

Sheila Jackson Lee Calls on People to Turn in Their Guns

Posted on by Dave Blount

“Let us mourn with action,” growls leftist congresscritter Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), meaning, “Let us exploit rather than mourn.” She proposes: “I would personally just say to those who are listening, maybe you want to turn in your guns. Oh no, I’m not going to take your guns. But look at what Dick’s Sporting Goods […]

 

Chris Matthews: ‘Outlaw Semi-Automatic Weapons’

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

On the December 18 broadcast of his MSNBC show, Hardball, Chris Matthews gave us a perfect example of the outright ignorance about how firearms work that the left media exhibits on a daily basis. Matthews thought he had a brilliant point when he said we should “outlaw semi-automatic weapons.” In a discussion with a U.S. […]

 

Wounded Warrior Project Participates in Demonization of Firearms

Posted on by Dave Blount

Those who treasure our priceless Second Amendment liberties need to be very careful where we donate, lest we shoot ourselves in the foot. Anti-Constitutional moonbats can be found behind even the most seemingly benevolent enterprises, including the Wounded Warrior Project, as Tom Gresham of Gun Talk Radio reveals: We were disappointed when the Leslie Coleman, […]

Fast & Furious Gun Kills Mexican Beauty Queen

Posted on by Dave Blount

If only Obama, Holder, et al. had known in advance about Adam Lanza’s killing spree. They wouldn’t have attempted to use Fast & Furious to fabricate the anti-gun hysteria Sandy Hook coverage has created. Bodies are piling up in Mexico as planned, but they aren’t needed anymore. Since Obama’s fingerprints are on the guns, the […]

 

NY Times Really Loves Anti-Gun Letters

Posted on by William Teach

One has to love the hypocrisy of a big corporation which uses armed security guards being so anti-gun for everyone else. And they are apparently going to make sure they keep pushing the anti-gun meme, from the employees who write opinions to those writing letters. No opposing opinions are allowed in Liberal World Taking Steps […]

 

Leading From Behind: Obama Asks Cabinet For Gun Proposals

Posted on by William Teach

With most leaders, this would be a wise move: asking underlings for ideas. With Obama, it’s a way to appear as if he is Doing Something, and if the recommendations are too extreme, he can simply Blame Others and divorce himself from those recommendations (Washington Post) President Obama on Monday began the first serious push […]

 

Preventing Tragedy Outside The Box

Posted on by Robert Cleveland

As I watched the tragedy unfold in the news on Friday, I couldn’t help but think of my two daughters. The news was horrifying: a man had walked into a kindergarten class at a Connecticut elementary school, and opened fire. This monster had taken the lives of twenty children and several adults. Disgustingly, the political […]

 

Dereliction: A Constant Stream of Media Misinformation in Conn. Shooting

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

The Old Media establishment has done a disservice to an American public heartbroken over the murders at a Connecticut grade school by reporting untrue “facts” over and over again and by using emotionally tinged phrases that do not relay fact but instead push an agenda. Here are just a few of the badly garbled “facts” […]

 

Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste…Ever

Posted on by Michael Fell

While speaking at a Dec. 16 prayer vigil for victims of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, CT, Barack Obama, ever the divisive political creature with a burning transformative agenda, could not pass on the opportunity to politicize the event: “In the coming weeks, I’ll use whatever power this office holds to […]

 

Banning Handguns Produced More Gun Crime in Britain

Posted on by Dave Blount

Following the horrific massacre in Newtown, all liberals can agree that we need still more stringent gun control — something along the lines of what they have in hyper-statist Britain. Let’s see what effect once great Britain’s draconian authoritarianism has had. Here’s a report from 2009: The latest Government figures show that the total number […]

 

Liberman: “We Need To Look At This Culture Of Violence”

Posted on by William Teach

Retiring Senator Joe Lieberman makes a few good points (The Hill) Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) on Sunday called for a “national commission on violence,” in the wake of Friday’s shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. “I’m always reluctant about commissions, but I really believe we ought to have a national commission on violence,” […]

 

Which Gun Control Law Would Have Prevented the Sandy Hook Tragedy?

Posted on by John Hawkins

Moments after children died on the floor of Sandy Hook Elementary School, there were gun ghouls moving in to grotesquely exploit their deaths for political purposes. However, there’s a very basic question that hasn’t been answered: What gun control law would have prevented the gun control tragedy? * Adam Lanza didn’t acquire his guns through […]

 

Authoritarians Exploit the Newtown Dead

Posted on by Dave Blount

Left-wing journalists may have been first to exploit the shootings in Connecticut, but they have not been the most shameless. The statist politicians they enable were quick to follow suit. Rigor mortis had hardly set in before the lowest of the low began screeching for still more gun restrictions, despite the tragedy happening in gun-restrictive […]

 

NY Daily News: Ban All Killer Weapons Because We’re All To Blame

Posted on by William Teach

Never let it be said that Liberals won’t take advantage of each and every tragedy to push their political agenda (too bad they didn’t push to make communism criminal, as Stalin and Mao murdered tens of millions of people) Ban killer weapons and do it right now: The logic is simple: New laws will prevent […]

 

Rampage Shootings: It’s the Moral Decay of Society, not Guns

Posted on by Rachel Alexander

It should come as no surprise that the rate of mass shootings at schools and in other public places is: increasing. The surge has nothing to do with guns, which have been widely available in the U.S. for years. Gun control laws have been increasing. Instead, there is a direct correlation between the increase in violence […]

 

Carolyn McCarthy Tells Obama “Gloves Will Come Off” If He Fails To Act On Gun Control

Posted on by William Teach

Barely minutes had passed after the tragic mass murder occurred in a Connecticut school before Democrats around the country immediately jumped to proclaiming that gun control is needed now. Other than banning all “assault weapons” they’re a little short on details. What should be banned and/or controlled? Which guns? From which people? And here’s a […]

Liberals just can’t help themselves (Daily Caller) During halftime of NBC’s coverage of the Philadelphia Eagles versus the Dallas Cowboys, NBC Sports analyst Bob Costas made a plea for gun control during his weekly commentary on “Sunday Night Football.” Responding to the weekend murder-suicide by Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher, Costas relied on a […]

 

Surprise! NY Times Pushes Obama On Gun Control

Posted on by William Teach

This is what the NY Times editorial board runs with the day after Thanksgiving, cause it’s a super duper most important issue, unlike America being broke, facing the fiscal cliff, a stagnant economy, Iran, post-Sandy cleanup, housing still in the dumps, etc President Obama’s fleeting mention of the need for stronger gun controls at a […]

 

Univision Special Exposes More Gun Walking Programs

Posted on by William Teach

Yesterday I mentioned the Univision special on Operation Fast and Furious, an Obama era gun walking program that began on Halloween, 2009. The Bush era program, Wide Receiver, had been shut down when the ATF realized that the Mexican cartels were able to circumvent the trackers in the guns, and only lost about 400 guns. […]

 

Shouldn’t Jesse Jackson Jr. Have His Gun Rights Revoked by Ill. State Police?

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

We all know that Representative Jesse Jackson, Jr. is a huge anti-gun activist. It is also public knowledge in Illinois that he is a holder of an Illinois Firearms Owner ID (a FOID card). This state-issued ID that allows Illinois residents to legally purchase firearms and ammunition is supposed to be revoked for people that […]

 

Democrats Propose Law To Limit On-line Ammunition Purchases

Posted on by William Teach

While I think it might be a worthy goal to stop crazies like James Holmes from being able to make such a huge purchase, it also effectively hamstrings honest citizens. (CNN) Two Democratic lawmakers took on the hot-button political issue of gun control Monday, introducing legislation that would effectively ban online ammunition sales. Longtime gun […]

 

Boehner Dares Obama To Make Gun Control Recommendations

Posted on by William Teach

A double shot from the Washington Post this morning, which says that House leaders open to gun law debate ….The comments echoed the sentiments of lawmakers and the president’s own aides, who said this week that Obama is unlikely to push for new gun legislation because of strong opposition in Congress. But House Speaker John […]

 

Obama Brings Up Gun Control, Wants Others To Do The Work

Posted on by William Teach

We’ve learned many things about (NMP) Obama during his 3 1/2 years in office: one of them is that he loves to make pronouncements about something needing to be done, but he’s rarely willing to do the hard work himself, instead, outsourcing the job to others, whether they want to or not. Obviously, doing the […]

 

LA Times Cartoonist Capitalizes on Aurora Tragedy By Portraying NRA As Callous

Posted on by Matt Vespa

The Los Angeles Times has published an inane and irresponsible piece of political commentary about the recent mass shooting in Aurora, Colorado.

Posted on by Warner Todd Huston

In a July 21 column by the editorial board of the New York Daily News, there is fault assigned for the massacre in a Colorado theater.
