Wyoming Says O.K. to armed teachers. :: 02/19/2014
While some have pointed to tragedies such as that of Sandy Hook and Aurora as reasons to disarm the populace, others recognize those moments as further reason to honor the Second Amendment. That is why lawmakers in the Wyoming Legislature voted 54 to 6 on February 13 to advance a bill that would permit individual school districts "to allow teachers and other school workers" with concealed carry permits to bring their guns on campus.
Connecticut Politicians are "shocked"- an ongoing story :: 02/19/2014
Earlier this month, I pointed to a 2011 Connecticut legislative report to make the point that anemic registration of "assault weapons" and high-capacity magazines under a particularly stupid new state law demonstrated that gun owners were continuing a long and proud tradition of defying restrictions on weapons ownership. Now lawmakers and journalists in the state acknowledge the same phenomenon, and the mass scofflawry it represents, and wonder just what corner they've backed themselves into.

30 rounds in .50 seconds? :: 02/17/2014
"After hearing State Senator Kevin De Leon talk about a .30 caliber magazine clip being fired in half a second (view the video HERE! ), Jerry Miculek had to put the California Democrat's fictional gun gear to the test. Disappointingly, the old pro was not able to produce the impressive rates of fire De Leon spoke about despite following the politician's suggested modifications."

Civil Disobedience in Connecticut, or strict adherence to the Constitution? :: 02/13/2014
"On Jan. 1, 2014, tens of thousands of defiant gun owners seemingly made the choice not to register their semi-automatic rifles with the state of Connecticut as required by a hastily-passed gun control law. By possessing unregistered so-called "assault rifles," they all technically became guilty of committing Class D felonies overnight.

FOAC Chair responds to NY Times :: 02/11/2014
Nocera, in the NY Times, invents his own statistics (sounds like CeaseFirePA) "It has been a year since my assistant, Jennifer Mascia , and I started publishing The Gun Report , an effort to use my blog to aggregate daily gun violence in America. Our methodology is pretty simple: We do a Google News search each weekday morning for the previous day's shootings and then list them. Most days, we have been finding between 20 and 30 shootings; on Mondays, when we also add the weekend's violence, the number is usually well over 100."

Live Not By Lies :: 02/09/2014
"Being human, politicians lie. Even in the best regimes. The distinguishing feature of totalitarian regimes however, is that they are built on words that the rulers know to be false, and on somehow constraining the people to speak and act as if the lies were true. Thus the people hold up the regime by partnering in its lies. Thus, when we use language that is "politically correct" - when we speak words acceptable to the regime even if unfaithful to reality - or when we don't call out politicians who lie to our faces, we take part in degrading America."

Is the NRA ignoring the threat to gun ownership posed by Immigration Reform? :: 02/06/2014
"Immigration reform will add over 8,000,000 anti-gun voters to the voting rolls," Gun Owners of America warned its members and supporters in a January 24 alert . "There may be as many as 11.5 million persons illegally in the United States.
