What’s the big deal about background checks?

Posted by F. Paul Valone on Monday, April 27, 2009 2:04:48 PM

Gun owners who have no objections to the Lautenberg ‘gun show” bill are operating on the flawed assumption the legislative process is honest. Any background check system can be turned into gun registration, and California and New York have already demonstrated that

Lautenberg gun show bill is greatest threat in Congress

Posted by F. Paul Valone on Thursday, April 23, 2009 11:33:52 AM

Exploiting the tenth anniversary of the Columbine tragedy, perennial gun control advocate Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) introduced his latest gun show bill.

Patriots’ Day and the Oath Keepers: ‘…against all enemies…'

On April 19, celebrate our constitutional republic via Patriots’ Day, when Lexington and Concord kicked off the American Revolution. Especially poignant is a group of military and law enforcement called the Oath Keepers, who will join the celebration at Lexington Green to reaffirm their oath to defend the Constitution against “all enemies, foreign and domestic…”

Armed self-defense & 'The Stopwatch of Death'

Posted by F. Paul Valone on Thursday, April 16, 2009 11:59:46 AM

20/20’s “If I only had a gun” treated viewers to a biased study promoting the notion armed citizens are incapable of stopping mass homicides. Having exposed 20/20’s fallacy of omnipotent killers, noting personality traits of such killers actually make them more vulnerable to armed defense,  we discuss advice 20/20 gave viewers unfortunate enough to find themselves facing active killers.

Myths of armed self-defense: ‘If I only had’…the truth

Posted by F. Paul Valone on Monday, April 13, 2009 6:19:09 PM
Aimed at undermining growing calls for arming concealed handgun permit-holders in schools and other allegedly “gun free” zones which attract active killers, ABC’s “20/20,” hit piece entitled “If I only had a gun” claimed that mere citizens are incapable of preventing mass murders like Virginia Tech. What “20/20” avoided mentioning is that the personality characteristics of active killers make them more vulnerable to armed intervention...

Repealing racist gun laws

Posted by F. Paul Valone on Thursday, April 09, 2009 3:06:17 PM
Repealing racist gun laws

A dirty little secret gun control advocates avoid mentioning is that many gun laws have racist origins. In southern states, some date to reconstruction and ensuing decades of racial unrest as whites passed “Jim Crow” laws. Purchase permit laws repealed in Missouri but still on the books in North Carolina are one example …

Self defense: What Castle Doctrine means to you

Posted by F. Paul Valone on Tuesday, April 07, 2009 12:31:53 PM
Sometimes called “Stand Your Ground” laws, Castle Doctrine reinforces the right of lawful citizens to protect against deadly attack. As North Carolina joins 28 states which have adopted or are considering similar such legislation, gun owners and concealed handgun permit-holders in all states should understand what protections the laws do and do not afford...

Mexicali lies on 'assault weapons:' The real agenda?
 
In an apparent application of “big lie” theory, media outlets continue to promulgate the now-discredited myth that “90%” of the weapons seized from Mexican drug gangs are smuggled from the U.S. Continued misstatements by the Associated Press and others suggest an agenda...
