Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan on Wednesday approved a number of measures to ease the requirements for firearm permits, as Israel copes with a wave of “lone wolf” terrorism. “In recent weeks many citizens have helped the Israel Police subdue terrorists who carried out attacks,” he said. “Citizens with firearms training are a multiplying force

There are 30,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms, and this number is not disputed. U.S. population 324,059,091 as of Wednesday, June 22, 2016. Do themath: 0.000000925% of the population dies from gun related actions each year. Statistically speaking, this is insignificant! What is never told, however, is a breakdown of those 30,000 deaths,

I wrote this response to an opinion article in the Jewish Journal of Los Angeles: The Second Amendment Does NOT Exist in a Vacuum, by Karen Kaskey. Ms. Kaskey displays her ignorance of American history and Jewish history in America. Her out-of-sequence argument regarding the Second Amendment could most charitably be described as an attorney’s

Governor Jerry Brown signed a new bill Saturday banning all guns on school campuses, even those allowed by school superintendents. That now reverses a Kingsburg Joint Union High School District board policy that was passed back in April. During that school board meeting, board members granted Superintendent Randy Morris the ability to select five employees

Very well stated article on the importance of armed civilians in Israel. Very interesting that it was published in Haaretz. The Haaretz editorial on Friday (“Arming civilians is no solution,” Oct. 9) is rife with errors about basic values, tendentious and inaccurate. The right of a person to defend himself from harm is an undisputed

“If we’re okay with someone getting a license to exercise their Second Amendment right, explain to me how that can’t be applied to other constitutional rights?” Oh, the irony. Thanks to Coop LoPresto for this link. A state lawmaker in Indiana has drafted a measure to require licenses for journalists akin to those that pertain

Barry Bahrami: “This is a demonstration how “The Great Equalizer” in the hands of law abiding citizens will save lives. It was only three years ago that Illinois began allowing law abiding citizens to carry concealed firearms, and that was only after a legal battle resulted in a federal court order that forced legislators to

A new poll conducted by NPR/Ipsos, a majority of Americans favor tightening restrictions on firearms, including a ban on “assault-style weapons,” following the mass shooting in Las Vegas that killed fifty-eight (the shooter’s death not included) and wounded hundreds. The support for such a ban runs to ninety-one percent among Democrats, while seven out of ten Republicans

House Democrats have introduced a number of new gun control measures in the wake of a deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas. Among the proposals are HR.3962 to ban online ammunition sales, H.R. 4025 requiring gun dealers to report the sale of two or more rifles to the same person in a five-day period, and HR. 4052, which would ban magazines

Obama flunky and top-ranking Democrat Dan Pfeiffer is tired of listening to Democrats give lip-service to the 2nd Amendment, when he knows that the party leadership actually believes the Amendment should be repealed. Pfeiffer took to the pages of the leftwing Crooked in order to make his case that the Democrats needed to stop pandering to pro-2nd Amendment
