Your conversation with your doctor is not private. An April 1 article in The Atlantic reveals what appears to be a newly re-energized effort by the medical community to stick its stethoscope where it doesn’t belong: In your gun safe. Headlined “The Doctor Will Ask About Your Gun Now,” the 1,793-word report by The Atlantic’s Nancy Walecki

Another firearms group ruled exempt from the ATF’s (illegal) pistol brace rule. The ATF can’t go after NRA members over guns with pistol braces on them. That’s the outcome of a preliminary injunction issued by a federal judge on Friday. US District Judge Sam A. Lindsay sided with the gun-rights group and enjoined the federal agency from

“In this case multiple assailants were assaulting a single woman who needed to shoot until she stopped the threat against her life. Would three rounds have been enough? I highly doubt it.” According to the Philadelphia police, the City of Brotherly Love saw major reductions in violent crime last year, with homicides down by 21% and non-fatal

“Whether Illinois’ categorical ban on millions of the most commonly owned firearms and ammunition magazines in the nation, including the AR-15 rifle, violates the Second Amendment.” “A gun rights group representing over two million members and activists has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to decide whether Illinois’ strict rifle ban is constitutional,” Fox News reports. “Gun

Crime causes chaos and fear. Makes people more controllable. That’s the plan. Should be obvious by now. Contrary to the arguments and false logic on the left, gun control fuels spikes in violent crime. The recent push by Canada to ban handguns is a telling case study, and voters and policymakers here in the U.S. would be

Operation Fast and Furious,’ a plan by the government to prevent illegal US weapons from entering Mexico, had the opposite effect: It boosted smuggling and violent crime. (Which was the plan all along.) It was Jan. 18, 2011, in Phoenix, Ariz., and Peter Forcelli, a special agent for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and

“The so-called ‘assault weapons’ ban bill is the most concerning, but they all have tragic consequences for law-abiding citizens. The ‘assault weapons’ bill is incredibly deceptive. They want to ban not only every kind of ‘scary’ gun like ARs and AKs, but also 80-90% of semi-automatic firearms popular today, including handguns and shotguns,” This bill
