He is the New Jersey Democrat whose legislation retroactively destroyed the right to legal gun ownership for anyone who was ever judged guilty of a domestic violence misdemeanor. This time, he wants to register all gun sales at gun shows in the U.S.!
The problem with registration [...]

Columbine brings out factually-challenged reporting and one-sided op-eds
April 20, 2009 | 3 Comments
It’s the tenth anniversary of the Columbine Massacre, so we should expect the Mainstream Media to do what they always do in terms of ramping up bias against guns and the people who own them. In my opinion, the Friday Edition of The Denver Post outdid itself, with one “news” story and two opinion pieces bashing [...]

It’s Columbine Season-Media Bias Reigns
April 13, 2009 | Leave a Comment
It’s that time of year again. On 04-12-09, the CBS “news” program, “60 Minutes,” aired a segment on the (Gasp!) increased number of gun purchases in the U.S. Of course, the “unbiased” “news” report managed to get in information about the Virginia Tech Massacre, recent police shootings, as well as the alleged link between U.S. [...]
