Gun buyback program turns a profit for Illinois police department

By Steve McGough | May 31, 2013 |

Certainly you’ve heard local police chiefs in many cities touting gun buyback programs as a great way to get guns off the street. Supposedly, that’s what it was all about, but things have changed for many communities including St. Charles, Ill., a town about 45 miles west of Chicago. They are now selling some guns…

Topic for tomorrow: 3D Printed Guns

By Steve McGough | May 6, 2013 |

On the big radio show tomorrow, one of Jim’s topics will be 3D printers and the ability to “print” a lower receiver for a rifle, as well as various sized magazines and even a pistol. Watch the documentary before the show!

Student Indoctrination: On 2nd Amendment, we must remain vigilant

By Steve McGough | April 9, 2013 |

The Bristol, Conn. Public School system has been called out for what can only be called gun-control indoctrination using old information pushing a specific political agenda. Luckily, parents took notice of the lies and propaganda, and Bristol’s superintendent of schools had the assignment withdrawn from the classroom.

Law Enforcement Survey: 90% do not support proposed gun-control legislation

By Steve McGough | April 8, 2013 |

We often hear from sheriffs (elected positions) and police chiefs (appointed by politicians) concerning their thoughts on “assault weapon” and “high-capacity” magazine bans, but we’re unable to hear from law enforcement officers not in leadership positions. A recent survey of more than 15,000 verified law enforcement professionals confirm what I’ve been hearing and what I’ve said for…

Correction Request: NBC just said you can buy guns online and at gun shows without a background check

By Steve McGough | April 8, 2013 |

I don’t have the video, but Matt Lauer from the Today Show was just interviewing an NBC talking head and the talking head inferred – again – that you can buy a gun at a gun show or online without a background check. This is an outright lie when it comes to online purchases, and…

Aurora theater shooting: A failure directly related to our mental health system

By Steve McGough | April 5, 2013 |

I was speaking to Jim the other day about the reluctance of people to “get involved” with the mental health of friends and family members. Honestly, I’m guilty. It’s not a stretch to be aware of a constant stream of strange attitudes, inappropriate comments, excessive drinking, depression, anti-social behavior and other “quirks” of someone we…

Obama gets to choose his own facts – Newtown shooter used “fully automatic” weapon

By Steve McGough | April 4, 2013 |

Of course it’s not just a weapon, more specifically it was a rifle, and only a semi-automatic rifle at that. But that does not stop President Obama from deliberately misleading everyone who listens to him by stating a “fully automatic weapon” was used in during the Newtown shooting. That’s an outright lie.

Three reasons for gun registration in Connecticut: Stigmatization, Confiscation and Revenue

By Steve McGough | April 2, 2013 |

Why registration? Why registration of “in common use” semi-automatic rifles? Why registration of magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds? There are three reasons the gun-control crowd in Connecticut wants registration … and none of them are to prevent crime or save children.

Background checks

By SoundOffSister | March 25, 2013 |

While the President and many in Congress are demanding federal legislation that will require background checks prior to purchasing a weapon, another piece of our government is insisting that background checks could be unlawful.

Detailed report of Newtown massacre will not change gun control agenda

By Steve McGough | March 22, 2013 |

Let’s accept reality here. Gun-control-supporting politicians don’t care about the details from Newtown, they just want to get rid of as many guns as possible since they hate guns and hate gun owners. They do this because that is how they are programmed … they must do something, even when the something they do does…
