Face it: they just don’t trust you….

By Dimsdale / March 5, 2013 /

All this renewed talk about gun control in the wake of the Newtown murders made me realize: the liberals just don’t trust you do to much of anything on your own. Consider, if you will, a few of the liberties the left has tried to, is trying, or has, wrested from you: School choice and/or…

Airline employee smuggles 153 guns through Atlanta to New York

By Steve McGough / December 23, 2014 /

Those arrested moved up to 20 or more guns at a time via Delta flights in the passenger cabin. There are a couple questions you should think about when reading this story. First, why are guns being smuggled to New York? (Hint, it has absolutely nothing to do with restrictive gun laws in New York.) Second, where…

Missouri taking back state’s rights on gun control

By Steve McGough / April 4, 2014 /

This is somewhat interesting step for states looking to take back powers not prescribed in the US Constitution from the federal government.

Big gun lobby dollars heading to Virginia governor’s race

By Steve McGough / October 23, 2013 /

Money will be pouring in from both sides of the gun debate as Terry McAuliffe (D) – former Democratic National Committee chairman tied closely with Bill and Hillary Clinton – takes on Republican Ken Cuccinelli and Libertarian Robert Sarvis for the governor’s seat in Virginia next month.

Calling out WTIC’s John Rowland on a 30-round magazine ban

By Steve McGough / January 9, 2013 /

The title of this post may sound a bit harsh, but I don’t mean it to be. I’m trying to ensure this post gets noticed and might result in a written response from the former Connecticut governor concerning his opinion on 30-round, and other high-capacity magazines for rifles and pistols.

New York: Four dead, four wounded by knife-wielding attacker

By Steve McGough / February 13, 2011 /

Another tragedy for the victims of a violent act. Maksim Gelman allegedly used a knife to first kill his stepfather, then drove to an ex-girlfriends house where he killed her mother and the ex-girlfriend. He went on to kill two more and wound at least four others. I realize it’s a cliché now, but why isn’t Mayor Bloomberg calling…

Brokaw still irrational: Afraid of walking into Arizona bars

By Steve McGough / January 14, 2011 /

It’s not like I thought he would eventually become rational or anything. Tom Brokaw is not comfortable walking into an Arizona bar on a Saturday night since the state allows their law-abiding citizens to carry a pistol for self-defense. He states the system is “wide open.” That’s a total lie.

Good News: Firearm dealers removed from FDIC “high risk” category

By Steve McGough / July 29, 2014 /

This was one of the Obama administration’s attacks on the firearm industry bypassing the normal legislative process. In-other-words, President Obama used his phone and pen to tell the Federal Insurance Deposit Corporation (FDIC) to put firearm dealers on a list of “high risk” businesses banks should avoid. Banking is heavily regulated by the federal government, and…

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.

Norwich police fired 41 shots – suspect hit six times for a 15% hit rate

By Steve McGough / March 7, 2013 /

When Norwich, Conn. police officers responded to a man-with-a-gun call in late February, they unfortunately had to use lethal force to stop a disturbed man. 41 shots. Six hits. A 15% hit rate. When the Connecticut lawmakers suggest a 10-round magazine limit, that equates to having one or two opportunities to stop a threat. Then, you’re SOL.
