Why You Should Stockpile Ammo

What Are Red Flag Laws
When I was in college, one of best friends shot and killed herself. In the aftermath, I was told she showed signs of depression.

Why Universal Background Checks Don’t Work
“Most Americans support background checks, but they … have very little clue about what that means…” -David Kopel, Constitutional law professor Let’s get one thing straight. When you hear or read about the “gun show loophole,” you are reading a lie. Propaganda made up by those who want to take away your rights. First, let’s […]
Gun-Related Deaths Reach Highest Peak…Or Have They?
We’ve been seeing this headline off and on all year. It is alarming and not necessarily false. Recently it’s been making the rounds again in mainstream media—CNN, Fox News, Time magazine—stating that a CDC report finds that gun deaths in the U.S. are the highest they’ve been in 40 years.
