The Federalist

Gun deaths are down. Gun crimes are down. And progressives still want to take your guns. To aid that purpose, and also because they think it will give Democrats a boost during election season, they are pushing legislation that would allow the Justice Department to forbid the sale or transfer of firearms to, they say, terrorists. Or maybe just to suspected terrorists. Or maybe to people on the federal no-fly list. Or maybe to all of these people. The Democrats have not been clear about just who would be prevented from purchasing firearms under the proposed law.

If the performance of these gunmaker stocks is any indication, President Barack Obama might be the greatest gun salesman in American history.

When we discussed it yesterday morning on Face the Nation, the exact content of President Obama’s speech last night was not clear. It was still possible it could represent a marked change in strategy on the part of the White House, given that a steady drumbeat of criticism from fellow Democrats had put their approach to dealing with ISIS in its weakest political positioning yet. The intelligence community has been increasingly clear that, contra the evidence in prior fudged reports, ISIS is not contained.

I have no idea what an editorial board meeting of The New York Times looks like, but I sometimes picture it as a gathering of the titular Dead Poets Society from the rather overrated 1989 Robin Williams movie: a bunch of mostly confused people discussing things they don’t really understand, all the while believing that they are doing something subversive.

The New York Times published an editorial on its front page for the first time since 1920. Entitled “End the Gun Epidemic in America,” its placement and strong language reflect the editors’ outrage over the recent mass shootings and their sense of urgency that something needs to be done.

Having overwhelmingly lost the public debate about whether the Obama administration’s Syrian refugee screening policy should be enhanced, Democrats have retreated to more comfortable rhetorical ground: demanding more gun control.

Monday, during a symposium on education reform hosted by The Waco Tribune, Baylor University President Ken Starr again said his Texas campus should remain free of guns.

Autumn is the worst season in Chicago, and I mean that only partly because it’s the season where it finally dawns on us residents that summer won’t last forever, and in a few short weeks we’ll be shoveling our body weight in snow and cursing ourselves for not developing a more sustainable alcohol tolerance when we had the chance.

An Atlanta news anchor nails it when explaining what the actual purpose of the Second Amendment is and why the Founding Fathers thought it was so important.

A new poll released by Gallup today shows that the National Rifle Association, or NRA, is more popular than Hillary Clinton or President Barack Obama.

A university campus isn’t one of the world’s most dangerous places. As a college professor’s wife, I’ve got nothing on army wives, police wives, or fishermen’s wives. Still, when I watch my husband head off to work, a dark thought occasionally flits through my mind. Is it possible his university will be the next to furnish a stage for some psychopathic loner’s macabre suicide fantasy? One never knows.

When Carly Fiorina offered some imprecise words about videos that uncovered the harvesting of body parts, she was subjected to weeks of semantic, nitpicky fact-checking that allowed Democrats and the media to portray her accurate characterization of Planned Parenthood’s practices as an outright “lie.”

Progressives are orgasming over a University of Texas-Austin event wherein students will bring dildos on campus to protest a new law permitting students to conceal carry handguns. They’re calling it #CocksNotGlocks and they’re very, very excited about it. In that way that young adults can be.

A student named Jessica Jin at the University of Texas in Austin is apparently so against campus carry – recently passed in Texas by Governor Greg Abbott – that Jessica has decided to protest it by putting a giant dildo on her backpack…for some reason. #CocksNotGlocks she calls the movement.

Last week, famed pediatric neurosurgeon and Republican presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson was asked by CNN about claims in his book about the Nazi policy of disarming Jews. Both in his book and during the CNN interview, Carson claimed that had the Jews not been forcibly disarmed by Hitler, the Nazi regime would not have so easily been able to implement its genocide of millions of Jews.

They already had sex earlier that day, but he wanted more. She didn’t want to do it again. The evening had been a disaster. Out drinking with friends—his friends. Bar hopping. Dancing. Tequila shots. He was in one of his moods, and the pot didn’t help. It all started with some guy flirting with her. He blamed her. He always blamed her. Now he wanted to mark his territory. She was his, and he had to prove it.

As a resident of Eugene, Oregon, I am heartbroken about the tragedy at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg and grieve for both the lives that were taken and how this will affect that community forever.

After every shooting, politicians and activists rush to the cameras or their keyboards to tell people exactly what should be done to stop mass shootings in the future. Gun control proponents demand more gun control. Gun rights advocates dig in their heels and explain why new laws won’t stop evil people from doing evil things, especially when current laws aren’t adequately enforced.

The latest attempt to politicize a shooting has Hillary Clinton promising to impose new gun control provisions by unilateral executive action.

If you enjoy shooting and teaching others to do the same, then you’ll love a new promotion from MagTech and AmmoToGo.com. As part of a new Ammo Ambassador program, experienced shooters who take a new shooter to the range this weekend can get 100 rounds of 9mm ammunition for free, courtesy of the two companies.
