One on One with Senator David Vitter - 12/15/2007
For over a decade, gun-banners entrenched at the United Nations (UN) have continually leveled attacks against law-abiding Americans' sovereign right to bear arms. Though the NRA has thus far been successful in flanking these efforts, the UN's anti-gun agenda continues. Recently, a pro-gun ally in Congress, U.S. Senator David Vitter, R-La., introduced legislation that would financially paralyze any global organization intent on dismantling the Second Amendment, such as the UN. He recently spoke with Ginny Simone of NRANews.com about this legislation. More...

Political Report: Why Elections Matter--Wisconsin's Case in Point - 11/13/2007
We’ve often written in these pages that elections matter. But often, it’s too easy to look at that statement in the abstract--in terms of inside-the-Beltway political maneuvering and media spin. And that makes it too easy to forget that the outcome of elections affects the freedom--and the lives--of real Americans. This month, I’m going to tell you about one of those Americans. More...

Presidential Candidates Ask for NRA Support - 10/10/2007
By Frank Miniter The scene was common enough in American politics: 500 people seated in a ballroom at the Capital Hilton in Washington, D.C., television cameras glaring at a podium, and a full cast of 2008 presidential candidates set to speak. Only the event wasn’t common at all. The candidates came to a first-ever symposium where they would affirm their support for the Second Amendment of the Constitution before a crowd of National Rifle Association members. Just a few election cycles ago political pundits might have deemed the event poor presidential politics. More...

Political Report: The Tiahrt Amendment - 5/23/2007

Defending Our Schools - 1/11/2007
If you’ve watched any television news at all lately, you know that Americans need to do a better job of defending our children from killers in our schools. Not only is there a risk from lone sociopaths--student or adult--there is also the danger of a terrorist attack since, as the horrible crimes in Beslan, Russia, showed, al Qaeda and its allies know how to target schools and murder children.

Unleashed - 1/11/2007
20/20 hindsight: Looking back in retrospect, if you could have put armed air marshals on those four doomed 9/11 airliners, would you?
If you could have arrayed air-defense radars and rockets at Pearl Harbor, would you?
What if the White House had ignored Albert Einstein�s warnings--and America had finished second in the race for the atomic bomb?
American gun owners now face similar, fateful decisions: Readiness? Or apathy? More...
