A recent Quinnipiac University poll found that 82 percent of Democratic respondents are in favor of banning semi-automatic weapons. The poll question did not elaborate what that would specifically mean, but at face value, it would ban a significant amount of legal firearms in the United States. But the media ignored this poll result and […]

Progressive activists and their allies in the mainstream media, including MSNBC host Al Sharpton, are framing the tragic Parkland, Fla. shooting debate around restricting access to legally-purchased guns. This ignores the elephant in the room: criminals obtaining weapons illegally. We can and should do more to keep guns away from mentally-ill people and those like […]

In CNN editor Chris Cillizza’s recent analysis, headlined, “1 number that explains the total madness of gun politics,” Cillizza pointed to a Quinnipiac poll figure to validate his point of how politicians aren’t doing enough on gun control.

Bump stocks have come under criticism after the Las Vegas shooting, where at least 58 people were killed and more than 500 people woundedby a lone gunman, because bump stocks make semi-automatic guns work more like automatic guns, which are banned under federal law. The NRA announced yesterday that it encourages regulations on bump stocks, which […]

Any time there is a gun tragedy, such as the attack in Las Vegas that left 59 dead and more than 500 wounded, a familiar script unfurls. Mainstream media and left-leaning politicians call for gun control; people on the right say it is too soon to talk about such issues, and the left says, “If […]

We might be becoming inured to the tragedy of mass shootings, but the breathtakingly thoughtless comments from the left and some in the mainstream media have not lost their power to shock.

The Left and pro-gun-control advocates tweeted and posted outrage, and rightfully so, after a lone gunman shot and killed at least 59 people and wounded more than 500 concert-goers in Las Vegas Sunday night.
