Image from kgun9.com The Tucson City Council has become a notorious scofflaw for ignoring state law that involves firearms. Arizona has a state preemption law, to prevent a confusing patchwork of local laws, which could easily entrap innocent people who exercise their Second Amendment rights.  The Tucson City Council has ignored the law. Arizona also requires that valuable firearms that come into the possession of the police must be sold to federal firearms dealers, so that the value will be used for the public good.  Tucson has been accused of destroying these valuable items, presumably to make some sort...

If you have been reading about defensive uses of firearms against bears, you have likely read that bear spray is more effective than firearms, and that a large percentage of people faced with bear attacks failed to disengage the safety.  Both are based on a highly flawed study. In a discussion at The Truth About Guns, a commenter, writing about the subject thought that a high percentage, maybe 20%, of defenders, failed to take off the safety.  The commenter did some research, found the study by Tom Smith and Stephen Herroro and others, and corrected the number to "8...

. . . then welched on her end of the deal when she thought it might look bad politically I guess this one falls under the highly overutilized heading of If-This-Was-Any-Other-Election-Year-This-Would-End-Her, but maybe there are some of you who still care about a candidate for president of the United States being this dirty. The upshot - and all of this comes via WikiLeaks (of course) from e-mails written personally by Huma Abedin, John Podesta and Robby Mook - is that Hillary took the initiative to personally approach the king of Morocco, offering to make a personal appearance at a special...

Run away faster than Usain Bolt If Hillary is elected President, she won’t have to face a press corps. At least, she won’t have to face one in the traditional sense. Hillary’s press corps will operate more like a Ministry of Propaganda. They’ll ask what they’re told to ask, repeat what they’re told to repeat, and God help them if they step out of line. That, after all, is the logical conclusion one must draw from the following video. It shows that Hillary is more than happy to chat with reporters - if they’re following the script that she prefers....

Attorney Josh Koskoff Judge Barbara Bellis struck down the lawsuit filed by attorney Josh Koskoff, representing some of the families of the victims of Adam Lanza's attack at the Sand Hook School in Connecticut. The lawsuit was fired against gun manufacturers. The Judge cited the PLCAA, Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, that forbids lawsuits of gun manufacturers, distributors, or sellers of lawful products that operate as they are designed to. The purposes of the PLCAA are to expressly to prevent this sort of lawsuit, so as to insure that citizens shall have access to such firearms. From...

If Donald Trump wants to win this election, there is one key that will unlock that door -- he needs to convince perhaps 5 per cent of the American voters who normally stay at home to vote for him. What is the available voter pool of non-voters? The results of the past ten elections show that, on the average 40 to 45 per cent of the eligible voters stay home. If we believe that there is some voter fraud leading to non-existent (dead, mostly) or duplicate votes then that could be even higher, nearly 50 per cent. Look at the...

Guam is currently leaning to the Democratic party in local elections and, if it were a state would be light blue on most maps. It is a fairly low income place with lots of welfare and the majority of people are Chamoro-Hispanic. I find this result somewhat surprising. Trump: 51.7 PIAPS 41.4 Though the totals may change

ObamaCare has had a disastrous effect on the health insurance market in this country, and it takes a hell of a lot of nerve for this guy to stand there and say it couldn't possibly have anything to do with him Sure, it’s classic Obama deflection. He could probably smear dog crap on the bottom of your shoe and somehow make the case that it was all because of Republicans. He is that brazen. But it’s also a classic case of something Obama shares with many other liberals - the utter failure to understand that when the government messes around...

Is it so hard to believe that the Obama/Clinton Machine anchored in Washington and Chicago would attempt to steal an election? As the weeks go by the wheels are coming off FBI Director Comey’s whitewash of Hillary. He gave a laundry list of her criminality ending in “our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.” Here’s the list that ended in no indictment, which included several previously undisclosed findings from the F.B.I.‘s investigation:

Actress-comedian Kathy Griffin has a message for Donald Trump... One of the scariest-looking, dumbest, most slavishly pandering women on the planet (Earth) made some lying, ugly, sensationalist remarks about Donald Trump: “Actress-comedian Kathy Griffin has a message for Donald Trump in a new mock campaign ad: ‘F*ck off.’”Breitbart.com Beautiful, right? Credible, right? And so worthwhile. The fact seems to be that this week—and probably well into the future—there is so much bullsh|t, crapp, lies, and insanity inundating the airwaves and websites of the world that they rival the prevalence of UFOs, ghosts, and time travelers on YouTube.

UNESCO’s resolution which denies a connection between the Jewish people and Jerusalem, is an embarrassing stain on the pages of UN history The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) executive board passed a resolution, entitled “Occupied Palestine,” which refers to Jerusalem’s holy sites only by their Islamic names. The resolution effectively denies the historical ties of the Jewish people to the Temple Mount, proving that this dysfunctional UN body is not grounded in any educational, scientific or cultural reality at all. UNESCO is being used by Islamists, who rammed through the admission of Palestine to UNESCO with full...

The disrespect for America shown by some NFL players has given Donald Trump supporters a chance to “vote early” and they are taking it. Another NFL week has passed and the boycott of viewers has actually picked up steam. By one account, available data shows a 30% drop in viewership for Monday night’s game between “Somebody and Who cares?” Naturally the leftists in sports writing are telling us it’s the bland product or the movement to appliances they can’t track that are causing the steep drop in viewership and “blah blah blah;” anything but the truth. Apparently, sports writers missed...

Sheriff David Clark was scheduled to speak at New Haven University.  He had been invited, and had accepted the invitation.  After the University considered the political ramifications, the person who invited him, Patrick Malloy, came up with a face saving excuse to revoke the invitation.  He said that Sheriff Clark made extravagant demands, such as requiring a "presidential suite" to speak at the event. Sheriff Clark produced emails that showed the arrangements and correspondence. The excuse was false. It compounded the lie with the injustice of smearing Sheriff Clark as being unreasonable and greedy. From the University of New Haven...

There are many toxic aspects of multiculturalism but one of the most wicked concerns the way it has brainwashed the majority of white people to be ashamed of their own race on some level. Even proud white patriots on the so-called alt-right who are strongly opposed to the relentless transformation of their nations have been infected by this brainwashing to some degree as you’ll now discover. It’s important to remember that multiculturalism is a deception created by Marxists to bring about the destruction of the capitalist West. It’s a concerted attack on Western civilization and has nothing to do with...

Though the Coach’s Team prefers to post only original pieces and those by staff writers, this article by Jared E. Petersen is important enough to warrant presentation to the greatest possible number of readers. The article was originally published on October, 20, 2016 on the American Thinker website. The Coach's Team is posting the article in its entirety. Courtesy of what should be an explosive WikiLeaks disclosure we finally know Hillary Clinton’s fondest dream: An America without borders. It was an amazing confession by Clinton to Brazilian bankers of what the Left desperately longs for but avoids saying in public....

A year ago, I was with Mike Vanderboegh at the NRA meeting in Nashville, Tennessee.  We grew closer, and worked on stories together.  I first saw Mike in person at the Restore the Constitution Rally on April 19th, 2010.  Mike passed on 10 August this year.  He was a committed Christian, so I hope he is fighting for us from the other side. Mike and I once prayed for assistance.  We got it. I feel compelled to tell this story.  I have not published it before. It happened while working on a story that Mike and David Codrea had...

hile many in media lament the fact that Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump has an occasional vulgar mouth, these shortsighted fifth columnists fail to consider the entire man. There is one aspect of his life that has been decidedly refined, and that is his architectural taste. In fact, >b>Trump is the consummate conservative when it comes to his developments; his is an explicit rejection of what we might find in an authoritarian or totalitarian regimes. The Washington Post, among the many other old media outlets, ran several screeds complaining about the renovations of Donald Trump’s International Hotel, which is the...

Hillary respects nothing. This morning, Democrats are frothing at the mouth about Trump’s refusal to pre-emptively accept the results of a possibly-close election that hasn’t happened yet. This, they argue, makes him a dangerous insurrectionist, and unfit for the White House. Some, like New York Magazine’s Jonathan Chait, have gone so far as to say Trump is actively working against American Democracy. Respect results? In 2002 Hillary Clinton argued Bush was ‘selected’ - not elected
