Federal prosecutors have accused President Donald Trump‘s former national security advisor Michael Flynn of making frivolous document production requests that are not actually related to his defense at all but are instead an attempt to fuel outrage by spreading conspiracy theories about the Russiagate investigation. And one of those theories was allegedly suggested by Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA). In a 41-page motion filed with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia on Tuesday, U.S. Attorney Jesse K. Liu and her top lieutenants Brandon Van Granck and Jocelyn Ballantine argued that Flynn’s recent request for potentially exculpatory evidence known...

The Brady Campaign has a report today commemorating 20 years of background checks for guns bought at licensed dealers. It says that the law stopped 2.1 million firearm purchases. "Countless lives have been saved, and crimes have been prevented thanks to the Brady law," it claims. If the law has indeed saved any lives, this is the wrong way to go about proving it. As I wrote previously: Actually blocking sales is not the point of background checks. In order for a sale to be blocked, a prohibited buyer needs to willingly fill out the paperwork for a gun purchase...

Dangerous Brady States July 19, 2008 at 3:14 am · The lamestream media told you: The Brady Center gun-control group has issued its list of the states with the best gun laws, and we give them prominent coverage of this each year without checking for accuracy, the net effect of their custom ratings, or what they consider the “best” gun laws to be. We’re just “finding truth and reporting it,” since the Bradys did say what we said they said. The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that: Barre Bollinger, a GeorgiaCarry.Org member, looked into the Brady Center’s state ratings. (A score...

Floridians are allowed to carry concealed weapons if they sit through a two-hour lecture and show an instructor they can handle a gun safely. Should a concealed-weapons permit be so easy to get? Yes. Very few people with concealed-weapons permits have been charged with gun-related crimes. No. People should not be allowed to carry guns unless they demonstrate a real need.

Attorney General John Ashcroft last year suggested shortening the time period that the government keeps records on people who try to purchase firearms from 90 days to no more than one business day. But doing that would mean that the FBI, which conducts the checks, won't be able to go back to...

Henry Lamb shows us how the federal government is propagandizing our children in the green religion of globalism. What's globalism? The 1965 version of the Merriam-Webster dictionary doesn't include the word globalism but it does include the word global. It refers to something being universal, or comprehensive. If you're like myself, I spend many hours reading and trying to comprehend what the global governance crowd is trying to say to say to us. Amidst all the ambiguous phrases and the language of doublespeak, some people have spoken plainly enough. USA Communist Party Chief Gus Hall stated, "...The battle will be...

Son of controversial Second Amendment defender faces felony gun charges MESA, Ariz. - Six months after preventing a road rage incident from escalating, what appears to be a politically motivated felony gun charge has been filed. Son of former Arizona Sheriff Richard Mack, also Richard, has been charged with a felony for brandishing a firearm in November 2001, even though he prevented an act of violence and defended himself against an attacker. Arizona is known as a "right to carry" state because anyone can carry a firearm. It is not necessary to conceal the firearm, and it does not matter...
