Protesters inside the Tennessee State Capitol blamed the National Rifle Association and Speaker of the House Cameron Sexton for the death of six victims who were killed by a transgender shooter. Demonstrators gathered inside the Tennessee State Capitol on Thursday ahead of a vote to expel three Democrat State Representatives who disrupted the chamber while advocating for increased gun control measures. Democrats in the volunteer state have turned their attention to gun control after a transgender shooter targeted a Christian school, taking the lives of three young children and three adults. Though the shooter left behind a manifesto, it has...

Did you read it yet? This story is so flabbergasting, I'm going to walk you through it here to ensure you don't miss it. There's no clearer illustration of just how unreality-based and ignorant the Left is in this country.

NRA calls the shotsGun lobby's success comes at law enforcement's expense Sarasota-Herald Tribune2/23/2004 So what does the National Rifle Association get when it sets up shop in the Oval Office, as a top NRA official promised during the 2000 presidential campaign? Apparently, whatever it wants, from the White House and from Congress. While the NRA hasn't actually installed a desk next to the president's, the gun lobby is enjoying great success in Washington -- even when its proposals might aid criminals and criminally negligent dealers.

2nd Amendment "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed." Have you ever heard someone say gun control is a fine idea— except that the Second Amendment prohibits it? It’s a popular sentiment. Fortunately, it’s not true. The Second Amendment was never intended as a gun license for the entire American populace. As originally drafted—and as consistently interpreted by the courts for more than a century—the Amendment does not grant any blanket right to own a gun nor does it stand...

Various people have various ideas about what the country needs most. Seniors think it's prescription drug benefits; the young are for more liberal college loans. But our attorney general, John Ashcroft, has the most novel: He thinks what this country needs is more guns. Already there are 200 million guns in circulation within our borders. Does this number help to explain why we have between 20,000 and 30,000 gun deaths a year? Editors note: Omigosh! Guns are dying!! We must set up a trama center for the poor dying guns!!!! Do it for the DERRINGERS...... Ashcroft does not connect the...
