On Monday, Chicago police chased a trio of armed robbery suspects onto the University of Chicago campus. Instead of thanks from the students for removing three dangerous criminals, cops caught all manner of condemnation from the young skulls full of mush. In Chicago, no good deed goes unpunished. Three fleeing felons sped off from an […]
Our friends and colleagues in the mainstream media frequently get firearm technology and the laws that regulate them wrong. “Fully semi-automatic,” anyone? Surprisingly, we found an instance where they are actually (for the most part) right on the money regarding a story from the University of Central Florida.

We’ve noted that a number of Washington State’s sheriffs have announced that they won’t be enforcing the gun control measures enacted under I-1639.

A jury in Galesburg, IL found respected local farmer James Love (above) not guilty in the shooting death of Xavier Hartman. Love used a gun to defend himself against an aggressive, drunk 19-year-old body builder on that fateful night in 2018.

The first degree murder trial of James Love began Tuesday in Galesburg, IL. Love, a 59-year-old respected local farmer, claims he fired in self-defense. This, after a drunk, unarmed 19-year-old body-builder named Xavier Hartman allegedly attacked him following a roll-over accident near the farmer’s home.
