By Larry Keane Monday night’s Iowa Democratic Caucus has gone off about as smoothly as a sheet of 24-grit sandpaper. Only 71 percent of results were initially reported nearly two days after the caucuses were held and there are still very few concrete answers, mostly questions remain. South Bend’s former Mayor Pete Buttigieg appears to be holding […]
By Dennis Petrocelli, MD Dr. Patrick Neustatter recently penned an op-ed for the Fredricksburg Star supporting typical “common sense” gun control legislation.

By CCRKBA Anti-gun billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety lobbying group will spend at least $60 million to support gun control candidates in 2020, leading the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms to declare “Last year he bought Virginia, now he’s trying to buy the United States.” “Virginia was a […]
Florida Senate Republicans under the authority of Bloomberg-financed Senate President Bill Galvano (R) have already voted once for a universal background check bill (SB 7028). It appears that there is now a coordinated effort in both the House and Senate to pass another gun-related bill. House Bill 183 introduced by Rep. Mel Ponder (R) and […]
