The Post Gazette reports that the National Rifle Association (NRA) is fighting against a city ordinance that requires gun owners to report lost or stolen firearms within 24 hours of noticing that they're...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mFbMhXxHkQ The Washington Post puts the number of gun owners rallying in the nation's capitol today at 2000. The official Second Amendment March assembled slightly more warm bodies than TTAG entertains on a daily...
