Clearly, anyone in favor of civilian AR ownership is 1) disturbed, 2) an NRA stooge, or 3) has a financial interest in arms sales. …here’s the thing. The AR-15 and its variants should be banned. Specifically, the country should return to a 1990s ban on so-called “assault weapons” that U.S. Congress let expire in 2004, […]
Bear with me. I find this series of letters to the editor interesting and couldn’t pick a single quote but instead chose to use them all. Whether or not a fourth letter appears is anyone’s guess. Dec. 16 — To the Editor: Let me start by thanking all the pro-assault rifle folks for coming to […]
Yes, guns don’t kill people, people kill people. But people with guns can kill more people and people with AR-15’s with 30-round clips can kill even more.

Mass shootings account for a minority of gun fatalities, but the use of assault weapons greatly increases the rates of death and injury as well as the severity […]
The Judge in the Latest 3D-Printed Gun Case Got 3D Printing Totally Wrong No. Really? . . . The law that supposedly prohibits the posting of the schematic is an export control law, the Arms Export Control Act, so nothing stops Wilson from distributing the schematic inside the United States. But posting the gun schematic online necessarily […]
My state of birth is Washington State. I was fortunate to grow up in a state with stunning mountains, plentiful pine trees, and more sunshine than one might expect. When I started shooting and hunting I discovered something else: Washington State had darn good laws relating to gun rights and awesome hunting opportunities. Fast forward […]

Well, he has to call for something doesn’t he? Something that pins at least part of the blame on Los Estados Unidos for the drug war that’s claiming tens of thousands of lives south of the border.
