August 23, 2020 Steve MacDonald

This Weeks Facebook Poll Question – Local Schools as Gun Free Zones

February 17, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The gun-grabbers love to whittle away your ability to carry. Require permission. Make that process more complicated and expensive. Make it inconvenient to carry so that you are first forced and then get used to not doing it. Maybe get someone busted for carrying in some location where they have made it “illegal.” Use the media to … Read more

What Is Likely To Happen With Gun Control Following The Midterms?

October 22, 2018 Op-Ed

By Sam Bocetta

2018 has been notable for many reasons in regards to the political landscape, but something very notable about this election cycle is how gun control has taken center stage to the point that it’s become a chief focal point of many campaigns for local, state, and Federal offices.
