Don’t Jail Parents for School Shootings – Arm Teachers

September 15, 2024 John R. Lott Jr.

Understandably, we want to blame someone besides the 14-year-old who murdered four people last week at Apalachee High School in Georgia. People are shocked and upset that the father taught the boy to shoot and hunt and bought the boy a rifle for Christmas. But that doesn’t mean it made any sense for police to … Read more

Defender Of The Second Amendment, But…

October 29, 2023 Ray Cardello

Second Amendment proponents, of which I am one, will say that gun rights and ownership are absolute. That there should be no infringement under any circumstances. These people will go to the mattresses (a mafia term for newbies) before they will yield on any changes to the Second Amendment.

Stop With The Gun Control, Do Your Job

July 7, 2023 Ray Cardello

It used to be a weekend event in Chicago where we counted the dead and wounded from gun shootings. Now it can be any day of the week, and it might be Philadelphia, Atlanta, or a small town like Naples, Maine.

On Mass Shootings

January 31, 2023 Aaron Penkacik

Mass shootings are tragic, as is almost any criminal shooting occurrence. Loss of innocent life is not reversible. Families, loved ones, and friends all suffer when they happen. Something does need to be done, and it should involve common sense.

My wife is from Columbus, Indiana which is a medium-sized town about forty-five minutes south of Indianapolis and approximately thirty miles from Greenwood, a southern Indianapolis suburb.

How Does Chicago Celebrate the 4th

July 6, 2022 Ray Cardello

The Fourth of July used to mean something in America. Independence Day used to be a sacred holiday that marked the birth of our great country. Brave citizens banded together and decided that they had tolerated enough of an overbearing ruler and took on the most powerful military in the world. England’s Infantry and Navy … Read more

There Was a Mass Shooting On Monday, So Why Don’t Democrats Care?

June 23, 2022 Op-Ed

There was another mass shooting in America on Monday, and the carnage was horrific. A total of nine people were shot, all of them were taken to nearby hospitals, and at least one person is dead: a 21-year-old college basketball player who, by all accounts, wasn’t just a terrific athlete but was also a genuinely good person.

Tragedy Politicking

May 29, 2022 Op-Ed

I don’t want to write this – not now. I’m angry, and I’m sad. What happened less than twenty-four hours ago in Texas hurts. All I want to do is abide by Romans 12:15 “…weep with those who weep.” Looking through the pictures of those children, and reading their names, I could hardly do otherwise. … Read more

Consequences Are Not Problems

May 26, 2022 Ian Underwood

Sadly, there has been another school shooting, this time in Texas. Also sadly, there are people who have been waiting around to use something like this as an excuse for dragging out every anti-gun measure that they haven’t been able to enact in the past.

Over 130 Killed in Nigeria in One Attack – Mostly Christians. What do You Mean You Didn’t Know?

March 18, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Mass killing is as old as human beings. Reporting-bias is just as old. As is the lesson that bais teaches. Take New Zealand. You’ll be hard pressed to find someone who hasn’t heard about how many died. But they do not know that at least 130 people were killed in an attack in Nigeria a few weeks ago.

One Year Ago: Remember Parkland Because It is How Government Gets Your Kids Killed

February 14, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The tragedy that would become the Parkland massacre happened a year ago today. It was preventable. The barriers to prevention were the result of incompetent government at multiple levels.

“the unique mayhem that gun violence afflicts upon this nation.”

September 26, 2018April 29, 2018 Steve MacDonald

In 2009 president Obama framed -gun violence in America as unique. That’s a liberal talking point to advance a gun-grabbing agenda meant to give the federal government a force-majority over its people. But taken out of that context it is true. Gun violence accounts for only a fraction of all violence in the United States. And when compared to the rest of the world is unique in that there’s a lot less of it on American soil.
