According to a study in the Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy, which cites the Centers for Disease Control, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and the United Nations International Study on Firearms Regulation, the more guns a nation has, the less criminal activity. In other words, more firearms, less crime, concludes the virtually unpublicized research report by attorney Don B. Kates and Dr. Gary Mauser. But the key is firearms in the hands of private citizens.

But if we do look for now at correlation, it seems to me that the key question should focus on state total homicide rates, or perhaps total intentional homicide plus accidental gun death rates.

 Years ago, I dismissed lasers. Real men trained and used sights, I thought. But I have recently undergone a fundamental change in opinion, and two of the weapons in my arsenal now sport lasers. This change comes mainly from two reasons: me getting a little older (my eyes may not be as good as they once were) and laser technology improving. Being naive, one of the reasons I did not like the idea of a laser is it gives away your position in a dark room. READ MORE

The lieutenant governor of the state with some of the strictest gun laws in the nation announced a voter initiative recently aiming to create even greater restrictions, including making California the only state to require on-the-spot background checks for ammunition sales.

Chapman University recently released its Survey of American Fears and revealed that more than twice as many Americans fear gun control than fear “mass shootings.” While those on the left may scratch their heads to wonder how this could be, the facts are that gun control leads to gun-free zones, which, in turn, appear to be very popular with mass shooters.

Concealed carry instructors encounter a number of new gun owners who believe that the simple act of possessing a gun will insure their survival in the event violent crime comes their way.
