by AWR Hawkins National Rifle Association memberships surged in the wake of the anti-NRA protests and “media bias” that followed the February 14 Florida school shooting. The Daily Mail reports that Google searches for “NRA membership” rose “4,900 percent” since the Florida attack. That rise occurred at a time when many Democrats, media personalities, and Hollywood celebrities were denouncing the NRA as causal in the shooting that took 17 lives in a gun-free zone. The Hollywood attitude was epitomized by writer-director Judd Apatow, actress Mia Farrow, and comedian Chelsea Handler, all of whom responded to the Florida school attack...

NSSF: Government Didn’t Give Us Our Rights, Can’t Put Age Restrictions on Them Either

by AWR Hawkins The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) issued a press release March 1 reminding Americans that government did not give us our rights and therefore is not in a position to regulate them via age restrictions. The release follows President Trump’s push to raise the minimum age for a rifle purchase from 18 years old to 21. NSSF stressed that the source of our rights is God, not government. We are “endowed by our Creator” not by our House, Senate, or President. Because this is so, our rights were “carefully safeguarded by our founding fathers” via the...

Donald Trump Could Be Pulling a Gun Control ‘Rope-a-Dope’

by AWR Hawkins As President Trump spent time stacking gun bill upon gun bill Wednesday, it was impossible to avoid thinking he might be setting up the Democrats via a gun control “rope-a-dope.” For those too young to remember, the “rope-a-dope” was a tactic invented and used by Muhammad Ali. It was a way he made his opponents believe he had no fight left in him so that they, in return, would punch wildly and wear themselves out. Ali would back up against the ropes, put up his guard, and let his opponent land blow after blow after blow....

He continued: You have to do something very decisive. Number one, you can take the guns away immediately from people that you can adjudge easily are mentally ill, like this guy. You know, the police saw...
