Violent crime continued to fall in 2009, even as gun sales reached an all-time high, according to statistics from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Is the NRA waking up to the unintended consequences of supporting ‘gun rights’ Democrats? I belong to the NRA but considered dropping membership when stories began to appear about the NRA supporting Harry Reid. I do not support the NRA’s PAC, the NRA Institute for Legislative.

Kitty Werthmann grew up in Austria, coming of age during the rule of Adolf Hitler. Austrians, she says, caught up in a nationwide economic crisis and civil unrest didn’t welcome a dictator outright, but allowed one to take over their nation little by little, step by step. Kitty shares how Austrians were lulled into accepting the rule of the Third Reich. It’s a story that shouldn’t be lost on today’s American citizens.

The National Rifle Association is opposing Elena Kagan’s nomination to the Supreme Court and warning senators that it will take their votes into account when considering endorsing their re-election. But they opposed Sotomayor also.

by Ken Klukowski – Kagan wrote to Justice Marshall that, “I’m not sympathetic” to his belief that the Second Amendment is an individual right. When the McDonald case was argued before the Supreme Court, Solicitor General Kagan refused to file a brief either way to express the opinion of the United States government on this monumentally-important case.

By Sen. Tom Coburn The McDonald decision was so close because a near majority on the Court, and many in government, consider the Constitution to be merely a guiding document instead of binding force that limits the power of the government over the individual. The problem is not merely that many on the Court, in Congress and the administration act as if they are above the law. Rather they are acting as if they are the law. In their view, the rule of law is not a constant but dependent on who is in power – a phenomenon our founders would have called a “tyranny of the majority.”
