With this week's Navy Yard shooting, perhaps we can again push to have an adult discussion on gun control measures needed in our nation.

The Senate just voted 68-31 to move forward with debate on expanding background checks, a measure overwhelmingly supported by the public, including 91% of veterans in a new poll. Of course we still have people out there that think expanded background checks won’t help, like John Cornyn: Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), the second-ranking Senate Republican, […]

It has been 48 days since Adam Lanza went to Sandy Hook Elementary and engaged in a shooting spree that left 20 children shot dead. Since then a lot has been discussed about gun control and legislation is slowly starting to form. But there has been one question that has been plaguing me since that […]

That’s something you hear pro-gun nuts constantly say when trying to argue against tougher gun control. While it’s true that Chicago has some of the toughest gun laws in the country, it’s also true that guns are easy to get by traveling to near by cities without such laws. But there’s another angle to this […]

I have said it a hundred times before. It isn’t the pro-gun control people out there that will result in tighter regulations, it’s the pro-gun fanatics, who speak before the think. Here is the latest one of these fanatics: The CEO of a Tennessee company that specializes weapons and tactical training is threatening to “start […]

Bob Cesca points to this interview Chris Christie gave about gun control. Christie was asked about specific gun control measures, and instead talked about violent video games. “We don’t allow those games into our house…we think it desensitizes children to all the effects of violence,” and added that all of the issues related to gun […]

They are too idiotic to realize it, but it’s the pro-gun idiots out there that are pushing our nation to tougher firearms control. Take this story out of Salt Lake City: A 6th grade student brought an unloaded handgun to West Kearns Elementary School Monday. The 11-year-old boy told other students his parents encouraged him […]

We have been hearing so many ideas about what to do following the deadly rampage in Newtown, Connecticut last week. Ideas range from gun control to better handling of mental health. Good! This is the discussion we need to have. I want to tackle one part of this debate right now – gun control. I […]

Yesterday David Gregory said on Meet the Press that all 31 pro-gun rights senators refused to come on the show. On Friday, following the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, the NRA hid their Facebook page. Why are these people in hiding and not out defending what they believe in? Do they realize that they are only […]

As all of you, I too have been in total shock over what happened in Newtown, Connecticut yesterday. Hearing the horror of 26 people, including 20 children ages 5-10 being gunned down in cold blood is sickening. It makes it hard to be “proud” of our nation, especially considering how much this has happened. I […]
