Gun control regulations which make it difficult to quickly legally transfer firearms could hamper suicide prevention efforts, researchers at Johns Hopkins School of Public Health in Baltimore found. 

A newly-released study by the Urban Institute highlights a major effect of gun violence in inner cities: as gun violence increases, the number of businesses and jobs in an area decreases. It seems like a no-brainer. People don't want to go to areas where they're not safe, and business owners don't want the increased risk that accompanies locating in a high-crime neighborhood. Now there's a study to back up the intuition.

SACRAMENTO (November 12, 2016) - Today, Firearms Policy Foundation and its Director of Communications, Jennifer Van Laar, released the following statement:

Bloomberg-affiliated groups poured millions of dollars into an effort to pass an expanded background check initiative in Maine, but the voters saw through the propaganda and voted the measure down. 

California's Proposition 63, which contained a number of gun control measures, passed with 63% of the vote Tuesday. Sponsored by Lt. Gov Gavin Newsom (who's using it as a launching pad for his gubernatorial campaign), the proposition was backed by four billionaires and very few everyday Californians.

John R. Lott Jr., the author of “The War on Guns” and “More Guns, Less Crime," believes it's already too late for gun control, and that an armed citizenry is necessary. 

Hillary Clinton has spelled out what much of her gun control agenda will be if she is elected - and she hasn't toned down her rhetoric as the campaign comes to a close. That's what has changed, Newsweek claims, between 2012 and 2016. Advocating for stricter gun control laws isn't seen as the political liability it was in the past.

The astroturf gun control groups register under names like "Mainers for Responsible Gun Ownership" and use an "Aw-shucks, we're just trying to keep children safe and be sensible, responsible, and have common-sense policies" line to mask their true funding and agenda. In reality, they're Bloomberg-backed front groups. In total they're spending $25 million this year backing three state ballot initiatives, attempting to advance their state-by-state agenda to strip people of their Second Amendment rights.

Gun control groups such as Moms Demand, Newtown Action Alliance, and the Brady Campaign have been frustrated at the federal level by their inability to pass more restrictive gun control laws, and have turned much of their attention this election season to state ballot initiatives and local elections. But if Hillary Clinton is elected President, "there might be executive orders," as Sen. Russ Feingold said at a 2015 fundraiser, as a method of advancing an anti-Second Amendment agenda.

The August 31, 2016 teleconference between numerous sports writers and the men’s football head coaches for Southeastern Conference (SEC) universities should have been about, well, football. Maybe even the upcoming season opener, or how they’ve improved their respective teams over the off season.

Instead, the topic that made headlines was gun control and whether or not the coaches allowed their student-athlete players to own or carry guns.
