Gun owners in Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District should give everything they can – whether that’s money, time, or word-of-mouth advertising – to make sure Brian Lentz goes down to stinging defeat this fall. Statements like this are part of the reason: “So they essentially get a ‘get-out-of-jail free’ card when they’re stopped carrying a loaded…
Did I get your attention? I figured that a title about campaign finance reform wouldn’t grab too many eyeballs. But telling people about the intended result of this “reform” probably would. I’ve been thinking about this post for a while now, but decided that Dave Kopel’s release of his June First Freedom article on the…
It’s easy for many to forget amid the picnics, cook outs, and start of summer parties that Memorial Day isn’t really about having a great time on a day off from work. Memorial Day is a day to remember and thank those brave men and women who gave their lives protecting our cherished freedoms. Make…
Now that YouTube is cemented in our internet culture, it is serving a new role in exposing candidates in one state to a broader audience. Lately, two commercials out of Alabama are shocking in how the profiled candidates wear their pro-gun views on their sleeves.

Many gun owners had their eyes on Harrisburg today when the House Judiciary Committee leadership forced three anti-gun bills up for a vote if they were going to be asked to vote on important self-defense reform through Castle Doctrine. Among the worst of the three gun bills, HB 1044 would have ended preemption in Pennsylvania….
The Democratic primary for Lt. Governor is one that gun owners should keep an eye on for the next few weeks. It’s still a nail biter, but poll results still show that State Rep. Scott Conklin has come out of no where as a late entry to the race to possibly topple the state party…
(cross posted from PAFOA) Tomorrow, the House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to vote on Castle Doctrine legislation – a move we’ve been waiting on since November 19 when they held a hearing! However, it comes at a price. In addition to the vote on the important self-defense reforms, the committee is planning to vote on…
Gun owners really hit some home runs last night in the 2010 Pennsylvania primary races. Some wins were completely unexpected, and others weren’t what we hoped other than keeping anti-gun leaders down. Here’s a run down of just a few stand out races we were watching for our Second Amendment rights: Lt. Governor – Democratic…
(Borrowed from PAFOA.) At last month’s Right to Keep and Bear Arms Rally, PAFOA not only embraced using Twitter and Facebook as a means of spreading news, but members used coordinated tags to have and track conversations about the events. Using the hashtag #2ARally, gun owners were able to label their live reports so folks…
While not all anti-gun politicians are from Philadelphia, the largest metro area in the state does seem to harbor the most gun control advocates. We’ve captured just a few of their calls for more gun bans, government control over your speech and gun purchases, and ending statewide preemption of gun laws. Take a look so…
During last weekend’s only debate between the Democratic candidates for US Senate, the issue of gun control was brought to the forefront early on in the event. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAGa8y2LlPI[/youtube] Topics include banning private sales, banning rifles, and registries. In fact, Joe Sestak won’t even concede that firearms may be used for self-defense lawfully. It is also…
As gun owners, we cannot sit out of the elections in 2010 just because it seems like the tide may turn in the favor of pro-gun candidates in the fall. President Obama’s political wing, Organizing for America (formerly Obama for America, called OFA), plans to target all of the new voters they registered in 2008…
