Today, April 11th, Walmart announced that it was folding half it its Chicago stores.  No doubt Walmart execs saw the Chicago mayor's race.  They have some pretty bright people at Walmart's corporate offices, but it doesn't take 20 years' experience and a MBA from Columbia Business School to know that…

April 19th is the anniversary of the start of the American Revolutionary War.  This year, it also marks the court date for what we hope will be the circuit court hearing on Guns Save Life's challenge to the FOID Act's constitutionality.  Yes, while everyone has been watching the dog and…

Los Angeles County residents can sleep so much safer this Easter with the knowledge that a rogue LA County Sheriff's Department Deputy was arrested and charged with felonies for possessing an AR-15 and some tracer-style ammunition.  No, it wasn't a full-auto gun.  It was simply a police patrol-type rifle.  America's…
