Gabby Giffords (Mrs. Mark Kelly) Expands the Definition of Hypocrisy

by Bob Adelmann | 5:05 pm, March 15, 2013

by Bob Adelmann I tried to minimize Mark Kelly’s hypocrisy in my article yesterday, preferring to focus attention on his ideologically absurd position on gun controls. I figured that his hypocrisy of purchasing an AR15 for himself (along with a semi-automatic pistol) while pushing for controls against such ownership by the rest of us had [...]

Colorado House Bill 1224: Magazine Ban Worse Than Advertised

by Jon Caldara | 2:37 pm, March 13, 2013

By now you’ve heard about the magazine ban that’s on its way to the Governor’s desk. But there is something about this bill, HB 13-1224, that you probably don’t know: It bans MOST normal magazines found in normal guns! Watch the video below as I demonstrate how Colorado’s magazine ban is way worse than advertised [...]

Statement on the Allegations Against David Kopel

by Jon Caldara | 3:14 pm, March 12, 2013

The controversy surrounding my Research Director, David Kopel, has grown to the point where I feel I must comment officially. Before I get to the allegations, let me say that I have known Dave for over two decades. I believe him to be a good man. Like all of us, he is not perfect. And [...]

Background Checks REALLY Do Work

by Bob Adelmann | 12:54 pm, March 12, 2013

by Bob Adelmann Far be it from me to disagree with such a worthy as Star Parker, a famed conservative journalist and activist (in a good sense) who often writes at Townhall.com. But her latest on how background checks don’t work, can’t work, and are a complete waste of time, is flat dead wrong. Background [...]

Disingenuous Colorado Democrats Claim Victory in Gun Wars

by Bob Adelmann | 7:35 pm, March 9, 2013

by Bob Adelmann When three Democrats said they were going to side with Republicans on two of the gun bills being debated in Denver, the Democrats pulled them, claiming victory. By pulling the bills that would have included a gun ban on campuses and another holding firearms owners liable for damages, Democrats claimed victory over [...]

by Jon Caldara | 4:29 pm, March 7, 2013

We took the liberty of planning your upcoming Friday night for you, so just go with it. First at 8:00 tune in to Colorado Public Television 12 and catch Independence Institute research director David Kopel on the public affairs show “Colorado Inside Out.” Then stay tuned at 8:30 for Devil’s Advocate as I am joined [...]

Evie Hudak Cited a Bad Statistic from a Biased, Fifteen-Year-Old Study. But it Gets Even Worse

by Eileen | 8:56 am, March 7, 2013

Evie Hudak’s ammunition in trying to shame a rape victim was a substantially incorrectly cited ‘fact’ from a study that is itself fifteen years old. Gosh, and to think we right-wing gun nuts are scared of all those powerful researchers and analysts supporting the lefties. The study in question is itself a fine example of [...]

Look Who Shot Herself in the Foot! (Hint, It’s Evie Hudak)

by Eileen | 12:52 am, March 7, 2013

The Denver Post dug up the numbers Evie Hudak was relying on when she made her atrocious criticism of a rape victim who was testifying before the legislature. In short, it’s a 15-year-old study and the actual statistic Hudak alluded to is nowhere to be found in the study. Because it apparently struck her as [...]

In Which Evie Hudak Likes Victims So Much That She Wants To Make More of Them

by Eileen | 5:44 pm, March 5, 2013

If the Colorado Democrats put their foot in their mouth one more time on gun rights, I am going to recommend mercy killing for the lot of them.  To be clear, we voters are the one who deserve a little mercy. Joe Salazar has largely gotten away with his characterization of women as histrionic little [...]

Rorschach Stupidity: “Shaped Like a Gun”

by T.L. James | 2:45 pm, March 2, 2013

If this is in any way an accurate description of what happened, the “educators” involved should not be teaching at or wardering administrating the school – or any school: Pop-Tart Pistol?: 7-Year-Old Gets Suspended for Gun-Shaped Pastry 7-Year-Old Joshua was suspended this morning from Park Elementary School in Brooklyn Park. Joshua says he was eating [...]
