There is growing evidence that some of America’s financial elite want to create a world in which America’s public policy decisions emanate from corporate boardrooms in Manhattan rather than from citizens and their elected officials.

The National Rifle Association praised Nebraska lawmakers for limiting what information about gun owners was accessible under the state’s public-records statutes. Sen.

Like it or hate it, the right to keep and bear arms is not going to be repealed.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The pro-gun group “Florida Carry” is requesting the Florida Senate pass emergency legislation to allow all public school teachers to bring their concealed firearms to the classrooms to use in their defense.
