A Vote for Fix NICS Is a Vote to Kill Concealed Carry Reciprocity

Gun Control / March 14, 2018

As we have detailed before, the “Take the Guns First” or Fix NICS legislation would result in gun bans for military veterans, seniors, people with outstanding traffic tickets or medical marijuana cards, and more. Usually, these illegitimate denials put the burden of proof on the innocent gun owner. Remember when President Trump recently stated he wants to “Take the guns first, go through due process second”? While he was talking about restraining orders, his statement demonstrates the problems with the FBI’s NICS background check system.

No Compromise—It’s Time to Take a Stand on Gun Control

Gun Control / March 12, 2018

Even as the nation was grieving the terrible loss of life in Parkland, Fla., gun control activists were doing what they do best: exploiting tragedy to advance their political agenda. Gun control activists are pushing a message that you are to blame for the criminal violence that took place last week. They’re attempting to capitalize on this tragedy to convince members of Congress to vote for their gun control wish list. Rather than address our broken mental health system, our inability to provide proper school security, or numerous failings by law enforcement and others to identify a clearly dangerous individual, their solution is to blame the NRA, and America’s 120 million law-abiding gun owners. America’s law-abiding gun owners have been and will remain a force for good, order, and safety in their communities.

Antigun Politicians Aim for America’s Most Popular Firearms with Expansive Ban

Gun Control / March 10, 2018

Hoping to capitalize on tragedy, ignorance, and hysteria, 174 opportunistic anti-gun Democrats—led by Rep. David N. Cicillinie (RI)—introduced legislation last week proposing perhaps the most sweeping gun ban in U.S. history. The bill, H.R. 5087, is dubbed the “Assault Weapons Ban of 2018.” Yet its scope is so vast, and its drafting so poorly executed, that that the only semiautomatic firearms it clearly doesn’t reach are those listed in an appendix of what the authors consider permissible guns (many of which will be unknown or unavailable to the average consumer, if they’re available at all).

Is the AR-15 an Assault Rifle?

Gun Control / February 26, 2018

The AR-15 is being dubbed the “weapon of choice” for mass shooters, and the act of terrorism in Orlando has renewed calls for an “assault weapons” ban, but by any definition of the term, the AR-15 is not an assault rifle. Another misconception is that the “AR” in AR-15 is an abbreviation for “assault rifle.” This is also a fabrication that is being perpetrated by the mainstream media and through social media.

What the Bible Says About Self-Defense

OK2A Events / February 23, 2018

During our Tulsa Chapter meeting on February 22, we had Pastor Bruce Delay from Heartland Church as a special quest speaker. He briefly discussed what the Bible says about self-defense and protecting our families. Pastor Bruce took us through the Scriptures and showed us that it is biblical to defend our God-given right to liberty. Our political beliefs and especially our personal views on the Second Amendment should be based on factual evidence and logic instead of emotions and fear. Can you defend your position?
