Firearms can and do save lives

Editor:The anti-gunner politicians along with the progressive liberal media are using scare tactics, and tragedies to demonize the firearm industry. The lame stream media has not and will not report positive gun news. ABC, CBS & NBC will not even accept advertising by the National... Continue
