Why opposition to gun control has increased over the last half-century
Washington Examiner, By MICHAEL BARONE | NOVEMBER 22, 2013 – Economist Bryan Caplan notes that support for gun control — specifically, banning handguns or pistols — has decreased dramatically since the 1950s and 1960s.

Wilson – 01/25/13: The Justice Department is taking the first steps toward carrying out President Obama’s executive actions on gun control.The proposed regulations would give local law-enforcement agencies access to the gun-sale database that is maintained by the FBI.

From RedState.com, By: Erick Erickson (Diary) | December 16th, 2012 –
On Friday in Connecticut, more than two dozen, mostly children, were gunned down in an act of evil.
