Gun Control: Education vs. Legislation

Posted on 01 December 2011

In this article I’m going to attempt to address my personal beliefs about the 2nd Amendment, but I’m going to do so from a particularly odd angle: I’m going to pretend that the 2nd Amendment never existed.

Disaster Weapons

Posted on 14 November 2011

Plenty of articles have been written about Bugout or Go-Bags so that necessary supplies are available in the event of an emergency, but I’ve found very little about the logic behind selecting certain weapons for crisis events.  Bear in mind that I’m not talking about police officers or soldiers… I’m talking about the average citizen [...]

Gun Ownership: A Measure of Freedom

Posted on 20 July 2011

In our most recent issue of New American Truth (the October issue) there is an article titled One Only. I THOUGHT I had titled it Only One but either way it’s all good. The article is a compilation of responses received from staff and friends in response to this question: If you could only take [...]
