As much as gun control advocates might wish otherwise, their attacks are running out of ammo. With private firearm ownership at an all-time high and violent crime rates plunging, none of the scary scenarios they advanced have materialized. Abuse of responsibility by armed citizens is rare, while successful defensive interventions against assaults on their lives and property are relatively commonplace.

Disarming the Myths Promoted By the Gun Control Lobby

Man, you gotta love that headline!

"That tragic incident raised serious questions about background checks after it was determined that the accused shooter, having previously exhibited erratic behavior, legally purchased the weapon he “allegedly” used from a store."

Is it redundant to put allegedly in quotes? I think the purpose of the statement is to say, it is not certain where the gun was procured. It seems to imply that the facts uncertainty is speculative, therefor is true. If second amendment supporters can not clearly state what they mean, I am joining the Brady Campaign.

Good article. I didn't figure Forbes to be up on promoting things of this nature.
