You asked how we did at the Peoria gun buyback. Never ones to disappoint, here's how our day went before we went to Bass Pro. Yes, the do-gooders in Peoria, Illinois offered $200 per gun in a gun buyback event on Saturday, November 19th. Scheduled to run from 10:00a to…
What happens when life hands you a crap sandwich and says "take a bite"? Sometimes good people can do everything right and still have to pull the trigger on a bad person with evil in their hearts. A year ago, such an incident happened in Will County, IL. Sheriff's deputies…

For many months, he lobbed all manner of defamatory, derogatory, and pejorative comments to stories at Guns Save…
