Battle lines are drawn. The National Rifle Association is the target du jour of the litany of Democrat presidential candidates, vying for the boldest denouncement of the millions of armed, peaceful and law-abiding citizens in America.

I am a disabled veteran who was forced into early retirement for health reasons. I live on a street with no curbs, no sidewalks and no fire hydrant. The street that leads to my street has no hydrant. There is no Northern Utilities gas pipe on either of these streets. I do not now, nor […]
