By Jeremy Steiner / Herald Forum Another day, another shooting. This phrase is said far too often in American life. Unfortunately, it will be repeated over and over again until we find the will and way to end it. On a recent Monday, at a small, private school in one of the safest neighborhoods in

On ABC’s This Week, co-moderator Jon Karl invited Justin Pearson, one of the expelled former Democrat Tennessee representatives on the program to let him play the victim because he was held accountable for his actions.

In four weeks of testimony, jurors in the “ComEd Four” bribery trial have heard from a top staffer to ex-House Speaker Michael Madigan, current and former legislators from Madigan’s Democratic caucus, and a ComEd executive at the center of an alleged plot to bribe the once-mighty speaker and help advance the utility’s agenda in Springfield.
When I was growing up in Tennessee, the state’s politics were–as was often said of Howard Baker, the centrist Senator who embodied them–like its namesake river: right down the middle. That era is long-vanished, as this week’s expulsion of two Democratic lawmakers from their seats made abundantly clear. But there was a glimmer of it

Last Sunday’s column about the lack of gun legislation got a lot of response. I’ve read everything, but I’m a slow correspondent who is gainfully employed. Giving every one of those messages the attention they deserve will take awhile. Earlier this week I had received 303 messages that supported what I had to say, and

When a transgender shooter on March 27 targeted a Christian school in Nashville and slaughtered six people, including three children, some in the media responded by disgustingly blaming conservatives and responsible gun-owners for the attack because they were “selfish” “monsters” who spread hate. What’s worse is that just a few weeks prior to the shooting,
If it seems at times that there is too much news coming at you, you are not alone. But some things have got to be faced. In a week that began with massive destructive and deadly storms sweeping the country, that saw a former president not just indicted but arrested on 34 felony counts, you
PREVIOUS VIDEO: WA Senate committee moves assault weapons ban forward OLYMPIA, Wash. – The Washington state Senate on Saturday approved an assault-weapons ban, a measure long sought by gun-control advocates.

After the recent shooting in Nashville that killed three children and three adults at a Christian school, we asked readers to weigh in on an earlier report that showed gun violence as a major cause of death among children. We asked how the trend can be reversed. Here are some of the responses: ‘We are
We’re pretty sure the Republican supermajority in the Tennessee House of Representatives had no idea that Thursday’s semi-successful effort to expel three Democratic lawmakers would get anything like the national attention it did. When they hold power, the comfortably bigoted have a hard time imagining anyone could possibly disagree with them, or pay attention to

Thoughts and prayers not enough to stop shootings Once again there is a school shooting. Once again the people who vote against sane gun laws offer their thoughts and prayers. Well, guess what? That is not enough. When the Founding Fathers gave citizens the right to bear arms they couldn’t have imagined the guns of
Your Second Amendment rights are under attack in Maryland. The anti-gun majority is fast-tracking their post-Bruen gun control bill, Senate Bill 1 (“SB 1”)/ House Bill 824 (“HB 824”), which imposes strict gun control measures in the state. The final votes for SB 1/HB 824 are coming soon, and we need to take immediate action to stop this bill from
Kendall P. Stanley | Community Columnist How apropos that a bill in Congress would name the AR-14 semi-automatic rifle the national gun, and not because it is the weapon of choice for mass shooters. It’s because we have to protect the Second Amendment! Yes, folks, our wonderful representatives of the people are more concerned with
