The following commentary is from one of my co-contributors to the American Free News Network–a website that does not censor, edit, or discourage opinions from anybody.

Today, I am turning my blog over to Mike Ford, founder of the American Free News Network, former U.S. Army Colonel, and US Military Academy graduate (class of 1980). Both of us are fed up with the misinformation and outright lies being told about rifles such as the AR-15 by …
