Wednesday, June 19th, 2013

Washington, D.C. – Tuesday, Congressman David Schweikert (R-AZ) along with Congressman Justin Amash (R-MI), introduced H.R. 2408, a bill to stop the Department of Justice from targeting, tracking, and cataloguing citizens in the southwest who purchase multiple rifles and shotguns.

For two years, the Department of Justice has been targeting gun owners in the southwest by tracking any purchase of rifles and shotguns along the southwest border. This DOJ scheme, called ‘Demand Letter 3’ and ...

Tuesday, June 18th, 2013

At last indication, the prosecutor appears to be going through with this!

The West Virginia eighth-grader who was suspended and arrested in late April after he refused to remove a t-shirt supporting the National Rifle Association appeared in court this week and was formally charged with obstructing an officer.

As CBS affiliate WTRF reports, 14-year-old Jared Marcum now faces a $500 fine and a maximum of one year in prison.

Action instructions from Janet Levy:

Jim Carrey’s Cold Dead Hand – A Rebuttal

Monday, June 17th, 2013

In this video from Reason TV, Remy takes on the walking, talking ball of raging hypocrisy that is Jim Carrey. From his positions on guns to his crusade against life-saving vaccines, Carrey is certainly what one would call a target-rich environment.

One thing that Remy missed was Carrey’s comments bashing white people, collectively, as a group. It wasn’t in his “Cold Dead Hands” video, though that has been deemed an assault on rural and southern whites. Rather, it was in a...

Phoenix Gun Buy-Up Scheme Examined


Wednesday, June 12th, 2013

Greg Stanton’s Publicity Stunt

First of two parts.
[The Arizona Republic has decided against running this story.]

To provide balance to the constant promotional drumbeat the media has supplied for the inaccurately named Phoenix gun buyback (you can’t buy back something you never owned), this two-part series will examine what’s really occurring in the mysteriously funded city-supported gun buy ups in Phoenix.

A handful of close associates saw an early version of this piece whil...

NICS Operations Stats Too Horrible to Believe

By Alan Korwin

The lamestream media told you:

Although 90% of Americans suddenly support something called “universal background checks,” which they had never heard of before, now that a madman killed little children in Connecticut, Congress has done nothing. The checks would have done nothing to save the children, a point on which everyone agrees. Dianne Feinstein’s bill to ban guns Americans already own, which she has been promotin...

Gun Background Checks: The Guilty Go Free and the Innocent Are Found Guilty

Background-Checked Fugitives Set Free, Constantly

Lack of prosecutions outrages Congress.

Lack of arrests outrages everyone (except the media, who are clueless).

Congress is 20 years behind the curve on this one.

Push for more of the same in Manchin-Toomey bill now questioned.

Do we want innocents surveyed or criminals apprehended?

Nothing. They missed this part of the story altogether. Actually, that’s not correct. They had it and suppressed ...

80% of Kids Die From Undisclosed Causes

Sunday, June 2nd, 2013

By Alan Korwin

The lamestream media told you:

Nearly one in five injury-related deaths in children and adolescents involve firearms, reports Liz Szabo, a reporter whose anti-gun stories are regular features in USA Today, a “news” paper with one of the worst anti-gun bias records in America. Thanks to First Amendment protection, they can spin stories and spew propaganda or anti-rights bigotry without any media control.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

The U.N. Is Preparing Global Gun Control

Saturday, June 1st, 2013

By Alan Korwin

The lamestream media told you:

Part I: The U.N. Arms Trade Treaty has collapsed in complete failure. (That was back in June 2012; that was a complete lie, a perfectly good draft treaty had been written and was a good first step, as these things go). You can read it in plain English: http://www.gunlaws.com/Page9Folder100up/PageNine-114.htm

Part II: The final negotiating conference on the U.N. Arms Trade Treaty has failed to produce a Treaty Text that achieved consensus approval to...

Associated Press CEO Gets His Own Medicine

Saturday, June 1st, 2013

By Alan Korwin

The lamestream media told you:

By PHILIP ELLIOTT — WASHINGTON (AP)- – The Associated Press’ president and chief executive says the government’s secret seizure of two months of reporters’ phone records has already had a chilling effect on newsgathering, a week after the subpoenas were revealed publicly.

In his first television interviews since the AP reported the Justice Department seizure, Gary Pruitt on Sunday said it has made sources less willing to...

A Few Glad Tidings

Saturday, May 25th, 2013

I don’t mind admitting I’m relieved that the Boston bombers were Muslims.  While I regret the murders and mutilations committed by the Chechen brothers, I admit I was worried that the mayhem had been perpetrated by native-born Americans.  That’s because I am so sick and tired of the politically correct crowd countering legitimate attacks on radical Islam by playing the moral equivalence game every chance they get.

You can bet that if they had been Americans, the liberal pinheads would ha...

Representative Brenda Barton (R-Dist. 6)

STATE CAPITOL, PHOENIX (April 30, 2013) – Late last night, Governor Jan Brewer provided advocates of responsible governance and Second Amendment rights with reason to celebrate.

Citizen gun owners: Law enforcement is on your side . . . overwhelmingly!

Wednesday, May 1st, 2013

In March, PoliceOne conducted “the most comprehensive survey ever of American law enforcement officers’ opinions” on the subject of gun control, and the results are stunning. Simply put, law enforcement officers are overwhelmingly of the belief that more gun laws will not help reduce crime, and than guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens will.

This was no small survey, either. Over 15,000 “verified law enforcement professionals” took part, and there were 28 question...

Texas V. Tyranny: Abbott Warns Obama

Sunday, April 28th, 2013

America is in a gunfight. The bad guy government wants to disarm the good guy citizens. The battle: tyranny versus freedom. The Obama government has started the bleeding-out of Constitutional rights and protections for all citizens through its ramped-up attacks and erosions of Constitutional amendments. On patrol at the Constitution’s perimeter are leaders like Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott, among others, who refuse to back down and bow to totalitarianism.

Few Americans are aware of the s...
