No Bullets, No Shooting!
  04/23/08 - All gun owners are familiar with the 17th century maxim, "Keep your powder dry.” But if we expect to be gun owners in the 21st century, we have to update that to read, “Keep your powder—and all the rest of your ammunition—at all.” That’s because politicians who want to ban guns, but who don’t have the votes in Congress and state legislatures, are trying to achieve the same effect by banning the manufacture, importation, sale and possession of as much ammunition as possible, and severely restricting the rest.

Obama Mentor Ted Kennedy’s Anti-Gun Career
  04/03/08 - The man who has cast more anti-gun votes than any other lawmaker in U.S. history has endorsed a candidate for president. On Jan. 28, Sen. Ted Kennedy formally, and to great fanfare, bestowed his political blessing on Sen. Barack Obama.

Mike`s March To The Sea (interrupted)
  02/27/08 - New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s agents marched across neighboring states with their questionable “sting” tactics, burning legitimate gun dealers as they went. Now, some of those law-abiding gun dealers have filed suit against the gun-banning mayor. Can they really afford to fight city hall--and its resident billionaire?
