 INFOWARS.COM 9 Hours Ago Ill. Law Would Heavily Restrict Possession of Firearms Outside Home Awr Hawkins Breitbart  October 18, 2013 In a bid to fight against criminal and gang possession of firearms on the street, Illinois state rep. Mike Zalewski (D-21st Dist.) is set to propose legislation that essentially labels all firearm possession outside the home illegal. This measure — HB 2265 — does not differentiate between possession by law-abiding citizens and possession by criminals or gang members. And the NRA warns that this creates a situation where a law-abiding citizen who has a gun in his or her car for self-defense—but no concealed carry permit or Firearm Owner Identification Card (FOID)—could "face serious penalties for an innocuous mistake."

According to the South Carolina Policy Council (SCPC), an independent, private, non-partisan, non-profit research organization, there is a direct correlation between federal "grants" and gun control legislation. The SCPC points out that the only "gun" legislation to pass in South Carolina this year was a bill that restricts gun possession from those deemed to be "mental defectives" and requires that the State Law Enforcement Division (SLED) report these people to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). This is a real danger to returning veterans diagnosed with PTSD. It could even catch those who have a little trouble balancing their check book, since the law includes as a "mental defective" someone ...

Friday, October 18th ObamaCare: We're Beyond “Glitches” ObamaCare is a disaster that is owned by Barack Obama and the Democrats. Anyone who tries to tell you that it is great isn't fooling anyone. These are people like Nancy Pelosi who glosses over the technical failures of these exchanges and wants Americans to focus on “the liberation of people” to live “a healthier life of liberty, freedom to choose their happiness.” Give me a break. We know the truth of the effects of ObamaCare. I cannot believe that I am saying this, but I actually agree with Robert Gibbs! He describes the roll...
