The Detroit Police Chief is encouraging armed residents to fight back against the thugs in their city. Now usually blue West Virgina is facing a change, partially evidenced by  long-time incumbent Democrats trailing in the polls . Their Governor just signed a la...

The bill allows people who have a weapons permit to bring loaded handguns into bars and nightclubs – as long as they do not drink alcohol. It also authorises school boards to appoint staff to carry firearms on campus, forces public housing authorities to allow guns in their premises and ...

It says "a few people" complained that the flag was "offensive." When questioned as to why the flag was offensive, the bank refused to provide an answer. Let me ask a simple question — delicately. If natural-born Americans living in a foreign country (even if they had since become citizens of that country) complained about the nation's flag flying on one of i...

How ironic that Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Barack Obama used the Tomahawk missile he now seeks to scrap as his weapon of choice when on March 19, 2011, he launched Operation Odyssey Dawn and fired 112 Tomahawks at Libyan targets to enforce a U.N.-backed no fly-zone in support of Libyan rebels fighting Moammar Gadhafi.Future presidents will not ...

National Review - Krauthammer's Take: Who to Believe, the Holy See or the Man Who Told the Lie of the Year? By NRO Staff According to Charles Krauthammer, it's easy to choose who to believe. "On the one hand you've got the Bishop of Rome, the Holy See, of whom a billion co-religionists believe in his infallibility," Krauthammer said. "On the other hand you've got a man who said, 'If you like your plan, you can keep your plan. If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor.' So who are you going to choose?" Availa...

Shared from Zite   John Hames shared with you:   [Video] BREAKING: Piers Morgan Officially Off the Air, Uses Last Show to Preach Gun Control gunssavelives.net - As you probably know, Piers Morgan's CNN show has been canceled. He used his final sign off to attack the NRA, gun owners and preach for more gun control in America. Transcript below. My point is simple: more guns doesn't mean less crime as the NRA repeatedly says. It means more gun violence, death and profits for the gun manufacturers. And to those who claim my gun control campaigning has been "anti-American", the reverse is true. I am so pro-American that I want more of you to sta...

A priestly vocation is "the wish to spend your whole life in service to catechize, baptize, forgive, celebrate the Eucharist, take care of the sick, and spend your whole life in this way," said Francis. In his description of the call to Holy Orders, the Holy Father emphasized the role of love.  This is owing to the fact that...

Shared from Zite   John Hames shared with you:   Gunfight Friday: Colt Trooper vs SIG Sauer fieldandstream.com - Today's gunfight is between a couple of versatile all-around carry guns: a .357 revolver and a .22/.45 ACP semauto combo. The revolver is a Colt Trooper Mk III, made from 1969-1982. It is a redesigned version of the original Trooper, which was intended to be a medium-frame, lower cost version of the Python. As its name suggests, the "Trooper" was marketed to law enforcement agencies. The SIG Sauer P220 was introduced in 1975 as the Swiss army's service pistol. Designed in Switzerland and built in collaboration with Sauer in Germany, it works with the precise reliability you would expect from a German-Swiss partnership ...

NRA-ILA GRASSROOTS ALERT:  Vol. 21, No.  13 03/28/2014 FBI Arrests Anti-Gun California Senator on Firearm Trafficking Charges Being good Americans, we take the position that anyone who is arrested and charged with multiple crimes is innocent until proven guilty. That's more than California state senator Leland Yee (D) has done for gun owners in the past. In August 2012, Yee said "no one will convince me it's anything other than a joke to say that having multiple clips and semi-automatic weapons that can shoot 100 or more bullets at a time is necessary in this state or in this country, it's ridiculous."  Now, Yee has other things with which to concern himself, and none is a joking matter.  The San Jose Mercury-News reports that "Yee now is accused of consorting with notorious felons, accepting money for his cash-strapped political campaigns in exchange for favors and promising undercover FBI agents he could deliver connections to international gun runners....
