Firearms trusts allow for certain protections under the law to ensure that, upon death, one’s firearms remain accessible to future generations.

Sunnyvale Mayor Tony Spitaleri paid no attention to gun laws until last Dec. 14 — the day 26 people died in the Newtown, Conn., mass shooting.
“We need to do something,” said Spitaleri, 69, a retired Palo Alto fire captain who was born in the South Bronx. “And I got angry, and I said, that’s enough. When do we stop?” Continue reading “NRA Threatens to Sue Silicon Valley Suburb Over Bloomberg-Backed Gun Control Measure”

A single-engine Cessna 172 crashed early Tuesday morning at Nashville International Airport and burst into flames, killing the pilot.

An international volunteer organization urged Canadian authorities to arrest former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney on war crimes charges when he visits the 2013 Toronto Global Forum later this week.
Lawyers Against the War argued in a letter dated Sunday that Toronto Police Chief William Blair and Ontario Attorney General John Gerretsen have a duty to arrest Cheney “as a person suspected on reasonable grounds of authorizing, counseling, aiding, abetting and failing to prevent torture.” Continue reading “Canadians Seek Dick Cheney’s Arrest For War Crimes During Upcoming Visit”

American Tactical Imports is leaving Rochester for South Carolina, blaming the move in part on the state’s gun-control law passed in January.
“As one of the gun industry’s top importers and manufactures of firearms and firearm related accessories, ATI’s decision to relocate is two-fold,” the company said in a news release yesterday.“ATI believes it is imperative that a firearms importer and manufacturer do business within a state that is friendly to the Second Amendment rights of the people.

BELLEVUE, Wash., Oct. 29, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms today said gun ban groups and the Obama administration are engaged in “world-class hypocrisy” for criticizing gun rights organizations over “Guns Save Lives Day” – on the day after the first anniversary of the Sandy Hook tragedy – while planning their own lobbying effort and activities to exploit the event.
“When we launched ‘Guns Save Lives Day’ (GSLD) we were condemned for ‘poor taste’ by the same groups that are now reportedly planning a November lobbying effort, and media events coinciding with the Sandy Hook anniversary,” noted CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “According to Politico, the leading gun prohibition groups are coordinating with the Obama administration to fully exploit the Newtown anniversary to further their own political agenda, exactly as we predicted when we announced the GSLD project.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg dropped a cool $1 million in support of a campaign in Colorado to raise income taxes by nearly $1 billions a year.

Wisconsin –-(Ammoland.com)- Assembly Bill 9 (when introduced last spring) would have, if passed, created a special class of off-duty and former law-enforcement officers who could carry places (school grounds) ‘we the people’ could not.
It also trampled private property rights of private individuals and businesses.
Wisconsin Carry was able to get amendments to the bill that would have extended the right to carry on school grounds to concealed carry license holders AND protected the private property rights of private homes and businesses.

New Jersey –-(Ammoland.com)- It should come as no surprise that NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg is trying to use his name and cash to attack pro Second Amendment candidates here in NJ and across the country.
We have been told that his latest attempt at buying people’s rights comes in the form of pouring cash into the group Hunterdon United For Gun Safety (HUGs) specifically so they can attack District 16 ASW Donna Simon for her pro Second Amendment stance.

Florida –-(Ammoland.com)- Well, I was wrong! I never thought the case against Sheriff Nick Finch would make it to trial, but that is exactly what is going to happen, tomorrow morning, October 29, 2013 at 0900. (Happy Halloween, nothing could be creepier!)

The 2016 presidential election is more than three years away, but potential candidates and their supporters are already contemplating the next campaign. Senator Ted Cruz of Texas—now well-known for his role in the recent federal shutdown—and California’s celebrity former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger are among those whose names are circulating. But neither Cruz nor Schwarzenegger was born in the United States, and the Constitution provides that “[n]o person except a natural born citizen, or a Citizen at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President.” Continue reading “Is Ted Cruz a natural-born citizen eligible to serve as president?”

WASHINGTON — The US military has invested billions in blimp-like aircraft to track militants planting roadside bombs but the spyship experiment is losing altitude because of technical failures and changing priorities.
The lighter-than-air projects were billed as an innovative revival of an old aircraft design to conduct “unblinking” surveillance on the battlefield — at a fraction of the cost of fuel-guzzling planes or helicopters. Continue reading “US Military’s Airship Programs Lose Altitude”
