GLEN ROCK, PA (Ammoland.com) – For several leading firearm companies, their success lies not in the brand name, the photogenic weapon or the marketing dollars spent on publicizing their products, but on a behind-the-scene company specializing in producing unparalleled firearms components. American Built Arms Company (A*B Arms) is that company, founded on the principle that a firearm’s true success lies in its ability to perform perfectly at all times, in all conditions. One failed function, one jam, one snapped pin can mean the end of a day of family fun on the range, a missed game shot, the end of a serious competition or a hard fought battle to stay alive.

In the latest Mexican military incursion into the United States, two heavily armed camouflaged soldiers from Mexico actually crossed 50 yards inside Arizona and held American Border Patrol agents at gunpoint in a tense confrontation.
Armed with assault-style weapons, the Mexican soldiers retreated back south after a 35-minute standoff as if nothing ever happened and the Obama administration just let it slide. The unbelievable foray was made public by a mainstream newspaper that obtained government documents with alarming details of the January 26 incident. Specifically, the paper cites the Border Patrol Foreign Military Incursion report and a separate letter from U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner R. Gil Kerlikowske, an Obama appointee who was recently sworn in. Continue reading “Mexican Military Holds Border Patrol at Gunpoint Inside U.S.”

California’s mountain snowpack, critical to the state’s water supply and $45 billion agricultural economy, is at less than one-third of normal and unlikely to rebound, according to data released on Tuesday by the Department of Water Resources.
While the 32 percent of average measurement is significantly better than the 12 percent at the end of January, California’s mountain precipitation season is drawing to a close. “We can hope that conditions improve, but time is running out and conservation is the only tool we have against nature’s whim,” water resources director Mark Cowin told the Wall Street Journal.

Rodolfo Ragonesi, CEO of the Gaia Foundation, is clearly a man of truly exceptional courage and focus.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) says Democrats passed their health insurance law, not to insure the uninsured, but to give people “quality” health care and “affordable” health care.
“Madam Leader, isn’t the real measure of success, not the raw number who signed up, but how many of those who signed up were not insured before?” a reporter asked Pelosi at a news conference on Tuesday. Continue reading “Pelosi: Don’t Measure ACA by How Many Uninsured Get Insurance”

OK, this is pretty creepy. Normally, Diego Garcia calling for an empty container ship to move ammo, or whatever, wouldn’t be too alarming.

As the facts about MH370 slowly emerge, it is increasingly apparent that the Malaysian government has been — and continues to be — involved in an elaborate cover-up that falsified and hid evidence the public deserves to know about the fate of Flight 370 passengers.
The government openly admitted this, in fact. “A Malaysian team have told relatives of Chinese passengers on board the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370 that there was sealed evidence that cannot be made public, as they came under fire from the angry relatives at a briefing on Wednesday,” reported the Straights Times.(1) Continue reading “Malaysian government admits altering MH370 pilot transcript, hiding evidence and misleading the public in massive cover-up”

A current scandal in Canada involves the Royal Canadian Mounted Police breaking down doors to confiscate firearms in High River Canada after they had cordoned off the town during a flood. Continue reading “NE: Bill to Prevent Ban on Gun Transport During Emergencies”

Four-plus hours of “frank” closed-door negotiations between Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov ended today with no deal, and the only agreement was that the two sides really want to reach some sort of agreement.
The issues are the same as ever, with the US demanding Russia withdraw from the Crimea, and insisting the protester-installed interim government is the “legitimate government” of Ukraine. Continue reading “Kerry, Russian FM Deadlocked After Hours of Talks”
End of the American Dream – by Michael Snyder
Has the United States ever experienced a time when a foreign nation has attempted to buy up so much of our land all at once? As you will read about in this article, the Chinese are on a real estate buying spree all over America. In fact, in some cases large chunks of land are actually being given to them. Yes, you read that correctly. China is on the way to becoming the dominant land owner in the entire country, and that is starting to alarm a lot of people. Do we really want a foreign superpower to physically own so much of our territory? Continue reading “The Chinese Are Acquiring Large Chunks Of Land In Communities All Over America”
