Manassas, VA –(Ammoland.com)- About a month after the US Senate voted down a series of gun control amendments back in April, an article in the New Republic magazine boldly declared “This is How the NRA Ends: A Bigger, Richer, Meaner Gun Control Movement has Arrived.”

The article was a long diatribe regurgitating much of the stale tripe and distortion we’ve been hearing from the anti-rights movement for decades, and singing the praises of the movement’s new messiah, Mike Bloomberg, the three-term Mayor of New York City.   Continue reading “Nanny Bloomberg’s War on the Constitution”

Besides the low-information urban voter, California hunters face three challenges new challenges.  First, lead ammunition might be outlawed in California.  The second challenge is that California has a long dry season and a no-burn wildfire policy for wild lands and mixed use terrain.  Finally, non-lead ammunition can spark fires.  Put those three things together and California hunters need to their problems before California Assembly Bill 711 becomes law.  The bill banning lead ammunition has passed the State Senate but has only had its first reading in the California State assembly.   Continue reading “California Gun Owners Stalked and Targeted by New Legislation”

Newly declassified documents, obtained by George Washington University’s National Security Archive, appear to for the first time acknowledge the existence of Area 51. Hundreds of pages describe the genesis of the Nevada site that was home to the government’s spy plane program for decades. The documents do not, however, mention aliens.

The project started humbly. In the pre-drone era about a decade after the end of World War II, President Eisenhower signed off on a project aimed at building a high-altitude, long-range, manned aircraft that could photograph remote targets. Working together, the Air Force and Lockheed developed a craft that could hold the high-resolution cameras required for the images, a craft that became the U-2. Why “U-2”?   Continue reading “Government Now Admits Existence Of Area 51”

What does America do when she no longer needs her slaves or surplus workers?

The 1880’s reconstruction era was the first time in our history that America had seen a large surplus of non-white labor.

In the 1870’s many former slaves were integrated into the labor force, but white backlash in the 1880’s and 1890’s led to a permanent underclass through nearly a century of “separate but equal.”   Continue reading “What Do You Do When You No Longer Need Your Slaves?”

The National Security Agency has broken privacy rules or overstepped its legal authority thousands of times each year since 2008, the Washington Post reported on Thursday, citing an internal audit and other top-secret documents.

Park Service employees spent Thursday scooping up the dead bluegills out of the Constitution Gardens pond into trash bags.

However, the number is not unusual for that pond, officials said, due to the construction and design of the area.   Continue reading “Hundreds of Dead Fish Found in Pond at National Mall”

I received an interesting email about rationalizing training with combat; a request for a blog post on the subject. The question posed is here:

“……we trained a great deal of the drills and principles you teach, but I never saw combat.  One thing I don’t understand completely is how the drills relate to actual combat, in the details.  I have watched lots of helmet-cam combat footage from GWOT, and it never looks anything like the drills, or even like the footage of the drills being run live-fire.  The GWOT footage, even when SOF is involved, is best often described as “hiding behind a wall spraying bullets at the desert”.   Continue reading “Rationalizing Training Drills with Combat Reality”

At a joint news conference with his Brazilian counterpart on Tuesday, Secretary of State John Kerry praised Brazil for its commitment to climate change initiatives, and he promised that the Obama administration also is determined to do something about it.

“So the challenge is ahead of us, for all of us, and I know that the United States has a great commitment under President Obama to take our own initiatives, not even to wait for congressional action, but to move administratively in order to do our part. I know we can continue to work with Brazil on this issue of climate, and we look forward to doing so.”   Continue reading “Kerry: Obama Will Act on Climate Change Without Congressional Approval”

BEIRUT (AP) — A powerful car bomb tore through a bustling south Beirut neighborhood that is a stronghold of Hezbollah on Thursday, killing at least 18 and trapping dozens of others in an inferno of burning cars and buildings in the bloodiest attack yet on Lebanese civilians linked to Syria’s civil war.

The blast is the second in just over a month to hit one of the Shiite militant group’s bastions of support, and the deadliest in decades. It raises the specter of a sharply divided Lebanon being pulled further into the conflict next door, which is being fought on increasingly sectarian lines pitting Sunnis against Shiites.   Continue reading “Powerful car bomb kills 18 in south Beirut suburb”
