Washington DC – -(Ammoland.com)- Mark Kelly’s campaign against “assault weapons” such as the AR-15 rifle has sparked a local backlash.

On March 13 213, a Tucson, Arizona radio host published a photograph of former Congresswoman Gabby Giffords holding an AR-15 rifle at a gun range. Giffords has since confirmed that the photograph is authentic.   Continue reading “Mark Kelly’s ‘AR-15 Stunt’ Provokes Giffords Gun Photos Leak”

Although the source – who is well-informed about North Korean affairs according to South Korean media reports – did not reveal the exact timing of the incident or who was behind the attack, he said the move appeared to be related to the recent fall and rise of a powerful general, Kim Yong-chol. “It appeared that disgruntled people inside the North moved before the time of the demotion of Kim Yong-chol,” the source said.   Continue reading “Kim Jong-Un Survives Assassination Attempt”

“There are, in increasingly frightening numbers, cells of angry men in the United States preparing for combat,” warns an unusually strident house editorial by the Los Angeles Times. “They are usually heavily armed, blinded by an intractable hatred, often motivated by religious zeal.”

That description was not applied to the masked, armor-clad Berserkers who kick down doors in the early morning or late at night and terrorize families over non-violent “offenses.” Nor was it offered in reference to the militants who have purchased more than 1.6 billion rounds of ammunition – much of it hollow-point rounds unsuitable for military use – while distributing armored vehicles and other military hardware to their adherents in practically every city nation-wide.   Continue reading “Only an Incipient ‘Terrorist’ Denounces State Murder”

LOS ANGELES — The city has agreed to give $40,000 to two women whose pickup was shot up by a Police Department protection detail that mistook their newspaper delivery vehicle for the truck driven by rogue ex-cop Christopher Dorner during his rampage, officials announced Thursday.

The tax-free settlement covering the pickup and other property came quickly after the women’s attorney, Glen Jonas, rejected Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck’s offer of a replacement truck because the women would have had to pay taxes. The deal specified no admission of liability.   Continue reading “LA compensates 2 for truck mistakenly shot by LAPD”

The only civilian eyewitness to come forward in the case of a Brooklyn teen shot dead by a pair of plainclothes New York City police officers is “certain” the 16 year-old was empty-handed when the cops opened fire.

Kimani ‘Kiki’ Gray was shot several times by two officers patrolling East Flatbush in an un-marked car around 11:30 p.m. Saturday night.   Continue reading “Eyewitness “Certain” Kimani Gray Was Unarmed When Police Shot Him”

A youth baseball league in central Illinois is in desperate need of cash – so they’ve decided to auction off an AR-15 assault rifle.

Last year the Atwood-Hammond baseball league tried to raffle off half a hog. But they only raised $10 – and barely had enough to pay the local butcher.   Continue reading “Youth Baseball Team Raffling AR-15 Rifle”

A New Jersey mother was arrested and told to turn over her guns after reading the Constitution and peacefully protesting at a tax dispute forum, she says.

Eileen Hart was with her husband Keith and her 7-year-old daughter on Saturday at the Gloucester Community Center to dispute a mandatory home re-evaluation that would roughly double her property value (and therefore dramatically increase her rates), objecting on multiple grounds.  As an Orthodox Jew, she refused to have the inspectors in her home when her husband was away at work.  As an American citizen, she objected to the seemingly arbitrary reappraisal, noting that she is not planning on selling her home and hasn’t renovated her kitchen in 30 years.   Continue reading “NJ Mother Pressured to Turn over her Guns, Charged with ‘Terroristic Threats’ after Reading the Constitution at Tax Dispute Assembly”

The devastating sequester cuts are going to reduce manpower on the border, bringing new attention to border patrol technology.  Apparently there is a plethora of machines ready to step up, or more precisely roll up, and take on the challenge – cameras, robots, drones, I guess the drones will be flying up.  At any rate, this will all be free equipment…not.

In the end result, the high technology will cost more to do basically the same job, which is no job at all, as ICE Agents have already been told to leave the poor immigrants and their backpacks full of cocaine, heroin, and marijuana, alone, as they are just coming here for a better life.  And if they do wind up being arrested for a crime committed against an American national, well they will be released, as we cannot afford to house them because of the sequester.   Continue reading “Technology to Seal our Southern Border – Yeah, that’s the Ticket”

The Taser, the non-lethal law enforcement weapon that is meant to incapacitate criminals without causing great harm, has killed at least 500 people last decade. The real number of casualties might be even higher.

In the period between 2001 and early 2012, the stun-gun Taser devices used by law enforcement across America have claimed the lives of 500 people.   Continue reading “Tasers Have Killed at Least 500 Americans”

There is no situation that cannot be made instantly and immeasurably worse through police intervention. A splendid illustration of this principle is found in a recent ruling from the the Arkansas Court of Appeals.

According to the court, police were entitled to arrest, taze, and beat a teenager who had done nothing more sinister than speak to his mother on the street in front of their home. A police officer accosted the young man – who, as a juvenile, is identified only by the initials “R.R.” — after he saw him approaching a woman who was walking a dog.   Continue reading ““For Your Own Protection””

There truly is no rest for the wicked, and Monsanto is at war once again against health conscious consumers with the latest ‘Monsanto Protection Act‘, managing to sneak wording into the latest Senate legislation that would give them blanket immunity from any USDA action regarding the potential dangers of their genetically modified creations while under review. The USDA would be unable to act against any and all new GMO crops that were suspected to be wreaking havoc on either human health or the environment.   Continue reading “New ‘Monsanto Protection Act’ Gives Monsanto Power Over US Government”
