In their quest to expand background checks for gun owners nationwide, gun-control advocates have resorted to targeting the mentally ill in states.
Each year, dozens of states track mentally ill citizens and report them to a federal database of criminals who are prohibited from buying guns.
Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety, a national gun-control group that seeks universal background checks, keeps a running tally of those states, hoping to shame ones that don’t snitch on citizens receiving treatment for mental illness.

Vatic Note: Another truly educational piece that we fell upon. This is about how Israel treats their allies. No wonder they have no clue about how to behave when it comes to crimes against humanity on the International stage. The USS Liberty and the USS Cole taught us a lot about Israel as an ally. With allies like this, who needs enemies. Brother Nathaneal has done the world a great service by exposing truth about Israel and their khazar Zionists.
Worse, they won’t even apologize for what they have done to another ally. Remember Turkey is part of NATO, so why didn’t NATO stand with Turkey? Israel does not belong to NATO, so there was no reason for them to have a problem with standing for what is right. Continue reading “Jewish Control of Turkey’s Military & Flotilla Murders”

Smokers in the US state of Arizona could soon be forced to decide just how much they enjoy lighting up.
Officials in Pima County, which includes the city of Tuscon, are set to consider new rules that would prohibit the hiring of people who smoke and charging current employees who do partake additional sums for their health insurance.
The authorities believe the move could save more than $1m in reduced health care costs. But some observers have said the move would amount to workplace discrimination. Continue reading “Officials in Arizona could stop employing people who smoke”

American Luke Somers and South African Pierre Korkie were fatally wounded by militants from the Al-Qaeda of the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) who were holding them, in a botched attempt by the US special operations forces to rescue them.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans will hold at least 246 House seats come January, according to election results Saturday, giving the GOP a commanding majority that matches the party’s post-World War II high during Democratic President Harry S. Truman’s administration.
The GOP retained control of two seats in runoffs in Louisiana, expanding the advantage for Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, who can afford defections from his increasingly conservative caucus and still get legislation passed. Combined with the Republican takeover of the Senate, Congress will be all-GOP for the final two years of President Barack Obama’s second term. Continue reading “GOP to match Truman-era high with 246 House seats”
MIAMI (AP) — Six prisoners held for 12 years at Guantanamo Bay have been sent to Uruguay to be resettled as refugees, the U.S. government announced Sunday — a deal that had been delayed for months by security concerns at the Pentagon and political considerations in the South American country.
The six men — four Syrians, a Tunisian and a Palestinian — are the first prisoners transferred to South America from the U.S. base in Cuba, part of a flurry of recent releases amid a renewed push by President Barack Obama to close the prison.
