Powderhorn Outfitters, which sells firearms, archery gear and fishing equipment in Hyannis, Massachusetts, posted in an online forum this week that its longtime bank – TD Bank – had suddenly dropped its account.   Continue reading “Operation Choke Point Forces Bank To Dump Gun Store”

FINLAND, Minn. – May 30 – The Organic Consumers Association (OCA) today asked its million-plus members to call on Congress to reject efforts by the meat industry to weaken protections for farmers.

Tyson Foods, the nation’s largest factory farm producer of chicken, beef and pork is behind a proposed policy rider to the House Appropriations Committee’s 2015 spending bill. The rider would weaken rules, written by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Grain Inspection, Packers & Stockyards Administration (GIPSA). The rules are intended to protect contract farmers who raise animals for the four companies that control nearly all the meat eaten in the U.S. GIPSA is an agency of the USDA that writes the rules intended to promote “fair and competitive trading practices for the overall benefit of consumers and American agriculture.” Continue reading “Organic Consumers Association Calls on Congress to Oppose the Tyson Foods Anti-Farmer Act”

MH370 searchIndependent – by Adam Withnall

Officials today confirmed what we have feared for some time – that a relatively tiny search zone in the southern Indian Ocean is not the final resting place of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

From an underwater mission covering 850 sq km (320 sq mile) where acoustic “pings” were heard, the area being searched has now been extended to around a 60,000 sq km (23,100 sq mile) zone based on satellite data which remains disputed in some quarters.

The Australia-led search control team estimate it could be August – next year – before this region has been covered, and hopes of finding the Boeing 777’s flight recorders are becoming increasingly dim.

The California Air Resources Board, despite comments that it should reconsider amendments to its AB32 Scoping Plan on cutting carbon dioxide emissions, has gone ahead and approved them unanimously. What that means is CARB has rubber-stamped a plan to place the state on a path to cut carbon dioxide emissions in the state to 80 percent below 1990 levels, by mid-century.

Pacific Legal Foundation senior staff attorney, Ted Hadzi-Antich, said the comments submitted by PLF were totally ignored by the board. Ted says virtually every economic sector of the Golden State will be regulated by California’s Cap and Trade Regulation – energy, agriculture, water, waste generation and disposal, natural and working lands, buildings and construction, and transportation.   Continue reading “California set to regulate everything–through Cap and Trade”

Col. Danny StebbinsCourant – by DAVE ALTIMARI

State Police Col. Danny Stebbins, who oversaw the department’s investigation into the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, has told his top officers that he will be retiring at the end of June.

Stebbins has been the top state police officer since Gov. Dannel P. Malloy appointed him in January 2010, but he has come under criticism from the union for pushing for the consolidation of dispatch services. He also drew the ire of many legislators when, at a conference in New Orleans, he revealed some details of the Sandy Hook shootings that the victims’ families had not yet been told.

The study – formulated by researchers at the Ponemon Institute, which measures data collection and information security in the public and private sectors – also determined that the number of hacked accounts belonging to those individuals numbered at or near 432 million.   Continue reading “Staggering figures: Half of all US adults hacked in last 12 months”

AUSTIN – In a surprise legal about-face, Attorney General Greg Abbott on Thursday ruled that state prison officials no longer have to tell the public where they obtain drugs used to execute condemned criminals.

Abbott’s decision falls in line with other states that have sought to keep secret the source of their lethal drugs, to keep death-penalty opponents from pressuring suppliers to quit selling to execution chambers. His decision reversed three rulings since 2010 that had mandated the information about the suppliers be made public.    Continue reading “Abbott switches mind on death drug secrecy”

Gun CollectionAmmoLand – by Mary “Dynk” McDonald

USA –-(Ammoland.com)- Returning to the justification for increased legislation based on comparing firearms to cars, the arguments stated are easily debunked.

Rationalizing the need to own a particular type or quantity of a firearm or ammunition is without merit, a prejudicial justification as a means of placing limits on ownership.

Each vehicle has a purpose, from a small electric car in a congested town to a large pickup used to move equipment on a job. The only limits involved in who may purchase one over the other, used or new, are financial in nature. A small caliber derringer is equivalent to the small electric car, a shotgun an equivalent to the pickup. Some vehicles will hold more people, some are better suited to driving in rough terrain, yet each has a need and purpose that is not questioned by the general public.
