Everyone knew Magpul was going to take its jobs and nearly $90 million in taxeselsewhere  as a result of the state’s recent gun control laws. That was just the beginning of the rebellion. The blowback that has begun against Michael Bloomberg’s Colorado gun control bills is so massive that even the Washington Post is noticing it.

Hunters across the country are boycotting Colorado because of recent legislation meant to curtail gun violence.   Continue reading “What Bloomberg hath wrought: Colorado gun control blowback accelerates”

The Economic Collapse – by Michael

Don’t be surprised when the global elite confiscate money from your bank account one day.  They are already very clearly telling you that they are going to do it.  Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem is the president of the Eurogroup – an organization of eurozone finance ministers that was instrumental in putting together the Cyprus “deal” – and he has said publicly that what has just happened in Cyprus will serve as a blueprint for future bank bailouts.    Continue reading “The Global Elite Are Very Clearly Telling Us That They Plan To Raid Our Bank Accounts”

Under immense pressure from grassroots activists across the political spectrum, lawmakers in the Arizona Senate approved legislation last week that would ban the controversial United Nations “sustainable development” scheme known as UN Agenda 21 within the state. The measure in Arizona follows similar efforts in other states and comes amid increasing nationwide outrage about the international so-called “sustainability” plot, which according to UN documents aims to radically restructure human civilization under the guise of environmentalism and fighting poverty.   Continue reading “State Ban on UN Agenda 21 Clears Arizona Senate”

School officials at Minnesota State University Moorhead have selected left-wing radical and admitted terrorist Bill Ayers as the 2013 College of Education and Human Services “visiting scholar,” according to Campus Reform.

Freedom Outpost – by Tim Brown

I must admit that it seems silly to me that the law of the land, and I’m specifically referencing the Second Amendment, has to have another law in place to preserve it. However, in the days we live I’m glad to see that states are stepping up and taking the Tenth Amendment to heart against an overreaching, tyrannical government. One such state is Kansas. Their Second Amendment Preservation Act, also known as HB2199, has moved one step closer to the desk of Governor Sam Brownback (R-KS).   Continue reading “Kansas Second Amendment Preservation Act Moves Closer To Becoming Law”

Washington, DC –(Ammoland.com)-  In New York, the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) conference is entering its final phase, and the ways in which the negotiations might fail are becoming clearer.

A large number of nations—mainly the Middle East but also Bangladesh, Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, and others—are not going to get much of what they want from this treaty. That is a good thing. These nations want the treaty to:    Continue reading “The Arms Trade Treaty, Week Two: The Ways It Might Fail”

Everyday Health – by Jeffrey Kopman

According to a new Harris Poll survey, conducted on behalf of the management consulting firm Accenture, less than one-third of U.S. doctors think patients should have full access to their own electronic health records.

As a patient, you may literally trust your doctor with your life, and the doctor-patient relationship relies on this level of trust. The  relationship should be one of give and take, even if the exchange is sometimes dominated by the professional.   Continue reading “Electronic Health Records: Doctors Want to Keep Patients Out”

Supporters of the 380 sheriffs in 15 states who so far have vowed to defy new state and federal gun control laws claim that legislation is starting to pop up around the nation to fire any state elected or appointed law enforcement official who doesn’t obey federal orders.

The first effort emerged in Texas. Legislation proposed by Dallas Democratic Rep. Yvonne Davis would remove any sheriff or law enforcement officer who refuses to enforce state or federal laws.   Continue reading “Law Would Fire Sheriffs For Defying Gun Control Measures”

First it was a secret “kill list” on which Nobel Peace Laureate Barack Obama names those he wishes to be assassinated. The names included American citizens Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan who died in a drone strike in Yemen on September 30th, 2011. Neither was indicted or charged with a crime. They were killed as ‘terrorists’ at the discretion of one man whose signature now constitutes due process.

Then, on March 20th, the Obama administration put a $5 million bounty on each of two American citizens: Abu Mansur Al-Amriki (alias Omar Hammami) and Jehad Serwan Mostafa. They are accused of being fighters for the Islamic militant group al Shabaab which is based in Somalia.    Continue reading “Totalitarianism is the New Normal”
