Donald J. Trump on the Right to Keep and Bear Arms The Second Amendment to our Constitution is clear. The right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed upon. Period. The Second Amendment guarantees a fundamental right that belongs to all law- abiding Americans. The Constitution doesn’t create that right – it ensures that the government can’t take it away. Our Founding Fathers knew, and our Supreme Court has upheld, that the Second Amendment’s purpose is to guarantee our right to defend ourselves and our families. This is about self-defense, plain and simple. It’s been said that the Second Amendment is America’s first freedom. That’s ...

AmmoLand Gun News Manasquan, NJ –-(Ammoland.com)- Fall hunting season is almost here and a fun annual topic of discussion around the campfires is always how large the U.S. population of hunters is?

Check out our newest info-graphic on how American hunting forces stack up in size against the largest standing armies in the world. Based on feedback, we have also included USA’s own standing ...

video Malachi Heisler was still rattled Tuesday morning. He covered his face with a bandana as he told us about waking up to the sound of his name being called out around midnight. “I heard the words Malachi and help,” he said. Hearing the distress, he grabbed his rifle. Then he came face to face with a man, dressed head to toe in tactical gear, holding a gun to his mother’s head. “I had about 5 to 6 seconds to make a decision,” he said. In that time, Heisler says the intruder pointed the gun toward him. But the 18-year-old shot first, hitting the masked man in the head and killing him. That man turned out to be Heisler’s own father, John. “By the ...

Of the 17 Republican hopefuls vying to lead their party into next year's election only Mr Bush and two other candidates do not have their own firearms. Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey, does not own a gun while Carly Fiorina, a former business executive and the only woman in the race, has six guns in her house but they belong to her husband. Donald Trump owns a handgun. Here he is pictured receiving a ceremonial rifle at a military academy All the other candidates said they had at least one ...
Florida gunmaker produces assault rifle 'never to be used by Muslim terrorists'

A new assault rifle being manufactured in central Florida has drawn fire after the gunmaker branded it the “Crusader” and said it was designed “to never be used by Muslim terrorists.” Spike’s Tactical in Apopka etched its new $1,395 AR-15 with a Bible verse that says “Blessed be the Lord my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle,” MyFoxOrlando reported. Company spokesman Ben Thomas, a former Navy SEAL, said the scripture is something of an insurance policy to keep it out of the hands of terrorists. The idea came to him during the weapon's development. At the time, the U.S. government was preparing to arm rebel groups in Syria. ...

Mental Health and the 2nd Amendment By Daniel John Sobieski Despite the undeniable mental issues affecting black, gay Democrat Vester Flanagan, who was not sporting a Confederate flag before he shot and killed his two former KDBJ coworkers, reporter Alison Parker and photojournalist Adam Ward, the fact is that he passed a background check and legally possessed the Glock handgun he used. As much as we all want to prevent the mentally unstable from possessing firearms, the fact is that there was nothing in Flanagan’s background to prevent him from legally owning a firearm. As NBC News reported: Nothing in Flanagan's background disqualified him from buying a gun. He was arrested ...

DETROIT (AP) — A suburban Detroit official is trying to extinguish the use of personal flamethrowers, which are being sold online by two Midwest companies, in his city. The companies, located in the Detroit area and Cleveland, claim their devices can be used for recreation or to control weeds and insect hives, clear snow and ice, clear brush and start a bonfire. Warren Mayor Jim Fouts calls the proposed uses "pretty specious" and "silly," the Detroit Free Press reported. Fouts wants to ban the storage, use and possession of flamethrowers in Warren because he believes the devices are dangerous and could damage property and cause house fires, injury or death. ...

On Monday, Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) became the latest in a string of Republican presidential candidates to attempt a viral video challenge to Donald Trump‘s absolute domination of the newshole when he filmed himself making and eating something he called “machine gun bacon.” There’s just one problem with Cruz’s demonstration (aside from the obvious overcompensation), which is that this ain’t a machine gun: As anyone with even a rudimentary knowledge of firearms can tell you, that’s a semi-automatic rifle. In fact, Rachel Maddow‘s show even contacted the gun range where the spot was filmed to confirm that the weapon used was an AR-15 semi-automatic ...

Glock owner in Los Angeles? Good luck with those mags
Post Date: 2015-08-03 21:01:58 by GrandIsland
5 Comments
Tuesday the Los Angeles City Council in a surprise move unanimously voted to ban possession of any detachable firearm magazine capable of holding more than ten rounds-- even those grandfathered a generation ago. You see, California in 2000 passed legislation banning new mags of this type, labeling them "high capacity" although they were standard in most models such as the Glock 19 and Glock 17, but allowed those who had them to keep them. Now, this is no more as anyone with a mag holding 10+ will have 60 days to either destroy it, turn it into police, sell it to a dealer (who can only resell it to another dealer or police), plug it or ship it out of the city. Councilman Paul ...

Animal's status unknown because authorities were unable to find it A Texas man was wounded after he fired a gun at an armadillo in his yard and the bullet ricocheted back to hit him in his face, the county sheriff said Friday. Cass County Sheriff Larry Rowe said the man, who was not identified, went outside his home in Marietta, Texas, at around 3 a.m. local time Thursday morning. He spotted the armadillo on his property and opened fire. "His wife was in the house. He went outside and took his .38 revolver and shot three times at the armadillo," Rowe said. The animal's hard shell deflected at least one of three bullets, which then struck the man's jaw, he said. The man ...

Seeking tighter controls over firearm purchases, the Obama administration is pushing to ban Social Security beneficiaries from owning guns if they lack the mental capacity to manage their own affairs, a move that could affect millions whose monthly disability payments are handled by others. The push is intended to bring the Social Security Administration in line with laws regulating who gets reported to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System, or NICS, which is used to prevent gun sales to felons, drug addicts, immigrants in the country illegally and others. A potentially large group within Social Security are people who, in the language of federal gun laws, are unable to ...
Down The Memory Hole? ANOTHER Immigrant Mass Murder—Muslim Gunman From Kuwait Kills Unarmed Marines

The first thing I wanted to know when I saw the Washington Post report of a gunman shooting US Marines in Tennessee was “What color gunman?” Of course, the story didn’t say, although it’s been updated with the gunman’s name (Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez from Kuwait). I think that when MSM reporters are in press conferences, and the spokesman says “We can’t release the name of the gunman just yet”, the reporters should be shouting that question: “What color gunman? “ Because I promise you, people at home are shouting it at their TVs. Anyhow, the killer turns out to have been a Muslim immigrant— apparently assimilated right up to the ...

What do you think a mother would say is the greater threat to her child: Russia or guns? I couldn’t help but ask myself that question on Friday when I heard the testimony of General Joseph Dunford, President Obama’s nominee to be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, before the Senate Armed Services Committee. When Dunford was asked what was the greatest threat to the United States, he responded by ranking them in this order: Russia, China, North Korea, and ISIS. Now, Dunford is undoubtedly correct when it comes to the global threats facing us, and those are the threats it’s his job to assess. But from a day-to-day perspective, our greatest threat, and I’d ...
