Winchester Unleashes World’s Fastest, Most Powerful Modern Rimfire Cartridge

EAST ALTON, Ill. (Jan. 3, 2013) – Coyotes, prairie dogs and other varmints, beware. In 2013, Winchester® Ammunition will arm small game hunters with the most revolutionary rimfire cartridge in the company’s almost 150-year history – the .17 Winchester Super Magnum. The .17 Win Super Mag offers the downrange performance of a centerfire cartridge at only a fraction of the cost. For the first time in history, hunters can expect pinpoint accuracy and devastating performance from a rimfire cartridge at ranges well past 200 yards. “Our engineers have been developing the top-secret .17 Win Super Mag caliber for more than three years and the rimfire revolution begins now,” said Brett Flaugher, Winchester Ammunition vice president of sales, marketing and strategy.  “At 3,000 feet per second it’s the fastest modern rimfire cartridge on the planet. The downrange energy deposited by the .17 Win Super Mag will be a game-changer for varmint and predator hunters everywhere.” Read more

Armed School Security Is Already in Effect

When the NRA called for armed security in schools, opponents called him crazy.  But, when Bill Clinton enacted such a program called Cops in Schools, he was brilliant.  And, the failed Clinton gun ban of 1994 was permitted to sunset, because it was a miserable failure and had no effect on crime, but now it will work because liberals love the notion.  California Senator Barbara Boxer wants armed National Guardsmen in schools, but no one hears a peep about her mental health.  In addition, we have some 23,000 schools with armed guards right now, but who is talking to them?

So, we see that as long as the liberals want a discussion on the issue of safety for school children, the talks can go on – as long as the ideas are their own.

A sensible approach from NRA’s David Keene is here…

Tucson’s Gun Buy-Back Plan Almost Makes Sense

Just what we need:  More symbolism over substance.  Another gun buy-back program with a sensible twist covering what happens to firearms after they have been turned in.

“The police would have to take the guns and run them through the national database. If they are stolen, they are returned to the owner,” said Todd Rathner, a member of the National Rifle Association’s board of directors . “If they are not stolen, the police department is mandated by state law to sell them to the public.”

This sure sounds like a reasonable approach, but when does reason win over emotion and feel-good showmanship in the eyes of liberal gun grabbers?

Details of the scheme are here…

Feinstein IS Coming for Your Guns

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)—author of the federal “assault weapon” and “large” ammunition magazine ban of 1994-2004—has announced that on the first day of the new Congress—January 3rd— she will introduce a bill to which her 1994 ban will pale by comparison. On Dec. 17th, Feinstein said, “I have been working with my staff for over a year on this legislation” and “It will be carefully focused.” Indicating the depth of her research on the issue, she said on Dec. 21st that she had personally looked at pictures of guns in 1993, and again in 2012.

Who Pays for School Guards?

Just read this lead-in to a piece in a local newspaper:  School officials have one response to the National Rifle Association’s call for armed police in every school: Who’s paying?  My question is rhetorical:  Who has paid so far?

There is a price to pay for everything.  So, the answer is in one’s priorities.

Here is one solution.  Remember when Obama visited his friend Hugo Chavez, President of Venezuela and committed billions of our tax dollars to pay for his oil production efforts?  Then Obama remarked that the U.S. would be his best customer?

Let’s start right there by putting that cash toward school security.  Want more ideas?  More Read more
