NRA on Fox Super Sunday
The battle to save our Second Amendment freedoms is raging right now.
And if you saw any coverage of this week’s Senate hearings on gun control, you know the media elites and the gun ban lobby are running wild with half-truths, deceptions, and downright lies about you, me and our gun rights.
So I’m going on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace to set the record straight! Please watch at 9:00 a.m. ET this Sunday – and tell your family, friends and fellow gun owners to watch as well.

The following Sunday, it was announced live on Gun Talk Radio (http://www.guntalk.com). “It’s amazing to see the response to this offer,” said Tom Gresham. “Clearly, many people want to support gun rights, and they recognize the value of the NRA.

Winter Nutcrackers in Michigan
By Glen Wunderlich
Old Man Winter has finally made an appearance and has blessed Michigan with frozen everything from toes to water pipes. The wintering birds are flocking to feeders –and, yes, mourning doves by the dozen, too – in their never-ending quest to survive. Animals have an innate response to harsh weather by feeding heavily before ominous weather fronts approach, and with that understanding and a trusty .22 caliber rimfire, I headed to the woods at dawn in search of squirrels.
In Michigan, squirrels aren’t hunted as much as they are in some of the southern states and are quite under-utilized making for little competition from other hunters in most areas. I learned early in life that the .22 rimfire was the best tool for the job – not that a shotgun won’t bring them down – but, who needs the hidden lead pellets, extra holes, extra noise, extra cost, etc. Read more
HSUS Gags on Disinformation
