This from the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance… 

It seems that the most dangerous and well-funded group within the animal rights lobby, the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is again trying to reposition itself to seem mainstream. That transformation is a new “Faith Outreach” effort. Yes, HSUS is attempting to align itself with religions. This path closely follows the animal rights group’s programs that have thrust its tentacles into school systems and young student minds around the nation. Churches should definitely beware.

 Good intentions of ideologues have given us Gun-Free Zones (GFZs).  Unfortunately, their unintended consequences have given us mass murders.  We all know the history:  Luby’s Cafeteria in Texas, post offices, schools, an unarmed army base, and even a country such as Norway all have fought reality with gun-control laws and have demonstrated the folly of extreme, liberal thinking.  The next tragedy is most likely brewing in some demented soul’s brain and calling 911 won’t prevent the inevitable.  Neither will any GFZ.  And, Texas Congressman and GOP presidential hopeful, Ron Paul, is tired of waiting for more proof that weapons of mass imagination have failed and has proposed a bill that would allow teachers to become armed.

  Rights LobbyPosted on August 12, 2011 by U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance

This from the NRA about Britan’s recent rash of riots in gun-free zones…

 By now you have seen the headlines and images of destruction: the rioting, looting, violent assaults, and arson.  London and other UK cities look like war zones and their citizens are afraid to venture out, because the danger is very real.  It’s a view of the temporary breakdown of society.  It is gut check time; a time when the concept of being able to defend oneself gives way to the stark reality that few viable options to do so exist.
