The NRA Speaks for Change
The National Rifle Association’s 4 million mothers, fathers, sons and daughters join the nation in horror, outrage, grief and earnest prayer for the families of Newtown, Connecticut … who suffered such incomprehensible loss as a result of this unspeakable crime.
Out of respect for those grieving families, and until the facts are known, the NRA has refrained from comment. While some have tried to exploit tragedy for political gain, we have remained respectfully silent.
Now, we must speak … for the safety of our nation’s children. Here is the plan in their own words: http://nranews.com/pressconferencereplay.html Read more
Associated Press Clouds the Gun Debate with Its Ignorance
By Glen Wunderlich
There are so many opinions about “doing something” about guns, I’ve purposely avoided comment to date. But, after reading an AP piece, it’s easy to see why people become confused.
It begins by stating that the previous “assault weapons” ban was considered imperfect by many. Then it starts the misinformation indicating that if the ban had been in place during the Sandy Hook killings, it would have been illegal for the gunman to use the 30-round magazines…

Snyder Caves; Others Don’t
“I believe that it is important that these public institutions have clear legal authority to ban weapons from their premises,” he said in his written response to legislation that would allow concealed carry in gun-free zones. “Each is entrusted with the care of a vulnerable population and should have the authority to determine whether its mission would be enhanced by the addition of concealed weapons.”

Teachers Favor Helplessness in School
On the verge of history to repeal Michigan’s gun-free-zones’ helplessness, comes this…
The unthinkable murder spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., Dec. 14 is a “chilling and heartbreaking reminder that firearms have absolutely no place in our schools,” wrote American Federation of Teachers (AFT) President Randi Weingarten and AFT Michigan Chapter President David Hecker in a letter to Snyder.
“Gov. Snyder, please show the kind of leadership that students, families, educators and community members need to be as safe as possible in their schools,” they wrote. “You can set an example for Michigan and the nation by taking this small but significant step to reduce gun violence by vetoing S.B. 59.”

Muzzleloading season always seems fitting to get some venison in the freezer. Since many of the bucks have been killed during the regular firearms season, late-season opportunities have us focusing on mature does.
