Gun-Grabbers Inadvertently Benefit Wildlife

Michigan is eligible to get more than $17 million, up from $12.3 million in 2012 and from 2010 when Michigan received a record $16.1 million in proceeds from federal excise taxes.

Criminals Legally Exempt from Gun Registration
Why should honest, law-abiding citizens cave in to the proposed gun registration scheme being proposed? Consider this: ruled in Haynes vs. U.S. (1968) that convicted felons have a Constitutional right to not register a gun, because to register a gun would be self-incrimination.

Oklahoma’s Sen. Tom Coburn Will Join Senators Voting for Gun Registration
Anti-gun Sen. Charles Schumer’s staff is leaking out to the press the Oklahoma Sen. Tom Coburn is “on the verge” of caving in and agreeing to a ban on private gun sales — and requiring virtually every American to get the government’s approval before exercising their constitutional right to become a gun owner.

Attempt at more Gun Control for Michigan
State Rep. John Townsend (D -Royal Oak) is poised to introduce more gun-control legislation while Republican counterparts Republican counterparts in Lansing have already proposed laws that essentially would exclude Michiganders from similar calls for more gun control from the Obama administration. I just wish Mr. Townsend and others of his ilk, can explain their interpretation of “…shall not be infringed.” Details of the misguided plan are here…
