Honoring Our Veterans

This statue  currently stands outside the Iraqi palace, now  home to the 4th Infantry Division. It will  eventually be shipped home and put in the memorial museum in Fort Hood, Texas .  The statue was created by an Iraqi artist named  Kalat, who for years was  forced by Saddam  Hussein to make the many hundreds of bronze busts of Saddam that dotted Baghdad .

Kalat was so grateful for America ‘s liberation of his country; he melted 3 of the  heads of the fallen Saddam and made the statue as a memorial to the American Soldiers                 and their fallen warriors.

Kalat worked on this memorial night and day for several months.

To the left of the kneeling soldier is a  small Iraqi girl giving the soldier comfort as he mourns the loss of his comrade in arms.

CalGuns Asks for Help to Combat Brady Campaign

Unsurprisingly, the Brady Campaign is strongly backing two very extreme anti-rights bills, SB 53(Senator Kevin de León’s Orwellian ammunition purchase and sales restrictions) and SB 755 (Senator Lois Wolk’s outrageous expansion of those categorized as “prohibited persons” who can’t possess or acquire guns or ammunition). They’re asking their supporters to call, write, and fax the Legislature — running a drill on our rights — but we can make sure to give the Legislature something else to consider by sending letters using FPC’s built-in Take Action tools, sending faxes, and keeping the phones ringing off the hook Monday and Tuesday.

Sportsmen Help Drive the Economy

By Glen Wunderlich

For some, it’s hard to comprehend how sportsmen and women – those that hunt and fish – are anything but thieves when it comes to natural resources.  They may see, and unfortunately believe, the rhetoric from the opposition that we are nothing but a bunch of blood-thirsty Neanderthals out for thrills.  Although thrills certainly play a role in what we do, here are some facts from the National Shooting Sports Foundation and Safari Club International that are worth considering.
