Anti-Gunners’ Trinity: Private Gun Sale Bans, Gun Bans, Magazine Bans

While banning guns and magazines is being actively promoted by the anti-gunners (as evidenced by introduction of Sen. Feinstein’s S. 150), the criminalization of private firearm transfers is the centerpiece of their anti-Second Amendment efforts.  This is part of a strategy to chip away at our Second Amendment rights under the guise of being “reasonable.” But if you understand exactly what the anti-gunners are really talking about, you’ll understand that the restrictions they’re proposing are anything but reasonable.

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.

Ithaca, N.Y.-What kind of finch might turn up in your back yard this year? The 2013 invasion (or “irruption”) of finch species that typically spend most of their time farther north in Canada is raising ornithological eyebrows. How big is this movement of birds? Getting reports from citizen bird watchers is the only way to find the answer, so the call is out for more participants in Project FeederWatch, a joint project of Cornell Lab of Ornithology and Bird Studies Canada.
