Another move is afoot in Michigan to allow concealed pistols in “gun-free zones”. Supporters appear to have given facilities an opt-out provision – one which was missing when Governor Snyder vetoed similar legislation at the end of last year. More here…
I can hear the libs screaming from Lansing already.
Now the liberals are pressing for banks not to do business with gun manufacturers. So, here we have Washington using tax dollars to support businesses that go bankrupt, while Democrat leaders attempt to run successful, legal busineeses into the ground. More here…
In a Fox News survey, two-thirds of Americans said they would “defy” a federal gun ban and keep their guns if the government ever passed a law to “take your guns.”
The survey asked respondents, “If the government passed a law to take your guns, would you give up your guns or defy the law and keep your guns?”
Sixty-five percent of those surveyed said they would “defy the law.” Specifically, 70% of Republicans, 68% of conservatives, 52% of Democrats, and 59% of liberals said they would “defy” a federal gun ban to keep their guns.
The poll surveyed 1,008 registered U.S. voters between Jan. 15-17.
A woman with twin daughters taught an intruder she was nobody to mess with. The bad guy searched for her and when he opened a door to a crawl space where she was hiding with the girls, she opened fire. The six-shooter was emptied with five bullets hitting their mark. The scumbag tried to escape but crashed his car and collapsed. When the police arrived he cried for them to help him. So sad. Details of the encounter are here…
FAIRFAX, Va. – The National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action conducted a national scientific poll of its members and found near unanimity among NRA members on a wide range of issues involving mental health reform and firearm rights.
Gun control advocates including New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, as well as various media outlets, have released data claiming to represent the views of NRA members, despite the fact that none of those surveys had access to the NRA’s membership list. The NRA survey of 1,000 randomly-selected NRA members across the country is the only legitimate survey of NRA members in existence. Read more
There’s an interesting new proposed law in New Hampshire that would require people who have filmed cruelty to livestock to give the footage to authorities within 24 hours. Is this a good idea? We think so. But the Humane Society of the United States and other vegan animal rights groups are up in arms.
Instead of doing what’s best for animals in the case of cruelty, animal acitivists build a case through any means necessary, and in effect, delay response time by authorities. More here…
Another Out-of-State Group Tries to Hijack Michigan’s Ballot
LANSING –The president of one of the most radical animal rights organizations in the country popped up in Lansing Tuesday to announce a coalition circulating a petition to put PA 520 of 2012 – also known as the Wolf Management Law – on the 2014 ballot as a referendum.
Wayne Pacelle, President of the Humane Society of the United States (not to be confused with your local animal shelter), said the thought of wolves being trapped or hunted “really appalls” him during a press conference at the Capitol. The coalition calls itself “Keep Michigan Wolves Protected” and seeks to collect 225,000 signatures by the end of March to put the referendum on the 2014 ballot. If it collects enough signatures, Public Act 520 would be placed on the ballot in November of 2014. Pacelle was also quoted in MIRS News as saying, “Our hope is if we can win here in Michigan, we can address the . . . killing of wolves in other states as well.” Read more
