Killing the Killers

By Glen Wunderlich

Last spring, while on a walk within a few hundred yards of my home, I came across a dreadful sight:  two tiny deer legs and feet.  The scant remnants of a new-born fawn were all that were left after a fresh coyote kill. Just because it’s nature’s way, doesn’t mean I have to like it.  And, I don’t.

The mental picture of a totally defenseless fawn being ripped to shreds while alive conjures up disdain for the indiscriminate killer(s).  Now is the time to even up the score. Read more

Michigan Has Surplus Cash

Preliminary figures show the state of Michigan ended the 2012 fiscal year with fund balances of more than $1.2 billion, including a $1 billion surplus in the state’s general fund, according to a Senate Fiscal Agency report Thursday.

Say what you want about the current state government, but under past Governor Granholm, this never happened – much like the present federal government.  Heck, our national leaders don’t even have a budget and haven’t for four years.  At least that way, they can’t go over budget.  What a concept!  Genius they are.

More Window Dressing for Chicago

Chicago has big trouble with violence, yet has the most stringent gun control laws in the nation.  The answer:  more gun control.  Its  Public Health Committee of the state Senate quickly approved bills that  would ban the sale of semi-automatic firearms and high-capacity magazines during  the lame-duck session, but it seems to be going nowhere.  We all know, however, that the results of the bill will go nowhere in preventing its citizens from perpetrating evil.  Much like the failed war on drugs, there cannot be control without addressing demand.  And, in this case the “demand” is that crime pays.

Feinstein’s New Gun-Ban Bill Likely to be Introduced January 22

Contact your members of Congress and urge them to oppose any “assault weapon” or magazine ban


Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.)–author of the federal “assault weapon” and “large” ammunition magazine ban of 1994-2004–has said for weeks that she will soon introduce an even more restrictive bill.  Leaders in the U.S. Senate have stated that January 22 will be the first day on which new Senate legislation can be proposed, so that is the most likely date for the new, sweeping legislation to be introduced.
On Dec. 17th, Feinstein said, “I have been working with my staff for over a year on this legislation” and “It will be carefully focused.”  Indicating the depth of her research on the issue, she said on Dec. 21st that she had personally looked at pictures of guns in 1993, and again in 2012.

Israeli Magazine Factory Running Round-the-Clock to Provide AR-15 Mags to the US

FARMINGDALE, New York – Fears about future changes to US firearms laws have consumers scrambling to purchase popular semi-auto sporting rifles and standard-capacity magazines for those rifles.  With almost all magazines out of stock at retailers in the US, and prices often reaching 1,000 percent above standard retail pricing, an Israeli manufacturer has increased production to help mitigate the magazine shortage.
The E-Lander factory has transitioned to round-the-clock shifts to maximize AR-15 magazine production, shipping pallets of magazines to the US importer, The Mako Group, several times each week. Read more

The Dirty Dozen

There are groups that undermine and manipulate systems across America to end hunting, trapping and fishing. These same “less-than-honest” groups also often then exploit wildlife and conservation issues in the name of raising dollars for their devious causes. Here are a dozen organizations that have taken efforts in the past year to prevent you from hunting or trapping: Read more
