By: Diane Benjamin . November was not a good month for idiots with guns in the City of Bloomington. Congrats to the Bloomington Police for making two arrests in separate incidents. . Below is a list of incidents I compiled from various sources, I could have easily missed some. The home invasion on 11/9 is […]
By: Diane Benjamin The main job of government is to protect the liberty of its citizens. We EXPECT spending for public safety like Police and Fire. Monday night the police finally get some help. The City of Bloomington found $55,100 to update the police training facility. This facility was allowed to become unusable because it […]

By: Diane Benjamin Stevie, How did Cleveland go? In Ohio, where Open Carry is legal, nothing happened! No dead bodies in the street. No shootouts between Trump and Cruz supporters. Even the New Black Panthers didn’t cause any trouble. Shootings happen where nobody can shoot back. Need a “safe space” dude? I can’t want to […]
By: Diane Benjamin Isn’t heroin illegal Pantagraph? How’s that working out? You just did a series on it! They couldn’t help themselves. Today they called for more gun control. Gun control is nothing more than an attempt to keep guns out of the hands of law-abiding citizens. News Flash: Criminals don’t care what laws you […]
Some Illinois leaders want your guns instead locking up criminals with guns. Criminals will always have guns, law-abiding citizens are the ones at risk: Check out ISRA’s website at http://www.isra.org!

Remember the December incident when one of the speakers at a Diversity Project meeting had a concealed carry gun? Remember the Pantagraph story? http://www.pantagraph.com/news/state-gun-signs-must-comply-to-be-enforceable/article_d5a4fe35-683c-532a-a50b-79d060b4fce1.html John Boch, the person in question and the Executive Director of Guns Save Lives, wrote the Pantagraph a letter. He never received a response from them. I met John this week […]

By: Diane Benjamin I hear the Obama speech from the Oval Office tonight will contain his Executive Action plan to impose gun control. Violating the Constitution has never bothered him, this will be no exception. In honor of his speech, here’s some things I found this week about why the Founder’s instituted the 2nd amendment: […]
By: Diane Benjamin To the Pantagraph Editorial staff: You really need to put your name on Editorials. Citizens have a right to know the name of the person who doesn’t believe in the Constitution. Media was given unfettered rights in the 1st Amendment so liberty and freedom could be debated and defended. You make yourself […]
By: Diane Benjamin Monday night – 6:30 – in front of City Hall. Meet up with April Huber to protest the direction of the City of Bloomington. She will reveal plans for phase two – but ONLY to the people there. Infiltrators will be identified, so I suggest you don’t try it. Now that the […]
By: Diane Benjamin I’m looking at more PCard spending, see yesterday’s post: http://blnnews.com/2014/12/18/eating-on-your-dime-where-potted-plants-come-from/ I had to stop and post this one: P F PETTIBONE AND CO $ 474.75 Printing for “No Guns Allowed” Stickers Congratulations Bloomington taxpayers! You paid to advertise where deranged individuals won’t get any resistance from armed patrons – hunting season is […]
by: Diane Benjamin Several years ago I received a frantic call from a sister-in-law who lives about 2 miles away from me in the country. She was home alone. She heard what she thought was a motorcycle very close to her house. She really believed someone was going to break her door down and attack […]
As a country, we are not to be trifled with or treaded upon… A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion: There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin .. Allow me to restate that number: 600,000! Over the […]
Have you seen the news coverage? Citizens are in the streets protesting because their leadership wants to partner with Russia instead of Europe. They demand Freedom, not being under Russia’s thumb. Have you noticed how they are fighting back? Burning tires in the streets to stop the police and throwing rocks and bricks. They made […]

Progressives know too many people in this country value the 2nd Amendment. These same people know they have a RIGHT to protect themselves. They also know the police can’t protect us from armed intruders and the mentally ill wanting to kill. If you don’t want to defend yourself and would rather cower in a corner […]
Mayor Chris Koos is (was?) a member of Mayors Against Illegal Guns. I wonder if there is a Pro-illegal gun mayors group? Anyway, Judicial Watch just filed suit against them. If Koos hasn’t quit yet, he should. Only a kool-aid drinker would think the group was legit! JW Sues Mayor Bloomberg for Documents on his […]
by: Diane Benjamin Last weekend, if you paid attention to the news, the big story was Muslim Extremists attacking a shopping mall in Kenya. The group taking blame is al Shabaab, a group aligned with Al Qaeda. Today the story turned to this same group entering this country illegally through Mexico to recruit more jihadists. […]
by: Diane Benjamin Check the book they are using. If it is authored by John J. Newman and John Schmalbach, you have a problem. These 2 re-wrote the 1st and 2nd Amendments to say what progressives want them to say. There is NOTHING in the Constitution about separation of Church and State. The 2nd Amendment does […]
By Editor-in-Chief on August 7, 2013 Illinois Conservative Examiner Gun control advocates think only a conspiracy theorist would believe that confiscation of firearms follows gun registration. “No one’s coming for your guns,” they say with a wry smile. As we know, registration is simply a way for the authorities to keep track of all “law-abiding” […]
BY: ANTHONY MARTIN A group of 160 citizens, many if not most of whom were armed, confronted government officials Tuesday who had attempted to have a wounded Army veteran kicked out of a meeting due to the fact that he carried a gun. The veteran has a state license for concealed carry, which means that he […]
No mention of concealed carry? No, the police is there for you. The 2nd amendment must mean call the police, you aren’t able to defend yourself. History shows attacks stop when the thugs don’t know who is ready and able to defend themselves. Check the crime rates in Florida after concealed carry was passed. […]
Saying ”zero tolerance” school policies that punish young children for innocent play “create irrational fear of imaginary objects,” U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, on July 9 introduced a bill that would block federal funding for schools with policies he says constitute abuse. Academics have been operating a vicious campaign against our children in this nation’s […]
Only 25 seconds!

Chicago Democrats still believe in dis-arming citizens. More people die as they fail to go after the gangs! The Windy City reached a grim milestone over the long Fourth of July weekend as the city’s homicide rate surpassed 200. The city logged its 200th homicide of the year on Saturday when a 24-year-old man was shot […]

Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw. Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor […]
(Chris Koos: ready to drop your membership yet?) With billions of dollars in wealth, Michael Bloomberg still has to rely on the people of New York City to fund his anti-gun website. My parents always taught me that stealing is stealing. Whether it is a gumball or a brand new Mercedes does not matter. I […]

2 minutes that WILL change your mind if you think 8 bullets is enough.
Justice Department data shows massive decease in firearms homicides New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg has not made a peep about gun control since news came out that firearms-related deaths were way down. President Obama has ignored it and continued to pursue more gun-control laws. Their reaction shows how this news screws up their agenda to […]
The House was debating the “may issue” proposal in the concealed carry law when Rep. Bost lost his cool. The proposal would allow sheriffs to decide whether a citizen has a legitimate reason to carry a gun. On the House floor in Springfield April 17th: The next day, all Republicans has “Constitutional Scholar” taped to […]
Over the weekend, a baseball game between two of Chicago’s best public high schools was canceled because parents with kids at a school on the North Side refused to allow their children to play about 15 miles away at a South Side school. The game was to be part of a two-stop, day-night doubleheader on Saturday for […]
The Pantagraph is well known as a left wing paper, maybe that’s why subscribers have left in droves and anything they report is questionable. Lately the editorial page is on a campaign against the NRA, guns, and the 2nd amendment. Dick Durbin would be proud. The NRA was founded in 1871. From the NRA website: Dismayed by […]
Jeers to the Pantagraph for printing a Chicago Tribune editorial titled: “Gun decision was a vote for violence” Pardon, your left wing ideology is on display again! A complete explanation of why the article is insane isn’t necessary for thinking people, but a little information is: The article is chocked full of polls saying the America people […]
by: Diane Benjamin My husband sent a renewal request for his FOID card 12/28/2012. The check was cashed 1/24/2013. I emailed them 3/7/2013 asking for the status. Received an email 3/19: “Your background is being reviewed. You should hear something soon.” The card was finally received April 19th! Since my husband doesn’t have a background to check, maybe the state […]
