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.

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 […]
Mark Kirk sent the following email after his YES vote for a gun control bill that failed yesterday in the US Senate: Dear Friends, Last week, I met with Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy who highlighted an unfortunate statistic: 40 percent of guns were purchased without a background check.

The communist radical Van Jones isn’t giving up on taking all your guns away. His dream is government control of everything and you being armed makes that difficult. The 2nd Amendment is a big obstacle to the agenda. He speaks about magazine bans and background checks, but look closer. The posters shown on the links below show the real agenda. He […]

Mr. President, As a student who was shot and wounded during the Columbine massacre, I have a few thoughts on the current gun debate. In regards to your gun control initiatives: Universal Background Checks First, a universal background check will have many devastating effects. It will arguably have the opposite impact of what you propose. […]

Tuesday morning, many in the media went all in with a sanctimonious attack against gun-rights supporters, whom they accused of heckling Neil Heslin, the parent of a six-year-old boy murdered in the Sandy Hook massacre. The only problem is that it was all a lie. Mr. Heslin was not heckled. If you look at the full, unedited tape […]

Guess who is on the list! First line: “As mayors, our highest responsibility is to enforce the law and to protect the people we serve.” I thought the police did that. The County Sheriff is the ultimate law enforcer in the County. Mayors? Since Bloomington isn’t on the list, is Mayor Stockton for illegal guns? Maybe he […]

Will the U.S. soon face a critical situation in which the federal government– primarily the Department of Homeland Security – possesses an ammunition surplus while local and state authorities face ammunition shortages and backlogs in purchasing more rounds?

Subject: Fw: NEA Education Insider: No More Gun Violence! Here is my response to the NEA. I am sooooo pissed off.

Why Carry a Gun? My old grandpa said to me ‘Son, there comes a time in every man’s life when he stops bustin’ knuckles and starts bustin’ caps and usually it’s when he becomes too old to take an ass whoopin.’ I don’t carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from […]
MoveOn.org sends multiple lie filled emails a week – the low information voters fall for them as evidenced by the last election. They actually believe they have a good chance of banning guns now.
