Vote for the "Flashbang" bra alone! If I dated a girl and she had one of those I think I would ask her to marry me right then and there.

Too bad they couldn't find a reporter who knew anything about guns and didn't try to be so subtle about being anti himself.Right out of the gate at 1:14 of the piece they refer to a "22 gauge shotgun". At 6:18 they call her semi-automatic pistol a "22 gauge" as well. Where can I get this magic gauge that suits both shotguns and pistols?

Love the anti, it's better for the child to have an experience at the hands of a home invader than it is to defend against the home invader.

GOA Bringing Pro-gun Victim to Testify Before Congress on Monday

Stockton, CA survivor to explain the dangers of gun-free zonesRemember Patrick Purdy?  He became a household name on January 17, 1989, when he perpetrated what was, up till then, the worst elementary school shooting up to that time.On that date, five innocent childrenlost their lives in Stockton, California, and 27 children were injured.Well, Rob Young was one of the children who were injured. Today he is a sworn lawenforcement officer in the state of California. But unlike politically-appointed police chiefs who are in the news calling for tougher gun legislation, Rob has a different message.You see, Rob supports the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, and he is opposed to gun control!And that’s why Gun Owners of America is flying Rob Young to DC so that he can explain to Congress the dangers that gun-free zones pose.  Officer Young has firsthand experience in this area, and he knows the dangers of disarming law-abiding citizens.Moreover, Officer Young supports Rep. Steve Stockman’s legislation (H.R. 35) to repeal the gun-free zones that are currently preventing principals and teachers fromprotecting students.Liberal media pundits are trying to convince Republicans that only strategy for defeating the worst of Obama’s anti-gun proposals is toaccept other gun control items on Obama’s menu.  Sadly, this is the strategy of Neville Chamberlain that, if we give more and more ground, then the “other side” will eventually back off.But appeasement failed in the 1930’s and 1940’s, and it still doesn’t work today.  If we are going to defeat the gun control legislation that before Congress, we need to push forward solutions that will make the “other side” back off. We shouldn’t be negotiating on Obama’s terms.  If anti-gunners are going to try to ram gun control down our throats -- in violation of the Constitution -- the best defense is to force them, instead, to swallow some of our proposals (whichwill actually work).That’s why Rep. Stockman’s bill (H.R. 35) is so important.GOA Executive Director Larry Pratt, who twicedemolished CNN’s Piers Morgan in heated debates recently, will address the crowd on Monday and make a strong case for passing H.R. 35.  GOA's Vice Chairman Tim Macy will also speak and will be introducing Officer Rob Young to the Congress.ACTION: Please click here to urge your Representative (and staff) to attend this important symposium on Monday.  Moreover, ask him or her to cosponsor H.R. 35, the Safe Schools Act of 2013.Pleasenote that there are two different action responses for you to send, and the system will automatically send that response, depending upon whether your Representative is a Republican orDemocrat.

Fed Inflating Bubbles in Stock, Housing Markets

The Federal Reserve’s massive easing program is creating bubbles in the stock and housing markets, says economist, investment banker and "Currency Wars" author James Rickards.

“Equity prices are higher, housing prices are higher, but they’re higher for the wrong reason,” Rickards tells Newsmax TV in an exclusive interview. “They’re higher because of money printing. In other words, these are new asset bubbles forming.”

Major stock indices touched five-year highs Tuesday, and home prices, as measured by the S&P/Case-Shiller 20-city index, rose by the most in six years during the 12 months ended in November.

Governor Holden’s Corrupt Promised Land

To contact us Click HERE

My Great, Great Grandfather Bartholomew Figures Moore, Father of the NC Bar, On Governor Holden  
"Holden's impeachment is demanded by a sense of public virtue and due regard to the honor of the state. He is an exceedingly corrupt man and ought to be placed before the people as a public example of a tyrant condemned and punished."
=================================
After the military overthrow of North Carolina’s government in 1865, political opportunist William Woods Holden was appointed provisional governor by Andrew Johnson. An organizer of the Republican party in the State, he assumed the governor’s chair in 1868 through election corruption and disenfranchisement of white North Carolina citizens. Holden biographer William C. Harris wrote: “Most contemporaries characterized Holden as a bitter, unscrupulous, and arrogant demagogue who frequently changed his political stripes to advance his own ambitions.”
Bernhard Thuersam, ChairmanNorth Carolina War Between the States Sesquicentennial Commissionwww.ncwbts150.com "The Official Website of the North Carolina WBTS Sesquicentennial"
Governor Holden’s Corrupt Promised Land:
“Governor Holden in his inaugural address laid down the doctrine that no part in government should be played by those who had opposed reconstruction. He then advocated and threatened the use of force by the State administration. These two ideas, with his defense of the carpetbaggers, were prophetic of the character of his administration, for it was bitterly partisan throughout, force was employed to uphold it, and it was entirely controlled by carpetbaggers. 
With the one exception of John Pool, who was, throughout his administration, his evil genius, no one had any such upon him as was exerted by the corrupt gang of aliens who infested the State and surrounded him.  All played on his ambition, and there lay his most fatal weakness. Into their hands he committed his future, believing that high national honors were soon to be his, and the result was not only disastrous to himself, but well-nigh ruinous to the State.
The first matter to receive the attention of the governor was, as was to be expected, the filling of such offices as lay within his gift.  [The] governor busied himself with the appointments, keeping clearly in mind their political value, and taking care that the Negroes obtained their full share of these cheap honors. 
The office of magistrate in North Carolina had always been one of honor and importance. It now became a by-word and a reproach.  Governor Holden’s appointments were notoriously poor and, in the main, the white men appointed were not much more fitted to discharge the duties of the office than were the Negroes. Hundreds of them could not read or write and prisoners often had to make out the papers to which the justice laboriously affixed his mark.  Much of the later trouble in the administration of justice was due to these ignorant and often corrupt appointees of the governor. 
The towns next won the governor’s attention and, without any authority, he commenced the appointment of mayors and commissioners of the various towns of the State. The municipal officers of Raleigh refused to yield to the new [city] administration which was headed by the governor’s brother-in-law. The governor then telegraphed to General Canby for a military force to seat his appointees. The next day he wired for the necessary force to oust the sheriff of New Hanover who had also declined to recognize an appointee of the governor. The sheriffs of Granville, Randolph, and other counties refused to and in every case military force was employed.
It was not a favorable outlook for North Carolina, though the real evils of Reconstruction were scarcely dreamed of. The leaders of [Holden’s Republican] party were holding back until the presidential election should be won, when they would be safe from unfriendly interference by the national government. To that time they looked forward with more eagerness than any slave had ever hoped for freedom and with more longing than any weary Hebrew had ever felt for the Promised Land.”
(Reconstruction in North Carolina, Joseph G. deR. Hamilton, 1914, excerpts, pp. 343-349) 

GOA Alert: Urge Your Congressman to Sign the Stockman-Broun letter

To contact us Click HERE

                                  We’ve seenthis happen a dozen times in the past 45 years:  Anti-gunners introduce legislation to ban most guns or set up a national gun registry.  And, too often, so-called “pro-gun” legislators negotiate a “compromise victory” for gun control advocates.   Of course, the “compromise victory” merely serves as a platform for the next round of gun control demands. We’re here to say:  Enough! Enough!   We’re sick and tired of having our congressmen parse our survival with enemies who want to destroy us: * In the Senate, Tom Coburn (R-OK) is, sadly, working on gun control “compromise” with the most notorious gun grabber inthe Senate -- none other than Chuck Schumer himself. * In the House, Congressmen like Paul Ryan (R-WY) have indicated that they might support a ban on private sales at gun shows -- stating that private gun buyers should first get the permission of the government (as if that would stop criminals from getting guns). This is outrageous and a betrayal of American gun owners!  Gun control would do nothing to stop the shootings in Newtown, Aurora, and Tucson.  And we’re sick and tired of crooked politicians who want to exploit these tragedies for politicalgain. The very liberal and anti-gun Ed Rendell -- who is the former Democrat Governor of Pennsylvania -- summed it up pretty well when he said anti-gunners were “lucky” Newtown was so horrific. If a conservative said this about an act of terror, there would be a national uproar. But liberals say these things with impunity. We are not willing to give moral monstrosities like Rendell a single word of anti-gun law. And the way to stop it is for pro-gun Congressmen to sign the Stockman-Broun letter, whichwould petition the Speaker of the House to observe the “Hastert Rule” with respect to anti-gun legislation.   Under the Hastert Rule, no gun control could be brought to the floor unless it was supported by a majority of the Republican caucus -– 117 Republican representatives.     As we stated in a previous alert, we believe thatgun control should die if only one constitutionalist-representative opposes it -- or even if none do.  But, as a practical matter, if 117 congressmen sign a letter demanding thatBoehner not bring up a gun control bill opposed by those 117 congressmen, gun control will die.  Without that letter, Democrats will join with anti-gun Republicans, and gun control will pass. Enforcing the Hastert Rule would prevent MSNBC and the Obama administration from doing what it has discussed incessantly:  Forming an anti-gun coalition between House Democrats and a handful of “blue state” Republicans, who would be picked off, one by one.   The Republicans hold a majority in the House.  We should encourage them to“man up” and start determining the agenda, and not let the anti-gun Democrats determine it! ACTION:  Click here to contact your Representative.  Urge him to sign the Stockman-Broun letter.  Please note that there are two different action responses for you to send, and the system will automatically send thatresponse, depending upon whether your congressman is a Republican or Democrat.

GRNC Alert 2-20-13 Hagan calls for registering private gun sales

Tells gun control extremist Chris Fitzsimon what he wants to hear…

 

Demonstrating poor judgment characteristic of an anti-freedom politician who earned only a GRNC 1-star evaluation, Senator Kay Haganrecently gave a radio interview with left-wing activist, Chris Fitzsimon, Director of NC Policy Watch, a “progressive” policyorganization.

During this ranging interview, which turns to guncontrol at about six minutes, Hagan made clear her support of expanded background checks that are a key part of the Obama/Biden/Feinstein gun ban.Hagan claims such checks represent a “positive move” toward keeping “guns out of criminals’ hands”.
What “universal background checks” actually are is a mechanism for gun registration, the necessary prelude toconfiscation. Usefulness of such checks in stopping crime is vanishingly rare. According to economist and social scientist John Lott,Jr., purchases prevented by the current NICS system are almost always false-positives, serving only to harass and hinder thelaw-abiding.
Sen. Hagan clearly needs tobe reminded that NC gun owners will tolerate NO COMPROMISE with Obama’s gun ban.
