Life with ISIS Is Here; It Is Time to Become the Heroes We Need
By Jason Van Tatenhove
Now is the time to change how we live and think; courtesy of the Oath keepers Oath KeepersUnited States -(AmmoLand.com)- We, awake, aware, free-thinking individuals, have known for quite some time that it hasn’t been a question of “if” an ISIS attack will happen in the US, but rather, “when” will this attack happen?
The answer to that question came sooner than any of us would have imagined. It was with bitter disgust that I listened to the scene unfold on the radio as we took our monthly resupply run down the mountain, back to civilization and the wholesale...

So-called ‘Terror Watchlist’ Gun Ban Poses Greatest Danger of Any Current Proposal
By David Codrea
Guess who Obama wants to put on his ‘terror watchlist.’USA – -(Ammoland.com)-“Right now, people on the No-Fly list can walk into a store and buy a gun,” Barack Obama told the country as he attempted to find a scapegoat for his Homeland Security Department totally blowing letting the “better half” of the San Bernardino terror tag team into the country. “That is insane.
“If you’re too dangerous to board a plane, you’re too dangerous, by definition, to buy a gun,” Obama explained, continuing with misdirection about killer “motives” and setting the stage, naturally, for further infringements of the Second Amendment. “And so I’m calling on Congress...
Gun Laws We Follow.. and Gun Laws We Ignore
By Rob Morse
Slow FactsLouisiana- (Ammoland.com)- Ireland, and later India, were once under British rule. At one point in their rebellions, they ignored the outside laws they didn’t like. We are doing that again in the United States. It is hard for me to imagine gun owners breaking the law. Once you’ve been around the gun culture for a while you learn that licensed gun owners are the rule-following type. Many gun owners would like to follow the law all the time, but they can’t. Gun owners are not alone. Neither the lawyers nor the judges who work with firearms law every day can keep up with the 23 thousand gun laws. Breaking our gun laws is more than a matter of ignorance. The very prosecutors charged with enforcing our firearms laws routinely ignore them as well. On second consideration, the government lawyers ignore far more firearms laws than do gun owners. I’ll start with gun owners first.
