Mon, 11/16/2015 - 17:54

By Pat Buchanan

ISIS Flag Cross Hairs Patrick J .Buchanan

USA –  -(Ammoland.com)- Among the presidential candidates of the Republican Party and their foreign policy leaders on Capitol Hill the cry is almost universal:

Barack Obama has no strategy for winning the war on ISIS.

This criticism, however, sounds strange coming from a party that controls Congress but has yet to devise its own strategy, or even to authorize the use of U.S. military force in Syria.

Congress has punted. And compared to the cacophony from Republican ranks, Barack Obama sounds like Prince...

20 Years and Millions of “Assault Weapons” and “Large” Magazines Ago… NRA – Institute for Legislative Action

Fairfax, VA -(AmmoLand.com)- Twenty years ago, not long after Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-Calif.) federal “assault weapon” and “large” magazine “ban” took effect, CBS 60 Minutes reporter Lesley Stahl faced a dilemma.

To help Feinstein make her case for a new ban that would cover more types of guns and more magazines, CBS would have to do something that doesn’t come naturally to gun control supporters. It would have to tell the truth.

The network hadn’t...

Why Record Guns Sales are Not Showing in National Gun Ownership Polls

Mon, 11/16/2015 - 15:37

Dean Weingarten

Arizona – -(Ammoland.com)- Gun sales are at record levels.  In the last six months, gun sales, as reflected by the National Instant Check system, have hit record highs for each of the six months.  It is almost certain that 2015 will be the highest year on record for private gun sales in the United States.  But when national polls ask how many households own guns, the numbers appear to be the same or dropping.  How do we reconcile this seeming...

ballistic fingerprinting NRA – Institute for Legislative Action

Fairfax, VA -(AmmoLand.com)- Carnival-goers are familiar with the shell game, a swindle in which a ball is hidden under one of three or more “shells” and shuffled by the operator.

The rube wagers on which of the “shells” holds the ball, and if the guess is wrong, the gambler can throw more money away on another try.

For years, politicians in Maryland have been funding a “ballistic fingerprinting” program, the Maryland Integrated Ballistics Identification System (MD-IBIS), only to repeal the authorizing law this year after an estimated $5...

Fairfax, VA -(AmmoLand.com)- If there was a message I could get to every NRA member and lawful gun owner in America, it would be this: The 2016 election is under way and the stakes couldn’t be higher, so we have to get involved and go to work now!

For most Americans, odd-numbered years are not election years. We get a rest from the barrage of political ads, the omnipresent campaign signs and the never-ending coverage of local and national races by the news media. But this year, we can’t wait to get moving on 2016.
