Op-Ed: Stop This Man

By Ted Nugent One sector of the American economy that is booming is the absolute orgy of guns and ammunition sales.

Day 1: President Obama officially declares war on your guns!

Within minutes of being sworn in yesterday, Obama posted a new White House website announcing the administration's declaration of war on American gun owners.

They've been hiding for years, but Washington's gun ban extremists are baaaack

"History will be kind to me for I intend to write it." - Winston Churchill By Chad D. Baus In March 2008, a Gallup poll found that an overwhelming majority of the United States public—73%—believes that the Second Amendment guarantees the right of Americans to own firearms.
