Therefore we urge our fans, friends and customers to join the NRA and support their fight to protect the freedoms that we have been blessed with. To show our support and dedication for this incredibly important cause we chose to donate a percentage of our sales to the NRA. |

quick stop into the grocery store last week turned into more than what one local man was looking for, when he found himself faced with a potentially life versus death scenario at a local Aldi store. While standing in the checkout line, Nazir Al-Mujaahid says that he saw a man with a shotgun pointed at a cashier, demanding money. He also saw an unarmed security guard helpless with his hands up. |

Vice President Joe Biden said Friday that �at least five senators� have called him looking for a way to change their votes to support expanded background checks.
Speaking to the U.S. Conference of Mayors in Las Vegas, Biden said the 45 senators who voted to block the background checks deal brokered by Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) have seen �the bottom fall out� of their approval ratings.
Biden said, as he did Tuesday during a gun violence event at the White House, that he has been fielding calls from senators interested in signing on to some kind of gun control measure. On Friday he offered slightly more specific detail about the number of senators and the difficult path ahead for gun control legislation.

(Reuters) - The Syrian boys looked edgy and awkward. Three months ago their town, the eastern desert city of Raqqa, had fallen to rebel fighters trying to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad's government. Now the four boys - clad in tight jeans and bright T-shirts - were whitewashing a wall to prepare it for revolutionary graffiti.
"We'll make this painting about the role of children in the revolution," one of the boys told two journalists.

Less than a week after Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy signed gun restrictions into law in April, gun manufacturer PTR Industries said it intended to leave the state to avoid the damage it expected to be inflicted on its business.
On Wednesday, the rifle manufacturer kept its promise, announcing it will move to Aynor, S.C.
�One hundred percent of our product line is now illegal in Connecticut due to that law,� said John McNamara, the company�s vice president for sales.
He offered few details of the relocation, saying that a formal announcement and ribbon-cutting are scheduled for Monday at the new site. Most of the company�s 41 workers will relocate and the labor force is expected to expand to 100 within a year, McNamara said. |

You hold your SafePacker in your hand as you walk to your car. You enter the car and pull your seatbelt across your body, undo the SafePacker's strap and attach it to your seatbelt so that it puts your gun where you can get to it easily while driving. After a few hours of driving you stop for a bite to eat. You remove your SafePacker and attach it to a shoulder strap and wear it across your body as you exit your car and head for Denny's. You eat and hit the road again with your SafePacker back on your seatbelt. Pulling into the parking lot of the cheap motel you are staying at, you spy some guys hanging out in the shadows drinking beer. |

There's no word on whether Elizabeth Vargas had to receive smelling salts during her interview of Madonna which appeared on "Good Morning America." But it wouldn't be a surprise if she did.
When the ABC reporter, whose interview was relayed by the network's Sabrina Parise and posted at Yahoo.com, questioned the diva's use of gun choreography in her current tour's stage show, she certainly expected a robust defense. But she probably didn't expect a trip into the land of the Second Amendment. Nonetheless, that's what happened (video follows with transcribed highlights and commentary; HT Hot Air; bolds are mine):

In the aftermath of the presidential election and the Newtown shooting, gun sellers reported they couldn�t keep their wares in stock.
Six months later, shelves are still relatively bare at Topeka gun stores, and owners aren�t sure when that might change.
Alan Taylor, manager of High Plains Gun Shop, 11110 US-40 highway, said handguns and the ammunition that goes with them are still difficult to keep in stock. Shipments are smaller than they normally would be, he said, and customers are still stocking up.

TALLAHASSEE _ Gov. Rick Scott is being flooded with calls and emails about a bill that would stop some gun sales, and whichever course he chooses could be risky as he runs for re-election.
The measure (HB 1355) would block gun sales to some people who voluntarily admit themselves for mental-health treatment. It�s backed by the National Rifle Association�s Marion Hammer, one of the best-known gun-rights advocates in the country. That made her all the more effective at helping to pass the measure.

Without warning, the state Senate approved a bill early Friday morning that would exempt retired law enforcement officers from new ammunition restrictions in New York�s new gun control law, the SAFE Act.
The measure sprang onto the chamber floor shortly before 2 a.m., and drew howls from some of the GOP�s Republican members. Roughly half of them � including Sens. Kathy Marchione, R-Halfmoon and Hugh Farley, R-Niskayuna � voted against the legislation, generally citing disgust with the process and a desire that the SAFE Act be repealed in its entirety. |
