The United States of America constitutes the last best hope of Earth. The National Rifle Association of America is the firmest and most dedicated guarantor of liberty in the United States. We have only four million members, where we should have forty million more. Thus it behooves every member to recruit himself one new member at least every year.

The NRA is not perfect (anymore than our army is perfect), but it is our NRA (and our army), and it is up to us to make it better rather than to pick nits. When are you going to defend the 2nd Amendment? Today, or tomorrow- when it's too late! Sign up HERE!

Our Mission Statement: Supporting the 2^nd Amendment - No Apologies

Third-World Policing in Nation's Capital
By Jeff Knox

(June 11, 2009) News reports were somewhat conflicted, but information suggests that officers of the federal Park Police, members of a special, FBI managed, "Safe Streets" taskforce, responded to a report of a "man with a gun," in the Trinidad neighborhood of the District of Columbia at about 8:30 on a recent Monday evening. Witnesses say that the suspect ran into an alley where the plain clothes officers caught him, but a moment later he broke free and tried to run, at which point the officers opened fire, mortally wounding the fleeing suspect in the back. A gun was found at the scene.

This is the same neighborhood in DC where Metro Police have been setting up roadblocks requiring people to prove residency or a "valid reason" before entering the neighborhood.

It seems that local and federal authorities think they're operating in a third-world country rather than the nation's capital.

It is unlikely that such tactics would ever be tolerated in any other city or neighborhood in the US, even Daley's Chicago, but Southeast DC contains the most government dependent population in the country. Even with last June's Supreme Court ruling declaring that DC residents have the right to arms, the mere mention of a gun, it appears, is justification for police to open fire. Witnesses say that the officers shot the man in the back without even yelling for him to stop.

This incident in the Nation's Capital is tragic and deeply disturbing on numerous levels. One of the contributing factors to the current state of affairs is the total lack of personal responsibility and accountability on the part of DC residents. DC is a poster-child for nanny-state micro-management and people control. They spend more money per student than any other public school district in the country and consistently have among the highest drop-out rates and lowest test scores in the nation. They have an extensive array of security cameras, a high tech system for detecting and mapping the sound of gunshots, the strictest gun control laws in the country, and one of the nation's highest violent crime rates.

All in all, the city is an abject failure - a failure of the philosophy and policies the current President is trying to implement nationwide. Will Obama's policies result in similar failure in the rest of the country? Will crime and drop-out rates go through the roof along with unemployment and taxes? It's looking that way so far, but it took decades of mis-micro-management and generations of citizen dependency to sink the District of Columbia to it's current state of dysfunction, helplessness, and hopelessness. Maybe 4 years won't be long enough to sink the whole nation. Maybe some leaders with faith in their fellow man and trust in the free enterprise system will step forward and reinstitute concepts like self-reliance, personal responsibility, and voluntary compassion. Perhaps a return to a republican form of government and a repudiation of government control of everything can reverse the downward spiral, but that will require the people to stand up and reject the siren song of decision free life. Can the poor people of Washington, DC make that stand? Can anything pull them out of their chronic victimhood and oppression? Has the spark of independence and liberty been so drowned out by paternalistic bureaucracy that it can never again be coaxed into flame?

The first step toward liberty and independence is taking responsibility for your own life. The first step in taking responsibility for your own life is to take responsibility for life itself - your own security and the security of your family. Once a person shoulders that responsibility, everything else is just window dressing.

African-Americans have been systematically denied the ability to defend themselves to the point that a significant majority of African-Americans support strict gun control laws aimed at African-Americans. Maybe if they realized that almost all gun control laws are aimed at them they would begin to question their own position.

Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO) has a new video that exposes the racist history of gun control. It's titled, "No Guns for Negroes" and it doesn't pull any punches. The video can be downloaded or watched for free at www.JPFO.org or a DVD of the program can be had for free with a paid membership to JPFO. Maybe this powerful video can spark a renaissance within the African-American community - if they'll watch it. Even if they do watch it, they must first overcome their own prejudice and then that of their families and neighbors. And of course they then have the prejudice of the police to survive.

Excerpt from Nation of Cowards
By Jeff Snyder

     If you believe it reprehensible to possess the means and will to use lethal force to repel a criminal assault, how can you call upon another to do so for you?
     A weapon that really sends shivers down a rapist's spine, the portable cellular phone.
     Law enforcement continues to advise not to resist an attacker, give him what he wants. Crime is rampant because the law abiding condones, encourages, permits and submits to it because we do not fight back immediately when it happens. Crime is rampant because the defect is in our character.
     One who values his life takes his responsibilities and to his family to possess the means of fighting back and not be content to rely solely on others for his safety.
     We must carry arms because we value our lives and do not live at the pleasure of the lawless. Criminals have no respect for our lives when we ourselves do not value our lives enough to assume the responsibility to defend them.
     To own a firearm is to affirm that freedom and liberty are not gifts from the state.
     Implicit in calls for the repeal of the Second Amendment is the assumption that our First Amendment rights are sufficient to preserve our liberty.
     One who believes it wrong to arm himself against criminal violence shows contempt of God's gift of life and does not properly value himself or live up to his responsibilities to his family and becomes an accomplice of violent criminal acts by others.
     Laws disarming honest citizens proclaim that the government is the master, not the servant, of the people.
     "You can have my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hands." While liberals take this statement as evidence that gun owners are violent in nature we hope that liberals hold equally strong sentiments about their printing presses, word processors and television.
     We are often warned about taking the law into our own hands but we live under a government of laws. We all take the law into our own hands, we all act in accordance with and carry out the law. The police are not the law, and we are not the law... so , what's the basis for the privileged status of the police? Why are we told that we cannot do things that they can?
     A people who will renounce the responsibility to defend their own lives-arguably the most fundamental of all responsibilities- and the right to possess and use the means necessary to fulfill that responsibility, have by that very act declared and proved themselves to be irresponsible, fundamentally irresponsible, and thereby justify their treatment by the government as suspect, as people whose worthiness and qualification for rights and privileges must be tested and assured before granted by government.
     If a people will renounce, and cede to their government the very responsibility to protect their own lives, and by extension, those of their loved ones, and the right to own and use the means necessary to fulfill that obligation, then there is nothing, nothing, that they will not cede to the government.

“It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our most gifted and brilliant citizens to edit newspapers” In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late.

Accordingly, I’m readily willing to yield my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I’ll, in turn, do my best for the Cause by writing editorials-after the fact”

Robert E. Lee, 1863

To all Socialists, Marxists, Communists

You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that, my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
