If D.C. is allowed to do this, how long before our Commonwealth tries it? :: 11/22/2013

This simply cannot happen. Coming soon to a State you live in?

Know your enemy. There are millions of them. :: 11/22/2013

Elliot Fineman (trust us, he's far from being a "fine man"), tells us that for every 1 gun activist, there are 100 clear thinking anti-gunners. Of course, a complicit media prints this tripe, and expects us to believe it. Dick Metcalf is going to be the poster boy for "divisiveness among gun activists". Wrong! Metcalf expressed an opinion in a commercial publication that pro gunners look to for guidance, and while his intentions may have been O.K., his comment got him sacked. There is no shortage of folks who lost their job because they didn't sing the company song, and the companies and enterprises they worked for are diverse. Read the article, and ask, "where in the world do guys like Fineman, or CeaseFirePA get their statistics?" We think they pull them out of thin air.

Militarization of Police Forces? Why? :: 11/22/2013

Perhaps its not as insidious and darkly secret as you think. As the current administration neuters our Armed Forces, they're being careful not to kill the Defense industry. Even they understand that we MUST keep ability to produce arms, tanks, MRAPS, ammo, MRE's, and uniforms in place. Like it or don't, we'll be in a shooting war soon enough with a new enemy of Freedom, and we just can't cut the supply lines.

Doctors are trained in medicine, not statistics. Even the CDC disputes the latest "study" by doctors. :: 11/20/2013

Licenses to Carry are on the increase in California? :: 11/20/2013

Seems the citizens in California have awoken, and filed several suits against Sherriffs who simply wish to make up their own laws. Those suits have resulted in more approvals, but of course the anti gunners have their own spin on the lawsuits. In their mind, obeying the Constitution is bad, perhaps even evil.

You want me to pay YOU for the return of MY gun? :: 11/20/2013

Seems this fellow in Cleveland is not caving in to oppressive government. Indeed, he's gone to Federal Court to seek redress of a grievance. See how nicely the Bill of Rights is tied together? The 4th, 1st, and 2nd Amendments are all very apparent. Please read and see what you think.

Does contacting State Government really do anything?" :: 11/18/2013

"Yes it does-and here's a response from State Representative Stephen Bloom from the 199th District. We applauded his resistance to universal background checks, and he replied.

Here's a really easy way to promote FOAC. :: 11/18/2013

Social media is not going to go away. We don't use it enough, but if everyone who reads this article "likes" www.facebook.com/foacpac which is our Official FOAC Facebook page, and then shares it on their own timeline and with a few friends, we could have a million folks watching our Facebook page in no time. Will you help? It only takes a few seconds. Don't forget to save www.facebook.com/foacpac on your Favorites directory, too.

Why Bloomberg is a LIABILITY FOR POLITICIANS. Pennsylvania Legislature, take note. :: 11/18/2013

Bloomberg has lost another battle in his war to be King of the World. Sorry, Boombox, but a big mouth and lots of money does NOT trump common sense, Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Come January, you can scratch Chambersburg, PA from the MAIG rolls.

Toomey - Manchin all over again, this time with Peter King :: 11/16/2013

We think that making sure you sell your gun to a non prohibited person is smart. We always ask for I.D., and especially a License to Carry Firearms. We sell long guns as private citizens, and use a short bill of sale, and insist that the buyer signs offthat he is not a prohibited person,and handguns with the help of a local FFL. If these dim bulbs are so keen on mandatory universal background checks, give We the People access to NICS. Problem solved! Of course that would be way too easy, andin Foggy Bottom there's no way they'll take the easy way. Wake up, King. Bad guys aren't going to obey any new law. Not ONE! Call Your congress-critters today.

Metcalfe is a bully? Why, because he wants to reign in the AG? :: 11/15/2013

This is an ACTION ALERT. Please get the word out to your State Rep and State Senator that Representative Metcalfe needs their support. AG Kane is a loose cannon on the deck, and is certainly not a friend to gun owners.

State Department Travel Warnings :: 11/15/2013

No, not OUR State Department, but rather State Departments from around the world warning their citizens about visiting the United States. You only need to scroll down to Pittsburgh (yep, we made the list) to help you connect the dots and see the big picture in the USA. "Troubling" doesn't even begin to describe what's going on right here at home. We've published enough articles on revolving door justice. What do you think? Are these warnings valid?

How can we restore greatness to our military? :: 11/14/2013

Hagel says pay must be cut. Obama allows retirees to be hung out to dry on medical benefits. The VA is backlogged to next year with claims. And through it all, young men and women are on the line of departure, ready to take a bullet for you and me. We think its high time that the United States Armed Forces be restored to its proper place of prominence.

Will Holder's arrogance be rewarded or punished? :: 11/14/2013

Eric Holder, the United States Attorney General, holds two things, a Cabinet position, and an attitude of utter disdain for the law. Fast and Furious should have put him behind bars. The least Congress can do is toss him out in the street.

Will the Pittsburgh juvenille shooter do hard time? :: 11/14/2013

We noted that this shooting was right in the backyard of a neighborhood we lived in for 25 years. There is an awful disconnect, as the news initially said the victims would not cooperate with the authorities. 16 year old kids with guns? We suppose CeaseFirePA will be in full force asking for more laws. Last time we checked, every facet of this crime is illegal, from possessing the gun, to discharging it in City limits, to attempted murder, to assault with a deadly weapon, and even heavy charges should be placed on the fool who allowed this hot-headed young man to get his fingers on a gun. Ever wonder what really exasperates the police? Watch the case and see how quickly the shooter gets out of jail. We're taking bets he won't live to be very old unless he undertakes some serious changes, AND the judicial system gives him a chance to sit in prison for the full ride, 30-50 years.

ANOTHER Philadelphia solution to a problem that does not exist. :: 11/13/2013

We're going to give Philadelphia City Hall the Dumbazz of the Week Award on this one. Anyone who has been checking the internet knows that the only plastic parts that have produced are a portion of a lower receiver for an AR and a trigger mechanism. Does anyone remember the "undetectable" Glock plastic gun furor? There is a company that has produced a pistol made of Inconel. First of all, the machinery necessary to do this costs a small fortune. Then there's assembly. Before all of that, a furnace to reduce the Inconel to plasticity. We don't see gang bangers laying out 10 grand for a 1911 they can buy off the street for a few bucks. We think Philadelphia would do well to enforce straw purchase violations, and start putting criminals in JAIL. 15 or 16 year olds in JAIL on gun charges? We'll be happy to listen to any reasonable argument telling us why they should be set free to commit more crimes. We won't buy the argument, but we will listen.

One down, many to go. :: 11/13/2013

Yes, we're pleased to see Jim Ferlo go on with his life's work. We can't rest on our laurels, though. There are a lot of folks running for office in 2014 that need to be replaced. Stay tuned for targeted races, where we're going to need boots on the ground to put pro gunners in the House and Senate. If every Keyboard Kommando would take a day off on the computer and spend it working for candidates, whether knocking on doors, phone banking, poll watching, or whatever, we could get a lot of dead wood out of the Capitol. Note that his new opponent, due to redistricting, is Sen. Vulakovich, the first co-sponsor of SB 448, the elimination of PICS.

Tracking Cell Phones (and electronic devices). Is it good or bad? :: 11/13/2013

To the extent that you no longer have to wear a watch that transmits on 121.5 to be found in an emergency, such as a car crash, or lost in the woods, or a sunken boat, we like the idea that your cell phone or electronic device emits your location every 10 seconds or so.
