Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin warned NRA members Friday that President Barack Obama wants to gut the Second Amendment and told a separate gathering that “mama grizzlies” will help Republicans win this November, sweeping away the Democratic agenda. Palin, a potential 2012 presidential candidate, told National Rifle Association members during their annual meeting that the [...] By Ted Nugent Water, water, everywhere water. Know it, embrace it, manage it or drown. Same goes for cars, trucks, chain saws, knives, crowbars, blowtorches, teakettles and guns. I will not be denied the pragmatic, functional utility of anything based on the inept, clumsy, irresponsible failure of brain-dead, uncoordinated numskulls. I will not drown; drink [...] The last time the National Rifle Association came to Charlotte, then-NRA President Charlton Heston thrust a musket in the air and shouted what would become a signature slogan: “From my cold, dead hands!” Now the NRA is back. The city’s largest-ever convention opens Thursday at the Charlotte Convention Center. Organizers expect up to 70,000 visitors [...] In 1950, Sen. Joseph McCarthy (R-Wis.) waved his infamous “enemies” list. Innocent Americans were imprisoned and many more “blacklisted.” McCarthyites exploited the buzzword “communism” to intimidate. Today’s McCarthy? New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Today’s buzzword? “Terrorism.” Today’s list? The secret terrorist watch list, with a million names or more. No one knows who’s on it, [...] Gov.

The measure Culver intends to sign would [...] Two gun-rights groups have their sights trained on an amended House bill that lets handgun-carry permit holders go armed in restaurants selling alcohol but bans their weapons from establishments that derive less than 50 percent of their gross sales from food. “We will not go along with it,” said John Harris, executive director of the [...] Given El Dorado County’s Old West name, maybe it isn’t surprising that the big issue in its biggest election this year is about carrying guns. Everywhere the six non-incumbent candidates for sheriff go – even Monday’s forum in an upscale retirement community – Topic A has been who gets a license to carry a concealed [...] The Supreme Court suggested Tuesday it will strike down U.S. cities’ outright bans on handguns, a ruling that could establish a nationwide ownership right fervently sought by gun advocates. But the justices indicated less severe limits could survive, continuing disputes over the “right to keep and bear arms.” Chicago area residents who want handguns for [...] One wonders if NRA members should be proud of their organization’s apparent newfound fiduciary conservatism. The so-called “premier” gun rights organization has now managed to finagle its way into the spotlight after someone else’s sweat and money rented the hall, approved built the stage, order and set up the sound system. NRA lawyers are now [...] More women than ever are carrying and learning to fire guns, according to several Upstate gun instructors.At Allen Arms Indoor Range in Greenville County, women from their 20s to 90s come in to learn to shoot.
