"I guarantee you Barack Obama ain't taking my shotguns, so don't buy that malarkey," Biden said Saturday at the United Mine Workers of America's annual fish fry in Castlewood, Virginia. "Don't buy that malarkey. They're going to start peddling that to you."
LAS VEGAS – A Las Vegas judge has dismissed a firearms charge against entertainer Jerry Lewis. Las Vegas Justice Court Judge Karen Bennett-Haron dismissed the case Friday after attorneys agreed to let the 82-year-old comedian off without fines.

"That is not the role of the Chicago Police Department, your legal status. I mean, their role is to serve and protect the people of the city of Chicago. And immigrants do not commit the high percentage of crime."And yet legal firearm owners "do not commit the high percentage of crime" yet Daley and his ilk seem obsessed w/ blaming them for Chicago's high crime rate.
Cook County sheriff's office spokesman Steve Patterson said the office will not consider a program like 287(g) because Cook is a sanctuary county, meaning officials have directed police and other employees not to ask about Immigration status.Officials have directed police to not enforce the law. Does anymore need to be said?
CHICAGO — Serious crime is up but arrests are down in Chicago, and some police officers say they are working the streets less aggressively out of resentment toward their new chief and fear of being second-guessed by him.
"People are doing just what they need to get through" their shifts, said Lt. Robert Weisskopf, president of the Chicago police lieutenants union, "and not any extra."
In addition to making fewer arrests, police are seizing fewer guns and frisking gang members less often than they did before Superintendent Jody Weis was brought in to clean up a department embarrassed by a string of brutality cases, according to interviews, statistics provided by police and an internal document obtained by The Associated Press.
Bloomington, IL (GSL/CCRA)
- Darnall’s Gun Works and Ranges hosted their fourteenth annual NRA
Youth Shooting Camp July 31-August 2, 2008 at their property west
of Bloomington. Approximately 75 campers were present, along with
dozens of volunteer staff to make the nation’s longest-running NRA
youth camp another big success.
Youths aged 8-16 camped for four days and three nights at the range and explored several major shooting disciplines, including trap shooting, black powder rifles, small-bore rifles, pistols, cowboy action shooting as well as an archery program.
Certified instructors from around Illinois volunteered to offer their
services to teach safety and good technique. While time was limited
at each station, the opportunities to learn were not as instructors helped
set a good foundation for the campers to continue to learn and improve
as shooters.
Sunday afternoon, parents had an unscheduled opportunity to watch
the kids in action at the various ranges as the teaching modules
were pushed back by some thunderstorms earlier in the morning.
Excited campers delighted in showing off their targets and talents to
proud parents and grandparents.

"I think Americans who hunt -- and who prove that they can hunt -- should have single shot rifles suitable for hunting whatever they"re hunting. I mean American citizens should be like any other citizens of the world. "
You're just sending people on more wild goose chases ...
Fact: It is demonstrably untrue to assert that Barack Obama wants to confiscate firearms, a blatant lie.
RealFact: Yes he does.
Good Fact: Obama, who received the endorsement of the American Hunters and Shooters Association, a non-partisan organization dedicated to promoting hunting and common-sense gun policy, is on record as affirming gun ownership rights.
RealFact: Oh don't even get me started.
Good Fact: At a press conference in Watertown South Dakota on May 16, 2008, Democratic candidate Barack Obama unequivocally makes clear his support for gun ownership in his clear and direct statement: "It is an individual right, the people have the right to lawfully bear arms" ... You can't make it much clearer than that.
"With 7.3% unemployment and a gallon of gas going for just under four bucks, the Windy City has some economic headwinds that result in a perfect storm for stress. Chi-town’s pollution problems (it ranked No. 7 in terms poor air quality) and lack of breathing room (it's No. 2 in terms of population density) couple to create a Midwestern Molotov cocktail of stress."
"It's important to me that our next President protects our Second Amendment rights to own guns and defend ourselves," says Schoenke. "Barack Obama and John McCain will both make sure we can keep our guns. But what about keeping our jobs?
