      Rep. Kelly Response to State Department Announcement that US 'Will Sign' Arms Trade Treaty

      Many of the bullets will be mine. If they want revolution, we will give it to them. Never be at home when they start coming for your guns. Have all of your guns, ammo and gear in the boonies with you. Anyone coming out there are our enemies. We will raze them to the ground and take their equipment. Time for a 2nd revolution because the old one has quit working.

      The Human Dimensions of Elk Reintroduction in Western Maryland

      Great, another driving hazard introduced into our already overpopulated deer herds. & deer collisions in three years, over $20,000 in car repairs. I can’t wait to hit an Elk early in the AM or late in the evening. The side of my truck is crushed right now from a large buck sideswiping me. If that had been an Elk instead, I would not be here to even respond to this nonsense.

      New Federal Fracking Rule a Step Forward on Public Lands

      Got to agree with Bill. AmmoLand provides a great service by alerting those of us who follow 2nd Amendment issues to what’s taking place in DC and in the individual states and I appreciate that very much.

      That being said, it’s hard to maintain any sense of legitimacy when these boiler-plate liberal issues (OOH! big bugaboo, “fracking”) are featured under the guise of “conservation,” when in actuality, they are nothing more than propaganda pieces for the AGW/Green nuts to spew their lies and bad information.

      This whole fracking issue is much ado about nothing. The studies that the nut-jobs cite are flawed so badly as to have been withdrawn.

      Nobody’s water is being contaminated, all that is done by legislation like the above lauded is placing more and more roadblocks in the path of a self-sustaining, energy sufficient America.

      The AGW/Greenies don’t care about America or Americans and they certainly don’t care if we have enough energy, their only concern is their radical agenda which is based on bad science.
