Kansas Pheasant Hunt With Kris Kobach
You are invited to the Kansans For Kobach Pheasant Hunts.

Kansas State Rifle Association

Kansas - -(AmmoLand.com)-  Two amazing pheasant hunts for wild birds (this is real hunting) on some of the best private hunting land in the state of Kansas, to benefit Kris Kobach’s campaign for the office of Kansas Secretary of State.

As Secretary of State, Kris will secure Kansas elections against voter fraud and stop criminal organizations like ACORN from manipulating Kansas elections.

Here’s what the Kansas State Rifle Association had to say in endorsing Kris:

“The Kansas State Rifle Association is proud to be associated with Kris Kobach.

He is a lifelong hunter and sportsman and a leader in the fight to protect and defend the Second Amendment. Kris strongly supports the right to keep and bear arms for all lawful purposes.

As a constitutional scholar, law professor and attorney Kris will fight to protect the honesty of the election process in Kansas and is the best possible candidate for Secretary of State.”

Patricia A. Stoneking
President, Kansas State Rifle Association

WHAT: You can participate in just one, or both, pheasant hunts. Kris will be hunting along with you on these high-quality hunts. This is your chance to have a great time afield with Kansas’s next Secretary of State. Lunch will be provided, as well as “Kansans for Kobach” orange hunting caps. Prizes will also be awarded for best shot of the day and worst shot of the day. You are welcome to bring your own gun dog.

HOW MUCH: $250 for one hunt, $375 for both hunts. Proceeds go to the Kansans for Kobach campaign.

Hunt #1: November 21, 2009, Lenora, Kansas. This hunt is on some of the best pheasant hunting land in the state of Kansas. We will have more than 1,000 acres of excellent CRP and adjacent crops available for the hunt. This prime land will not be hunted on opening day this season, and it will be held back just for this event.

So this is your chance to have “two opening days” this year! Don’t miss it. The spring hatch on this land was exceptional. The hunt begins at 7:30 AM.

Hunt #2: December 12, 2009, Belleville, Kansas. This was the site of a tremendous hunt for Kris Kobach’s campaign in 2003. Because wild pheasant numbers will have decreased by December, we will add pen-raised birds in addition to the abundant wild birds to ensure a great hunt. The combination was spectacular in 2003-like bringing part of South Dakota to Kansas. The hunt begins at 7:45 A.M.

Make Your Reservation Now by calling Ben Davis at 316-210-2450. Ben will provide directions to the location of the hunts and can recommend hotels in the area if you wish to drive to the area the night before the hunt.

Paid for by Kansans for Kobach, Tom Arpke, Treasurer

Early Returns – A Move Toward Smaller Government & Less Gun Control?
By Chris Knox

FirearmsCoalition.org

Phoenix, AZ --(AmmoLand.com)- It’s a Republican sweep in Virginia. Bob McDonnell has the election locked up along with fellow Republicans winning the Lt. Governor and Attorney General offices. The Republican victory in Virginia was overwhelming, with the GOP netting a combined 60 percent of the vote over Democrats in the three races.

In New Jersey, an unpopular (and Brady Bunch-endorsed) Democrat lost to what passes for a conservative Republican in that part of the world.

Meanwhile in New York’s 23rd District, the Republican leadership had an opportunity to learn something about party discipline when their anointed candidate Dede Scozzafava, a genuinely liberal Republican, was pushed out of the race by an upstart conservative candidate who claimed Glenn Beck as his mentor. The Democrat appears to have won, but with the upstart Hoffman making a splash. The chin-stroking started immediately that the New York results are the harbinger of a gathering “civil war” within the Republican Party. Maybe.

The really good news is that this election may be the first green shoots of a renaissance of republican (lower-case R) politics. By a “republican renaissance” I mean that classical republican ideas like the rule of law, limited government with checks and balances, as laid out in the U.S. Constitution, may be gaining a new currency in the political marketplace.

It was Gerald Ford who accurately noted that, “A government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have.” A smaller government promises less, but it is also less of a threat to individual liberty. A small federal government is not something that will happen overnight – frankly I doubt that I’ll see it in my lifetime. Even the “cuts” of the Reagan Revolution were only modest decreases in the rate of growth. The key questions moving forward are whether the Republican Party can field candidates to satisfy the growing demand for limited government, and whether Democratic voters are willing to support candidates who will rein in government expansion, reversing the trend toward federal control. Few viable limited-government candidates have appeared from either party, but demand should eventually generate supply.

To make sure that yesterday’s election results become an ongoing trend in the right direction, GunVoters must get involved now. The first place to start is www.GunVoter.org. See what information is there for your state and what is missing and then start trying to fill the gaps. Get together with your club or state association’s political guy. Take him to lunch and ask questions. Find out who’s running, who deserves help, and whose balloon needs popping. Get involved with your local political party of choice so you can participate in selecting candidates from the ground floor. When you find answers, the next step is to go back to GunVoter.og and build the knowledgebase so others can be more effective.

Keep in mind that although federal elections are important, it’s in state legislatures and city councils that tomorrow’s senators and representatives are groomed. You can wield much more influence in those races and with those candidates than you can in federal campaigns.

As my brother Jeff likes to say, little politicians grow up to be big politicians – catch them while they’re small.

“The Belgian Corporal,” the story I chose as the prologue to the recently released compilation of Neal Knox’s writing, Neal Knox – The Gun Rights War, is a wrenching story of a Nazi atrocity in Belgium and a cautionary tale regarding the dangers of gun registration. The story was told to Dad by a Belgian-American corporal who was with him in the Texas National Guard. We released the story on the Internet (www.NealKnox.com) when the book came out and it has gained a gratifying amount of circulation.

While the praise has been overwhelming, there are some dissenting voices suggesting that the massacre in the story never happened – at least not in Belgium. We have no way of knowing for sure, though I continue to research into it. What we do know for certain is the impression that the story made on a young (just turned nineteen) Neal Knox. For him, the Belgian Corporal’s story rang true. He believed it in his bones and it changed his life.

If you haven’t ordered your copy of Neal Knox – The Gun Rights War, I hope you will. It’s raw history written as it happened by someone who was often a key participant. I can’t promise you’ll read a story that changes your life, but I’ll bet you’ll learn something. To order a copy, go to www.NealKnox.com or www.FirearmsCoalition.org.
