A press release from Dudley Brown, Executive Director of the National Association for Gun Rights: The fact is, Rick Santorum does have a long history of supporting gun control. In the 90s, he voted to support the Lautenberg Gun Ban, which stripped law-abiding gun owners of their Second Amendment rights for life, simply because they spanked their children or did nothing more than grab a spouses wrist. He voted for a bill in 1999 disguised as an attempt to increase penalties on drug traffickers with guns… but it also included a provision to require federal background checks at gun shows....

President Barack Obama‘s campaign is putting together a Dream Team of current and former NBA stars to help raise money for the president’s re-election effort. A fund-raiser, billed as the first-ever “Obama Classic Basketball Game,” is in the works. The line-up, according to campaign materials, is an eye-popping list of stars that Mr. Obama, a devoted recreational player, would no doubt like to join. The game will be played in Washington on Dec. 12 at a venue yet to be announced. The primo game package costs $35,000, which gets a donor “one bench seat & two courtside seats, shootaround with...

Boy I sure am glad I went drinking tonight. That is all.

Here's the deal you your arsenal consists of the following weapon systems: Bolt action rifle Semi-auto rifle Shotgun Small calibur rifle Semi-auto handgun Revolver handgun Now choose the weapon for each based on the following criteria; usability, affordability (including ammunition) and practicality

Twenty-five years ago, a director with one flop on his resume teamed up with a former bodybuilder who had not yet been in a successful movie. There was no way of telling then that one would go on to make the biggest box-office hit of all time, and the other would become governor of California. In fact, there wasn't much hope the low-budget movie would ever be seen by a wide audience. However, the film's unexpectedly inventive story structure, rapid-fire action scenes, and iconic central character not only made "The Terminator" a hit, but spawned a franchise that includes a...

O'FALLON -- News-Democrat Three O'Fallon police officers who responded to a burglary at an apartment building Monday night shot and killed an armed man who met them at the door and found the body of a woman inside. The identities of the man and woman were not being released Monday, and Morrisey said police did not know whether or how the two knew each other. None of the officers was injured. About 9:15 p.m. the three officers responded to the call reporting a burglary, Illinois State Police Lt. Jim Morrisey said. "They were met at the door by a man...

Yo FReeps, I need a little advice. I've been a DoD contractor pretty much since I got out of the AF. I have never started a 401K with any company. I'm working for a fourth different company now and am deciding on opting out of the companies 401K plan due to the current political environment. I have a large savings and other investments so I think I am in good shape. Down the road if we find out the socialites decide not to attack our retirement accounts I may opt back into it. Is anyone else in this position or...

I'm looking to set up a FReep meet, convention, or whatever for the St. Louis and Metro East (Illinois) areas. If anyone wants to travel a long distance they are more than welcome.

Just wondering if any Freeps are going to the show in Collinsville, IL tomorrow. It's usually a big show at the Gateway Center.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. -- An American flag flown upside down is a signal of distress. At half-staff, the flag is a sign of mourning. Jeffrey Smith figures both dire conditions describe the United States now that Barack Obama has been elected president - which explains the intentionally startling appearance of the Stars and Stripes outside his house in rural Huntertown, Ind. "Ships fly their flags upside down when they're sinking, and I see that happening to our country," said the staunchly Republican Smith, 42, who considers his actions patriotic, not disrespectful. "I'm for the Bill of Rights, and I'm concerned...

Listen up. All of you whiners need to man up (or woman up) because in this battle we can't have anyone suffering from "shell shock." Things are going to get bad, but we have to persevere and continue to fight the good fight. I leave you guys with this: "Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of freedom, of liberty, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it...

Just a little vanity humor before the day of reckoning. Should I kick my gf/former fiance of four years out? She is a total obama supporter and plans to vote accordingly. In fact, she is pretty much a partisan hack. Not only that but I have several Noam Chomsky books occupying space on my bookshelf.

(myFOXstl) -- Ward One Alderman Charles Quincy Troupe says shootings happen in his district on an almost regular basis, so he’s calling on the more law abiding citizens of his Ward to be armed with guns for protection. Alderman Troupe says something needs to be done to take control, “it kills the good kids, along with the bad. They are in danger if they join a gang and they are in danger if they don’t join a gang, so it’s a lose lose situation for us.” Two teens were shot in a house Saturday morning on East Grand, a 17-year-old...

I'm looking at purchasing a rifle but I'm having a tough decision on what I want. I want to build it as a close-combat weapon but can't decide on a 5.56 or 7.62. These are actually two rifles I'm looking at: AR15 http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/programming/expand.asp?Prodid=515 .308 http://www.atlanticfirearms.com/programming/expand.asp?Prodid=286
