NH: Sununu's Anti-gun Record
GOA Alerts -- Tragically, John E. Sununu has become to latest in a long line of politicians to attack the Second Amendment -- and then to attack Gun Owners of America for exposing his anti-gun record. Sununu has now produced a misleading letter intended to fool gun owners and obscure the nature of his record. Fortunately, the Second Amendment community is not stupid, as Sununu supposes. The following undisputed facts reveal the Sununu letter for the deceptive piece that it is:...

Needed: A "New War" Against The Homegrown Villains
"Americans are hot to retaliate for September 11 as soon as the responsible parties are known. Not knowing whom to bomb makes us feel impotent. Americans crave the catharsis of payback. But, alas, many of the responsible parties cannot be bombed, because they are right here at home. Let me tell you who they are...."

Michigan Militia Speaks: Use Us!
"The President knows that millions of patriots across America are equipped, armed and trained to guard and to defend our land. He is obliged and expected to recognize the citizen militia as its primary guardians ... We are trained and have the ability to uncover threats in areas inaccessible to federal law enforcement ...

Airports missing the point
The idea behind the beefed-up security at airports near you is obvious: to avert another disaster. That's why there are no more curbside checkins, no more Swiss Army keychain knives making it past metal detectors, etc. That's why passengers are told to get to the airport at least two hours early and why planes are sometimes leaving later than ever.
But lost in all the overreaction is this: The old system worked. Airport security wasn't the problem in last week's hijackings.
