Carry a gun on or within 1,000 feet of any campus now and you could be charged with a felony, spend up to 10 years in prison and pay as much as $10,000 in fines. But a panel of lawmakers conducting a wholesale review of Georgia`s gun laws soon will solicit opinions on removing or altering the ban. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11453 NRA-ILA News NRA-ILA http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11453 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 03:06:04 GMT Some college students are pushing to allow firearms on campus. They say it would stop a tragedy, like the Virginia Tech Massacre from happening again. Some UCCS students believe handgun permit holders should be allowed to carry their weapons on campus. Wednesday the group made a presentation to the Board of Regents asking that the current no firearms on campus policy be changed. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11449 NRA-ILA News NRA-ILA http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11449 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 03:03:27 GMT Woodford County voters will weigh in this November on a topic that some gun-rights advocates think has been ignored too long in Springfield. The County Board on Monday agreed to put a non-binding referendum on the general election ballot asking whether residents want state legislators to enact laws allowing trained citizens to carry concealed firearms. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11450 NRA-ILA News NRA-ILA http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11450 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 03:04:20 GMT John McCain has expanded his lead over Barack Obama in Missouri, a new survey says. McCain`s advantage is 50-40, a seven-point increase from Public Policy Polling`s July poll, which showed him leading by three points. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11451 NRA-ILA News NRA-ILA http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11451 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 03:04:50 GMT Sen. John McCain is having a very good summer, as a trio of new polls show the Republican presidential candidate pulling even with or slightly ahead of rival Sen. Barack Obama and erasing what had been the Democrat`s clear edge on appealing to swing voters and dealing with the economy. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11452 NRA-ILA News NRA-ILA http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11452 Thu, 21 Aug 2008 03:09:19 GMT Gov.

"Mr. Obama is not the reformer he now claims to be. The real man is the one they know in Chicago -- the one who won his first election by depriving voters of a choice." http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11446 NRA-ILA News NRA-ILA http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11446 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 02:41:30 GMT Clarence Thomas's 1991 Senate confirmation hearing was one of the most shameful political events of recent American political life. In the wake of Barack Obama's risible attack on Justice Thomas at Saturday night's Rick Warren forum, and the continuing buzz about Delaware Democratic Senator Joe Biden's potential selection as Obama's running mate, it's worth rewinding to 1991. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11447 NRA-ILA News NRA-ILA http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11447 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 02:42:07 GMT The fun thing about an Obama-Biden ticket is that the McCain campaign can point to a new awkward comment by Joe Biden - either on the importance of experience, in praise of McCain, or in support of invading Iraq - that contradicts the stands and qualities of the Democratic nominee for every day from now until Election Day. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11448 NRA-ILA News NRA-ILA http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11448 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 02:42:46 GMT Dick Heller, whose lawsuit overturned the District`s handgun ban, is now officially authorized to keep a revolver in his Capitol Hill home. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11439 NRA-ILA News NRA-ILA http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11439 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 03:14:13 GMT Visitors to America`s national parks may soon be able to pack more than a picnic lunch on their next visit to Yellowstone, the Everglades, or the Grand Canyon. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11440 NRA-ILA News NRA-ILA http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11440 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 03:14:45 GMT If one is going to examine Jerome Corsi's The Obama Nation: Leftist Politics and the Cult of Personality, one probably ought to also read David Freddoso's book on the Democratic nominee, The Case Against Barack Obama. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11441 NRA-ILA News NRA-ILA http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11441 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 03:15:10 GMT In West Texas, it was not uncommon to see the bumper sticker "fear the government that fears your gun" on a lot of pick-up trucks during both terms of the Clinton administration. Yet as bad as Clinton was, his push to disarm the American people would pale in comparison to what we'd see from a President Barack Obama, a man who not only wants to disarm the American people, but America's allies as well. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11442 NRA-ILA News NRA-ILA http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11442 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 03:15:47 GMT John Rosenthal is buying a new anti-gun billboard in Massachusetts. His actions just provide more proof that his organization, American Shooters and Hunters Association, is just a front group for politicians like Barack Obama to try to hide their anti-gun agendas. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11443 NRA-ILA News NRA-ILA http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11443 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 03:16:37 GMT Walt Disney World has limited its ban on employee guns at work to the giant resort`s main property only -- and with that move Friday received the blessing of Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11434 NRA-ILA News NRA-ILA http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11434 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 03:19:14 GMT Officials at the world's busiest airport apparently overstated their case last month when they declared Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International a "gun-free" zone. Truth is, hunters, competitive shooters and other fliers tote hundreds of guns - some of them high-powered weapons - and thousands of rounds of ammunition through nonsecure areas of Hartsfield-Jackson every year. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11435 NRA-ILA News NRA-ILA http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11435 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 03:19:49 GMT Barack Obama's answer to Rick Warren's Supreme Court question was telling. Elections matter. As one politico with experience on Supreme Court fights put it Saturday night, "regardless of what Obama might say about particular decisions, Obama's justices would not only presumably make up these new rights - they would strip us of our Second Amendment rights while giving child rapists more rights and taking away the rights of the people through their legislators to make these important decisions." But don't expect Barack Obama to address any of those actual details. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11436 NRA-ILA News NRA-ILA http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11436 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 03:20:18 GMT It is now clear why Barack Obama has refused John McCain`s offer of joint town hall appearances during the fall campaign. McCain is obviously better at them. http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11437 NRA-ILA News NRA-ILA http://www.nraila.org/News/Read/InTheNews.aspx?ID=11437 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 03:21:04 GMT "June 28, 2008, was a defining moment in my life," writes Brian Fentiman. "It was the day I shot and killed a man in the defense of my life and the lives of others. We all have defining moments.
