It has always been sensible for good citizens to own and carry firearms for lawful protection against violent criminals who prey on decent people.
During the second Obama term, however, additional threats are growing. Latin American drug gangs have invaded every city of significant size in the United States. Phoenix is already one of the kidnapping capitals of the world, and though the states on the U.S./Mexico border may be the first places in the nation to suffer from cartel violence, by no means are they the last.
The president flagrantly defies the 2006 federal law ordering the construction of a secure border fence along the entire Mexican border. So the border today remains porous not only to people seeking jobs in the U.S., but to criminals whose jobs are murder, rape, robbery and kidnapping. Ominously, the border also remains open to agents of al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations. Numerous intelligence sources have confirmed that foreign terrorists have identified the southern U.S. border as their path of entry into the country.
When the next terrorist attack comes, the Obama administration won’t accept responsibility. Instead, it will do what it does every time: blame a scapegoat and count on Obama’s “mainstream” media enablers to go along.

Insanity Pays
NRA spokesloony Wayne LaPierre is still certifiable...certifiable like a banker's check, that is. The crazier he gets, the more firearms and ammunition gets sold, and he's upping the dosage to max insanity this week with a new op-ed in the Daily Caller.
It also goes to our relative feeling of powerlessness. Multinational corporations can shut down your place of work at any time, you can be fired at-will, the news is filled with stories of crazies killing people - and for a few hundred dollars, you can buy base-level empowerment in the form of a revolver or shotgun. Spend more, get more power.
