Sticking to their guns: Marines place $22.5M order for the Colt .45 M1911

It’s been called the greatest handgun ever made, and it has barely changed sine 1911, when the legendary John Browning designed it especially for the U.S. Military.
And now, the Colt .45 M1911 is making a big comeback, now that the U.S. Marines have placed a $22.5 million order for the Connecticut-made pistols.
The gun, which has been wielded on film by John Wayne and in real life by Sgt. Alvin York and Maj. Audie Murphy, was the standard-issue sidearm in the military for decades, until it was replaced by the Beretta M9 in 1985.

U.S.reverses stance on treaty to regulate arms trade

U.S.reverses stance on treaty to regulate arms trade

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States reversed policy on Wednesday and said

it would back launching talks on a treaty to regulate arms sales as long as the talks

operated by consensus, a stance critics said gave every nation a veto.

The decision, announced in a statement released by the U.S. State
Department, overturns the position of former President George W. Bush's administration,

which had opposed such a treaty on the grounds that national controls were better.

On Wednesday Obama Took the First Major Step in a Plan to Ban All Firearms in the

United States. The Obama administration intends to force gun control and a complete

ban on all weapons for US citizens through the signing of international treaties with

foreign nations. By signing international treaties on gun control, the Obama

administration can use the US State Department to bypass the normal legislative

process in Congress. Once the US Government signs these international treaties, all

US citizens will be subject to those gun laws created by foreign governments. These are

laws that have been developed and promoted by organizations such as the United  

Nationsand individuals such as George Soros and Michael Bloomberg. The laws are

designed and intended to lead to the complete ban and confiscation of all firearms.

The Obama administration is attempting to use tactics and methods of gun control

that will inflict major damage to our 2nd Amendment before US citizens even

understand what has happened. Obama can appear before the public and tell them

that he does not intend to pursue any legislation (in the United States) that will lead

to new gun control laws, while cloaked in secrecy, his Secretary of State, Hillary

Clintonis committing the US to international treaties and foreign gun control laws.

Does that mean Obama is telling the truth? What it means is that there will be no

publicized gun control debates in the media or votes in Congress. We will wake up

one morning and find that the United States has signed a treaty that prohibits firearm

and ammunition manufacturers from selling to the public. We will wake up another

morning and find that the US has signed a treaty that prohibits any transfer of firearm

ownership. And then, we will wake up yet another morning and find that the US has

signed a treaty that requires US citizens to deliver any firearm they own to the local

government collection and destruction center or face imprisonment.

This is not a joke nor a false warning.  As sure as government health care will be forced

on us by the Obama administration through whatever means necessary, so will gun control.

Please forward this message to others who may be concerned about the direction in which our country is headed.

We are being led like a lamb to the slaughter (Socialism/Dictatorship).

Good deal for Chicago Gun buyback!!!

Group Turns in Broken Guns to “Gun Buyback” Program, Raises Money for NRA Youth Shooting Camp.

The city collected 5,500 guns last Saturday in the annual buyback. The city gave out $100 MasterCard gift cards for each gun and $10 cards for BB guns and replicas.
Sixty of the guns and several BB guns were turned in by the Champaign-based Guns Save Life [yielding $6,240]…. Most of the money will go toward buying ammunition for an NRA youth camp in Bloomington. The rest will pay for four bolt-action rifles that will be given away to campers.
“This was rusty, non-firing junk that we turned in,” Boch said. “We are redirecting funds from people who would work against the private ownership of firearms to help introduce the next generation to shooting safely and responsibly.”
