The NRA Annual Meeting in Nashville
I guess our commenters are right. There wasn't a single mention of Nazi memorabilia or racist shooting targets. Not a hint of anti-government propaganda either, except of course that little mention of "Obama's gun control agenda."
And with that music lineup, I'm sure black gun owners will be turning out in droves.
Yes, I suppose the NRA has truly become, not only gender balanced, but racially balanced as well. Maybe next week we can get some live images to prove this.

Shaneen Allen Pardoned by Gov. Christie

Ammoland
We did it! Thanks to your phone calls and e-mails Shaneen Allen was granted a full pardon by Governor Christie.
The single mother who became victim to New Jersey’s ridiculous and draconian gun laws can finally get her life back.
But our fight is not over! As I stated in my January meetings, “We will stop at nothing and keep fighting for our rights with absolutely no compromise.” This is evidence of our success and Shaneen would not have been pardoned if it was not for our members’ persistent and consistent fight for freedom.

Kansas Governor Sam Brownback
Ammoland
On April 2 2015, Kansas Governor Sam Brownback (R) signed SB 45, abolishing the need for a concealed carry permit in order to carry a concealed handgun in the state.
This means Kansas joins Alaska, Arizona, Vermont, and Wyoming in doing away with concealed carry permit requirements and also joins Montana, which has done away with a concealed permit requirement outside of city limits in that state.
The Kansas City Star reports that the new law will go into effect on July 1.
Kansas will continue to offer concealed carry permit courses and licenses for those who want to get them in order to enjoy reciprocity with the 36 other states that recognize Kansas licenses, but no license will be necessary in order to carry inside Kansas’s borders.
When signing the bill, Brownback talked of how “carrying a gun is a constitutional right” and added, “We’re saying if you want to do that in this state, then you don’t have to get a permission slip from the government.”
