According to a federal report, in 2011 alone more than 300 DHS employees and contractors were charged with crimes ranging from smuggling drugs and child pornography to selling sensitive intelligence to drug cartels. That’s not a few bad apples — that’s an arrest every weekday and many weekends.

Jeez this makes me feel safer!

that was a really good article. That is exactly the kind of thing that needs to be said in the media, but you never hear it. Pretty soon I'll be wearing a tin foil hat...

Great article, full of excellent points.

Here's a great quote:

Liberals are forever asking: “Why would anybody need a gun like that?” And the answer is: because we are not serfs. We are a free people living under a republic of our own construction. We may consent to be governed, but we will not be ruled.

Great article.

From one of the side articles on that website about David Gregory "Should David Gregory be treated more leniently than a domestic cat just because when Obama tickles his tummy he licks the president’s hand and purrs contentedly?" Laughed my ass off.

Great find.

Some good answers to the "why would anyone need..." questions.

Going to print this article out and frame it. I think it will look good in the den for my anti sister in laws to see.

Here is another great excerpt from the article:

Consider the words of Supreme Court justice Joseph Story — who was, it bears noting, appointed to the Court by the guy who wrote the Constitution:The importance of this article will scarcely be doubted by any persons, who have duly reflected upon the subject. The militia is the natural defence of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers.

"Domestic usurpations of power by rulers" .... none of that going in America today....nothing to see here

That article is a must read. Great perspective on the subject.

good article I have passed it along to many of my anti/liberal friends. They don't like questioning of their god and savor in the White House. They have this sick sense of security with the police and other agencies (TSA, DHS, etc..). "You don't need guns, this isn't 1776, no country is going to try and take us over and you can trust our gov't, this is the 21st century"; "look at the UK, they took guns and their gun violence and crime is much lower than here in this country". These are the actual things I hear on a daily basis.

Justice Joe Story: "The militia is the natural defence of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers."

How can the United Nation's Troops be allowed on our streets while we are still armed?
They can't be.
That's why they want to abolish the 2nd Amendment.
Not on my watch...
