Gun Owners March On Harrisburg Once Again! On Monday April 7th gun owners once again rallied in Harrisburg to celebrate the ‘Right to Bear Arms and the Constitutional protections of it. Leading off the Rally was guest speaker Alan Keyes with host legislator Rep. Daryl Metcalfe guiding the rally. Other featured speakers at today’s rally included Larry Pratt, executive director, Gun Owners of America; Alan Gottlieb, chairman, Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms; Jeff Knox, director of operations, Firearms Coalition; Kim Stolfer, chairman, Firearms Owners Against Crime; Melody Zullinger, executive director, PA Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs, and Jon Mirowitz, Unified Sportsmen of Pennsylvania. In attendance were over 500 gun owners from all points of the state and many grassroots groups including: Allegheny County Sportsmen’s League, CCRKBA, GunWeek, Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership, Law Enforcement Alliance of America, Lehigh Valley Firearms Coalition, Mothers Arms - Safely in Mothers Arms Inc., National Rifle Association, National Shooting Sports Foundation, PA Firearms Owners Association, PA Gun Collectors Association, PA Gun Owners Association, PA Rifle and Pistol Association, PA Sportsmen’s Association, Pink Pistols, the Second Amendment Sisters and Unified Sportsmen of PA. At the end of the Rally a drawing was held for a brand new handgun as a thank you to all of the gun owners who sacrificed their time to come to Harrisburg. The grassroots lobbying began after the drawing with gun owners breaking up into teams and directing their energies to the House and Senate members on the issue of our Right to Bear Arms. The legislature passed HB 1845 (without any gun control in it) unanimously while we were lobbying for our freedoms on this day sending it to the Senate for consideration.
Philadelphia Council and Mayor Pass and Sign Into Law Illegal Gun Control Bills (April 10th) Just moments ago at 3PM Philadelphia Mayor Nutter signed into law five ordinances passed by City Council in ‘violation’ of Pennsylvania law. These measures cover the following concepts: 1. limit handgun purchases to one a month 2. require lost or stolen firearms to be reported to police within 24 hours 3. forbid individuals under protection from abuse orders from possessing guns if ordered by the court 4. allow removal of firearms from "persons posing a risk of imminent personal injury" to themselves or others, as determined by a judge 5. outlaw the possession and sale certain assault weapons. It is important to note that violations of these are but summary offenses however the true intent is to try to push the Courts to grant the power that the Legislature will not—Local Control of Gun Laws. The real issue here is that, again, the Mayor and City Council are COMMITTING criminal acts that carry a punishment of Misdemeanor 1 level of punishment. This is a terrible example to be setting for their constituents and those they want to follow the law now. Instead of going to court over this the first action should see them dragged out of city hall in handcuffs!! Once again it is going to be up to the gun owners of PA to step forward and fight this evil or it will spread like cancer throughout our communities.
Citicorp Refuses to Process Firearms Transactions January 7, 2008
CREDIT CARD PROCESSING COMPANY REJECTS
FIREARMS INDUSTRY Citi Merchant Services and First Data Corp. are refusing to
process any credit card transactions between federally licensed firearms
retailers, distributors and manufacturers -- a move which will severely
limit available inventory of firearms and ammunition to military, law
enforcement and law-abiding Americans. Follow up to this issue: CITI MERCHANT SERVICES AND FIRST DATA UPDATE . . . Following up on a story in last week's Bullet Points, Citi Merchant Services and First Data Corp. have insisted that their policy of refusing to process any non-face-to-face credit card transactions involving firearms, including business-to-business transactions between federally licensed firearms retailers, distributors and manufacturers, is not anti-industry or anti-gun. Read NSSF's response to First Data. As the trade association for the firearms industry, NSSF wants to make sure that Americans are aware of the anti-gun business practices of these groups. If individuals want to voice their discontent to senior management at Citi Merchant Services or First Data, the appropriate contact information is available at the NSSF Web site, www.nssf.org. 07-12-27-CitiLetterToCDNN-TerminationNotice 08-01-09-NSSF_First_Data_response 08-01-10-NSSF_First_Data_Letter 08-01-07-CitiCorp-Bulletin-CDNNTermination Source: www.nssf.org

Water Saving Tips There are a number of ways to save water, and they all start with you. When washing dishes by hand, don't let the water run while rinsing. Fill one sink with wash water and the other with rinse water. Check your sprinkler system frequently and adjust sprinklers so only your lawn is watered and not the house, sidewalk, or street. Run your washing machine and dishwasher only when they are full and you could save 1000 gallons a month. Avoid planting turf in areas that are hard to water such as steep inclines and isolated strips along sidewalks and driveways. Install covers on pools and spas and check for leaks around your pumps. Use the garbage disposal sparingly. Compost instead and save gallons every time. Plant during the spring or fall when the watering requirements are lower. Keep a pitcher of water in the refrigerator instead of running the tap for cold drinks, so that every drop goes down you not the drain. Check your water meter and bill to track your water usage. Minimize evaporation by watering during the early morning hours, when temperatures are cooler and winds are lighter. Wash your produce in the sink or a pan that is partially filled with water instead of running water from the tap. Use a layer of organic mulch around plants to reduce evaporation and save hundreds of gallons of water a year. Use a broom instead of a hose to clean your driveway or sidewalk and save 80 gallons of water every time.
