An Exclusive Publication of Human Events | Vol. 4, No. 1 This week in Guns & Patriots... Neil W. McCabe, Editor Dear Guns & Patriots readers, The year 2012 could not come fast enough. After the stop, go and cave dance we went through in 2011, it is finally time to get serious about electing a pro-gun rights Congress and President. In the coming year, we will be bringing you more gun reviews, more gun news from Washington and the statehouses and more news from our military serving overseas. Many of you were surprised last week to learn that our Marines were in Malaysia. This week, we have a news video from Sgt. Maj. of the ArmyRaymond F. Chandler III visiting the troops deployed to Djibouti, the small former French colony on the Horn of Africa. Also this week, a look back at the reaction to the December 27 article in the New York Times about the number of concealed carry permit holders in North Carolina, who commit crimes and who, although they are felons or have demonstrated dangerous behavior, retain their permit rights. We have both my interview with F. Paul Valone, the president of the Grass Roots North Carolina gun rights advocacy group and my interview with the Times reporter Michael Luo about his methods and his take on why Valone is so upset—oh, and Valone is upset. This week, our featured video is a look at Army sniper students and their ghillie suits, which is a part of their sniper culture that I never get tired of checking out. Our Go button will take you to the National Museum of the Marine Corps. I also need to sneak in here a "Happy Birthday!" to my son Sean Patrick, who turns a ripe 25 today. You are a great son, Sean, and I am very proud of you. Enjoy, Neil W. McCabe Editor, Guns & Patriots Guns & Patriots Podcast, Episode 30: In 2012, The Years Are Cheaper By The Dozen Neil W. McCabe and Brian H. Darling Bring in the New Year with Heritage's Brian H. Darling and Neil W.

GEORGETOWN, S.C. – A year ago, this column questioned whether the 112th Congress — with its new speaker of the House, John Boehner — could "overcome the inane policies of its predecessors" and "mend Washington's free-spending ways." We all know how that turned out... Read More Medal of Honor Roll Call: Thomas W. Custer Robert J. Laplander The younger brother of George A. Custer, Thomas W. Custer earned two Medals of Honor in the Civil War, and was such a warrior that once his then-general brother had him arrested to keep him for going back on the battlefield with serious wounds. Both men died June 25, 1876 at the Little Big Horn River. When asked about Thomas, George said, "If you want to know my opinion of Tom, I can only say that I think he should be the general and I the captain."...

Conservative activists are taking dead aim at them to win them to the Right. But how do you fight what could become Obama's $1 billion war chest? There's a plan... Read more Obama on Guns: This is not a love story Raquel Okyay Today, we have an American President with a long and shocking history of suppressing gun rights, yet claims to be a Second Amendment hero. He does this for one reason and one reason only: Obama wants to win re-election... Read More LaPierre: Obama Cannot Get 4 More Years to Destroy the 2nd Amendment Glenn Beck Television Appearing on Glenn Beck Television with Beck and S.E. Cupp, Wayne LaPierre, the executive director of the National Rifle Association, said voting gun owners hold the margin of victory in the 16 battleground states. In a free-wheeling discussion, the three talk about Fast & Furious, campus carry, guns in studios and whether businesses should be allowed to ban guns from their premises... Read More Fast and Furious: Holder's "Investigation" Now In Progress Longer Than JFK Assassination Inquiry John Hayward David Codrea of the Gun Rights Examiner reminds us that today marks an important milestone: the Justice Department's Inspector General has now been "investigating" the Operation Fast and Furious scandal for longer than the Warren Commission needed to produce its report on the JFK assassination. The OIG report will doubtless be fascinating once it's released. The cynical among us will be looking for that report sometime after November 2012... Read More N.C. Gun Rights Leader Denounces NYT Concealed Carry Article Neil W. McCabe In an interview with Human Events, the leader of Grass Roots North Carolina called the December 27 New York Times article on concealed carry permit holders in his state a "hit piece."...

Read More The Last Jump Chapter Twenty-Eight: Kairouan, Tunisia, North Africa – July 9, 1943 John E. Nevola The paratroopers of Jake's squad were lined up at the doorway of their dark green C-47 Skytrain preparing to load up. Their plane was one of 226 transports scattered among twelve new airfields recently gouged out of the Tunisian hardscrabble. The sun was low in the western sky as the boys began to climb up the narrow aluminum ladders that hung from the doors of the planes... Read More Federalist No. 21: Other Defects of the Present Confederation Publius The want of a mutual guaranty of the State governments is another capital imperfection in the federal plan. There is nothing of this kind declared in the articles that compose it; and to imply a tacit guaranty from considerations of utility, would be a still more flagrant departure from the clause which has been mentioned, than to imply a tacit power of coercion from the like considerations...
