It's great that Para USA is doing this and I think all companys should do the same.
It's not the money but the attention it will bring , we must stand up as a whole for our rights , like they said talk is cheap and action is the answer.

I hunt with bow, rifle, shotgun, muzzleloader and I own a couple pistols also. Why the NRA has to constantly keep hunters in a false state of parnoia should be obvious to all. This "blog" here is nothing more than a commercial based on the false assumption someone is going to take away your guns and your hunting!

Well its time someone said it loud! B as in B! S as in S! There are no such bills before congress despite horrors at Virginia Tech and more recently at Colorado! Read the 2nd amendment all the way through! The right to bear arms in order for form a militia?! Why militia? The nation had just been formed and they needed the ability to create adhoc armies! They were talking about long rifles and muskets I might add! Not Euzi's and armor piercing bullits. You see there is no flex in the NRA on anything no matter how ridiculous.

I just watched a show as I was writing this on the Outdoor channel sponsored by Gander Mountain. The host flat out lied about "joining the NRA to protect our gun and hunting rights because there are people who would take them away!" B as in B S as in S! If he was in front of me now I'd go eyeball to eyeball with him and say "who buddy? who is taking your precious guns away?" And he'd sit there slack jawed! The NRA is also a branch of the Republican party! They only endorse Republicans. You know the folks who got us into the false and fraudulent quagmire known as Iraq! Who quaddrupled both the debt and the defecit and gave tax breaks to the wealthiest 1% while a war was going on.

Sorry if I don't fit the arcane pseudo conservative version of someone on the "left". I hunt, I fish, I eat venison, pheasant, quail, ducks, geese, etc. etc. I don't need a group more paranoid than PETA to use me like a puppet. I live in a State that passed its own amendment to ensure hunting as a right not just a priviledge. (Minnesota) So take a chill pill boys and stop jumping everytime the NRA says so! They are using hunters to win their radical arguments about cop killing bullits and automatic weapons.

MAYBE US AS VOTERS SHOULD TAKE AN GOOD HARD LOOK AS TO WHO WE VOTE FOR,TO HOLD AN OFFICE SUCH AS PRESIDENT OF THE USA,GOVENOR,SUCH AS CALIFORNIA HE RECENTLY SIGNED AN BILL TO BAN LEAD BULLETS BECAUSE THE LEAD IS TO BLAME FOR KILLING CONDORS,I GUESS HE FORGOT TO HAVE SOMEBODY IN HIS OFFICE DO SOME REAL CHEACKING ON THIS.IN OUR COUNTY THERE ARE EAGLES,BALD AND AMERICAN,BUZZERDS. ALL OF WHICH EAT DEAD ANIMALS.YOU DON'T
FIND ANY OF THESE DEAD FROM LEAD.THE POINT IS HE NO SOONER SIGHNED THE NO LEAD BULLETS AND THE FISH AND GAME JUMPS IN AND SAYS NO (22 AMMO).LEAD IS LEAD.YOU OPEN THE DOOR ESPECIALLY IN AN ELECTION YEAR. OUCH! YOU DO WONDER
WERE THE NRA AND SCI ARE WHEN THINGS LIKE THIS COME UP WE AS HUNTERS NEED RESPECT BY ARE GOVERMENT.WERE NOT THE BAD GUYS,IF THEY WOULD INFORCE THE LAWS ON THE BAD GUYS AND QUITE MAKING EXCUSES.I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOUR STATE BUT LOOK UP AN ARTICAL

Jag you learned to read in school, now go back and learn to understand what you read. The 2nd adm. was put there to protect yourself from the Government, why, because the people had just came out from an oppressive Government and was not going to sit around and go back into it.. Learn to comprehend what you read, look around ,MAYBE you will understand what you see. If not call me and I'll show you.

As a member of the military, I understand the power of big government. It seems to me that banning firearms in the name of safety, cultural enlightenment, progress, etc., is essentially political in, and of, itself. Historically, there is no precedent suggesting that laws have positive affects on morality/crime--Prohibition in the 1920's and the war on drugs considered. There are already over 200 exiting gun laws. Significantly more people are murdered annually by alcohol-related accidents, despite the severe laws created to protect people, than by handguns. The human heart, capable of extreme hatred, is the essential catalyst of all violence. Demonizing firearms is not the remedy to crime. Felons were once innocent babies; how did society fail them? Why isn't the banning camp seeking ways to heal our social ills caused by deteriorating family values? Hollywood produces a significant number of violent TV programs and movies, but discussions of banning them cannot be heard over the hue and cry of First Amendment rights. Additionally, many "stars" use their celebrity status to hypocritically express contempt of the Second Amendment. The NRA has accomplished more to successfully educate citizens, including children (Eddie Eagle Program) on gun safety, to train police officers, to offer Olympic marksmanship camps, to support gun laws, and create anti-violence programs (Project Exile) than the existing counter organizations who premise their existence on emotional, misguided utopian thinking. Before making debasing assertions against the NRA, individuals need to be philosophically responsible and learn more about their essential purpose and work--especially where constitutional rights are concerned! Firearms are used not only for self defense, but also for a variety of enjoyable shooting activities and styles. The issue of gun rights is unfortunately so polarized that understanding between the two groups is presently non-existent. I hunt, and shoot, without aspirations of violence against mankind. Our government has already enacted significant legislation which, despite good intentions, has also served to usurp many of our former rights.
We are searching for answers to the complex social problems which currently plague our country, but dismantleing the Constitution and Bill of Rights will leave us with a remnant of the democracy our forefathers envisioned, and a reality resembling the government they fled. Thank you Para USA for protecting and supporting a precious freedom.

Use your vote to clean out the Congress. This is the one step that is mandatory if we are to keep the good old US of A. We the People cannot continue on the path we are on. We must get serious. It's time to dump the "Amnesty", Pork Barrel, Earmark people now!

this does seem like para trying to increase sales !and 25$ seems a bit wimpy when you price their guns ??? but lets not look the gift hoarse in the mouth . but the fact is i couldn't afford one of para ordinance fine pistols if i wanted one anyway . so lets hope big business gets their head outa their %[email protected] and gives generously to all the good people that fight for our rights to keep and bear their weapons !!!!!!!!!!!

I live in the most liberal state in the Union - California. They have banned many .223 and 7.62x39 semi-auto rifles. Many other semi-auto rifles of varying calibers have also been banned. California has also banned some semi-auto shotguns and many semi-auto pistols. They have also used new laws to virtually ban importation of new handguns by making them meet drop test requirements. When most of the handguns passed those test they changed the law to make it much harder to pass and it worked. Now, thanks to our "Republican" Arnold Governator we are going to have virtually no new pistols for sale in a couple of years due to a micro-stamping bill that he signed. We also cannot hunt in certain areas with lead ammo and .50 caliber single-shot and semi-auto rifles are banned thanks to our "Republican" governor. You can mouth off your ignorance all you want to JAG but the facts stand. Hunting and the 2nd Amendment ARE under attack. By the way Uzi and bullets are spelled like this. You should at least know how to spell the words you are attacking. Maybe we should ban the words too. With people like you that is what we will end up with - nothing. Get involved. NO EXCUSES. NO APOLOGIES. FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS.

P.S. The NRA supports the candidate who has the strongest pro-gun record regardless of their political party.

Don't forget to read the Preamble -

"THE Conventions of a number of the States having at the time of their adopting the Constitution, expressed a desire, in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of its powers, that further declaratory and restrictive clauses should be added: And as extending the ground of public confidence in the Government, will best insure the beneficent ends of its institution"

The first ten amendments are "declaratory and restrictive clauses" - they supersede all other parts of our Constitution and restrict the powers of our Constitution.

In other words - the Bill of Rights limits the power of the government. It doesn't not limit the power - maintained by the exercise of these rights - of the people.

so you entered you views about gun rights. and you live in a state where you think your rights are protected. "think again" federal laws trump state laws. and it sucks, but that is the way it is unless the state suceedes from the union. if we are not vidgilant we may end up with elected officals that would be tickled pink to see everyones weapons distroyed ie boxer, peloski, clintens and so on. all names mispelled on purpose.
look at our friends to our north.
then look at the ausies. get your head out of the sand. if this hurts your feelings- tough wake up and get a life.

Jag, wake up to the coffe man! Try owning a gun in NYC, Washington D.C., or for that matter Morton Grove,Il. And in your spare time you might want to check out the NRA's E-mail alerts that keep the rest of us informed so we can continue to preserve the rights of all gun owners. And I bet Zell Miller of Ga. would respectfully disagree that the NRA and the Republican party are absolute bed fellows. You need more research and less kool-aid!

Jag, I would really like to understand your real hate for the NRA and Republican party. Did they do something personal to you ? You are so blinded by hate, you lie to yourself !!!

Jag, it is obvious that you are a typical liberal. I have paid most of my life to retain your gun rights. I am an endowment member of the NRA; a tremendous organization. Each week I receive an e-mail from NRA and SCI, keeping me abreast of things hapening in the gun and hunting worlds. I traveled to Africa last yeam for my "once in a lifetime" hunt. I ensured my gun, purchased emergency insurance & e-vac insurance and obtained all manner of information (health, travel & local) through the NRA. I take both of their magazines and contribute money regularly. I also am a member of SCI. If you are not willing to pay your way to maintain our feedom then get the hell out of "our" sport.
