“Through this program, America’s hunters continue to

provide the most substantial source of funding for wildlife
conservation and management in the United States.”
The program was established through the Pittman-Robertson Act in

1937. Through lobbying efforts in Congress, America’s hunters created
this act as a way to fund conservation and management of the nation’s
wildlife. Wildlife Restoration funds are accumulated from excise taxes on
firearms, ammunition and archery equipment. This excise tax is levied at
the manufacturer’s level, collected by the Federal government, and
distributed to state wildlife agencies to fund wildlife conservation and
management programs. The amount of money each state agency
annually receives is determined by the number of paid hunting licenses
and the land area of the state.

Hunters must complete a deer harvest record before moving a deer from

licenses or deer harvest records and should keep harvest records with

The standard military pistol at the time of the U.S.’s entry into WWI was
the M1911 .45 automatic. But because the country was woefully
unprepared to fight, a supplementary pistol was required that could be
more quickly manufactured. Colt redesigned its M1909 revolver and the
M1917 was born. The M1917 fired the same round as the M1911 and filled
the combat gaps that weren’t able to procure the more desirable M1911’s.
Colt produced 150,000 M1917s, with Smith & Wesson adding an
additional 153,000 M1917s to military stocks during the war.
After the war, the M1917 was retired and became part of the country’s

Ignorance, Apathy, & Emotion A few days after the 2008 General Election I was exploring how
Americans research before casting their votes and I discovered a

By Jeff Knox indicated that to a significant number of Americans, the major political
question is not, “What are we going to do?” but rather, “What have we
done?”
To see twice as many searches focused on critical issues the day after the
election, compared to the day before is troubling at best. I’d like to see

This news is both good and bad for activists wishing to impact elections.
The bad news is that much of the hard work they do leading up to
Election Day may be wasted, or at least not very economical. AMMOLAND.COM
The good news is that activists can have a major impact on an election

Pro Gun Volunteers Needed New Sportsmen’s Club
When we launched www.GunVoter.org, in March of ’08, our vision for SEP 10, 2010 04:27A.M.
the candidate-focused forum site relied on a “build it and they will come”
model. We hoped that if we created the space and let people know about E-Mail, Facebook & Twitter the New Sportsmen’s Club
it, they would flesh it out by each sharing their own candidate research
for their corner of the country. So far that model hasn’t worked out
because it seems people are more interested in learning than teaching.
Even now, with over 2000 registered users and countless thousands
more visitors to the site, most of the hard data is posted by us, and we
don’t have the staff to keep up with it all. This year’s elections are too
important to wait for the users to drive the information so I’ve begun
actively recruiting volunteers to collect and post relevant data and links.
With that solid foundation of information I hope we’ll see the interactive
component of the board take off as well. If you’re interested in
participating in this effort, (especially if you know phpBB,) or you’d just
like to see what’s going on, I encourage you to stop by the site and drop
me a message.
In the next few weeks thousands of voters will be waking up and seeking
information about the candidates. What those voters find could depend
on you. The more information there is at GunVoter.org, the more useful US Sportsmens Alliance Twitter Page
it will be and the more people will find it, use it, discuss it, and add to it,
making it more useful and drawing more visitors, etc. Please help spread
the word about GunVoter.org to activists, candidates, political parties,
anyone interested in gaining or sharing pertinent information, and if
you’d like to lend a hand, let me know.
Knowledge is power only if it is shared and used. www.GunVoter.org is

an ideal forum for sharing, growing, and applying knowledge to realize
power and overcome the ignorance, apathy, and emotion that is
destroying the Republic.

While the U.S. Sportsmen’s Alliance is still pretty “old school” on a lot of
things (phone calls and personal letters still count in our book), we’re
also working hard to get into this new world.
