Ballotpedia.org calls itself “the Encyclopedia of American Politics”. It is fast becoming the best source to determine what is happening in American elections and politics. It was created in 2007 to provide accurate and neutral information about American politics and elections. From ballotpedia.org:

Ballotpedia is the digital encyclopedia of American politics and elections. Our goal is to inform people about politics by providing accurate and objective information about politics at all levels of government. We are firmly committed to neutrality in our content; here's why.

AmmoLand News is quickly becoming the online source for information concerning the gun culture in the United States and around the world. AmmoLand New's article about the Florida petition to change the state constitution to ban numerous firearms was quoted in Ballotpedia. AmmoLand News Author Dean Weingarten was quoted along with Marion Hammer of the NRA and Charles Hart, Chairman of the Orange County Republican Executive Committee, with opposition arguments about the petition. From Ballotpedia.org:

• National Rifle Association lobbyist Marion Hammer said, “This petition seeks to ban practically every rifle and shotgun in America today with the exception single-shot bolt action rifles or single-shot shotguns by calling them assault weapons. It is a blatant attempt to fool Floridians by sucking them into a deception that would effectively ban most hunting, target shooting, and significant home defense as well.”^[8]

• Dean Weingarten, writing for AmmoLand News, wrote, “The problem with having people who are proudly ignorant about firearms technology draft a referendum, is they know just enough to create supremely stupid and ineffective laws.

The alternate media is growing and displacing the old, dominant,progressive, media.

Awesome!

People are sick of the lying MSM.

It’s a good thing they didn’t quote the Ammoland writer with the first grade grammar, though it would have been entertaining.

That would be the AM shooting journal, not Ammoland.

I know what youre saying though. Have you tried to learn any Russian? Might as well be trying to learn Venusian for all the sense it makes. German is almost intuitive to an English speaker, Latin made sense rven if the tenses are a pita. Ive only started but Japanese doesnt seem too hard. Ive gotten as much out of my attempts at Russian as I would from pounding my face with a frying pan. Ive really got to hand it to those that have developed that skill. I wonder if its just as difficult for a Russian mind to learn English.

Anyway, Id say his East Bloc English is better than anything I can offer in reverse.

The depth of knowledge of the writer(s?) and veracity of the stories are whole other conversations.
