Area F:

Hello, and welcome to Area F, Southwest Michigan!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy the website and find it informative. If you haven’t already, please take a moment to browse the new forum area. Sign up and sound off!

My name is Jeff O’Riley and I’ll be working hard to get things rolling for Area F. Lifelong resident of this beautiful State of Michigan, and just a typical family guy with a wonderful wife and two beautiful daughters. I enjoy all things outdoors, with an extreme passion for hunting and target shooting. The wild is where I belong and feel at home. Anywhere beyond the rat race and concrete jungle.

When I stumbled upon TNUSA six years ago, I was amazed to find a great group of people with core values that paralleled my own. Hard working activist that blazed forward on so many fronts, political, legislative, pro-hunting, pro-second amendment, and scores of community enrichment activities from youth and handicap programs, to fund raisers for those in need. Giving of oneself, and helping others is a very fulfilling experience, words just can not express. It’s spirit rocket fuel for the soul. At this crossroad in my life, I knew it was time for me to stand and join the fight for all that is good.....so here I am. Shoulder to shoulder with my bloodbrothers and sisters ready to make this a better place for all.

Our mission is to build TNUSA into a world class activist organization. We need to reach out and acquire support from ALL sportsmen and women. Standing together for freedom, the freedom to participate in what ever form of outdoor activities we enjoy, should be every ones goal. Whether you hunt with a cross bow, long bow or compound bow, it shouldn’t matter....we are all hunters. Whether you hunt with a muzzle loader, shotgun, bolt action or so called “assault rifle”, it doesn’t matter, we’re all still hunters. If you own firearms for just hunting, self defense, target shooting only, or are just a collector.....we are all still gun owners. There shouldn’t be an “us against them” mentality between the participants of any of these activities. We share the common interest of enjoying the outdoors in our own ways. The elitist attitude needs to be checked at the door. Divide and conquer...the anti’s are loving it.

People will always have differing opinions on what they feel is right or necessary, that’s fine, but the cannibalism and infighting between sportsmen needs to stop. A lot of us need to be a little more open minded and tolerant of others preferences. If it’s legal and ethical, do it. Don’t like it, don’t ruin it for others, go on out and do something you enjoy  Open debate, honest dialogue and logic needs to be practiced, and we can level headedly agree to disagree, while still supporting the root activity. We can become our own worst enemy, destroy each other and play right into the hands of the animal rights and gun grabbers hands. I would rather spend my time and money fighting the REAL enemy, not my fellow sportsmen, despite our differences of opinions. My friends, remember, if you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. I will fight to preserve ALL forms of hunting, trapping and fishing for future generations. The battle rages on to protect your right to own whatever firearms you enjoy, be it a BB gun or a .50calBMG, I’ll continue to fight for it.

Alone, we will fall one by one. The .50cals first, so called assault rifles next, then semi-auto rifles and handguns, and anything left that holds more than one round......you know it won’t stop. Same goes for hunting.

If we all stand together, and support each other, we are a force to be reckoned with. Apathy and political correctness must die. Activism and positive, logical upgrade awaits you. Join us, become a warrior for freedom and all things true north. Together we can, and will win the culture war.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Have ideas or projects for your community? Do you want to see positive changes for Michigan? Are you able to donate time, supplies or share your experience for the education of our youth? Can you help those less fortunate or with disabilities get out to enjoy things otherwise beyond the reach? If so, I’d love to hear from you, let’s talk!

Thanks, get outdoors and live it up!
