Firing Line


The March-April issue is available for download. [More]

Just in case anyone is interested in what's happening in Nevada...

There's No Justification for This

The State of New Jersey argued that I did not meet “justifiable need” for a carry license because I had "other options" I could pursue. I could:
1: Shut down my business; or
2: Conduct my private business in a different manner; or
3: Hire a private armed security guard. [More]
Funding is being solicited for a challenge.

Stephen Stamboulieh and Alan Beck will be filing the case.

When Needle-Nose Pliers are Outlawed...

A man attacked a Metrobus driver with needle-nose pliers Tuesday morning and took control of the bus, D.C. police said. The hijacker then crashed the bus into a gas station parking lot, hitting a man who later died. [More]
Now there's a guy who can't be trusted without a custodian.

More Than We Can Bear

Instead of unloading and storing a firearm to legally transport it, Iowans can instead easily obtain a permit to carry a loaded one. [More]
See, that's what this is really about.

New ATF Rules FYI

What, you thought "shall not be infringed" meant something else...?

Political Diversity, Opposite Day 'Progressive'-Style

The Can You Not PAC plans to discourage straight white men from running for office in Colorado's diverse districts. The hope is that will clear the lane from female, minority and LGBTQ candidates.  [More]
It'll get to the point where you'll not only have to kiss babies to get elected, you'll have to slip them the tongue.

We're the Only Ones Stomach-Turning Enough

A Clayton County Police officer is off the force after Channel 2 Action News played a recording for the police chief, who said the shakedown it depicts turns his stomach.  [More]
Yeah, you just don't do that kind of stuff without filling out some forms.

Hey, with these kinds of results, why not? [More]

Maybe we can get Bloomberg to fund an initiative to make them go through background checks or something.

I just had a turnabout's-fair-play idea: When you go to a gun store, have the FFL ask and advise you about safe medicine storage practices and other commonsense medical safety rules...

To say Mike takes a dim view of election prospects would be an understatement. [More]

I told you yesterday he might post from his new medical bed that allows him to sit upright.

It's Monumental

I don't suppose they could just stick two giant weather balloons at the base of the Washington Monument and save the taxpayers some money...? [More]

The ABCs of Propaganda

ABC’s ‘Quantico’ Puts ‘Make America Great Again’ ‘in the Mouth of Terrorists’ to Impact Election [More]
Just like we saw gun-grabbers collaborate with "House of Cards" and Valerie Jarrett "partnering" with Hollywood to shill for Obamacare in its scripts.

Yes, of course it's a de facto admission that everything these vampires do relies on manipulating emotion rather than appealing to reason.

No Vote Of Confidence

Such confident Democrat affinity for immigration, both legal and illegal, becomes obvious when you look at the numbers, as Pew research did in a 2012 “Political Party Affiliation among Hispanics” poll. Whether you look at all, at registered voters, at native born, foreign born, unauthorized, legal permanent residents or foreign-born US citizens, that affiliation is overwhelmingly Democrat. Refuting those who would have us believe eventual assimilation will create more political homogeneity, the lop-sidedness continues as time goes on. Only 10 percent identify as Republicans after “20 years or more.” [More]
My newest GUNS Magazine "Rights Watch" column notes that, contrary to denial by some in “the gun lobby,” immigration has everything to do with the right to keep and bear arms.
