Raising Rifle-Buying Age to 21 Leads to Inconvenient Truth


But what these examples of past freedoms enjoyed by young people throughout our history prove beyond any doubt is that we, who they furiously demand to disarm, could be trusted with guns when we were young, as could those who raised us. [More]
Republicans either need to stop being useful idiots or else admit the false “conservative” wing is — and has been all along — a controlled opposition con job.

They Don't Even Pretend to Be Objective

Here's definitive proof that a good guy with a gun doesn't always stop a bad guy with a gun [More]
No one said they "always" would. Especially if they're cowardly the "Only Ones" CNN is stumping for.

Florida Action

The candidates who came to us as Florida Gun Owners during the primaries have now become lawmakers. Those lawmakers are now being pressured in to selling us out. [More]
If you're an active Florida gun owner rights advocate, you know who is best to approach. If you're not and you don't, whose responsibility is it to fix that without delay?

People Who Live in Glass Houses



So you're saying misery loves company? [More]

Not that I believe any claim they make. Note they don't say "who"?

Think of the Good We Could Do if We Put that on Pay-per-View

“As a non-black person of color, my place here is not to speak for my black family members…My place here is as an accomplice, to throw my body into the twin, heartless gears of white supremacy and anti-black racism that run this city and university — to force them to grind to a halt.” [More]
Damn. Get rid of the belly-bar safety shutoff and I used to have just the mill for that in the old pharm rubber department I used to be foreman of back in the late Seventies. Alas -- a Democrat-dominated union strike where  we supes got office workers up to 98% efficiency within a week convinced management to move operations to a clima más amigable...

At least the town now has a Fin Feather Fur.

Sticking with What Works

GUN CONTROL IDIOT, JERRY BROWN, SIGNS BILL MAKING IT ILLEGAL TO STOP A SCHOOL SHOOTING WITH A GUN [More]
Idiot? I dunno-- I think he knows exactly what he's doing by further ensuring utter reactionary helplessness. A couple more, especially if they're high-profile events, and watch all politicians suddenly "see the light." 

Mission accomplished! At least in the headlines.

On the positive side. I'd expect Wayne and Chris probably have pretty good retirement packages.

Be Careful Who You Get in Bed With

Gov. Greitens indicted for felony invasion of privacy stemming from affair [More]
Thanks goodness the Lairds of Fairfax left themselves an out...

Enforce Existing Intolerable Acts?

I have an idea: Trump should propose legislation that exactly replicates existing gun laws. [More]
I have a better idea: REPEAL existing gun laws.

It'll never happen? Politically, probably no.

Bravo


I for one am SICK TO DEATH of fake news outlets pretending this is about a rifle- its not. [More]
Read the entire thread.

Now share it.

Rebecca Moron

“Hi. Suddenly there is a Confederate flag flying in front of a house in my Greenwood neighborhood. It is at the north-east corner of 92nd and Palatine, just a block west of 92nd and Greenwood Ave N. I would love to know what this ‘means’… but of course don’t want to knock on their door. Maybe others in the area are flying the flag? Maybe it’s a story? Thank you.” [More]
And if it were?

As for being so specific about location, that's not the kind of personal location information that should be volunteered by the thoughtless Seattle Times. It took all of 90 seconds to get a street view and an apartment number. They've not only endangered you, they've endangered the innocent neighbors you felt compelled to snitch on, hoping someone else would do the confrontation.

Who better to heed then "progressive journalists" clueless about all self-protection considerations -- or just uncaring?

And Best of All, You Get NOTHING!

Republicans would be wise to let that reciprocity provision die and send a clean Fix-NICS bill to the Senate. The House can throw in a ban on so-called bump stocks, which let an AR-15 rifle fire more rapidly.  [More]
Do we know how to horse-trade or what?

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term 'Right Thing' Is

President Trump, during a meeting with teachers and law enforcement officials, said he is not in a battle with the National Rifle Association (NRA) and indicated the organization just wants “to do the right thing.” [More]
Translation: Oh sure, they'll make some noise for public consumption. But they've signaled behind closed doors they've got his back.

So Much for Staying Anonymous

A 36-year-old man was arrested after police and SWAT officers were called to the Peninsula Beverly Hills Hotel Thursday morning to investigate a report of a man being held hostage — a claim that investigators later determined to be bogus. [More]
Does this mean he won't get the reward money?

Let's All Go to the Movies!



Right. Pay for the privilege of subjecting ourselves to a couple hours in a "gun-free zone" while  Natalie Portman leads a team of "assault rifle"-bearing womyn warriors. [More]

That would be this Natalie Portman.

Commientious Objector

I will never have a gun in the classroom, and if required to, I would resign. [More]
That would probably be a good thing.

That's because, along with being an excuse-making sniveler, you're a social studies ("social justice") indoctrinator and a liar.  And we see that talking point being played out on cue by others in the hive.

No one is "required" to carry a gun.  The Founders put in a militia duty exemption for those "conscientiously scrupulous against bearing arms."

What you want to do is impose your choice on everyone, that is, to take away the choice of those who would exercise their fundamental rights under force of state arms.

Forgetting His Place

BREAKING NEWS!!!


USING WEAPONS CAN CAUSE CATASTROPHIC TISSUE DAMAGE!!! [More] 

And rifles can be more powerful than handguns!

And if a lowly .223 will do that, just think about larger calibers!

So who better would we want to have exclusive use of those than Master?

Ol' Dr. Heather sure looks like she'd be a lot of help in a "gun-free zone" attack, doesn't she?

So-Called ‘Conservatives’ Need to Stop Offering Gun-Grabbers Concessions


I guess it’s no surprise to see NRO offering a sop, as if that will satisfy those who’ve made it clear they want it all. National Review founder William F. Buckley didn’t really get the “shall not be infringed” thing either, on either prior restraints or on militia-suitable arms. And sorry, but David French's is not a “conservative” voice I want representing gun owner interests if the extent of his judgment is to throw the circling pack of Democrat jackals a scrap of flesh. Nor is Ben Shapiro's. [More]
I wish Sealab Bizarro would "help" someone else.

It's Called 'Free Enterprise' for a Reason


[More]

Fine, gutless idiots. It'll hurt you worse than it does me:

You're not my only option.

We're the Only Ones Taking Care of Number One Enough

Broward Sheriff Scott Israel said Thursday the school resource officer stationed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas was suspended without pay after he learned the deputy never went into the building when the shooting began. Broward Sheriff's Office [More]
Hey, he wanted to make it home at the end of his shift. Kind'a like Columbine.

And who better to heed on disarming people who would go in than Scott Israel?
