We're the Only Ones Exhibiting Enough

Officer Tommy Lee Bailey, 64, who was originally charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, was instead found guilty of a lesser charge of improper exhibition of a firearm. [More]

I'm sure had the situation been reversed the same legal courtesy would have been extended.

Jeez, lady, how about a bit of acknowledgment that a known “gun threat” was stopped? Apparently, she would have preferred he’d have been free to go on his way. That has attracted no shortage of useful idiot suck-ups, each of whom would be utterly incapable of defending themselves, nodding in agreement… [More]

Reactions to NFL Knee Jerks

Oath Keepers leadership sounds off on the new NFL policy.  [More]

I know I won't be watching any games.

Of course, I never watched anyway, not just because I could not care less, but because NFL has made its opposition to our right to keep and bear arms more than clear, and any gun owner that supports them in any way is literally giving aid and comfort to the (domestic) enemy.

Survey Says

Tennessee Firearms Association has conducted its 2018 candidate survey.[More]

Well, as long as we're sending out questions to figure out who our "gun rights leaders" are, perhaps TFA would like to answer why they're ignoring the greatest threat facing "legal" recognition of the right to keep and bear arms in their political assessments.

And don't think "single issue" will work with any but the uninformed.

Not to single them out.  I've had this challenge open to every "gun group" and "gunblogger" out there, and not a one of them wants to even acknowledge it, let alone take a stab at an uinequivocal damn answer.
