Same song, different verse :: 12/14/2015

A refreshing wave of honesty is sweeping the movement to strip Americans of their gun rights.  More and more, the advocates of gun control are declaring themselves to be in favor of banning all guns.  We knew this all along, but it’s good to see that we’re not having to waste time with the claim that “no one’s trying to take your guns.”  Yes, many are trying to do exactly that, and now they’re admitting it.

The Year In Pathetic Gun "Buyback" Attempts :: 12/14/2015

For many big-city officials, there’s nothing quite like a good gun “buyback.” They get lots of publicity, and they look (to the uninformed, at least) as if they’re doing something tangible to cut down on violent crime and accidental gun deaths. Gun “buybacks” are voluntary and pleasantly evoke reward instead of punishment for compliance; there’s an air of benevolent paternalism about them that probably gives many a mayor or police chief a sense of pride.

Florida sheriff warns open carry bill could lead to officer-involved shootings :: 12/12/2015

It's Time to Ban Guns. Yes, All of Them. :: 12/12/2015

The first issue shouldn’t be so complicated. It doesn’t take specialized expertise in constitutional law to understand that current U.S. gun law gets its parameters from Supreme Court interpretations of the Second Amendment. But it’s right there in the First Amendment that we don’t have to simply nod along with what follows.

Democrat Congressman Mike Thompson (CA) and Republican Congressman Peter King (NY) are trying to push a bill through Congress that would deny gun purchases to people who are on the federal government's "no-fly" list. President Obama took to the national airwaves a few days ago to further pressure Congress to pass this legislation. King introduced H.R. 1076 back in February of this year.

The Anti-Gunners Go Full Potato :: 12/12/2015

When it came to engaging in arguments over social media about gun rights over the past few years, I used to have no hesitation in diving head first into the melee. Whether they were reasonable conversations between rational adults or vicious exchanges laced with ad hominems, I was always there putting my two cents in to whoever was willing to argue with me. Recently, I came to the conclusion that it’s really not worth it anymore and stupid people are just going to be stupid. It can’t be helped, and trying to reason with anti-gunners is nothing short of a total waste of time . . .

We Stopped Mass Murder :: 12/12/2015

Islam declared war on unarmed civilians.  It is the muslim way, after all.  What should we do?  Despite their heartfelt desire, Police and Sheriff’s Deputies cannot be everywhere to protect us.  Law enforcement does their best, but we simply need to protect ourselves until help arrives.  We have.  Armed citizens stopped mass murder.  Armed citizens saved lives.

Americans Reject Democrat Party Lies On "Assault Weapons" :: 12/11/2015

Even 'Friends' on Supreme Court Diminish Purpose of 2nd Amendment :: 12/11/2015

Without explaining why, seven members of the Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear the Friedman v Highland Park challenge to a Chicago suburb’s clearly unconstitutional ban of so–called “assault weapons” and their standard capacity magazines. The reason why the Democrat appointees on the court did is obvious—they’re collectivists, and willing accomplices of the gun-grabbers.
