Obama’s State of the Union message focused pointedly on his desire for yet more gun control initiatives. This is exactly what we predicted when he first got elected – that he would do nothing on guns in his first term, so as not to endanger his reelection. But once he no longer had to run again, watch out. And, as predicted, barely days after the | Read More »
How does $89 for a 50 round box of 9mm target ammo sound? Well, if gun owners don’t get off their collective rear ends that may well be the “new normal” – and sooner than they think. I’m old enough to remember when cigarettes were 35 cents a pack. Thanks to the “war on Big Tobacco” they now go anywhere from $5 at the discount | Read More »
With calls for gun control becoming more numerous and more strident, it is increasingly clear that the Obama administration is intent on using “any means necessary” to restrict the average citizen’s rights to own and carry firearms. At the local level, anti-gun governors and state legislators are jumping on board, promising (threatening?) “serious” changes in gun laws. However, what is at least as disturbing, especially | Read More »
Following the gruesome massacre of school children in Connecticut, news stories have shared a common theme – that gun owners are now “ready to compromise” on guns. Unfortunately, too many of those on “our side” seem intimidated by the media, and unwilling to fight back. But they are making a huge mistake, both in terms of public safety, and our freedoms. Anyone who understands anything | Read More »
You knew it was coming. Democrats, hardly able to contain their enthusiasm for their new-found excuse for the kind of gun control they’ve always wanted, couldn’t even wait for the victims of the Connecticut shooting to be buried. From President Obama’s thinly veiled threat to the outright demand for yet another “assault weapon ban” from Democrats like Senator Diane Feinstein, the gun control zealots are | Read More »
In the wake of the Jovan Belcher murder/suicide case, sportscaster Bob Costas made his now well-publicized anti-gun rant during half-time of a football game. The reaction was immediate, and overwhelmingly negative. Surprisingly, a number of NFL players chided Costas for blaming guns, noting that 3 out of 4 of their fellow NFL athletes are gun owners, with few incidents of violence. Even super-sports-celebrity Charles Barkley | Read More »
The recent incident in Little Falls, Minnesota, in which two teenagers apparently broke into a man’s house and were subsequently shot by the home owner, brings into sharp focus the issue of what constitutes legitimate self defense. The story first broke just after Thanksgiving: http://brainerddispatch.com/news/2012-11-27/little-falls-shooting-killing-2-teens-sparks-homeowner-rights-controversy As a longtime firearm instructor and gun rights activist I am constantly amazed at the lack of understanding by the | Read More »
Now that Barak Obama has been reelected, the usual flurry of excuse-making and finger-pointing by Republicans has been even more intense than usual. “Democrats cheated!” – So what else is new? They always cheat. So get a big enough margin and it won’t matter. Democrats cheated when Reagan won 49 states. Who cared? “Obama spent millions on vicious attack ads!” – Once again, this is | Read More »
If there is anything that was made perfectly clear as a result of “‘Superstorm Sandy” it is this: America runs on ENERGY. But not just any energy. America runs on COAL, OIL, GASOLINE, NATURAL GAS, and ELECTRICITY that has been generated by coal, oil, and natural gas. The plain fact is that 99.6% or our energy comes from good old fossil fuels. Contrary to the | Read More »
As the handwriting on the wall becomes ever more clear, the Democrats are already gearing up to cry “FOUL!” should Barak Obama lose the election. You’ve probably seen the Michael Moore inspired video from the Marxists at MoveOn.org. It features (surprise) foul mouthed senior citizens threatening civil war if America dares to send Barak Obama packing: http://dailycaller.com/2012/10/30/michael-moore-moveon-org-video-features-dirty-mouthed-old-people-lambasting-republicans-romney/ Now, liberals using course, vulgar, and even violent | Read More »
