First the judges and now this. I have heard of this position before but I thought it had to deal with the rules of how a bill passes a vote. Now it appears the Democrats have found another way for unelected people to exercise power and thwart plans of those that were elected. Just more back...
This is hilarious. JD Vance created a blue sky account and the tolerant moderators kicked him off in 15 minutes. Lol.

This is weapons grade incompetence on the part of the trump administration. Someone's head needs to roll, even if it is Trump's national security advisor (Michael Waltz). A journalist for the Atlantic magazine was included on a text group that included Vance, Hegseth and others discussing the...
Interesting reading. Top line summary:
While civilians with concealed handgun permits stopped 51.5% of the active shootings in non-gun-free zones, police stopped 44.6% of the cases (124 arrested or killed by police, 32 committed suicide when police arrived = 156/350 = 44.57%). Interestingly...
A great resource that shows the second amendment protects an individual right to bear arms, despite the comments of that eternal dipshit Warren Burger. Plenty of material to throw in the faces of liberals who ignorantly insist the second amendment is all about militias...
Morons and guns are a bad combination. At a "campaign event" for democrat senate candidate Lukas Kunce (rhymes with dunce) a reporter was struck by shrapnel. Kunce was with another idiot Adam Kinzinger. Apparently they wanted to show how tough and manly they are. Except they were shooting at...
Our ultra responsible employees in the FBI apparently might be selling parts of guns that are supposed to be destroyed.

An excellent video that brings home just how little time a person has to deal with someone attacking with a knife. A cop was forced to shoot a woman who came after him with a knife. Unfortunately she was able to strike him a couple of times before he shot her.
Personally I think he should...
Monroe county in a response to a federal lawsuit argues the second amendment only applies to militia and not private citizens. I would say it's hard to believe this type of historically ignorant nonsense would be used in 2024 but that's how deep the anti-gun mentality is...

You can't make this stuff up. It's impossible to think the legislators can do anything dumber but I'm sure to be proven wrong soon. Gun stores need to post signs warning guns are dangerous. Just like tobacco I guess...
I suppose it was inevitable that some idiot would get a grant to study this. But guess what? Their hypothesis (small punishment size = more gun ownership) wasn't proven by their data!
Academics really are some of the most ignorant and bigoted people in this country...
A new bill of course promises to "hold individuals liable for certain types of conduct." But if passed it will be abused.
Key takeaway:
However, a new bill making its way through Congress known as the “Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act of 2024,” would make all of this illegal or at...
Someone actually compiled a list. The short answer is they can be very effective.

Low rent hypocrite.
The figure may not be 60% but I would bet more than 50% own guns based on the sales volumes over the past few years.

Obama and biden are the two greatest gun salesmen in history!
A report on the Uvalde shooting in TX seems to make the case for outlawing AR-15 rifles. In fact, the exact opposite conclusion is the real lesson in this well written piece:

So for the past few weeks every saturday morning there seems to be issues with this site. Sometimes I can't even get on it. Other times when I do there is a huge lag in response times. Sometimes I click on a forum and get an error message "500 Internal Server Error".

Of course they did. Surprised the CDC published statistics on defensive gun use in the first place.

Very difficult to discern what is going on because the audio (suspiciously) doesn't come on until the shooting starts. Denver police identify and shoot a suspect but wind up hitting 6 bystanders as well. Was it a good shoot? Very tough to tell under the circumstances, particularly since there...
According to this tweet, Rochester registered 75 shots in the past 24 hours.
We're #1! No way those pussies in syracuse or buffalo can match that. Thank you lovely warren!
I thought this was an excellent summary of the recent supreme court cases. The conservative justices validate their decisions based on the constitution. The liberals don't even reference the constitution in their dissents, just liberal talking points...

What if there was a school where "troubled teens" could go? What if, in the name of social justice and equity, metal detectors were removed and police officers replaced by crisis counselors? There couldn't possibly be a shooting there, right? And if there were the media would make this just...
A writer named Charles Cooke is a contributer to National Review magazine (don't hold that against him). He's a Brit but one of the best defenders of the second amendment in the nation. He is offering an online class on the history of the 2nd Amendment for $40. Because it's online you can...
