Yesterday, the US Senate voted on the amendments to the S. 649, the gun control bill that you have most certainly heard almost non-stop media coverage about for the past month or so. We’re not completely out of the woods yet, but all of the amendments to the bill failed, which is a good thing. After the voting, President Barrack Hussein Obama threw a temper tantrum at the Whitehouse, continuing to use the worn out …

Online retailer Cheaper Than Dirt!the online retailer most recently known for jacking their prices sky high, and stopping the sales of modern sporting rifles after Sandy Hook  has released a post on their blog called “I Support Toomey-Manchin and You Should Too!”. This smells of propaganda to me. They go through portions of the bill, and only point out the “good” parts, neglecting to tell us that under this bill, “online gun sales” has an …

A friend sent me a link to this article a few minutes ago, and I thought it was an interesting read. On one hand, I like the idea that we may expand some of our rights that have been taken away previously, like selling guns across state lines and whatnot, but on the other hand, I don’t believe we should be compromising our rights. Not one inch. What do you think, did Alan Gottlieb “snooker” …

Last week Sen. Burr pledged support of the Rand Paul fillibuster in the Senate. Well, it appears over the past couple of days that he has decided to change his mind, and vote along with Democrats like Harry Reid, and Diane Feinstein. Just minutes ago, Mr. Burr, the supposed pro-gun Senator from NC voted to advance the gun registration universal background check bill in the Senate. I found the following on the National Association for …

In the video below, ABC11 does a story about counterfeit gun “parts” that were part of a raid conducted by federal authorities in Cary, NC. Notice how they interview neighbors, the classic “my children play on that street” line, etc. The fact of the matter is that these counterfeit parts were most likely knockoff molded buttstocks, AimPoint, and EOtech copies, foregrips, etc. Certainly it’s a crime to sell them as the real deal, but it’s …

I don’t know about you, but frankly, it scares me that Joe Biden is 1st in line for the presidency, should something happen to “dear leader”. Those on the left tell us over and over again that gun control is about the children, or about keeping the streets safe, or whatever the catch phrase is this week, yet, even slow Joe Biden seems to get it. He knows that gun control will do nothing to …

I have a good bit of distaste for most politicians, but I’ve got to say (and I hope I don’t regret this) I really like Senator Ted Cruz from Texas. I’ve listened to him speak several times when he was running for the Senate, and even though he’s only been in for a couple of weeks, he’s showing that he’s a man of his word, and appears to be keeping promises. Yesterday Sen. Cruz spoke …

This weekend every major news outlet has picked up the story of Jovan Belcher, a NFL linebacker who murdered his girlfriend, killed himself, and left his young daughter orphaned. Jason Whitlock, of Fox Sports published an article damning the 2nd Amendment, asking the following: ” How many lives have to be ruined before we realize the right to bear arms doesn’t protect us from a government equipped with stealth bombers, predator drones, tanks and nuclear …

Near the end of the 2nd Presidential debate between President Obama, and Gov. Mitt Romney, President Obama was asked a question by someone in the audience about gun control. Obama responded by saying that he would like to reinstate another assault weapon ban, like the one that President Clinton signed into law in 1994. Obama went on to say the following: “…but I also share your belief that weapons that were designed for soldiers in …

Has anybody else heard about this? A “Violence Tax”? My guns aren’t violent, and even with thousands upon thousands of rounds down range, my guns have never shot anyone. I wonder if this was a great idea that the Chicago goons got from their #WhatifChicago twitter hashtag? Cook County mulling violence tax on guns and ammunition
