The content of this booklet was contemplated, written, rewritten, and endlessly modified in the very difficult weeks following a series of tragic, mass-shooting events. It deeply saddens me to write this. More to the point, it saddens me that we live in a society with so much senseless violence that something like this needs to be written. Truth be told, sad is not the best description of my state of mind. I started writing this when I was angry. I was angry when I completed it, and I am still angry . . .
I will carry this anger for a long, long time. I am angry at the monsters that killed innocent people: the mothers, fathers, grandmothers, grandfathers, sons, daughters and worst of all, the small children. My anger does not stop there, it proliferates to the gun grabbers, who, without a stitch of shame, stoop so low as to exploit these tragic events to promote their lies and fear mongering in ongoing attempts to further disarm law-abiding citizens . . .

To gun prohibitionists: If you claim to be a gun owner and then claim to support further restrictions on gun rights, please be more specific about what gun or guns you own. That way, we can all understand what kinds of guns you feel are permissible. Clearly, you can’t mean that you own any kind of semiautomatic, because those are all “assault weapons” now–yes, even Grandpa’s Baby Browning. Or maybe you think semiautomatics are OK, as long as they have a low capacity like the gun or guns that you own. Because surely you wouldn’t own something that you want to have outlawed, would you?
I could watch her shoot ALL DAY LONG…
I keep finding myself staring at her jeans.
Nice safe gun you got there Blake, with that bolt action, Randy
I went shopping for a GSR. Got excited when I saw TWO on the rack! Got less excited when I saw they were both lefties. Grrr!
Isn’t requiring a gun owner to be insured a commercialized form of gun registration? All the State needs to do is one day order the insurance firm to turn over all the names and addresses of gun owners and presto there is the list.
I believe the arguments on both sides are based on a false premise: That this “insurance” would actually BE insurance. It’s not, and it won’t be.
It’s not actually insurance. It’s another TAX… the equivalent of a poll tax (tax on your rights).
I bet it will be a flat rate based on the number (and kind) 0f guns you own rather than actuarial tables calculating any sort of risk.
These new laws (NY) and proposed laws (CA) are so “ambitious” and draconian, that it may work in our favor. They are so blatantly unconstitutional, they should be easy pickings to strike down in court. Just my opinion.
Last week I read that Illinois is in the process of preparing to release many inmates doing time for violence do to lack of funding. Now Chicago is talking increasing the prisoner population. Wonder what next week will bring.
It’s probably banned in California. It doesn’t look very drop safe.
Do I love that? Why yes, I sure do.
That mag machine is 100% bad ass…and that guy signing that stupid song is too freaky, he set off my gadar…
Page 12 Typo: “tow tuck” should be “tow truck”…
Love the rifle.
On the tryanny thing, I can remember just a few months ago, all my friends of the more “progressive” persuasion were telling me we were paranoid, nobody was out to get our guns. I wish they’d quit proving us right all the time.
Its not that Shicago has a gun problem. Illinois has a Shicago problem.
I’m not a regular church-goer either, but the Maria Lyth photos did elicit something about “Sweet Jesus.”
I’m one more pro-gun non-Christian (agnostic, in fact), so I would like to make one request.
Dear Christians, especially those of you eager to metaphorically give the heathens a kick, could you PLEASE leave religion OUT of the gun control debate? You don’t see us non-Christians attacking your faith here, try to extend the same courtesy to us.
They are getting desperate. Despite the media onslaught the public is not being swayed to their side. Gallup released a poll today that shows Obama’s policies only have a 42% approval rating.
I wonder how things would have gone if he had a back-up weapon in an ankle holster.
