The Truth About Guns does not encourage nor condone shooting another human being unless that someone poses a direct, credible and imminent lethal threat, and imminence is imminent. It doesn’t matter if the person or persons posing the threat are criminals, crazies or government representatives. Self-defense. That’s as far as we go. That said, war. Also: we’re not afraid to report the fact that gun bloggers (including yours truly) predict that slave state gun grabbing will end in tears, as the Brits are wont to say. Not without provocation but still . . . Over at naturalnews.com, Mike Adams takes it all a step further. What if the United States Supreme Court refuses to strike down civilian disarmament laws? Uh-oh . . .
If, somehow, the U.S. Supreme Court finds these new state gun restrictions laws to be “constitutional,” such a decision would be equivalent to a declaration that the court has openly abandoned its only real duty, which is to halt overreaching laws that violate the individual rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution and its Bill of Rights.
At this point, there would be widespread realization that the judiciary is an occupying enemy force acting in violation of their sworn oaths of office. If such a scenario unfolds, I theoretically predict, but do not condone, the likelihood that disgruntled individuals, having been stripped of their freedoms by a clearly illegal and unconstitutional judiciary, would take it upon themselves to assassinate U.S. Supreme Court justices who violated the Constitution as well as key high-level members of the federal government. Again, I’m not condoning this nor advocating it, because I do not believe violence is the appropriate path to a long-term solution in all this. However, I cannot deny the possibility of a decentralized, spontaneous armed response to the “long train of abuses” that liberty-loving Americans continue to suffer under today.
With my tin hat flattened and safely stowed in a kitchen drawer, with my friends close and my Glock 30SF closer, I have a hard time imagining any scenario where gun guys would target members of America’s highest court—never mind successfully. I pray to God nothing like that ever happens, nor would I do anything to encourage it. Period. But the discovery that this idea is out there, somewhere, is deeply worrying . . .
I know what you’re thinking: TTAG shouldn’t be publishing this “information.” Giving the idea the oxygen of publicity aids and abets those in government who want to paint The People of the Gun as terrorists; a designation that would give the DHS, ATF and God knows who else the power to trample all over the Constitution (thank you Patriot Act) and rain merry hell upon us.
Obviously, I hold a different opinion. American gun owners are already on the government’s radar. Sitting in their crosshairs. Anyone who thinks that the new and “improved” universal background check system under consideration in Congress isn’t designed to more easily monitor law-abiding gun owners, for example, hasn’t been paying attention. Or suffers from willful ignorance.
Anyway, while it may not be particularly helpful to rattle the beast’s cage, why not? What was it Jefferson said? “When governments fear the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.” Also something about not going quietly into that long good night.
More to the point, then what? What happens after the Supreme Court [theoretically] has to duck and cover? Oh wait. Adams wants us to consider the prequel.
At some point, the law-abiding citizens of America, when repeatedly oppressed, provoked and denied justice under law, will reluctantly decide that “following the law” is irrelevant. They will take up arms and begin to physically fight for the liberties that are being incrementally stolen from them by tyrants at both the state and federal level.
Globalists appear to be attempting to trigger precisely this reaction. The gambit is to see if a small reactionary group of “terrorists” (i.e. anyone with a gun who fights against oppression) can be cajoled into committing acts of violence that would justify the declaration of Martial Law and a nationwide gun confiscation domestic military action. If such an act of resistance cannot be provoked, it can always be engineered and pulled off by the FBI which is already well-practiced at staging terrorists attacks in the USA, then recruiting hapless stooges to frame as “terrorist masterminds” to be arrested.
This is where the “stuff” really hits the fan, because we’ll see all-out war between various factions of gun grabbers vs. gun defenders. Big-city police will attempt to shoot and murder sheriffs. Patriot groups within the U.S. military will mutiny and take over entire units to protect and defend the Constitution. A military coup might target top administration officials in Washington D.C. Regional wars might break out between urban (gun control) and rural (gun rights) communities. And the big kicker? Obama might call in the United Nations to aid in “halting the terrorists,” setting off an international war against America and the Constitution. (This may be Obama’s ultimate end game.)
Now that’s just silly. The U.N. bit I mean. The blue-helmeted boys may not be the world’s worst troops (unless you’re talking about raping children), but they’re certainly in the top five. U.N. “peace keepers” are a piss-ant part of an armed forces welfare system for militarily-challenged nations. Besides do we have to involve everyone in this just-because-you’re-paranoid fantasy?
Back on planet earth, Adams’ prequel to his prequel makes a lot more sense. The author reckons gun control laws in slave states will create a black market—with subsequent backlash. A vicious circle.
Driving guns into the underground economy will effectively construct a huge infrastructure of underground gun production, distribution and delivery, allowing anyone who can buy pot right now to be able to buy guns in the near future. Gun shops that presently follow federal laws for background checks will be put out of business and replaced by underground gun smugglers who follow no laws whatsoever.
In response, the federal government will multiply the budget of the ATF and declare a “war on guns” that will be roughly as successful as today’s miserable “war on drugs” — a police state fiasco that has done nothing more than fill the prisons with innocent victims while justifying the outrageous growth of police state agencies like the DEA.
Now that I can see: a festering wound that grows more fetid over time that eventually leads to . . . a rollback in civilian disarmament, either through the courts (yay) or the ballot box. Then again, will the courts strike down slave state prohibitions? Or will this thing spiral out of control over guns and other liberty-related issues? Watch this space. And for God’s sake, keep your powder dry. [h/t DK]

Yes, as you said, put troops along the border; put the rest to work rebuilding our bridges, roads, dams, vital infrastructure.

This is a PSA. A message to federales, governement agencies and municipalities.
The purpose of the message is to punctuate and reiterate that they have high standards.
The speaker says others give cartels a bad name by killing and violence: cartels who want to extort and sequester (?) should go to other states. Other cartels have disrupted families in other states and are not welcome in Jalisco.
All of them have to live clandestine lives.
He says their cartel are there to maintain the Mexican way, a standard of life for families and a business model – not to disrupt the lives of others.
He also says liars extortionists even if not in the realm of the drug business will be dealt with accordingly.
He says they have all the resources necessary to maintain their business model. They are in a position to maintain their standards
Clackamas?
Somebody better let these guys know that criminals are not allowed to carry “assault weapons…”
Hey folks,
I live in Blue Minnesota and you might know that we “gun guys” are fighting hard to keep our 2nd Amendment rights as well. I just arranged to take my local elected representative to the gun club soon, for a little shooting one afternoon. I asked, she said “Absolutely and can I bring my husband” and I replied “Absolutely”. I will have her running my black -bull-barreled 10/22 and my heavy-barreled Bushmaster flattop target set-up as neither have much recoil and are very accurate and great fun to operate. At least one of our club officers will participate and we hope we can turn it into an enjoyable afternoon “photo-op” for her and us. There might be a few hoops to jump through on the “photo” thing but we’ll work on that. If all else fails, we just want her to have a good, safe time and hopefully something really good to take back and share with her fellow legislators.
One other thing I did was to go on the Minnesota BCA site and compiled all the information I could about murders (1124) over the last ten available years. Interesting stuff. As I expected, handguns were involved in 50% (581) of the murders; Rifles in slightly over 3% (37); Knives were almost 16% (178) and hands/feet were used in about 12.5% (140). After compiling the info it was e-mailed to my list and to several state senators and reps. Interestingly, some were not aware of the actual figures. BTW, the BCA gets the info from the County Sheriffs and does not break out the type of guns used in the murders (ie: semi-auto, bolt, pump or revolver) so there is no way to legitimately claim they were “assault weapons” without fabricating it.
Do what you can. Jim
I do sincerely hope that we can pull back from that brink. The trouble is that control freaks are biologically incapable of letting go. The best approach now is to show them up for the fools that they are–and study what might be necessary in the future.
Here in Arkansas, the shelves are bare, but the laws are getting better. I just bought reloading equipment to put myself more in control of my ammunition. My carry license is recognized by forty states. We’re also open for business.
“Giving the idea the oxygen of publicity aids and abets those in government who want to paint The People of the Gun as terrorists; a designation that would give the DHS, ATF and God knows who else the power to trample all over the Constitution (thank you Patriot Act) and rain merry hell upon us.”
I beg to differ: our government is already trampling all over the Constitution without any assistance whatsoever from the Armed Intelligencia.
Agreed
I agree. But I think its better at this point to stand together than to shoot separately.
Wasn’t Colorado going to call in the FBI? if those pesky sheriff’s don’t do their duty. This is not the FBI of old, this is any asswipe who wants to be a G man & can spell “it” now are one. Milwaukee had the FBI sting operation where they had their guns stolen including a machine gun. o & co better be a bit carefull, Randy
You really can’t compare the US and India anyways.
The overwhelming majority of sexual assaults in the United States are between those who know each other. While it tends to make headlines, the stereotype of the lurker in the ski mask raping a woman they don’t know is incredibly rare.
I don’t necessarily have a problem with the argument that a gun is not as likely to be helpful when a woman’s assailant is someone they’re intimate with, like a friend or a family member or a romantic partner. That in a domestic violence situations a gun in the home just as likely to be a liability of a benefit, since it can just as easily be used against her instead of in her defense.
That’s not an argument against gun ownership, simply an acknowledgement that a gun is not the solution to every problem. That some problems are more complicated than others.
Except in India roving bands of men raping women they don’t know very much IS a reality that women face every day. That’s precisely the kind of scenario where a tool like a firearm, which equalizes the disparity in strength and numbers, can be of immense benefit.
i feel a little pessimistic. i feel like in ca if you talk about guns you will have the swat waiting at your door. on the bright side, i feel ammo is a little easier to find than a month ago.
People keep skipping over Kentucky. Is there a reason for that? We accept anyone’s valid CCW here and the Louivsille area is all the civilization you would ever want.
Anyone else notice the MG-34 on the left?
If the Pro Gun folks were as violent as the Anti Gun folks say we are there wouldn’t be any Anti’s left alive…
I’ll go you one further. If we were HALF as violent as THEY are…well it would be ugly.
Hmmm, seems odd given their current track record on the 2nd. They have struck down major parts of liberals anti-gun laws. In Heller they even left an opening for further strike downs. You no, the whole cant ban arms in common use. With the current make up of the court I can’t see them upholding many of any of these news restrictions. 5 of them anyway. We are already know the leftists on the court are just a rubber stamp for the progressive agenda but the other 5 have been solid it seems to me.
Natural News seems a bit nutty anyway
Oh, forgot my main point, never comply with being disarmed to a level weaker than law enforcement (miltia). Civil disobedience may need to play a role in the near future. Jesus, Ghandi, Martin Luther King
Cool, the birth of a new state? If you’re familiar with the writings of Augustine, that may be what we’re looking at here. A baby government. Censured today, worshiped tomorrow.
What gets me is the utter hypocrisy of these politicians; they pooh-pooh the concerns of US citizens because according to them, most don’t know or understand gun laws, yet happily admit that most politicians don’t even READ let alone study any & all firearms Bills that they vote on.
Perhaps there ought to be a test for each & every Bill, where the politicians have to show at least SOME knowledge of what it contains in order to be eligible to vote.
Make it that 33% of eligible legislators must cast a vote for any Bill to progress & 90% of dumb laws would never see the light of day.
feinswine better get ready to go down there & confiscate those illegal weapons. bloombastard will spend millions on Mexican TV, nato will go in there & kick ass. No? I wonder why, Randy
liberals I know are pissed I sent them this link. 🙂
Wow! My retirement house is under construction in AL (leaving Kalifornia) and I’ve just obtained an AZ CCW which has reciprocity with AL. Looks like I’ll be free to carry for me and my wife’s protection when we spend this summer there. As an added note, in an AL Walmart parking lot, we leave our car unlocked while shopping and feel safe whether we choose to carry or not. In a Kali Walmart parking lot, we can’t carry, always lock the car and feel unsafe.
I think the likely scenario to watch for will be that of one or more conservative justices dying of “natural causes” right before any 2nd amendment cases are heard.
I love how they closed the comments section of the article.
That being said I wanted to say you don’t have a constitutionally protected right to have a car, or a swimming pool. Both kill more children every year than any gun does.
By all means if you think you have the votes repeal the 2nd amendment, go ahead.
You see since we are fighting for our rights to make our own decisions which are protected as a right, then the civilian disarmament crowd just can’t handle it. Yes there are laws against drunk driving but many still do it, so public perception is a false one. People hate smoking, but thousands still do it. Murder by any means is illegal but people still do it. Drugs are illegal but millions still do it.
You see none of those fall under the constitution, but it is just about saving just one life right? Then why don’t we take away everyone’s cell phones so you don’t text and drive, maybe fill in all the pools in the world, mandate no car go over 30 miles an hour.
We have heard the civilian disarmament crowd loud and clear, they are looking to take away all guns piece by piece. They are using the powers of commerce clause, and anything else they can think of to take them away, but a disarmed populous will simply turn into a Mexico or UK. It is certainly not difficult to understand, and we have video proof that this is their ultimate end game.
This is why we will have no more compromise.
Every time you guys (or the SAF) point out an article in that moonie-owned rag I feel like we lose a bit of credibility.
I giggled equally
I find comparing and contrasting the comments about Dan Baum between here and the NY times’ comments sections interesting. Dan has one thing in common he is vilified by pro-gun and anti-gun people at the same time. He’s a long haired flag burning anti-american hippie gun grabber here and a baby killing gun fanatic on NY times.
Shout out from “Liberal Occupied” IL……
Shout out from “Liberal Occupied” IL……
Hardly any ammo in the “central downstate” region. Glad I have a .300 win mag, @ least Wally World has that in stock.
Only thing I can be “optomistic” about is the fact that a change IS coming, be it good, or bad, @ least it’s coming. Our current regeme in DC seems to think that the “mass’s” that “cling to their religion and guns” will go along quietly with what is happening.
I’d tend to dissagree, but, I’m only 1 person too…..
Cool video, Nick! I’d like to see more of that.
I’ve said this before. If you think the government is capable of planning and implementing a complex and long term conspiracy it’s obvious that you’ve never worked for them. 30+ years at federal state and local has left me with the certain knowledge that if there is a vast government conspiracy it’s quite accidental and is not being controlled by anybody.
Sort of like that old line about a 100 chimps banging on a typewriter over a 100 years will get you a shakespeare play. Or something to that effect.
I have no doubt that if the government had over a billion rounds of ammo delivered it was lost in the system, stolen by the people handling it and used to make up shortages in other programs to hide the ineptitude of various managers and bean counters.
Go Granny go!
In the spirit of what I’ve criticized others here for, and eschewing hypocrisy – it appears Sportsman’s Guide MAY HAVE it. I didn’t look deeply into it.
Perhaps in a warehouse in Vera Cruz? Just a guess, no positive info..
He’s lucky it wasn’t a fatal error in the victim selection process as Ayoob says, Randy
The “victim selection process?”
That’s a good phrase.
I stopped reading when i saw “Naturalnews”.
that place is the biggest pocket of retards after the new york times comment section and Illuminati/Rapper conspiracy theorists on youtube.
I’m sorry, but did you decided to get a refill on your face lotion and go out with your man purse when your wife told you that the Hoppes 9 had to go?? Come on – man up and if she doesn’t like it, don’t clean the guns in the same room as her…
Men these days… jeez.
Wow, uproot your whole family and everything they have, know and love just for your guns. Selfish.
No, it’s for Liberty.
Loss of gun rights are a leading indicator of loss of liberty. Raising your children in a slave state may be convenient for you but some of us have higher hopes for our kids.
My reaction to all this bull feces was to get my wife and two daughters guns of their own and teach them how to properly and safely use them. Keep in mind my wife was someone who ‘supported the 2nd Amendment’ just not when it came to her….or me….or our kids….or our house….so this was a major breakthrough.
I’ve taken them all to the range a couple of times each but it’s been limited because 1) I don’t like shooting indoors, especially with the kids because space is tight and it makes it more difficult, but not impossible, to give direction. 2) It gets expensive to take four people to an indoor range with any kind of regularity 3) Ammo availability/pricing has been well…you know. The important thing is they all look forward to the next time we can go shoot!
Very cool to see reports like this from the home state!
Pessimistic here in MD (no joke – look at our latest new laws !).
While you can never have too many guns, I suspect my buying days are over, at least until I move out of state, which is a done deal. So just buying ammo in bulk, online. Already have lots and lots of standard capacity mags for all I own.
Laying low, otherwise. Even after becoming politically active locally, it was not a waste of time. But a waste, none the less. In this state, the only way to influence things is to register as a Dem, keep track of the primaries, and vote out everyone we can.
I’m currently very pessimistic. But then I’m always pessimistic.
Things tend to go from bad to worse in this country lately. We have a radical leftist President who’s already appointed two very leftist Supreme Court justices. He’s likely to have at least one more crack at it before his second term is up–and that justice will likely also be replaced with a very leftist judge. We have a Congress half full of people who either want to take our rights away, or who won’t admit to wanting to take our rights away. (Either way they stopped listening to us years ago).
I believe more and more states will fall as the years go on. More and more restrictions will work their way from the coasts inland. New England and California now. In 10 years? Everything around the Great Lakes, everything north of the Mason-Dixon, everything west of Texas (except maybe Montana, Wyoming and Idaho). In 20? Gone. The swing states of today will be solid blue by 2020 (now that voter fraud can be accomplished with impunity) Texas will be a blue state by 2030.
Of course the nation will go bankrupt and the economy will collapse long before any of this happens, so it’s sort of moot.
“Budget cuts” being the key phrase, I smell another unintended consequences of the sequester gimmick.
I picked up a Remington 770 (.300 win mag) to attempt almost the exact same thing. I was surprised, it obviously doesn’t hold a candle to my 700 (also .300 win mag) but I’m only a little over $400 into it, including scope, and I can hit targets out past 600 yards all day long.
The action is a little rough on the 770, like everyone says, but otherwise, I’m very pleased, I’m going to go against the grain and say it’s not the junk rifle the internet has claimed.
However, I don’t see making out past 750, I think I have squeezed all the performance out of the 770 I’m going to get. Keep in mind, I tossed a cheapo Tasco 2.5-10x 42mm varmint scope on the thing. A better scope would get me out a bit further, but at the end of the day, I’m thinking that I’ve bumped up against what the rifle is capable of, even with a better than average shooter.
If somebody, anybody, gets assassinated over gun control, I see the anti’s using that as an “I told you so” moment. They’ll say “This is why people shouldnt have high powered handguns(.22s), or assault weapons (garands), or sniper rifles (anything with an optic).”
They’ll say “this happend with only one bullet (ala JFK). If this can happen with one, how can we allow you to have 30? Or even 7? One bullet turned this nation upside down. How can we possibly allow this?”
Or they could just stage something “for their greater good”.
Unless some one uses an FBI special (fully automatic reciprocating bear claw hammer with spare magazine clip chambers and a black thingy that goes up). then we’d be safe. Not condoning that or advocating it in any way though.
Malloy reminds ME of something I hastened to flush this morning.
The resemblance really IS astonishing!
A very interesting discussion for sure….but ultimately pointless. A looming (1, 5, or 10 years??) financial collapse will be the lynch pin for civil unrest or worse in this country. Financial Default in its various forms bill be the harbinger and what comes after that is anyone’s guess. I recommend, if you haven’t already, surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals within your community and/or state that share your political/philosophical persuasion. Continue to work to bring your desired outcomes to fruition, but I believe we’ve passed a point of no return.
+1
That doesn’t mean freak the hell out…but it does mean don’t be so foolish as to assume that the USA will never become like ancient Rome.
The only thing talking about assassinating government officials like judges,etc will accomplish is to get yourself arrested.The 1st amendment doesn’t cover threatening someone’s life.However,fictional treatments of such ideas are protected as any thriller novelist or film maker can attest.
so I guess the Second Amendment does not cover resisting tyranny, and that in fact, talking about resisting tyranny in a broad manner equates to treason?
Yeah, that logic makes sense.
How about arresting Judge Andrew Napolitano? “The historical reality of the Second Amendment’s protection of the right to keep and bear arms is not that it protects the right to shoot deer. It protects the right to shoot tyrants, and it protects the right to shoot at them effectively, with the same instruments they would use upon us.”

Governor Malloy,
Sir, remember when you were bending over backwards to get Freedom Group, (Bushmaster) into Stamford, CT, to set up shop, and you wanted to give them a 1M dollar loan to do it? No? Well, we do.

If you look closely, you can see the strings being pulled by Obama, and Crazy Uncle Joe’s hand up his back operating the mouth.
Not being able to drive to the local sporting goods store and buy 20 round round boxes of .223 for around $8 and 50 round boxes of 9mm for $13 whenever I wanted, like I could 5 months ago, is heart breaking.
I bought a M&P shield 9mm in mid February and haven’t found any ammo to shoot through it, so I don’t even carry my new carry gun… this sucks.
hear that sucking sound? That is his national office hopes going down the drain. Sorry Homie, but flyover country don’t play that. Your career is over. Enjoy.

Note to Governor Malloy, “Red Dead Redemption” is not a documentary.
After we are neutered to .22 cal rifles and pump shotguns, how will our officials protect us from these murderous hoards?
I guess they won’t/
Luckily in colorado the signs dont carry the weight of law, they have to know you are carrying and ask you to leave. I carry at all times and dont care if they have a sign, if they ask me to leave i will, and wont be back either way. The mall in oregon was posted too but the young military man was carrying anyway and was the likely reason the nut killed himself. I will defend myself and anyone else i can and take what comes.
This post angers me.
My SR 40 had to be sanded on barrel cam, the backside of it, because the casting lines wouldn’t hit the pin, which would walk out (front pin) which most likely made the hole bigger? You could see the hits on the pin. It even walked out after sanding, so I took out the cam, and the little spring was right in place. So, I tried locktite, and the pin walked out again. Then I noticed the peening of the barrel where it meets on the right side of the gun (which happens to be were the pin walks). Sure enough, a burr had to be sanded. Well after making sure the barrel wasn’t striking any pins and all springs were working, taking off the burrs, yes I found more. The pin still walked out.
So with 100 rounds, in it, I staked the lower pin with a roll pin.
The gun shoot straight, I mean real Straight, but I think my gun will end up looking like the pic’s you find on google pictures (SR peening). Heck, I most likely ruined the warranty.
After all the reading, some people say they’re great, I guess I just got one run off the line during the great Obama buying spree, and ruger just cranked them out and made look good on the outside.
You know, I paid 478.00, and maybe if they had an few more inspectors at the factory, they could grade the guns. Sell me the ruger “hand fit yourself” gun like I got for 478.00, then sell the good ones and Call it the SR Delux, for 578.00, then the ones that really look good call them the Ruger super Delux…. for 600.oo. This could of been rugers 1911.
I’m kinda mad I put some dings in the finish, and had to do a little sanding, it matches under the trigger though, so no big deal.
I did have time to run a mag through it yesterday, no pin walking. But at the price of ammo these days, I think I just take my cz rami alloy, until prices go down and I can put about 500 round through it.
My advice on buying a Ruger SR 40, go shoot it “only 50 rounds), go buy some 1000 grit sand paper, a few roll or spring pins, and the right size punch, so you don’t screw up finish. The burrs will show up well after 50 rounds. Check the lug on the barrel, especially the part behind the takedown pin.
Sure like the way it feels and it dead on, and the kick for a 40 is nill. No failures. Heck and now mine looks a few years old after 100 round, what a deal!
Maybe a dedicated company can copy it and maybe do some hand fitting. I would of paid 150 buck more for this gun if Soooo many things would have been taken care of, lets say on the inside of the gun. Sure looks good new. Mine looks older than some of my guns that have 500 or more round on them. Should of sent it back, but I didn’t. Oh well, it will be fun to see if it falls apart. I have other rugers, and you know they all have some, usual cosmetic defect on the outside of the gun. This time it’s just the other way around.
Mike
This quote was hilarious to me: “If you get licensed to carry a handgun, you can carry it anywhere. But you have to be trained at least as well as a police officer.” The ammo shortage has severely restricted my range time, but when it was available, I shot more than an NYPD precinct. Which isn’t saying much, I know.
That statement cost Dan a lot of credibility in my book. Anyone who thinks of cops as some sort of benchmark for gun proficiency is not serious about guns.
Did some research and hoping that a thorough cleaning and running the gun wet will help with the above problems. Seems to have helped others with similar issues. We’ll see…

They’re standing on the corner and they can’t speak English.
I can’t even talk the way these people talk:
Why you ain’t,

And then I heard the father talk.
Everybody knows it’s important to speak English except these knuckleheads. You can’t be a doctor with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.
In fact you will never get any kind of job making a decent living.

What part of Africa did this come from??
We are not Africans. Those people are not Africans; they don’t know a thing about Africa …..
I say this all of the time. It would be like white people saying they are European-American. That is totally stupid.
I was born here, and so were my parents and grand parents and, very likely my great grandparents. I don’t have any connection to Africa, no more than white Americans have to Germany , Scotland , England , Ireland , or the Netherlands . The same applies to 99 percent of all the black Americans as regards to Africa . So stop, already! ! !
With names like Shaniqua, Taliqua and Mohammed and all of that crap ……… And all of them are in jail.
Brown or black versus the Board of Education is no longer the white person’s problem.

People used to be ashamed. Today a woman has eight children with eight different ‘husbands’ — or men or whatever you call them now.
We have millionaire football players who cannot read.
We have million-dollar basketball players who can’t write two paragraphs. We, as black folks have to do a better job.
Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids, you are hurting us.
We have to start holding each other to a higher standard..
We cannot blame the white people any longer.’
~Dr.. William Henry ‘Bill’ Cosby, Jr., Ed..D.
WELL SAID, BILL
It’s NOT about color…
It’s about behavior!!!
The grabbers continue to parrot the same mindless fear:
“disturbing”, “shocked”, “appalled”, “insensitive”, “offensive”…
I’ve heard the same words again and again for grabbers in other venues. These people have no independent thought. Only group fear.
Rebuffing them only fuels thier impotent rage.
I don’t think I would have shot the BG unless I had no other choice. But I sure as heck would have made him drop the gun and bury his nose in the rug. Then I would have called the cops and waited for them. These creeps must not be allowed to get away with this crap or they’ll just do it again.
I’ve had people try to tell me that hollow points have steel cores that make them armor piercing…Like, yeah, sure. Whatever. No amount of facts will dissuade them from their beliefs. San Francisco just enacted a hollow point ban, and no, they we not interested in hearing any evidence. The only evidence allowed was at a committee meeting, and it was scant (by design).
Thank you and your staff for all of your efforts RF- despite the limitations of TTAG you point out here there are also many benefits TTAG provides. Pro-Gun America needs to be rallied into a vocal group right now and I believe this site has helped make that possible.
Obligatory reminder: Call your Senator this week and leave a message demanding that they oppose any new gun control law! The switchboard number is (202)224-3121 . A list of Seantors up for reelection in 2014 is here if you want to leave an extra message or two.
How many Cops take (or have taken) anti-anxiety meds and/or anti-depressents?
Will their firearms be taken as well?
Agreed – we need to see the actual words of the legislation, not statements/summaries/etc. before we can be sure of what it is.
One thing that puzzles me. The talk of regulating online sales (of guns, I assume, not ammunition). Any transfer of a firearm, from the resident of one state to the resident of another state , presuming neither holds an FFL, has to go through to go through an FFL at the receiving end already. Other than the fact that a buyer can make the arrangements of the sale, such as order or agreement to buy, and payment online, the physical transfer remains the same. So basically, it sounds as though the only change involves gun show sales. The appearance of doing something, while not doing much at all.
Also, realize that CT – Blumenthal is looking to put an amendment to that bill that would require background checks on ALL ammo sales and require those who sell ammo to keep records to whom they sold it too. So, while the main bill may be junk, watch out for the amendments
Ugh! Yuck! Bleah!
