Gun Hero of the Day: Rosenberg Texas Police Department

“Men… remember Valentines Day is about one week away…why not the gift of safety?” asks the Rosenberg Texas Police Department’s Facebook page. “Women…tag or share with the one who needs a little nudge in the right gift giving direction…” Three-hundred and fifty-two comments later – minus a few less-than-enthralled gun control advocates – and I think we have a winner! The Rosenberg Texas Police Department [click here for their Facebook home page]. “The sales manager at Tactical Firearms in Katy agrees with the police department’s message,” ksla.com reports. “‘In Texas, guns make great gifts,’ says Colin Van Dyke . . . Van Dyke thinks firearms as a present would be on-target, as long as she knows what she’s doing. ‘That’s a great idea as long as safety is first, because there’s nothing more dangerous than a complete novice with a firearm.'” Except maybe a rapist with a firearm. Which is why our name is The Truth About Guns and we approve of Rosenberg’s message.

  1. The great majority of felonies today are malum prohibitum, not malum in se, and have nothing to do with violence against another person. Lifetime prohibition on firearms or ammunition possession by ex-felons, is a 20th century construct. Just as record checks for firearms purchase are a product of the 20th century.

    Consider how your support for lifetime firearm prohibition for any violation with the possibility of a 1 year sentence, acts as the base for virtually all gun control laws. Gun control laws, that most here will agree, have no real effect on violent crime.

  2. Here’s a question for the POTG – would you trade “universal background checks” for “FFL’s are now the universal background check and once you have done yours, you can order anything, from anyone, from anywhere?”

  3. And if it is, well, as the antis like to say, if carrying more than ten rounds saves even one life . . .

    If the Second Amendment saves even one life . . . it’s worth it.

  4. He is an elitist of the worst kind. Out of touch with the reality that regular folks have to endure. He’s probably never been mugged, lost hard earned property or been under threat of physical violence.

I’m fine with it, you guys wake up in the morning expecting more, well… they released at the wrong time… all in all It was somebodies fault (Not looking at any company in particular) that shut down zombies, so infinity ward tried their best to replace it because of some stupid idiot out there that shut down Zombies, Ghosts is fine through my eyes.

  6. Hunting and target shooting are both good. Entrusting a firearm to one’s child is one of the greatest signs of respect a parent can provide. By doing so, you are saying: “I believe you are worthy of responsibly wielding a power that was once only granted to the nobility and those who served under them; you a citizen, not a subject.” I don’t remember the first football or baseball my parents gave me, but I do remember the first firearm and going into Montgomery Ward with my dad to pick it up.

  7. In Fulton Co.PA not far from the I-81 shooting, a man followed a man and woman home. He got out of his truck and walked towards the couple with a gun. When the man pulled out his own gun the bully ran to his truck and took off. Police caught him. This happened 2 days ago. Your right
