Taxes, my boy, taxes. Don’t tell us your continued presence in enemy territory isn’t working against the rest of us
-Union dues used to promote antigun politicians
-State/local taxes funneled to anti-gun groups, politicians (and subsidized by Uncle Sam aka those of us in pro gun states)
-Representation in the House apportioned by population, which will never be filled by pro gun politicians
-Contributing to the economy of your anti gun neighbors through business & labor
-Legitimizing oppressive gun control systems by continuing to endure them. If you ditch your assault weapon for a bolt rifle or pistol grip for a blade, you’ve effectively supported the premise that it is an acceptable alternative
-No, pretending you can educate hostiles doesn’t really work well enough if you aren’t convincing them to leave. No, you won’t be a test case, and even if you were, the local courts are so biased as to make the effort nearly pointless
-Most importantly, nine times out of ten, you support non-gun related policies and politicians that directly led to your current state of affairs, but act like you had no responsibility for the gun laws that came after.
So while barry was president you refused to pay your taxes? Refused to work and participate in the economy?
I can’t believe that when I got my first centerfire rifle in 1978, I was living in the San Francisco Bay Area. The M1 Carbine was $99 and came with two 15 round magazines. There was no 10 day “cool off” period and I didn’t have to register anything with the government. Full auto was an option if you could afford it. And you could buy any gun without consulting an “approved” list. I normally bought ammo at the Sears down the block and didn’t have to show ID to do so.
Now, none of this is possible if I were still living in the same state. I doubt if there’s even a gun store there anymore. So sad how far my old haunt has fallen.
Living in slave state NJ, I can attest to the fact that we are badly outnumbered both by blue snowflakes and vicious semi feral savages. We are denied our rights and threatened with jail for mere possession of a firearm outside the home. We have ammo restrictions, magazine restrictions an “Assault Weapons Ban” and more is coming with throwback liberal governor Murphy “Corzine 2.0” coming into office.
“So while we’re not constitutional law experts …”
This is perhaps the greatest problem facing our nation today: you have to be a “law expert” to have a snowball’s chance in Hell of prevailing in the courts — assuming that you can even get a court to take your case, much less a court with favorable judges.
What that means is that our courts no longer exist to serve justice. Rather, our courts are now a tool for the extremely wealthy to exploit the masses with an air of “legitimacy”.
Anyone of average intelligence should be able to state their case plainly in court before a jury of their peers and be almost guaranteed to prevail if their cause and evidence is right and just. All the procedural garbage and Latin language has no place in a court of the people.

I really like this concept….if only that were true!
You can certainly see your skills in the article you
write. The world hopes for more passionate writers like you who are not afraid to
mention how they believe. All the time go after your heart.
I’ll just keep my Hi-Point 995ts and the $300 I saved not buying the Ruger, and put the $300 I saved towards the 1095 ts. My 995ts has flawlessly fed, shot, and ejected every 9mm round I’ve purchased. If you don’t have a 9mm carbine and $600, give the Ruger a try. Otherwise, take a look at the Hi-Point 995ts.
Some states could care less about the our Constitution. Most political hacks could care less too. Just think of NY and commie kalifornia, the worst of the worst.
Not just a no but a resounding F*CK NO! This policy, effectiveness not withstanding, is insanely unconstitutional and doesn’t even attempt to adhere to our concept of innocent until proven guilty. I don’t care about the British mantra listed in defense of this policy, screw that I still don’t want some cop feeling all up on my junk and MRS.ATFAgentBob should they get a weird hunch that we’re the drug dealing axe murdering rapist couple that could just make their sorry ass career and get them that “private informant” coke whore they’ve been lusting after since they first booked her and she offered them anything they wanted to just let her go.
Absolutely not!
Violent criminals use their hands and feet more often than rifles and shotguns to murder their victims. If a rifle strapped over your back is sufficient cause for police to detain, interrogate, and frisk you, then having nothing more than working hands and feet is sufficient cause to detain, interrogate, and frisk you.
They use handguns much more than the other three combined. What about concealed carry of a handgun? You don’t answer one of the key questions presented by stop and frisk, a practice intended to discover hidden firearms or other weapons.
Other than for felons, that have it in writing as part of their parole, separate from regular parole(that they agreed to), NO! We are sliding down that slippery slope past a police state. We need to repeal the Patriot Act, the spying on the people, and the confiscation of money or other goods without a trial.
Mr. Grobman’s comments on Home built rifles are generalized and looses validity with me. Especially stating hey you Home built AR sucks, but let me sell you on this FN AR. Give me a break! I actually took a patrol rifle course, and guess what? A sheriff departments colt and a LWRC wasn’t reliable. The issue in not just home builds. All AR’s can have issues just like any mechanical firearm. Good luck selling your FN’s.
“The Pennsylvania Supreme Court will be deciding whether the mere open or concealed carrying of a firearm – in the absence of any criminal conduct – is sufficient to establish reasonable suspicion of criminal conduct,”
Imagine if….
“The Pennsylvania Supreme Court will be deciding whether the mere expression of Free Speech – in the absence of any criminal conduct – is sufficient to establish reasonable suspicion of criminal conduct,”
“The Pennsylvania Supreme Court will be deciding whether merely peaceably assembling – in the absence of any criminal conduct – is sufficient to establish reasonable suspicion of criminal conduct,”
“The Pennsylvania Supreme Court will be deciding whether the mere practice of your chosen religion – in the absence of any criminal conduct – is sufficient to establish reasonable suspicion of criminal conduct,”
“The Pennsylvania Supreme Court will be deciding whether merely petitioning the government to redress grievances – in the absence of any criminal conduct – is sufficient to establish reasonable suspicion of criminal conduct,”
“The Pennsylvania Supreme Court will be deciding whether the mere hiring of a lawyer to represent you – in the absence of any criminal conduct – is sufficient to establish reasonable suspicion of criminal conduct,”
I could go on, of course. But, I think I made my point.
If you guys are going to publish random quotes from random gun owners, PLEASE at least choose those which use proper punctuation and word useage. I swear that this site does more harm than good sometimes… What the help was this guy attempting to get across, and why devote time, money, and data into repeating it? This is pathetic. I was trying to avoid TFB after the Honor Defense cover-up, but I’m willing to compromise my values just to avoid the headache inducing stupidity TTAG puts out.

I now await being called a libtard snowflake.
what hell does the Navy do to you seamen to keep turning out lib tard vets. The Army, Marines are seemingly dead set red all the way until you start getting up to higher staff and flag officers. Even the Air Force is generally red in the enlisted and mid level officer corp. What the shit Navy?
No. No no no no no. Nope. Nyet. Uh-uh. Non.
And I have to take issue with the idea that “stop-and-frisk is effective in high-crime neighborhoods.” It has never been more than a very thinly-veiled excuse to use the police to harass and intimidate black people and thus “keep them in their place.” It is transparently unjust. No amount of juggled statistics can excuse or rationalize such an abuse of authority.
Public comment is just forming a database….
There should not even be a vote. If only one person wants a bump stock he should be allowed to have it. I’m sure if you put it to a vote anchovies on pizza could easily be made illegal. I’ll take anchovies on my pizza please, now pineapple that should be a crime!
That headline means the exact opposite of what you want it to mean.
That is the most ignorant, and just plain stupid statement I have ever heard. This guy is clueless. Does he think dangerous crime can never happen on a college campus? At the University of Texas at Austin, in 2010, a college student fired shots on campus with a AK-47. Fortunately he only killed himself, but could have killed many. In 2015 a young female was raped and murdered on the same campus. In the spring of 2017, a young male student was stabbed to death at lunchtime, on the UT Austin campus. Several others were stabbed, but survived. Just a couple of months ago, a student at Texas Tech University arrested for DWI, pulled a gun inside the Texas Tech Campus Police Department and shot to death a Texas Tech Police Officer. There is no force field or plastic bubble protecting college campuses from violence. Yes, college campus police need guns. Only a fool would say otherwise.
If it was a movie, I would want to see armed militia storming the police station to release the woman.
I found a magazine I was missing in the closet. I was pretty excited about it. Big highlight.
Cue the Cop hating comments in, 3…2…1…GO.
Mmmm…ate plenty of cougar kitty in my younger days. That’s good eatin’.
