“My greatest fear is that someone will break in and I won’t be able to decide what gun to shoot them with.” Dan Bilzerian has a good time. And he has quite the gun collection. And cars, women, boats, planes and money. Oh, and a great face of hair. The pic and quote above are from his Instagram machine (NSFW) . . .
If you aren’t familiar with the professional poker player and firearms enthusiast, there’s some light reading here and here to help. “When I was a kid I never wanted to be classy, I just wanted to be rich.” He can check that one off the to-do list, I suppose.
Is this kind of conspicuous consumption a net positive for gun ownership? ‘Normalize’ it, glorify it, give it some celebrity status, include it as part and parcel of the coveted lifestyle that nets Mr. Bilzerian his massive social media following? Here are a few more firearms-related photos from Instagram. Well, some of the non-R-rated ones anyway.
Shout out to my buddy, “German Peter,” for showing me how the other side lives.
Pedal Faster! They’re Getting Away!
Well, this guy’s house is going to be a prime target during the next major poker tournament.
Omg =( wonder if hes looking for a live in best buddy
This may be the only country we are not sending our tax money to. If we were, the cop would be in a hummer…
And for backup they have a trained Chihuahua in the back.
Like the character Zero Mostel played in Mel Brooks “The Producers” said, “Flaunt it baby. Flaunt it! “
Three heart attacks before the age of 30. Yikes. Maybe go a bit easy on either the girls or the guns. Or at least on the boats.
I HAD a Buckmark with the slab sided bull barrel. It was very accurate and felt wonderful in my hand. Unfortunately my wife thought so also. She does let me see it every once in a while. So I am back to my Ruger single six. I may try the 22/45 lite next time- she doesn’t like those.
Back in the late 1980’s, I was an Army LT at Fort Devens, Massachusetts. A squirrel got into my neighbors home when they left a window screen open. It literally destroyed their kitchen! The carnage left by one squirrel was amazing.
Urrà per cavalleria militari!
It’s kind of funny, though, that a country founded by Vikings should be so peaceful.
Vikings AND Irish.

Reminds me of Ray Stevens’ “Mississippi Squirrel Revival” starring Sister Bertha Better-Than-You…

I do. She is 100% right. Where do I sign up?
I felt she nailed all the points extremely well with a level of wisdom and maturity I rarely see anymore in a person of that age group, and she didn’t go down a single rat hole.
She has another video out regarding some very pointed questions to our LEO’s and gives me some much-needed hope for the next generation!
And the libtard (democrat) commie turds scream “please report to the showers to inhale the Zyklon-B…I mean…de louse”, for the children. “Big Gov” statist monsters.
I wouldn’t be surprised that some jack-booted Neo-Gestapo thug threatened him.
There are hundreds of “wrong-house” SWAT raids (READ: we’re kicking in someone’s door today even if we know it’s the wrong one), and how these criminals-under-color-of-law deliberately shoot and even beat to death cowering dogs and cats that are no threat to them whatsoever. Hell, all one has to do is look at the BATFE’s very long and very well-documented — and abolishment-worthy — history of civil rights abuses. None of these “officers” — nary a single one — ever faces prosecution from behind The Blue Wall of Silence.
The cops that execute these crimes, and it’s usually only just a handful of assholes out of the bunch, should themselves be executed. The otherwise good cops that stand by and defend these murderers should be charged as Accessories. There’s no fucking excuse for it. AT ALL.
“Okay, I see the skid marks so I know somebody’s been “drifting” and I’m here to do something about it.”
From the article linked about (2700 rounds of ammo) he was attending school for a criminal justice degree. I imagine that he would have an interest in crime (newspaper clippings), even a school report of some kind. Especially since Newton happened so close
And he is not being charged for carrying on school grounds (school policy only?), only for having an assault rifle in the back of his car that a witness claimed to have seen him carry around (or lifted up in the back of his car?).
Although I thought that Conn. residents had till the end of the month to register “assault weapons”. Or am I missing something?

The more I find out about this situation in this case, the more I believe they will try to make him out to be a victory for ‘gun-control’ laws.
Oh wait, here’s more. Seems he was also into concerts, human society for animals. Was nerdy, had lots of friends that he played video games with.

I’ll say it again. The more I read, the more I see “Salem witch hunt”. I really hope one of the gun-rights organizations steps in and helps him out to at least lower the charges (improper storage of rifle) or corrects the anti-gun PR campaign. Right now he is being castigated as a physco because he had newspaper clippings, owned guns, and secured them in a locked room. How many people does that describe?
The most suspicious part about all that is the newspaper clippings. How many 22-year-olds do you know that still buy frickin’ newspapers?
FLAME DELTED Some kids deserve to get bullied.
There’s more to be upset with than ever before. It will happen. The only question is when – maybe in 2 years, maybe in 200.
Refresh my memory, weren’t the changes made to Germany’s government that swept Hitler into power done as emergency legislation?
At what point do we declare war on those that have waged an undeclared war on our rights? (I say undeclared because most would deny that this is what they’re doing.) If we wait too long, we won’t have the means to defend our rights. My hope is that what we’re seeing are some last gasp, hail mary attempts by the gun grabbers while more people are waking up to reality and tooling up. The only way they succeed is if they convince low info voters that this “is for our own good”. The way we succeed is if we inform the low info voters.
You all have done a good job of parsing-out the concerns and problems with this “mental-illness” tactic of the gun prohibitionists. Thank-you,
For me the statement that got my attention was “Liberty is a never-ending struggle.”. Here, in the United States of America, the greatest living experiment in Human Freedom that has ever been seen on this Planet, it should NEVER be necessary to pen such a statement. The fact that it is (and I think RF is absolutely correct in penning it) speaks volumes about the situation we presently have in this Country.
I recognize clearly that not everything that has happened in the U.S.since Our Constitution was ratified and implemented has been as right and proper as the ideals behind Our Constitution, and we have plenty of room for improvement and plenty to feel abashed about. I think The Founders expected The Republic would improve and evolve. I think they recognized there might be future events they could not accurately foresee (we were largely an Agrarian Society at the time, and the Industrial Revolution was far over the horizon…an unknown). They did not abolish Slavery, nor anticipate the severity of the clashes we would have with the Native Americans. Plainly put, they made mistakes both of commission and omission. BUT they laid a foundation upon which more people experienced the benefits of Personal and Social Liberty, pursued their dreams, created wealth for themselves and others, invented new technologies, attracted new immigrants that brought fresh energy and ideas to the Country, worshiped as their conscience dictated and produced the greatest, most diverse and free Nation the World has ever seen. For everything that we Americans may have done wrong, we did a hundred things right. We have historically acted to amend Our Constitution to improve and evolve The Founders’ ideals. We rallied to save the World twice from some of the greatest Tyrants and Despots ever seen. We set standards that most of the rest of the World still aspire to.
We did all this BECAUSE Our Constitution was designed to enable every person to realize his/her own potential and personal aspirations by acting as a free Human Being pursuing their own “Life, Liberty and Happiness”. Again, nope, it has not all gone perfectly and there’s plenty of room for improvement, but Our Constitution provides for us to improve and evolve The Republic as long as we revere and act upon the ideals The Founders embodied in Our Constitution. It may be that foresight was The Founders’ greatest genius.
Now RF has to write “Liberty is a never-ending struggle. “, and there’s the rub of what is wrong in this Country today. Liberty, itself, should be a foregone principle that is automatically a part of everything, every Citizen, Politician and Bureaucrat considers doing or legislating. The only valid question ought to be “How can we protect and improve the Liberty of every person (living or unborn) within our borders?”. I agree with what RF says, but I point-out that the context in which he is forced to say it is that Liberty is in jeopardy of being denied and infringed, not in the appropriate context of how it can be strengthened and enhanced. That context can, and should be, an ongoing struggle. It is the only acceptable struggle where Liberty is concerned.
The only insane people referenced in this discussion are those who are creating the context in which Liberty is in jeopardy of being denied or infringed.
