Did you even read the article from the hoffpost? Lisa is not a gun rights advocate toting a gun under her bra, she is a paranoid soccer mom who cannot comprehend that her safety should not rely on the sanity of others, but that she should take steps to be prepared to defend herself.
Hoplophobes ARE cartoon characters!
“Cursed is the one who trusts in a man…But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord.” Jer 1:17. I am proud to cling to guns and religion, and anyone who puts their safety or that of their family in the “stability of other people’s thinking” is a fool.
Thanks to the quick actions of the campus police, the minority squirrel population on campus can sleep easy.
I saw this video. I thought it was pretty funny actually. Wouldn’t it be funnier if the manager in the video had his own gun and shot back?
We do have a long history of attacks on the people and of self defense , sample were the many attacks by our American Indians , The French from Canada, and even during our Civil War were the Copper Heads who left bombs etc. So I take note also from history the answer is to go after the attacker , not to disarm the people as is going on now … so again 200 + history supports 2A….
Did the police the showed up carry muskets only as well?
And everyone ran like btches.
I want a T-shirt with that on it…so very very true.
calling photoshop police, 1, 2, 3…….
Julianne Moore and Philip Seymour Hoffman have both been in movies using guns and doing bad things with those guns.
PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH, STOP PROFITTING FROM PORTRAYING VIOLENCE OR STFU.
Repeat with Giordani rifle- see the results. Technology was not as primitive as people would like to believe at the time.
Gun confiscation , as I posted about 6 weeks, ago lead to the slaughter of 151 Lakotas mostly, women and children at Wounded Knee. In their accelerated effort to enforce Federal “law” they also killed 31 of their own while wounding an additional 33 troops. But a grateful nation bestowed the CMH on 3 of the
killerser soldiers for gallantry in the face of the savagery of defenseless people who’s land we invaded.In the above the following sentence:
“In their accelerated effort to enforce Federal “law” they also killed 31 of their own while wounding an additional 33 troops”
Should read:
“In their accelerated effort to enforce Federal “law” the Calvary also killed 31 of their own while wounding an additional 33 troops”
I don’t anticipate any better treatment when it’s our turn.
In contrast to this lady, the day after Sandy Hook my one and only thought was: “Wow, the world is really a lot less safe than I thought. We need guns. A lot of guns.” and … “Arm the schools!!” (a current personal drive of mine now for my school district; 4 schools are armed so far, working on more.)
My dad was a shooter and had a large gun collection. When he passed about 5 years ago I got his P230 Sig Arms handgun. My brother also a keen shooter got everything else. I had done a little shooting with Dad and my brother over the years when I was younger and living at home, but nothing serious. The P230 sat on a shelf next to my unused deco ashtrays and SQL Server textbooks for all these years … Until December.
My husband and I have established a nice arsenal in the past 4 months, all at my urging and my bankbook. He’s rolling with it and developing some mild enthusiasm. Once he lays his hands on something he really likes I’m sure he’ll be all in.
But I am sure a lot more comfortable now. Looking forward to getting conceal carry (Illinois) very, very soon (but not holding my breath.)
We were one of the 500,000 new NRA members since Dec 2013 and we also joined Illinois State Rifle Association and the GOA. Looking into NAGR – don’t want to spread ourselves too thin. We love the people involved in shooting as we are very outdoorsy and independent anyway (we live on a horse farm in the country.) We have met a lot of great people and look forward to meeting more. Will probably be joining our local shooting club this year (Sycamore Sportsmans Club) they have an awesome outdoor range set in a beautiful 270 acre facility with camping and hiking (which we LOVE) but no horse back riding, boo 🙁
how he miss?
As a proud heterosexual male who appreciates beauty as art, I would like to say I quite enjoyed the image used. Thanks. Thank you so much.
I can see 12 year olds across the country waiting on a NICS check for blackcats and snap-pops.
Looks like regular old fireworks may have been a key component in Boston:

Time to start reminding people that the boston bombers also used/bought fireworks mortars, which are already classified as explosives, and don’t require a backgroud check.
