She’s cute, but none too bright. . . . .
Ladies and Gentleman, a special kind of stupid! Wow, there really grasping for straws aren’t they?!
There’s plenty of video footage of Democrats on the morning show circuit endorsing DiFi’s AWB and other similar legislation. Not to mention frequent speeches from Obama originally saying he wasn’t going to take your guns and then later reversing course. Whether their widely televised positions make it through the Senate is somewhat irrelevant at this point. They’ve made their beds.
Gun control never helps Democrats because only voters inclined to support it will vote Democratic anyway. There maybe a few gun control favoring Republicans but they are far out numbered by Democratic voters who will crossover in an off year election to support a Second Amendment protecting candidate.
Yes Progressives, this is your chance! Take to the media, loudly and proudly, and tell everyone how you feel that guns are bad! In fact, have your surrogates spend money to make sure everyone knows you support Reid’s anti-gun bill! This is your chance!!!!1!eleven!!!
This could have all been stopped at the beginning if the police told the complaining party that carrying a firearm openly in rural texas is not a crime. Follow up questions would be “Have you see this person hurt or threaten anyone?” “If not we appreciate your concern but the person is not breaking any laws.” If this little conversation would have occured then the rest would have never happened.
I was disarmed by a Sheriff as part of a complaint about illegal hunting once. He was polite even though I was carrying a loaded semiauto weapon and asked me nicely to unloaded it and hand it to him while he sorted things out. I was nice too because he was nice. He cleared me of wrong doing in 40 seconds. The complaining party happened to be telling a heck of a whopper and it came out in the cross examination on site. The problem about the situation was the DNR ended up escalating the issue to yelling and accusations when he arrived on the scene. The sheriff had been cool but the game warden was a d*ck. It comes down to the executing officer. The DNR did everything he could do in the gray area of the law to show his authority, the sheriff lost interest once it was apparent to him there were no laws broken.
Bullies exist, even in our “protectors”.
I think its up in the air. They are pretty far apart on the may issue and shall issue, but they do have a deadline. If they don’t pass anything by June we get constitutional carry. Todd V is the man and does wander for us

“…painting Democrats as gun snatchers will be tougher to craft”
No it won’t. Everyone knows what the truth is. Liberal progressives openly advocate gun confiscation; conservatives abhor the idea. But everyone recognizes the true objective.
Democrats (and many Republicans) ‘need’ to politically support this background check bill, but nearly all of them are also counting on it failing. Once it does, it’ll be “good riddance to bad rubish”.
Why do I get the feeling all of this could have been avoided if both the cop and the guy were less afflicted by confrontational macho bullshit, and just talked to each other like normal men. They each could have still been polite and professional while having a plan to kill each other. Remaining calm on both sides is the safest for everyone.
Actually, the democrats need a background check bill more than the Republicans. This is where Alan Gottlieb strategy can work. If he can help dictate the language, the democrats will vote for it and make light of their victory without knowing what they have given gun owners. If they do not like the bill and the language, then Republicans can say the democrats voted down background checks when they had a chance.
These are our guns, our freedom, our country and our GOD given right.
Why the hell should we give anything to those atheist, un- American, un-patriotic, Democrat sellouts. The Democrats are what have to go, not our freedom…
Why “non-traditional”? She’s been a gun owner longer than me, and I’m pretty dang traditional, dag-nabit.
I really don’t think there is such a thing as a “traditional” gun owner, just the media created image of the OFWG. I know belly dancing gun owners, transgendered gun owners, gay gun owners, liberal climate scientist gun owners, liberal artist gun owners, Christian gun owners, athiestic gun owners, white, black, hispanic, old, young, and perhaps my most dyed in the wool liberal I know has given me the blessing to take her children to the range. I like the idea of these exposés, I really do, but I don’t think it’s as rare as one might think. And that’s awesome.

RE: An ACP ‘Revolver’???!??!?!
S&W .45 ACP revolver — article
Is there such a beastie as an Automatic Colt Pistol, i.e., ACP, in ‘revolver’ format?
I’d LOVE to see a picture of it. It would probably sell for a fortune.
Regards,
Chuck(le)
[.45 cal, because it’s just silly to have to shoot someone twice.]
The Model 625, the M1917, etc. I have a 625. They sell for the same price as other N Frame S&W.
I was hoping for a Marlin .357 carbine later this year.
Listening to Sen Blumenthal right now is a bit ridiculous. “We can choose love”. Explaining how all law enforcement officers support assault weapons bans and magazine capacity limits. Wasn’t there just a poll published by policeone a bit ago?
even if unarmed and naked, a man that lunges at you may take your weapon. You have to assume they will try, and failure to act may end up badly.
SAF has learned the same lesson the pro-gun side learned in the ’90’s…if you ‘compromise’ on gun control legislation, the anti-gun side will put a midnight switch at the last minute and hose you.
That’s why the pro-gun side cannot compromise, because it spells defeat.
A great day for those Americans who worked their butts off to defeat this legislation.
