I understand Mr. Stevens’ anger and condescension. While I know that stridency doesn’t win hearts and minds, to quote Miles from Risky Business, sometimes you’ve got to say what the f. Or, in this case, up yours.
Love a straight shooter.
Do rallies accomplish anything other than preaching to the choir? No, they do not. Much like the libertarian party. Especially when you bring your guns to the rally. The rallies are suppose to be the exercise of the 1st over the 2nd. Having a show of force (openly carrying your gun) takes away from that.
The media will just ignore and down play it if they can. Only when it benefits them to “report” about the rallies, they will do so.
The only thing that matters currently is the “Law” and future laws. You can cry all you want over how your rights have already been infringed and you can cry even more when they are further infringed. It doesn’t matter how angry or sad you are about it, no one is going to help you, the law is the law.
Until people stop talking amongst like minded people. Until people educate others about guns via hands on experience. Until good people run for office and win or good people hold their current representatives to their responsibilities and duties. Until the laws and agencies that have brought us to where we are today are removed. We will not have any true restoration of our human rights in this country without leading to violence.
When you cannot take your gun outside without putting it in a bag that looks like a guitar case just to go to the range. When you open carry there is more than one person calling the police even though they saw you pay for the merchandise. When you have to hide the fact you have guns, especially anything like an AR, AK or FAL from your neighbors or family. You should already know America has lost a lot of its greatness and you will have to spend your entire life helping pick up the pieces with a very small minority.
Considering people think a standard magazine is a high capacity, assault clip, for fully automatic, high power, killing machines, that have no place in 2013, because the government will protect you. It is clear there has been generations of failure to educate and failure to protect human rights.
What a shame.
*Mic drop*
More people need to say “what the f&*%”, and get the people that supposedly represent us back to reality. He nailed it pretty succinctly. Well said Mr Stevens.
Strident or no, those b*stards deserve to be spoken to that way. Doesn’t happen nearly often enough. Well done, Mr. Stevens, from a fellow American.
They earned it.
it is important to expose the public to guns as much as possible, because the more common a sight guns become the less likely people will freak out and call the cops when they see one. which is why i now OC everywhere i can.
I don’t threaten violence, I simply state that my rights will be defended. No one has anything to fear from me unless they’re threatening me. When they propose all these bans they are obviously willing to use violence to enforce them., and that is threatening.
This.
Mr. Stephens wasn’t threatening. The politicians are threatening _him_ by overstepping their constitutional bounds.
Mr. Stephens was merely stating a clear and present conviction that he will defend himself from that threat with deadly force, if it comes down to that.
Bravo!
You forgot jury box which goes before ammo box.
I applaud you Mr. Stevens, “From my cold dead hands” as well.
preach brother!
Thanks Will!
Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about. Ladies and gentlemen you know as well as I do that the right to keep and bear arms is an inalienable right, it’s time to show that SOAB Obama and Frankenstein herself that you mean business in the fight for freedom. Keep fighting to protect your 2nd Amendment and don’t make the mistakes of the god forsaken rock that I call my home made not protecting ours (English bill of rights 1689 article 7, my nations almost forgotten RKBA.) .
I noticed the fascist garbage in charge deleted a bunch of my comments.
Again I see that this forum is less about gun advocacy than it is right wing extremism. Leftists own guns too, you just don’t want to hear about it. 🙂
Give that man a cigar!!! Good to hear sense from CT.
The political terrorists are working harder than ever to disarm their tax cattle…The dollar collapse must be near.
BTW-It is truly shocking that your great TTAC website was over-run by mentally retarded brats…It was to be expected. Bertel is so bad at shock-n-awe journalism…it is almost embarrassing.
The army that is going to be attacking your house is the US government or UN troops.
The NRA should be kicking down the doors of men like that with job offers.
That father is someone we can all relate to. Mr. ColionNoir, and many others out there should be talking with the NRA and the SAF, and be put in front of rallies nation-wide, waking people up to their rights being stripped away.
If anything, that gentleman was far too polite, and well-mannered.
The only way someone will be able to remove my ability to defend my family is by stepping over my bullet-ridden, and mangled corpse.
One more thing to add, that’s off topic:
Everyone in the gun community knows the phrase “Μολών λαβέ” (molon labe) “Come and take them”, but there’s another Ancient Greek/Spartan phrase that users of firearms should know as well:
“αἴκα.” (aika) “If.”
The story behind that one-word phrase:
At the time of the invasion of Philip II of Macedon, with key Greek city-states already in submission, Philip II turned his attention to Sparta and sent a message: “If I win this war, you will be slaves forever.”
Another version is: “You are advised to submit without further delay, for if I bring my army into your land, I will destroy your farms, slay your people, and raze your city.”
In both versions the Spartan messenger sent back a one word reply:
“If” (αἴκα).
Both Philip II and Alexander the Great avoided Sparta entirely.
Yeah, being a Classical Studies major has its benefits in introducing people to useful Laconic phrases.
Find it funny liberal retards say gun control isnt working so we need more of it. Shows the dead head fascist mindset of the liberal New England mind.
Lets blame everything but the BG.
What’s the gun crime rate like in New Hampshire and Maine where all those evil guns are free to jump into people’s hands?
If crime isn’t up by the same amount as MA, then I’d say there’s some problems with the idea that lax gun laws elsewhere are feeding MA crime.
Somebody should inform Criminologist James Alan Fox (WTF is a criminologist anyway?) that crossing state lines to purchase a handgun without having it transferred from the out-of-state FFL to an in-state FFL is already a Federal felony.
And if the “crime guns” are rifles, nobody in the Commonwealth over 18 needs to cross state lines to buy one. MA is a “shall issue” state for traditional rifles and shotguns, and the age to get a rifle-only FOID is 18.
The guy’s a lying douchebag.
Being originally from one of the big states that you can’t hardly drive across in a day, I suspect a lot of this is just because those states up there in New England are, you know, really small…..
That sucks i almost always agreed with Ron Paul until now.
FVCK YEAH!!!!
Laughable.. I can guarantee you that they didn’t get anywhere near the responses they should have to have an accurate polling from places in the sticks where, quite frankly, they couldn’t give a rats ass about your damned poll.
“Maybe it’s time for someone to take the keyboard and smartphone away from the angry old man before he really embarrasses himself.”
That “time” has passed.

Ah, man. That was epic. Brought tears to my eyes, it was so awesome. It may not do any good, and they probably don’t know it, but the politicians sitting behind that bench really needed to hear that.
At its core, this debate is about natural, inalienable human rights. The right to keep and bear arms in defense of yourself, your family, and your country isn’t the only constitutional right that’s under attack right now, but it’s the most visible.
2/23 happens to be the day when Bolsheviks got their @$$es kicked under Pskov and Narva (1918) and the Battle of the Alamo started (1836). Just pointin’ the symbolism out…
I suggest this post be removed, as it is rather irrelevant to The Truth About Guns.
All you are going to get is a bunch of hate speech and nationalism/militarism. We don’t need a bunch of men stroking someone’s ego because they wear a uniform and have killed people.
Everyone says something dumb this is the case but his son Rand Paul is one of the best Senators there so I wont hold this against him.
Isn’t Massachusetts the state that had a gang boss so bad, the FBI had to let their informant kill an extra twenty people “for free” just to keep their hand in the game? Rather than worry about guns coming in from New Hampshire, the surrounding states should restrict felons from moving out of Massachusetts. Much more rational.
The political class does not want to admit their policies are failures or take responsibilty for the consequences will always seek to put the blame on others. Why has gun control failed? Why it must be because the other jurisdictions have lax laws!
To hear Rahm tell it the gangs get guns in the suburbs but you have to have a valid FOID to buy guns in Illinois. They get them in Indiana and Michigan except you can’t buy a handgun out of state.
Bloomberg always blames Virginia for NYC gun crime. What I don’t understand is why the bad guys just don’t move down here. It would be so much easier than tramping back and forth between New York and Richmond. Maybe NYC gangstas are just too sophisticated for us yokels down here.
The POTUS out playing Progressive Demagogue, advocating the disarmament of The People, while missing his FIFTH Budget Deadline and failing to act in any effective manner to actually cut runaway Federal spending, create jobs and keep the Dollar from collapsing ought to demonstrate clearly to any American Citizen that he has an agenda ruinous to the Country he’s supposed to be leading. The most incredible fact is that about half the Country is incapable of seeing this farce for what it is. We are in deep, deep sh*t.
The similar system for the Jericho 941/Baby Eagle has a stock. It looks like an SMG. The glock has a similar setup from the same company.

Probably. But right now, they would be at the stage of the Martin Freeman character in Se7en. “Okay, what reason do we have to be at this door right now.”
Some aggressive stupidity going on here, as usual. What do you think the anti’s “I Am For Gun Control” photo contest would look like? You think they would bash those that included “I am a republican”, I am religious”, “i voted for Romney” in their photos, as long as they pledged their support for gun control? They would welcome them with open arms for working to change the stereotypes and perceptions from the “inside”. But this community prefers to eat their own F$#%# tails. Even if you don’t agree, keep it to yourself and let the adults talk. We’re trying to accomplish something here.
I’m just wondering where Jessie Jackson has gotten all his great information. After all he is just a Spartenburg SC Preacher
I have been buying from FreedomMunitions for a couple of years and always found them to be reasonable, reliable, and with excellent quality and service (I have NO connections with them). Almost all of what they sell is high quality reloads, not factory new ammo.
Last weekend they posted on their Facebook page a “Krazy Deal” on 500 round cartons of your ammo (limit one 500 round carton per person) for the 200 cartons that they had in stock, for $199. While much higher than my last orders from them prior to the current craziness, I tried to buy a carton, but they had apparently sold out within minutes of its Facebook posting.
FreedomMunitions is so overwhelmed with orders that the periodically “turn off” their online ordering system, such that EVERYTHING says “out of stock”.
Late last year they opened a location in NW Houston, but I never made it by there. I can only surmise that their Houston location may be bare as well, but still may be worthy of a visit just in case…
