Sorry, Mr. President, you don’t get to decide what I “need” or don’t need…
Then he won’t take the self defense AR’s then. I guess though its daddy obama who thinks he can decide how a person defends themselves. He either needs to back off or get backed off, Randy
I’m sorry, I had to stop the video about three seconds after Morgan started talking. Who the #%#@ does he think he is to talk to people that way? I thought the petition to deport him was dumb, but now I kind of want to go sign it.
Another great photo!
” the daily gun deaths that do not make national headlines.”
How about some input on the daily lives saved and crimes prevent by legally armed citizens that do not make national headlines.
I’m envious of Jeremy Clarkson…

“The president said he wasn’t there to take any firearms from an average person who needs them for self-protection or sporting purposes.”
With the exception of my sporting .22 all of my firearms were purchased for self-protection.
Since I’m about as average as one can be, guess I was wrong to be concerned.
CAPTCHA is creepy but whatevs.
Practically every single day I am absolutely amazed and truly thankful at how astute and forward thinking our founding fathers were to compose the Bill of Rights. Without it we would have lost our 2A rights long, long ago, and assuredly many other rights would have been since curtailed as well. I really wish I could thank them personally. If I could travel back in time but just once, I would go back and thank them, and then warn them about just how crazy it has gotten even *WITH* the Bill of Rights!
As soon as I read that gabby giffords and her astronaut hubby were going to testify, your headline “Civilian Disarmament” is quite appropriate!
Just another dog and pony show.
No thanks, I have better things to do than watch!
The absolute right to self defence exists outside of any rule of law. Even if the 2nd Amendment did not exist, that absolute right would still exist. From Justice James Wilson (who drafted of the US Constitution):
was my post deleted?
I would champion rational discussion particularly because facts and logic favor firearms owners, but everyone with whom I have EVER brought up the subject is either an enthusiastic owner themselves or absolutely convinced that proximity to a firearm of any kind turns anyone and everyone into a homicidal maniac (unless they’re in a military or law enforcement uniform).
Oh god, now Johnson wants to blame optics.
Oh, that Martin Bashir…..
Nice jacket.
Three people were commenting on Facebook about how disgusting gun owners are because of this yesterday. I went back and commented how easily mislead the general public is when stuff is presented to them. I don’t understand how people aren’t angrier on a regular basis about how little truth there is anymore in the news anymore.
Hope the Sheriff kicks Piers but in the debate.
Great portrait of you and where you’re coming from, Crystal. Thanks for contributing it. I think you’re the current holder of the “opposite of the stereotypical OFWG” title. 🙂
But wait a minute…..I thought the President said that all the problems were because of Fox News and Rush Limbaugh….hey, what gives?
Its like they don’t even pretend to try anymore and why should they? They have their President insuring their access to him and his administration and making sure that their parent corporations keep getting those tax breaks.
Pro-gun Americans are giving too much attention and viewing time to PM.
Your kids fall asleep very quickly, I bet!
Further proof that in the face of a purely evil enemy and a stupid, drooling, lemming-like public, those few of us remaining who are true, honest, decent Americans are pretty much screwed. Hate to say it, but there’s no possible future in which things come out okay. We’re simply up against far too much overwhelming stupidity and evil. The only thing we should be doing is preparing.
State level preemption is one of my favorite parts of Florida’s gun laws.
When you bust into someone’s house, ya get what ya get.
I’m all for self defense, but I’m also really uncomfortable with how many people celebrate the antagonist being killed. You don’t shoot to kill, you shoot to stop the threat. If the attacker happens to get killed in the process, well, he brought it upon himself but its not something in which to revel.
Not exactly a huge deal given everything that’s going on right now, and I honestly haven’t looked into it that hard, but does anyone know of a class/teacher that teaches armed self defense to those with at least mild disabilities? I have to walk with a cane, so I’ve always thought these types of courses were out of reach for me, but I’d really like to take something.
“Viki Makrianis is taking a shower upstairs”
Oh’, you know Viki too?
What about a tyrannical gov? I thought the main purpose of the 2nd Amendment was as a check to a potential rogue state?
The right to self defense is a human right beyond any written law and is not the main reason for the 2nd A (the ‘teeth’ of the constitution).
I make a daily pilgrimage to my local Wally World to check out what ammo they have gotten in. When VP Biden was having his dog and pony shows, I hand delivered a letter to the manager of my store, advising her of my concern that Walmart might capitulate to pressure from the administration. She told me that daily she was getting complaints from customers about the lack of ammo for sale.
I spoke to her again on the day that the company instituted this policy and she assured me it was simply due to customer complaints and was seen by the company as the only way to “share”the scarce commodity amongst all of its customers.
She knew that I would buy a case of what ever they had shipped in and was relieved when I told her that I had no problem as long as it was across the board and without exception. She told me that she approved massive orders each day, but the product was simply not in the warehouses at this time.
The department manager has told me that they had representatives from small mom and pop stores come in prior to the new policy and buy all the stock of whatever ammo they had because Walmart’s price was less than their distributors were now charging them. In one case he heard the other store owner tell a customer to come on down to his store and he would re-sell him the ammo the man had just bought, but after a suitable markup. That caused some bad feelings.
He assured me also that there is no nefarious plan to eliminate ammo sales at Walmart, they are just trying to appease as many customers as possible.
this would be good as would remove the issues with printing, carrying while hiking, for us lawful bikers while riding..etc etc…since would apply only to permit holders, it’s not like everyone will carry, just the peoples who did the dance to get the permit.
Using the word “news” after Fox is a joke.
