We noted in an earlier post that nostalgia is creating a new type of shooting sport. In years past, Cowboy Action Shooting became very popular and was actually the largest form of shooting sports outside of the traditional games like trap and skeet. The Baby Boomer generation grew up on westerns starring John Wayne, Henry Fonda, Glenn Ford, Gary Cooper, Roy Rogers […]
We’ve covered Florida gun control group Ban Assault Weapons NOW! and their proposed ballot initiative that would ban “assault wepons.” But let’s take a closer look at what the proposal would actually do if it becomes law. If approved by voters in 2020, it would outlaw most semi-automatic rifles, transforming Florida from a state with still somewhat […]
The New York Times weighs in, once again, on gun laws: There are a lot of lawmakers prepared to say almost anything, no matter how nutty, in their role as worker bees for the National Rifle Association. But it was sort of surprising that the lead ranter was from Florida. They’re referring to this: “I […]
As we reported earlier, there is a push to pass an “assault weapons” ban in Florida via a ballot initiative to amend the state constitution. This is being spearheaded by Ban Assault Weapons NOW (BAWN), a bipartisan group of gun-grabbers made up of Republican and Democrat authoritarians who want to see law-abiding Floridians disarmed. Now their […]
A Parkland resurrection this week due to the upcoming anniversary: The bullets fired by an AR-15 are different: They travel at a higher velocity and are far more lethal than routine bullets fired from a handgun. The damage they cause is a function of the energy they impart as they pass through the body. A […]
Fred Guttenberg, parent of a Parkland victim is a rising star in Florida gun control circles. A new beginning in the fight for gun safety!!! For the first time in over 8 years, our House Of Representatives is holding hearings. Forget what we did not hear last night, it begins this morning. pic.twitter.com/x82Ts3jZFM — Fred […]
Yesterday at 12:30 p.m., officers responded to a 9-1-1 call from inside a SunTrust bank location in Sebring, Florida, about 80 miles south of Orlando. “I have shot five people,” the caller stated. According to reports, there were only five people in the bank at the time, and 21-year-old Zephen Xaver forced them to lie […]
Florida’s new Commissioner Agriculture & Consumer Services, Nikki Fried (D) has selected Mary Barzee Flores to be her Deputy Commissioner over Consumer Affairs. The Ag Department, among other things, is responsible for running the state’s concealed weapons permit program. The appointment of Flores isn’t a good thing for Florida gun owners. Here’s a little background of […]
The 2019 Legislative Session is upon us in Florida and once again, the state is under Republican supermajority control. The Senate President, however, is anti-gun Republican Bill Galvano (who took $200k from Michael Bloomberg) and the House Speaker is fellow anti-gun Republican Jose Oliva, who gave SB 7026, the gun control bill signed into law by […]
David Hogg is back and as indoctrinated as ever: Ninety-seven percent. That’s the overwhelming percentage of Americans who are in favor of universal background checks. No issue in American politics is more universally agreed upon than this. Yet nearly 40,000 people died last year due to gun violence. When our school was shot up, we […]
Our own Luis Valdes fears that a Democrat-led initiative to end private gun sales in America will pass in 2019. I’m not sure what kind of liquid he has in his gun control Magic 8-ball, but in my view, federal gun control efforts will remain a lame, three-legged dog that just won’t hunt during this […]
I’d like to preface this accounting of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High failures on Valentine’s Day 2018 with this reminder: no one is coming to save you; you are on your own. The South Florida Sun Sentinel has compiled a comprehensive and disturbing timeline of what happened — and didn’t happen — that day in Parkland. […]
