Today, the chickens came home to roost for the NY Daily News. Fully half their staff will get the axe as a result of lost subscribers and advertisers. Furthermore, the owners of NY’s rabidly partisan newspaper also sacked editor-in-chief Jim Rich. For years, The Daily News has worn its leftist politics on the front page […]
With the NRA convention in Dallas over the weekend, the media have been hitting the organization, its members and civilian gun ownership in general hard for the past week. They’ve given the NRA the metaphorical full rectal examination, pointing out every flaw, blemish and polyp they could find to highlight. HuffPost, for its part, has […]
As we reported earlier today, the jihad that’s been undertaken by the civilian disarmament industrial complex and their all-too-willing cheerleaders in the media has taken its toll on the NRA’s public profile. The passage of the multi-faceted gun control bill in Florida — heretofore known as The Gunshine State — should have been sufficient evidence […]
In the video below, NRA Board member Ted Nugent lets loose on gun control in his usual no-holds-barred fashion (with extra shaky camera work). Yes, NRA Board member. So when the Motor City Madman speaks truth to, well, anyone who’ll listen, he is, on some level, speaking for the NRA. Is that a good thing? […]
Congress’ deadly dereliction of duty: Republicans are blocking action on bump stocks, which let semiautomatics fire continuously. That’s the headline at nydailynews.com. The anti-gun rights daily reader reckons . . . As the nation absorbed the insanity that civilians not only can buy weapons of war, but can equip them with bump stocks that allow […]
As some of our readers may know, I’m a member of the law enforcement community and I only write (badly, might I say) part time. Prior to that I was simply a fellow member of the People of the Gun and an avid reader of TTAG. I’ve been a firearms owner for as long as […]
The NRA is catching hell for its apparent acquiescence to the effort to restrict the sale of bump fire stocks. As Wayne LaPierre stated last night, NRA merely wants to “look at that and see if it’s in compliance with federal law, and it’s worthy of additional regulation.” But merely allowing the ATF to reverse itself […]
“Gun-owning foster parents to fight DFS removal of kids,” KSNV News3LV, Las Vegas, reported. Awakened by the screaming of angry neighbors on their property, Kristi Beber called the police as her husband Rod retrieved his gun – just in case the police did not arrive in time and they needed to protect themselves and the […]
DATELINE: WASHINGTON D.C., April 1, 2011 – President Barack Obama has joined the NRA. In a carefully-worded statement that will be released to the mainstream media later today, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney stated that the President is now a Life Member in good standing of the National Rifle Association. “The President has always […]
Recently, the Mexican Ambassador to the United States told the Council of Foreign Relations in New York that the National Rifle Association (NRA) should combat U.S. to Mexico gun-running by . . . sounding the alarm. “This would be a win/win for the NRA,” Arturo Sarukhan said. “They [would] ensure they are not being criticized for either […]
I’m off to see the blizzard…of products, keynotes (Palin, Beck) and some scintillating (I hope) seminars. (Let’s see…do I want to go to the one on “Refuse to be a Victim” or the one on “Advanced Sausage Processing”? Decisions, decisisons…) Anywho, I’m hittin’ the road, so my postings will be a little thin until I […]
The former governor of Alaska (that would be Ms. Palin) recently ignited ire on the left of the American political spectrum for a firearms-related metaphor on Twitter and gun-sight imagery on Facebook. More than a few Democratic commentators have connected the [alleged] dots between Palin’s Tea Party-pleasing anti-government rhetoric with gun ownership, gun nuts and, […]
