NRA board member Ted Nugent pushes conspiracy theory that Parkland school shooting survivors are actors – All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players. So in that sense, the Motor City Madman (and NRA Board Member) got it right, right? Otherwise . . .
“Nugent ‘liked a comment left below his article claiming that one of the students, David Hogg, ‘is a paid crisis actor’ who ‘has been at multiple shootings as a ‘survivor’.” With all this gun news I feel like a crisis actor. Crisis? What crisis? This one . . .
Houston-area school district threatens to suspend students who protest after Florida shooting – Right answer!
Needville ISD Superintendent Curtis Rhodes on Tuesday threatened to suspend any student who disrupts schools or walks out to protest current gun laws.
In a letter sent to families and published on schools’ social media sites, Rhodes said students would face a three-day, out-of-school suspension if they joined in growing protests nationwide over the shooting at a Florida high school last week . . .
Rhodes said the school district is sensitive to violence in schools, but said his schools’ are focused on education, not political protests.
“A school is a place to learn and grow educationally, emotionally and morally,” Rhodes wrote.
“A disruption of the school will not be tolerated.”
Seventh-grader clinging to life from self-inflicted gunshot – Firearms-related suicide attempt in the boy’s room puts Washington State elementary school in lockdown . . .
When sixth-grader Leena Jones heard the announcement of a school lockdown, she and her classmates knew what to do.
That’s because Jackson Memorial Middle School students have drilled for instances when a gunman might be at the school. The students secured themselves in locked classrooms. Because she realized it wasn’t a drill, it was scary, Leena said.
A Jackson Middle School seventh-grade student was clinging to life Tuesday at Akron Children’s Hospital for a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The student, whose name hasn’t been released by police, was taken by helicopter to Akron after being treated at Mercy Medical Center.
Authorities said they did not know the condition of the student who shot himself in a boy’s restroom at the school about 7:50 a.m. Tuesday, 10 minutes before school was scheduled to begin.
My Son Loves Guns – Liberals are strange, deeply conflicted people. At best . . .
What I’m worried about is that I know the day will soon come when I can’t shield [my seven-year-old son] from news stories. Soon my son will understand that despite everything I have told him, there are people who don’t want to separate the feeling of power they get from acting out in gun play and the feeling of power they get from murdering real human beings. And the worst fact of all: that killing machines like AR-15s are sold in regular stores, that anyone can buy them, and our government refuses to enact the laws that would protect our children from them. That random gun violence happens not infrequently, but all the time.
This will terrify him, but not only because of the fear of being shot or of someone he loves being shot. It will terrify him because it will make no sense to him. And when he asks me to explain it, I will not know what to say.
Indiana bills loosening gun restrictions advance, one week after Florida shooting – Some good news then . . .
Exactly one week after 17 people were killed in a Florida high school shooting, lawmakers advanced bills that opponents say would loosen firearm restrictions.
Bills that would change background check requirements, waive the lifetime handgun carry permit fee and clarify that people can bring firearms onto church grounds, even if a school is on the premise, passed out of Senate and House committees Wednesday.
“It’s a tough time to consider anything that at all appears like we are making it easier to purchase a gun in the state of Indiana,” Sen. Tim Lanane, D-Anderson [above] said. “We shouldn’t be relaxing, we shouldn’t be revoking fees, which is what we’re doing here. We ought to be reassessing.”
Kentucky Moves To Add Guns To Schools After School Shooting – As I’ve said many times, there are two Americas . . .
The school shooting in Parkland, Fla., that took 17 lives followed one in rural western Kentucky by three weeks. The Kentucky shooter killed two high school sophomores and injured 18 other people.
In the wake of the tragedy at Marshall County High School in Benton, Kentucky’s Republican governor and legislature say they won’t consider gun any control proposals. Rather, a measure allowing teachers or staff to carry guns on campus has gained traction.
Republican state Sen. Steve West admits his bill isn’t going to stop all school shootings, but he hopes it’ll help.
“It increases that kid’s chances of surviving. And if there is someone there with a weapon, they will be able to take down the assailant, or at least calm the situation,” West said.
Here’s my plan, just give every citizen one of those gold badges, but require the badge for voting. They’ll be on your passport, and since poll taxes are illegal, the government has to give all citizens one when they’re 18.
And since Malarkey likes these Russian ideas, let’s take all his stuff and give it away.
Ohhhhhh let’s run him out of the business and if they don’t fire him and dedicate to rkba let’s put whole company in history books
1st Hope you can make $20 mil selling Tupperware. 2 If that is what you have to do to get laid I feel sorry for your a$$ because it just cost you $20 million!!
I’m cool with the having all the NFA and explosives stuff, but I’m not paying out the ass for them, nor am I playing his little licensing game. It’s bad enough to have to get one for concealed carry.
I just went on their site and asked when are they going to kick this Malarkey guy out. They may still be able to save the company. Maybe.
kick him out on everything, not on ‘just’ paper
and make him donate a million or so Bucks to the NRA!
The NRA? You mean that “gun rights” organization that publicly paved the way for doing an end-run around Congress to implement even more gun control? How would that be any kind of apology?
Good to know who not to buy from…getting a shrink to certify you. Bet yer a hoot at parties malarkey????????????
theyre doing what they shouldve done after las vegas
that is shut the FUCK up
anybody remember this:
“Bruce Joiner, a security guard shot in the leg by two radicalized Islamists at a “Draw Muhammad” event in the North Dallas suburb of Garland in May of that year, learned months later that an FBI agent had been undercover in the terrorist cell that executed the attack. The agent had texted one of the assailants to “Tear up Texas” a few days before the attack, and was also in a separate vehicle directly behind the two terrorists taking pictures of them just seconds before they opened fire at a perimeter parking checkpoint.”
http://freebeacon.com/issues/fbi-might-avoid-turning-documents-texas-attack-lawsuit/
knowing what we know now about the fbi its now established fact that whatever they say absolutely cannot be trusted and its at least as likely as not that the same thing or something similar to garland happened in florida
doesnt it seem kinda wierd that they copped to screwing up the florida thing so fast
like they were trying to throw everybody off the scent or something
anybody besides me think its strange that so soon after the shooting there was already a nationwide march organized
its totally apparent they were WAITING for this to happen
theyre coming for our guns people
ALL
OF
THEM
just like feinstein said
“we make a stand NOW or there wont be anybody left to go to the chopper…”
I carry a spare 10-round for my G 26, a spare 7-round for my P-32, and a speed strip and/or speed loader for my LCR.
OWB kydex mag holder for the Glock. 21 rounds total.
The 7-round spare is nice because it fits in the watch pocket of my jeans with a NeoMag magnetic mag clip, and as I’m left-handed, that’s perfect for drawing the magazine. 15 rounds total.
Speed strip and sometimes Speedbeez speed loader have to go on left (strong) side. I’m reasonably good with the Speedbeez, but not competition level, but I’m not really, really planning to reload a revolver in a flash in the middle of a gunfight. 10-16 rounds total. I use the speed strip more in warmer weather as it’s slimmer than the speedloader. Speedloader for when I have jacket or coat to keep it in the pocket, and then I still probably have the speedstrip in trouser front pocket.
I have a belt clip for the Speedbeez, but I honestly rarely use it — it has to sit in front of my OWB holster and adds a lot to the bulk. Speedbeez speedloaders are just fantastic, BTW, much better than the HK or Safariland speedloaders. Really fast to use, to load, and secure to carry. I own some HK speedloaders and have owned Safariland (sold them with an old gun), but I’ll never buy more now that I’ve tried Speedbeez.
The LCR is my most common carry.
The company’s FB page is in literal FIRE!
they posted an UNSIGNED retraction
but the damage is DONE!
I wonder if that kale eating yoga wife of his will stay with him after the company FOLDS!????
Scott County, KY has released news that says they will be arming teachers who are concealed carry holders by this time next year. As a resident of neighboring Harrison County I hope this measure takes off and is adopted by Harrison County public schools.
Why are comment subscriptions not working anymore?
Trump’s going to cave. … On a happy note, just talked to a veteran who said he had no use for guns, he’d seen enuff in Iraq,He told me lthat two years ago. Today he said ” I buy at least two guns a month, I’ve got a heavy bullet proof vest and some grenades”, .. No he wouldn’t sell me any, the greedy fucker
To those who say we can never get rid of assault rifles, there was a time in our country when people said we could never get rid of slavery. As I say this, I recognize that some people who want to keep their assault rifles are still bummed that we got rid of slavery. – Andy Borowitz
Why don’t we find out if we can get rid of commies like you first? I think I might have a solution to that particular problem. Anybody know where I can rent a few hundred helicopters?
Funny how you say we would be bummed about getting rid of slavery, when it was/is your party that keeps people in chains.
Suppose you are an adult woman whose estranged husband or boy friend is threatening to kill you because he can’t accept that it’s over. Under Malarkey’s plan, if you didn’t have a head start, you would have to wait four years to obtain a handgun to defend yourself. And I thought my state’s six week wait was too long. Also, no mention of concealed carry.
Yes, suspend students. If a teacher walks out, fire them.
I’m done with them, I sent an email to the company and told them to stop sending me emails until the end of time.
Butchered meat does not have the liquids in it that live animals have. Taking the fluid out to test a hydrodynamic bullet is an extremely inaccurate test. Is you want an honest test, compare your test with a heart with pressurized fluids in it. It will behave more like a milk jug full of water.
Body temperature fat is also closer to a fluid than cold fat out of a cooler. Lungs, liver, kidney and brains are also full of pressurized blood.
Cold pieces of meat as a test medium is more inaccurate than gel. Hollow points are even more dependent on the homogenous nature of gel than the Extreme Defenders. Bones tend to disrupt the expansion of hollow points. The Extreme Defenders act like FMJs through bone and still dump energy rapidly when passing through a semi fluid medium.
How drunk or stoned was this guy when he wrote this????
I feel like his insane ranting, twisted clarification and conflicted home life grants him two or three of those red flags he was talking about.
You really did it this time Alice Bang Zoom to the Moon
Rather than a badge system could it be belts. And could the highest level be a black belt? I always wanted one of those
Clearly it was out protesting too much.
“He chose… poorly”
Sorry to hijack this thread.
Trump just published the following tweet:
In return for this we must get national reciprocity, concealed carry in schools, and Hearing Protection Act.

“In return for this we must get national reciprocity, concealed carry in schools, and Hearing Protection Act.” I’ll believe it when I see it. We have never won when a compromise took place, you know, the one time it was a compromise instead of simply being a mitigated defeat.
Columbine shooters used a HighPoint carbine, Tec-9, and sawed off shotguns. No AR15 at all. Lot of good the NFA did stopping them from sawing off shotguns.
You’d think a guy who claims $20 billion in sales of over-hyped gun accessories would have a better sense of who makes up his market, or at least a better grasp of economics.
Australian gun policy didn’t have anything to do with school shootings, just a few instances of mass shootings and a British history of gun politics. So comparing the US to Australia just isn’t comparable, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia are more apt, the US is a unicorn. My wife is an Aussie, so I’ve gotten the history about 300 times.
Here’s the general history
In 1984 at the Milperra massacre, or the Hoddle Street massacre in 1987 and at Queen Street, in 1991 at Strathfield. But the precipitating action was the Port Arthur Massacre in 1996, after which the National Firearms Agreement of 1996 restricted and required registration, then after the Monash University shooting in 2002 when the National Firearm Trafficking Policy Agreement and National Handgun Control Agreement.
I’m an Australian citizen. I moved to the USA. I like it here, and wouldn’t move back to Australia.
It pisses me off when i hear people from there talking about gun laws here.
Australians should mind their own business when it comes to laws in the USA. They have little to no concept of what it means to be free. They very little to no understanding of the history of the USA. They have no vested interest in this country.
They are indoctrinated about how “Australia is the lucky country” and very few stop to question if that is actually true or not.

“It should not be part of our job description to learn how to shoot a gun.” But it is a duty as an able bodied adult; that’s what the militia is all about. Like jury duty or voting. I’d prefer this kind of person not do her duty.
“”The appropriate bar to set is to negate and eliminate these situations entirely,’ by helping teachers address their students’ social and emotional needs.” – Well, they’re doing a bang up job their.
