Joe Biden Can’t Believe Republicans Would Filibuster Gun Bill
“You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out,” <sarc>said undoubtedly the smartest VP we’ve ever had.</sarc> Actually, you DO need to be a rocket scientist to figure out how this bill would prevent even one of the shootings that’s already occurred, or any one in the future – because…it wouldn’t have, [...]

Biden: Folks Worried about Gun Registration Schemes are Part of “Black Helicopter Crowd”
So, if you’re worried about the government forcing you to register your gun (as a prelude to confiscation), you’re a conspiracy kook that also worries about the “black helicopters” patrolling our skies. Ah, just Joe being Joe again – opening his mouth so everyone can see what a dimbulb he really is. If you don’t [...]
Post a Pic on Facebook of Your Kid with a Gun? Be Prepared for a Visit from the Goon Squad
That is exactly what happened to the Moores in Carney’s Point, NJ. Father Shawn Moore posted a photo of his son Josh holding a .22 caliber rifle that was a birthday gift. Days later, child welfare workers and police show up and demand to see his guns. Since when do these storm troopers under the guise of [...]
Feinstein’s Assault Weapons Ban: DOA
Even Dingy Harry had to had to acknowledge the truth: there’s no way in hell a bill like this could even pass the Democrat-controlled Senate, much less the House. Boo hoo. To advance a cause that has defined her political career, Sen. Dianne Feinstein brought the father of a child killed at Sandy Hook Elementary [...]
Sen. Rand Paul: My filibuster was just the beginning
Rand Paul filibustered the nomination of John Brennan as Director of the CIA to make a point. One that the White House grudgingly got a day later, as Obama’s press secretary finally admitted that no, the president couldn’t unilaterally and without due process have an American killed on American soil. He’s right; the Bill of [...]
Newtown Student’s Father: You’ll Take My Guns from My Cold Dead Hands
The father of a Sandy Hook Elementary school student (who was not harmed in the shooting, but her friend’s younger sister was killed) testified against gun control in a Working Group Public Hearing at the Connecticut State Capitol on gun violence prevention. Here’s a video of Bill Stevens’ awesome testimony: (Examiner) In his testimony, he [...]
Joe Being Joe: Gun Laws Offer No Guarantees against Another Mass Shooting
Really? No sh*t, Joe. We coulda told you that. Sometimes I wonder if this guy has all his marbles, or if he just doesn’t have any sort of filter when he’s running off at the mouth. The article says one of his staffers tried to shut him up before he admitted that the administration’s gun-grab tactics [...]
New White House Petition: Eliminate Armed Secret Service Details for Prez, VP, and Families and Establish “Gun Free Zones”
Hey – if “Gun Free Zones” are good enough for our protection, why aren’t they good enough for those guys? Go sign the thing. Sure, it’s ridiculous, and it won’t make any difference, but it will help make a point.
Sometimes, It Doesn’t Even Need to Be Loaded: Home Intruders Leave After Seeing ‘Victim’ Holding AR-15 Rifle
That’s right, the intended “victim” had one of those horrible “assault” rifles. Looks like they protect people from assaults, too. As it turns out, the gun wasn’t even loaded, but the criminals didn’t stay around to find out. Two home intruders, one holding a handgun, broke into a New York apartment on Tuesday and waited [...]
Former D.C. Prosecutor: Strict Gun Ban Failed
Former Washington D.C. prosecutor Jeffrey Scott Shapiro spent a lot of time enforcing gun and ammunition laws while the district’s strict gun ban was in place. He observed that the ban placed unnecessary burdens on police (who had to enforce ridiculous provisions like grandfathered handguns had to be disassembled or trigger locked, even if you [...]
Universal Background Checks for Firearms Purchases – Would They Make a Difference?
Probably, but not the one gun-control zealots are looking for. They would impose lots more federal and/or state regulations on the purchase or exchange of firearms, and possibly infringe still more on our personal liberty. What they almost certainly wouldn’t do: stop mass killings by motivated nutcases who really want to kill a lot of [...]
NRA Discovers What a Lot of Us Already Knew about Obama’s Gun Violence “Conversation”
Officials from the NRA attended a meeting at the White House, as part of the “discussion” on gun violence. After attending, they released a statement that confirms what a lot of us already suspected. This was not a discussion of how to deal with gun violence. It was theater to give the appearance of a [...]
Wyoming Lawmakers: Take Your Federal Gun-Control Law and Shove It
Linked by Doug Ross – Thanks! Legislators in Wyoming have fired a preemptive strike against any gun control legislation or executive order that would restrict gun and ammunition ownership in any way. Wyoming lawmakers have proposed a new bill that, if passed, would nullify any federal restrictions on guns, threatening to jail federal agents attempting to [...]
Obamacare Amendment Forbids Gun and Ammo Registration – Or Does It?
I’ve heard this mentioned by Rush Limbaugh on his show, and seen numerous references to it on the interwebs. Folks seem to be in a tizzy that those stupid Democrats kicked themselves in the ass by inserting a provision into the Obamacare bill that they jammed down our throats last year that doesn’t allow the [...]
NRA: 100,000 new members after Sandy Hook shooting
Hmmm. Seems like there’s two sides to this gun-control “debate.” These people are obviously not down with idiots like Piers Morgan, Mayor Doomberg, and Andrew Cuomo, and the rest of the lib know-it-alls that want to demonize law-abiding citizen gun owners, and restrict their Constitutional rights. Liberal heads are exploding… The National Rifle Association has [...]
FBI: More People Killed Each Year with Hammers and Clubs than with Rifles
And, more than twice as many people are killed with hands and fists than are killed with rifles. Could it be that people really kill other people, with whatever they can find, and the Democrat’s attempt to ban certain types of rifles is really just misguided self-serving demagoguery? The Reverend Al Sharpton wanted to go after [...]
Want to Exercise Your 6th Amendment Rights in Tacoma, WA? $670 Please.
The 6th Amendment to the Constitution has to do with criminal trials, and it grants the accused the right, among other things, to confront his accuser. In Tacoma, they farm out the ticketing for running a red light to an Australian firm that has an office in Phoenix, Arizona. The city told Kevin Schmadeka that [...]
72% Put Freedom of Speech Ahead of Not Offending Other Cultures – Rasmussen Reports™
It’s amazing to me that 13% of respondents are undecided. Really? Voters overwhelmingly rate protecting freedom of speech as more important than not offending other nations and cultures despite claims that the latest outbreak of anti-American violence in the Middle East is due to an amateur YouTube video that mocks Islam.A new Rasmussen Reports national [...]
Rapper Ice-T on Gun Rights: “The Last Defense against Tyranny”
In an interview with Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Rapper Ice-T sums up our right to bear arms pretty succintly: “It’s legal in the United States,” the rapper said. “The right to bear arms is because that’s the last form of defense against tyranny. Not to hunt. It’s to protect yourself from the police.” “And do you see [...]
And This Guy Used to Teach Constitutional Law?
The Wall Street Journal’s James Taranto wonders how a guy who used to teach constitutional law could be so ignorant of the long-established Supreme Court practice of striking down unconstitutional laws: We were half-joking yesterday when we asked if Barack Obama slept through his Harvard Law class on Marbury v. Madison, the 1803 case in which the U.S. Supreme [...]
Constitution? What Constitution?
A sampling of the constitutional knowledge held by our esteemed elected representatives (these all happen to be Democrats -to prove a point, I’m sure – wonder how many Republicans share the same views?), demonstrated when asked if there was authority in the Constitution for them to pass Obamacare. From The Volokh Conspiracy, via Coyote Blog [...]
