School Moves to Become Big Brother and Ban Off Campus Activities like Squirt Guns

Once again a educational institution is taking it upon themselves to promote the irrational mouth breathing stance against guns OFF campus. As you may have recalled I wrote an article some time ago about 3 high school students who recieved year long suspensions for playing with airsoft guns AT HOME. You can read the article here: Playing with toy guns AT HOME gets 3 students yearlong suspension from school It looks like Cumberland High School in Rhode Island is looking to hop on the Big Brother bandwagon and ban what students do on their own time off campus. The activity in question is called “Senior Assassin” and is quite simply a cat and mouse squirt gun fight. A group of students get squirt guns and hunt each other (I reiterate, OFF CAMPUS on their OWN TIME), the last kid dry wins. This is a game I played when I was...

The Military Doesn’t Win Wars with Flowers and Peace Signs

In today’s article I’m going to enlighten you on what it looks like when a group of politicians have their heads crammed so far up their fourth point of contact all they breathe in is their out fetid absurdity. In Milford, Michagan, a suburb of Dertroit, a planned monument dedicated to the memory of fallen military personnel is currently up in the air because heaven forbid, the monument had a RIFLE in it. To be more specific, the sculpture of a battlefield cross at the end of the walkway of the memorial. For those of you who may not be familiar with the battlefield cross, it is a miltary helmet adorned with dog tags atop the stock of a rifle, the rifle pointed down to the ground into a pair of combat boots to memorialize fallen soldiers.  The photo below may give a clearer idea:   It is a tradition...

Oregon Gun Grabbers Love a Bill that Only Infringes on Law-Abiding Oregonians

I love living in Pennsylvania. Even when my fellow Keystone Staters crap the bed and elect us a corrupt gun grabbing AG and a self professed anti gun Governor, for the most part PA comes through it on the right side of sings. The same cannot be said for my friend Tami Jackson and her home state of Oregon.  Not only are the politicians out there foaming at the mouth to infringe upon the peoples right to keep and bear arms but the people themselves are complicit in the injustice. From Tami’s latest article on the matter at Savingourfuture.com: Friends across the nation often ask me “How can you, a social and fiscal conservative, live in that dark blue state?” Simple: I was born in Salem, raised, for the most part, in Bend, Oregon, and this beautiful state is my home. By county and acres, Oregon remains mostly a...

Gun Free Zone Succeeds Again in Helping Criminal Murder Unarmed Victim

I wonder if it surprises anyone anymore, I mean really surprises them, when a shooting takes place in a gun free zone.  Because if it does they must either be completely delusional or haven’t been paying attention. GUN FREE ZONES are CRIMINAL EMPOWERMENT ZONES! Such is the case in the recent tragedy that took place at Wayne Community College in Goldsboro, North Carolina.  No doubt the intelligentsia of this little Community College patted themselves on the backs and were toasted by their gun hating brethren in academia when they decided to deny the law abiding the right to defend themselves while on campus. The gun haters can even try to persuade us of their being magnanimous because gun owners can keep a gun locked in their cars in the parking lot, but that does little good for anyone in a class or the bathroom who finds themselves staring down the...

Wheelchair Bound Man that Bloomberg Wants Disarmed Kills 2 Home Invaders

Remember, not so long ago when New York City’s racist former Mayor Michael Bloomberg went on and on about how black people commit so much crime that we need to instill more gun control in order to keep “them” under control? If you’ve forgotten allow me to refresh your memory with these two links: Racist Bloomberg and Crony Come Out and Say Guns Are Only For Whites Audio: Bloomberg’s Racist Gun Control Rant I bring Bloomberg’s past racism up now because if it was up to him, a black, 26 year old Tulsa resident would be dead, most likely along with his friend after a group of 3 men broke into his apartment. From KOKI’s report: Anita Penn says her son, who is in a wheelchair, had to shoot the men. “He did the right thing, because he can’t fight. He can’t do anything, he’s in the chair, and the only thing...

Build a Rocket Stove On The Cheap

With all the politics, legislation and real tales of self defense that gets covered here on Bullets First sometimes I like to mix it up a bit when I find something interesting that is 2nd Amendment adjacent. In this instance I am referring to the every-man’s rocket stove. For those of you who may be unfamiliar with the term, the rocket stove is an efficient cooking stove using small diameter wood fuel which is burned in a simple high-temperature combustion chamber containing a vertical chimney and a secondary air supply, which ensures almost complete combustion prior to the flames reaching the cooking surface. Here’s a design that gives you the gist of it: That above design calls for a 55 gallon drum, and trust me there are others out there that seem more apropos to shuttle launches than grilling up some food; with a price tag to match. Leave it...

Heartwarming tale of respect for a WW2 Veteran

It always touches me when a random act of kindness is displayed to one of America’s veterans. Especially when the veteran in question either spent his time punching Nazis in the face or shooting Kamikazes out of the sky. In this case the veteran in question was one of the latter. From Sons of Liberty: A 92-year-old World War II veteran Robert Niemen was just wanting to have a meal with his son and a couple of other people for his birthday at Outback Steakhouse. However, what he experienced was an incredible display of respect and honor for a man that provided an incredible service for his country in time of need. Bob Niemen, the son of the World War II veteran, wrote to Opposing Views about what happened at the Sebring, Florida Outback Steakhouse. “I did 27 years on the Police Dept. and people never cease to amaze...

SHOCKER: Democrats in New York reject Ethics Reform Measures

So anyone who has read Bullets First with any regularity knows how I feel about the Empire State, it’s corrupt bottom feeding politicians and it’s rules for thee not for thee mentality of the intelligentsia therein. It therefore comes as no surprise to me that the Democrats, the same ones who changed the rules and allowed the SAFE Act to be shoved through without public review LITERALLY in the middle of night has rejected a set of measures to limit the unethical, unlawful and unseemly actions by elected officials. You know, the ones like Sheldon Silver who has been arrested for taking $4 MILLION in bribes. From Mental Recession: Republicans in the New York State Assembly presented 13 rule changes designed to improve transparency, ethics, and the rules of the chamber yesterday, and the Democrat opposition, long the main target of such reforms based on a vast history of corruption shot...

With the end of Black History Month I Ask: Black Community…What The Hell?

When I was growing up I remember hearing stories of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr and his non violent fight for equality. I remember Rosa Parks noble defiance when she refused to move from her seat. I remember learning of Booker T Washington going from slave to advisor to two US Presidents. I remember hearing of great men and women fighting and struggling for equality.  To be judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin. I can’t help but feel that the three I named and countless others are rolling over in their graves to see all they have worked for being pissed away by a generation who may only know of Dr. King because they got a day off because of him. “Leaders” of the black community nowadays, your Al Sharptons and Jessie Jacksons, are more interested in lining their own pockets and...

Surprise Surprise, NY moves to ban gardening tools

In case you haven’t been paying attention for the past couple of years and missed me repeatedly say it, allow me once again to reiterate: Gun Control is not about guns, it’s about CONTROL. For those of you who may have doubted need look no further than the state that would be Empire, New York, which after its crusade against law abiding citizens who own guns aimed its controlling sights on law abiding citizens who own garden tools. From FreedomOutpost.com: New York State Senator Tony Avella (D-Queens), the senator that effectively pushed through the unlawful SAFE Act in 2013 is now taking aim on machetes. “The fact that anyone can easily purchase this potentially lethal tool is just crazy,” he said. Yeah, it’s crazy to want to purchase something inexpensive to help clear out a path in the woods, isn’t it? New York has already banned smaller knives and...

2nd Amendment DIY Edition

Sorry faithful readers, due to my internet connection being suspect at best I have had limited opportunity to keep the site up to date this week.   Hopefully by March 1st things will be right as rain and Bulletsfirst.net will continue to give you the latest and greatest in the fight for our rights with regards to the 2nd Amendment. In the meantime, here is another example of why gun control will always fail; you cannot eliminate ingenuity and innovation. Hence the do it yourself (DIY) brand of arms. As we have seen with 3D printed guns, if there is a will, people will find a way. And let’s not forget one of my personal favorites, the guy who created a working BLUNDERBUSS hand cannon from objects he found AFTER going through airport security: Inventor Proves TSA and Gun Control a Fraud.  Builds Blunderbuss Shotgun In Airport AFTER Checkpoint....

A Retort For Those “MUSKETS ONLY” Gun Controllers (Video)

You’ve no doubt heard those blustering gun controllers spewing forth their ignorance when they choose to speak on the notion that the 2nd Amendment was intended only to cover single shot black powder muskets. No doubt these same simple minded “historians” were doing so from a television show, internet website or on the radio…yet they still expect the 1st Amendment to protect them even though they aren’t physically pressing paper or giving a speech in the town square. This on top of the fact that gun controllers fall silent with regards to the single shot black powder firearms when a NJ retireee is charged with a felony for possession of a firearm that is an unloaded 1760 historical relic. Steven Crowder made a quick video that had some information that even surprised me about what kind of weapons were available BEFORE the revolutionary war that completely undercuts the gun control...

NJ To Send 72 yo Retired Professor to Jail for Owning FLINTLOCK Pistol

Apparently even the gun controllers who claim that the 2nd Amendment only protects guns from the 1700’s are full of crap. In the gun control haven that is New Jersey, 72 year old retired English teacher and historical curio collector Gordon Van Gilder is facing a minimum of 3.5 years and up to 10 years in prison for owning a weapon that hasn’t been in vogue since George Washington crossed the Delaware River. On top of that, if convicted Van Gilder will lose his pension. So glad to see that New Jersey is ensuring that antiques remain out of the hands of collectors and that those collectors are both jailed and made destitute.  Once again gun control attacks exactly who it is intended to…the innocent and law abiding. The case springs from once again admitting ANYTHING to the New Jersey gestapo…I mean police force.  In November of last year Van Gilder...

Brown University Student Spews Hatred Toward the ROTC

Misunderstanding the term  “Liberal” Arts, Brown University student Peter Makhlouf ’16 took his own biases and hatred to the extreme in a column he wrote for the University’s paper, The Brown Daily Herald.  The target of Makhlouf’s ire…the ROTC program. Basically Makhlouf’s column calls for the University to ban all ROTC activities from campus.  So much for the notion of the free exchange of ideas and freedom to choose.  Makhlouf is of the liberal ilk that believes that everyone has the right to do as they please, so long as they agree with him. From his article: “It’s a bit disillusioned to think that Brown students should be exposed to every potential career — even more unthinkable to assume that they should be exposed to all potential military careers.” So yeah, according to Makhlouf, if you want to be a Community Organizer, a Communist Philosopher or a lawyer defending NAMBLA...

New York Senator Schumer Vows To Fight Tooth and Nail Against Freedom

Texas Senator John Cornyn has drafted a sensible, bi partisan supported measure named the Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2015. In response, gun hating New York Senator Chuck Schumer has lost touch with reality. To hear Schumer speak of it, Cornyn’s bill would end civilization as he knows it and heralds the oncoming apocalypse. Here is just one quote from this elected official that, as a free American, makes me sick to my stomach: “This bill is a menace to New York and would allow potentially dangerous people from other states to carry concealed weapons in our grocery stores, movie theaters and stadiums, without even notifying the police.” Without notifying the po-lease.  Shucks massah Chuck, I dun realize i hadta ask the field massahs if i wanted to use ma rights. Yes.  I just used a politically incorrect slave impression to highlight how Chuck Schumer’s mind works.  Schumer is so...

But Gun Controllers Tell Me This NEVER Happens

Once again, a law abiding citizen with a gun stops a would be robber and the national press falls silent. Of course they have to stay silent.  They have been in bed with the gun controllers for so long that when something that has long been professed by the likes of Michael Bloomberg, Shannon Watts and Sarah Brady to be IMPOSSIBLE happens, they’d look pretty silly reporting on it and having to admit they were lying the whole time.  Hence why nearly every story about armed self defense is silenced unless it somehow benefits the gun control movements agenda (ie George Zimmerman). From Conservativebyte.com: A Kanawha County pharmacist shot and killed a masked, would-be robber who walked into his business Wednesday morning and pulled out a gun. Good Family Pharmacy employee Chris Monk said pharmacist Don Radcliff first attempted to “feel the guy out.” Monk said Radcliff pointed at the man,...

Towns Look To Secede From New York; Become Pennsylvanian

I don’t know if it’s possible but I wish all the luck to the 15 towns in Upstate New York that are looking to abandon the sinking ship that is the Empire State and find a home in the Keystone. Here’s a brief look at an article that covers the bases as to why these towns are looking to greener pastures: From Menrec.com: Cuomo’s Fracking Ban Leads 15 Towns To Consider Seceding to Pennsylvania Governor Cuomo’s indecision on the fracking issue in New York led businesses to leave the state for years.  His recent ban will certainly do little to curtail the departure of those businesses. There’s an even more surprising migration being discussed because of the fracking ban, however – entire towns. Fifteen of them to be exact. Fifteen towns in the Upstate New York Towns Association are actively researching whether or not they can secede to Pennsylvania, in part due...

Gun Controllers Use Technology To Undermine the 2nd Amendment

In a case of irony (mired in gun controller hypocrisy) gun control zealots in California have abandoned their long help argument that guns have become more advanced than the Founding Fathers could have foreseen and therefore they must be outlawed. The new argument, at least in California, is that firearms are NOT advanced enough and as such should be outlawed. I’m speaking of course of the psuedo-science behind the notion of “microstamping.”  Mircrostamping is the idea that the firing pin of a gun can implant identification markers on the shell casings thus identifying the person who shot that round. Before I get into the technical aspect of why this idea fails allow me to address the practical reasons such an idea fails. If you have time to police your brass (ie premeditated shooting) then the technology does nothing. If you use a revolver which keeps the brass in your...
