Kingpin Cuomo Proves Once Again That Criminals Love Gun Control

It is said that criminals love gun control because it keeps victims defenseless.  I guess that applies to white color political criminals as well. Embattled and disgraced Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo has found himself mired in a number of criminal investigations ranging from obstruction of a justice to witness tampering.  Ironically enough these allegations come on the heels of Cuomo disbanding his own commission created to clean up corruption of state politics.  The Moreland Commission had a brief existence, being formed on July 2nd of 2013 the commission was abruptly shut down in March of 2014 with no explanation given.  The commission was supposed to run until January of 2015. Now, why does a corruption commission end 10 months early? It’s not because they DON’T find anything…it’s because they DO. Of course, if they find the dirt on the WRONG politician they surely won’t name it, especially if...

My “Violence Interrupter” is the gun on my hip

Leave it to New York City to once again have its head so far up its fourth point of contact that any crappy idea smells like roses to them. Mayor DeBlasio, taking over right where Bloomberg left off with crackpot ideas is spending nearly $13 million of taxpayer money on a “Gun Crisis Management System.” According to our friends at Liberty Unyielding: A key facet of the Mayor’s plan, backed by the City Council, are so-called “violence interrupters.” These interrupters will be seeded in high-crime police precincts to disrupt street crime before it reaches the point of a gun muzzle. This comes as the administration’s response to a 12 percent uptick in shootings this year in the City that Never Sleeps. The plan is based on the Cure Violence model, which is designed to treat gun violence as a health care issue. The cure proposed is to identify those...

Another Judge Fails the 2nd Amendment – Upholds Rifle Ban

There is a very good reason that I tell people to consider the courts the LAST defense (ok 2nd to last defense) of the right to keep and bear arms.  That reason is because there are judges like U.S. District Judge Catherine C. Blake. Blake, who was appointed by Assault Weapons Ban President Bill Clinton has ruled that “assault” weapons are not protected by the 2nd Amendment. From our friends at Liberty Unyielding: The lawsuit, titled Kolbe, et al vs. O’Malley, et al, was filed in the U.S. District Court in Baltimore by numerous plaintiffs, notably the Associated Gun Clubs of Baltimore, Maryland Licensed Firearms Dealers Association, Maryland State Rifle and Pistol Association, and the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Their lawsuit challenged the constitutionality of Maryland’s recently-enacted draconian gun laws. Those same laws prompted famed firearms manufacturer Beretta USA to take its base of operations–and the jobs that come with it–to...

Bloomberg loses ANOTHER election he tried to buy – Pro Gun Sheriff Triumphant

This time in Milwaukee, the money juggernaut that is Michael Bloomberg failed to buy a primary election for his anti gun candidate for Sheriff.   In the Democratic primary for Sheriff of Milwaukee county pro gun incumbent Sheriff David Clarke had to fight off not only his challenger but also Bloomberg with a carpet bag full of $150,000. That was the amount that Bloomberg spent to try and defeat Sheriff Clarke.  That amount is also more than Clarke and his opponent Chris Moews spent combined on their own campaigns. Fortunately the voters of Milwaukee County would not be bamboozled by the big city huckster and his money and Clarke won his primary by a margin of 52-48.  He runs unopposed in November and as such has all but assured that he will continue to proudly and justly serve the people of Milwaukee. I am a little surprised that the...

It’s getting bad when people are wishing Obama acted more like Nixon

While Nixon was a flawed man, haunted by notions of people out to “get him” I don’t think he was anything more nefarious than most politicians.  He had two big hurdles that he couldn’t get over though.  First, he got caught in a coverup and secondly, and more damning is that he was a Republican. The liberal media loves to crucify Republicans when they do something that politicians on both sides of the isles do. Case in point, Nixon’s downfall came because he spied on his competition and then covered it up. Obama spies on EVERYONE, has the IRS attack and attempt to destroy his critics, his cover-ups extend beyond that to include trying to whitewash debacles like Benghazi, Fast and Furious and the deaths of American border agents under the table. If Nixon had done any of these things the liberal press would have called for him to...

Tony Stewart Recklessly Kills a Man, Time to Ban All Cars

The title of this article is steeped with sarcasm.  But it is used to illustrate the absurdity that gun controllers like to levy upon guns by applying it elsewhere.  In case you haven’t heard, this past Saturday night in Canandaigua, NY, professional racecar driver, Tony Stewart, ran over and killed a fellow driver who got out of his vehicle and tried to confront Stewart while the race was still on. First and foremost, dumb idea.  Even under a caution flag, these cars were whizzing around the dirt track at speeds of 55+ mph.  And while my sympathies go out to the family of Kevin Ward Jr. willingly placing yourself in harms way in order to pick a fight is not really the safest thing to do. With that being said, as you can see in the following video, it is unclear whether Stewart actually swerved INTO Ward as he...

Surprise, Anti-Gun Banks Rate Worst in Nation

Bank of America…Wells Fargo…JP Morgan Chase…Citibank. What do these four banks have in common?  Besides being “too big to fail” they also are too arrogant to actually give a damn about their customers. According  to MagnifyMoney, which analyzed complaints made to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB),these banks are the top offenders in…well…offending their clientele.  From predatory lending to misleading fine print and outright theft due to improper foreclosures, these banks have time and again gulled, cullied and diddled the American people out of billions of dollars. Yet, not only do these four banks rate as the most complained about financial institutions in the country but they also all have policies in place to punish, deny and/or harrass American’s who DARE to exercise their 2nd Amendment rights.  I don’t mean that these banks simply hide under the naive cloak of gun free zones in their establishments.  No, these banks have...

Gun Grabber Heads Implode as DC Ban Ruled Unconstitutional – All law abiding can now carry

Shockingly over the weekend a Judge ruled that “the right to keep and bear arms” ACTUALLY included bearing arms. In Palmer v District of Columbia, Federal Judge Frederick Scullin Jr. ruled that the Second Amendment existed OUTSIDE a person’s home.  With a decision so obvious I do wonder why it took 5 years to issue this decision.   Perhaps the five year wait had to do with Judge Scullin delving DEEPLY into both Heller v DC and MacDonald v Chicago to issue this resounding and total conclusion:  “there is no longer any basis on which this court can conclude that the District of Columbia’s total ban on the public carrying of ready-to-use handguns outside the home is constitutional under any level of scrutiny.” That wording is important.  According to the correct ruling of Judge Scullin, the right to bear arms is just as paramount as the right to keep them....

The War On Women Hunters

As if guns and hunting weren’t bad enough for rabid liberal zealots, they could at least wrap themselves in the false notion that both were the past times of old white guys.  But whenever you ruffle the cocoon of idiocy that progressives like to hide in be ready for the most hate filled, irrational vitriol you can imagine.  Progressives can spew that stuff as easy as breathing. As many have reported, a cheerleader from Texas has been demonized and threatened because she went on safari and bagged some big game.  Kendall Jones has had to face the full force of “liberal acceptance” by having death threats sent to her and having liberal scumbag and congressional candidate Mike Dickinson offer her ex boyfriends $100K for nude photos of her. Looks like the “War on Women” comes from the left.  Because if you, as a women, don’t walk lockstep with the...

Bloomberg with another “Let them eat cake” moment

Disgraced Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has long viewed himself as a “better than you” elite who must dictate how others must live since we, the peons, cannot do so for ourselves. Once again Bloomberg is unapologetic about his disdain that he has for anyone who dares stand up and challenge his tyrannical and dictatorial ambitions. The case in point of which I refer to most recently is in an interview that Bloomberg gave to Rolling Stones Magazine.  In it Bloomberg discussed who was to blame when the people of Colorado, after being railroaded with a number of rights’ infringing gun control laws, rose up and tossed a few of the offending politicians from office. In Bloomberg’s mind it wasn’t a motivated group of patriots, a collection of oppressed people who have had enough, a grass roots movement of Constitution powered populism.  No, since Bloomberg was defeated...

Jackbooted thug with badge kills another unarmed member of an innocent family

If you are like me you consider your dog part of the family.  It seems more and more that certain police officers view them as target practice. In Salt Lake City, hundreds of people have protested in from of the SLPD against the summary execution of lovable Geist the Weimaraner. You might be saying to yourself that perhaps we here at Bullets First are getting too soft hearted and cannot accept that a dog had to be shot.  That’s not the case here.  Geist wasn’t a roving dog attacking children, not a trained fighter who would snap at anyone, not a rabid monster. No, Geist was a lovable family pet whose only “crime” was being in his fenced in and locked yard. It was there in his fenced in backyard that the gray Weimaraner was was shot dead by a police officer who was searching for a missing boy. Police...

Judge tells atheist group to stop being whiny biddies

In some feel good news today a federal appeals court said this week that an atheist group trying to keep the Ground Zero Cross out of the National September 11 Memorial Museum must better explain how displaying the artifact is “offensive” and violates members’ constitutional rights. The cross measures 17 feet high and is a the remains of two I beams that survived the destruction to remain standing.  Those on the ground at the time and in the weeks following 9/11 took solace at the cross and it became an indelible symbol of resolution and hope for many. Apparently that doesn’t mean diddly squat to some atheists who got their panties in a bunch about the cross being in a museum dedicated to 9/11.  The group, American Atheists filed suit back in 2011 trying to have the cross removed because they claimed it was “offensive” and violated their “constitutional rights.”...

Missouri School Districts Taking Security Seriously

…by giving their teachers guns in order to protect their students. Unlike the ludicrous notion that a “gun free zone” sign produces some mystical force field that keeps gun toting maniacs off school grounds, four school districts in West Plains Missouri are taking PRACTICAL steps in order to ensure the safety of both students and faculty. These school districts recently sent staffers to the hilltop range of West Plains for five days of firearms training. The instructors, all current law enforcement officers, train teachers to deal with their most likely scenario; essentially close-quarters combat while youngsters scream and run about. On the instructors command the teachers take action, they make an evasive sidestep “stepping off the X,” it’s called. They pull the Glock 19s from their holsters and fire at metal targets 50 inches tall with painted faces at the tops, careful not to hit the innocents in front and...

Intelligent Life Found In New York?

Since I will be keeping a close eye on the upcoming New York gubernatorial election, as gun control and gun rights will be at its center thanks to Cuomo’s tyrannical and asininely named SAFE Act, I take an opportunity to read the local periodicals when I get the chance. It was in doing so that I was pleasantly surprised the the liberal rag The Schenectady Gazette had the courage to actually print a letter to the editor from a person I can only imagine is a reader of mine.  Because Don Steciak of Schenectady pretty much wrote a piece that might as well come from my own hand. Take a look at some of the good old fashioned common sense that seems to still exist in pockets of New York: Gun Control not right solution to random shootings On May 23, another nut case went on a rampage, in...

The Boys of Pointe Du Hoc and Reagan’s Speech Honoring Their Sacrifice

This site isn’t just about guns…it’s about liberty.  And sometimes, especially on this day, the anniversary of D-Day, we should take a moment to remember that freedom has rarely been given and has mostly been won. How is freedom won?  At the point of a sword, at the tip of a spear, at the muzzle of a gun…with brave men and women willing to die for the achievement or preservation of liberty.  Like the boys of Pointe Du Hoc: I shiver to think that a mere 70 years since so many gave so much for the liberation of a foreign land, that we find ourselves on the precipice of losing our liberty through apathy and acquiescence. Corrupt government agencies targeting American citizens to disagree with policy. Over reaching big brother agencies trampling on civil rights.  The executive branch, backed by billionaires, seeking to undermine our last refuge of resistance....

Guns are like Motorcycle Helmets…helpful tools when needed

It’s a funny thing when you think about it, but I have had to use my personal firearm more times to protect myself than I had my motorcycle helmet with a score of 1 to nothing. Well, that changed today.  While taking an early morning ride a car in front of me stopped short and I applied my brakes a bit too heavily and hit some broken pavement and went sliding across the street.  Was I badly injured?  No.  Though the road rash on my arm and leg are not pretty to look at. Fortunately, though it is not required in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, I was wearing my DOT Approved Motorcycle Helmet.  Because I had the TOOLS available to me my scalp did not suffer the same fate as my arm and knee. The TOOL did it’s job and I remained safe. I’m sure some of my long...

Only in California: 300K voters cast ballot for indicted gun control/gun trafficking hypocrite

Somehow, this story doesn’t surprise me. In case you missed it, disgraced former State Senator and champion gun control advocate Leland Yee of San Francisco has been indicted on charges ranging from racketeering to GUN TRAFFICKING. Yet even so: 287,590 voters STILL cast their ballot for the nefarious hypocrite Leland Yee for Secretary of State.. Seriously California?  What does it take for some of you to take your head out of your collective 4th point of contact? Let’s run this down. You like gun control?  Ok. Leland Yee believes in gun control as much as Hitler believes in not using gas chambers.  In that, they both don’t want it applied to them. Not only is Yee above the notion of being personally limited by the legislation that he has proposed over the years but he also is THE EXACT REASON that bad guys have guns including terrorist. To be...

Obama, a walking cluster@#(k as commander in chief

As I was talking with a friend last night he asked if Obama could be playing so stupid as to be brilliant. I assured him it was no act.  The man is just a craven cowardly America hating, soldier resenting socialist with dreams to diminish the American spirit to the point that we forgo our entrepreneurial spirit and become beholden to the government for all our needs. In case you haven’t noticed…I’m a little peeved with his highness, King Barack. As a former soldier, the recent stories that have been making the headlines recently have resonated with me in both their absurdity and the disgraceful manner in which the Commander in Chief has reacted to both. On one hand you have Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi whose only true crime was getting lost in the desert and being found by Mexicans.  Despite what the Sanctuary City crowd would have you...
