LA Cops “accidentally” shoot two innocent hostages

LA Cops “accidentally” shoot two innocent hostages

In a tragic story out of Los Angeles, LA County Sherriffs killed a hostage that they mistook for a knife wielding maniac. A  911 caller told dispatchers a man with a 10-inch butcher knife was threatening people. So when Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies saw a wounded, bloody man rush out of a West Hollywood apartment with someone following him, they opened fire. Of course, the second innocent hostage, 30 year old John Winkler, fleeing for his life didn’t have a knife on him because well…he was an innocent hostage FLEEING FOR HIS LIFE.  Unfortunately that means that he fled right into a hail of bullets by some trigger happy cops.  But apparently the cops feel bad about it so somehow that makes it ok.  In a statement released by the LA County Sherriff’s Dept, the entire department mourned Winkler’s death. Well bully for them.  Oh, on top of...

CA Denies Hero Cop CCW Because She Collects Disability…Way To Stay Classy Cali

CA Denies Hero Cop CCW Because She Collects Disability…Way To Stay Classy Cali

In 2009, Ally Jacobs, a police officer at UC Berkeley, was credited for helping crack the 18 year long kidnapping case where Jaycee Dugard was abducted by Phillip and Nancy Garrido. Jacobs intuition and deductive skills led to the rescue of the victime and she was hailed as a hero.  Now, since Jacobs recently retired due to medical reasons she is getting a nice boot to the face by the State of California. You see, in California, under state law, retired cops are entitled to a permit to carry a concealed weapon. But Jacobs was told she was ineligible for a retired officer card with an endorsement to carry a concealed weapon because since she is receiving disability income she isn’t considered “retired.” Now, I have my own issues with cops getting a greenlit shall issue CCW while other law abiding citizens in the Golden State must jump through hoops...

Federal Shocktroopers Nearly Murder Family Who Dared Film Them As They Stole Their Cattle

Federal Shocktroopers Nearly Murder Family Who Dared Film Them As They Stole Their Cattle

Here is another example of the need for the 2nd Amendment. The case of Cliven Bundy and his stand against government oppression for the past 20 years may result in a trigger happy fed murdering him in cold blood. The gist of it comes down to the fact that in 1993, the government levied a tax on the land that Bundy’s family has used since the 1880’s in a roundabout attempt to drive him bankrupt and ensure that he could not pass his ranch on to his son. Now they are moving in armed troops to steal Bundy’s cattle. Just like bogus Eminent Domain cases that result in campaign kickbacks and immoral quid quo pro practices, the federal government is trying to disguise their crime by saying this action is to “protect” the desert tortoise. But the local politicians in Nevada aren’t buying it.  Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins...

Gun Controllers Proved Wrong AGAIN as Student Goes On STABBING Spree

In Murrysville Pennsylvania, a scant 15 miles away from Downtown Pittsburgh a student has been arrested for going on a stabbing spree wherein some 20 students were injured, seven of which have life threatening injuries. Franklin Regional High School was the scene of the carnage as the unnamed student entered in the building a little after 7am and started running through the halls stabbing people.  Emergency Management Spokesman for Westmoreland County, Dan Stevens, had this to say: “School was in session and students were arriving for morning classes. It happened in numerous classrooms and the hallways.”  The suspect, a male student who attends Franklin Regional, is in custody. Elementary school was cancelled before any students arrived.  The middle and high school’s were placed on lockdown and students were only being released to their parents. More information about motive and the extent of damage will come with time. But I...

Bang, I saved a life – Second Amendment Song that puts it into perspective

Bang, I saved a life – Second Amendment Song that puts it into perspective

One of my favorite parts of running bulletsfirst.net is the interaction that I am fortunate enough to have with readers from across the country.  Therefore I was thrilled when I received a song from one among you that encapsulates the meaning behind the 2nd Amendment while putting it to a catchy tune.  The song also nails it on the head where they place blame on why criminal shootings happen. John Chaffee wrote and produced “Bang” in Nashville Tennessee with Perry Danos providing the vocals. Personally, I love the song so I thought I would share it will all of you. Hopefully it can get some traction out on the internet and some people who may be ignorant of the 2nd Amendment can hear it and have it sink in.  That’s the great thing about music sometimes, you can learn something and not even realize it. Take a listen, I...

Military Bases Are Gun Free Zones…Once Again, THAT’S The Problem

Military Bases Are Gun Free Zones…Once Again, THAT’S The Problem

There is a common misconception among the civilian population that US Military bases are full of armed soldiers walking around ready at all times to repel attack.  On US soil, that couldn’t be further from the truth. The truth of the matter is that US Military bases are treated like gun control cities regardless of what state they happen to be in.  Soldiers on all military installations, including Fort Hood, are not armed while on post, nor are they permitted to carry any privately owned firearms. Only law enforcement and security personnel are allowed to have weapons on post. From the Department of Defenses Regulations: The authorization to carry firearms shall be issued only to qualified personnel when there is a reasonable expectation that life or DoD assets will be jeopardized if firearms are not carried. Evaluation of the necessity to carry a firearm shall be made considering this...

Forget Birds and Stones: British Sniper Kills 6 Terrorists With 1 Bullet

Forget Birds and Stones: British Sniper Kills 6 Terrorists With 1 Bullet

As the old adage goes, it is a good thing to be able to kill 2 birds with 1 stone. How great is it then for the (as of now) unnamed 20 year old Lance Corporal to stop a violent terrorist attack from ever happening when he shot the TRIGGER SWITCH from a suicide bomber from over 930 YARDS AWAY. In making this incredible shot not only did the Lance Cpl kill the bomber but also the five fellow Taliban terrorists next to him. While this action happened in December it has only been recently made public.  The incident took place in Southern Afghanistan in an area called Kakaran. Lt Col Richard Slack, commanding officer of 9/12 Royal Lancers, said the Lance Cpl. prevented a major attack by the Taliban, as another suicide vest packed with 44lbs of high explosives was found nearby. And don’t go thinking this soldier...

Common Sense Gun Laws Being Attacked By Gun Controllers

Common Sense Gun Laws Being Attacked By Gun Controllers

In Georgia, gun controllers are once again proving that common sense gun laws to them only include ones that seek to stamp out the 2nd Amendment completely. The gun haters are currently foaming at the mouth at HB-60 that is currently awaiting Governor Deal’s signature to be enacted into law. HB-60 basically tosses in a whole helping of common sense but the gun control zealots are once again doing their prognostication of blood running in the streets. Here are the highlights of HB-60: It allows CHOICE of private business owners on who they allow into their establishments Removes bars from the off limits list and treats them like every other piece of private property in GA in that the property owner has the right to eject a person from their property. Allows church carry if the church agrees to allow guns in churches and establishes up to a $100...

Gun and the Art of Motorcycle Repair

Gun and the Art of Motorcycle Repair

I finally got a chance to break out the cruiser from its long winter slumber yesterday and take her on the road. Even though it was still a little brisk, cruising around on two wheels still invigorated me with the rush of freedom that it always has.  While I was riding I started to think about the similarities between motorcycle owners and gun owners. Riding a motorcycle instills in the rider a sense of freedom, of liberty if you will.  The feeling that with the wind in your face and your hand on the throttle you are the master of your own universe.  That destiny and fate are in your own hands and at your command.  Something those who drive in cages can’t truly understand, though convertible drivers have a taste. Motorcycle owners come in a myriad of different shapes, sizes, colors and genders.  They drive high powered crotch...

A reason to have a gun at hand when at home: GIANT RATS

A reason to have a gun at hand when at home: GIANT RATS

The Second Amendment was put into the Bill of Rights to remind government that the right to keep and bear arms by the people limits their power. But that doesn’t mean that guns are only supposed to be used for tyrant killing and revolutions.  Firearms can be used for hunting, self defense, sport and so on.  When it comes to self defense and protection, there is always the amorphous “unknown”  that gun owners use as reason to carry; rightfully so.  You do not always know when trouble and danger will spring up so it makes all logical sense to have the means to defend yourself on hand. That rings true in a persons home as well. I’m not saying you march around with your AK-47 at the low ready at all times but having it readily accessible may prove valuable. I mean, you never know when THIS is gonna...

Gun Control Fanatic Senator Leland Yee Finally Arrested On Corruption Charges

Gun Control Fanatic Senator Leland Yee Finally Arrested On Corruption Charges

I’ve been saying that Leland Yee was a criminal for years…federal authorities finally paid attention. Yee was arrested by the FBI Wednesday morning for public corruption.  While this isn’t terribly surprising given Lee’s track record of ignoring what was morally and ethically right, what IS slightly surprising is that among the charges being leveled against Yee is GUN TRAFFICKING.  How poetically ironic. Yee doesn’t seem as happy in the back of a FBI Agent’s car as he was when he was persecuting law abiding gun owners in California. This isn’t even your typical white collar politician crime which consists of kickbacks and quid quo pro arrangements.  Yee is being charged with conspiring to traffic in firearms and who is conspiring with?  Yee is now being linked to Chinese Mafioso Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow, former soldier in San Francisco’s Hop Sing Tong gang. First convicted in 1978 for robbery in...

(Un) Common Core – Where gun controllers indoctrinate THEIR idea of the 2nd Amendment

(Un) Common Core – Where gun controllers indoctrinate THEIR idea of the 2nd Amendment

The idea of a standard in education sounds good at first blush.  You don’t want to have anyone fall behind.  But the problem arises when a few are allowed to dictate what is “Common” and their views are allowed to indoctrinate the children of this country even if those views are contrary to the truth. Case in point, the textbooks and teaching materials that are approved by the Common Core Standards have warped interpretations of the 2nd Amendment. Examples in textbooks on how the 2nd Amendment is taught: United States History: Preparing for the Advanced Placement Examination: The Second Amendment: The people have the right to keep and bear arms in a state militia. The Americans (history textbook): The Second and Third Amendments – grant citizens the right to bear arms as members of a militia of citizen-soldiers and prevent the government from housing troops in private homes in peacetime....

Gun Owner Bigotry Being Fought Against In The Sunshine State

Gun Owner Bigotry Being Fought Against In The Sunshine State

The desire to be free, to enjoy liberty, to sever the yolk of tyranny…these are not choices.  These are inherent in me from my birth.  And the ONLY way that I can live my life following the aforementioned endowments I was bestowed with by both the law of nature and my Creator is to be properly armed against those that would threaten my liberty. In other words, in regards to being a gun owner…I was born this way. And in AMERICA, we are SUPPOSED to protect people from discrimination.  We protect groups based on the color of their skin.  I contend that a person has as much choice being born a certain color as I do in my innate desire to be armed from tyranny. Unfortunately most of the country still lags behind in this realization, hence we have Jim Crow like laws that add “poll” taxes to owning...

Colorado Public School Views Gun Knowledge As Part Of A Well Rounded Education

Colorado Public School Views Gun Knowledge As Part Of A Well Rounded Education

So apparently all is not lost in public education. In Pueblo County, school officials have opened up their eyes to the importance of teaching children both safety and respect of firearms.  Where gun controllers be all end all method of teaching kids about guns is to say “guns are bad and run away from them” school officials have actually decided to do something that works. You see, if anyone has kids or have had an interaction with a child, simply telling them “NO” and “DON’T TOUCH THAT” will do one of two things.  One, it will instill in them a crippling and irrational fear of whatever you are talking about (in this case, firearms) that will haunt them for years thus making them freeze in panic when faced with it, especially if in the hands of a criminal.  Two, the prohibition and mystery of the taboo object will just...

You have a license to carry that gun tattoo?

You have a license to carry that gun tattoo?

In a story that is just full of fail a man from Maine had his home besieged by SWAT troopers armed with assault rifles because he had a tattoo. In Norridgewock Maine, Michael Smith works nights so when a tree removal crew entered onto HIS property and started making a racket at 10am he was understandably upset.  Smith arose from his bed and went outside to tell the intruders to get off his property and to keep it down.  Coming directly from his comfortable bed Smith didn’t feel inclined to put a shirt on.  It was this inaction that revealed his “dangerous and frightening” tattoo; that of a handgun by his waistband. Smith went back to bed and the tree removal crew called the cops and filed a false report.  The crew said something to the effect that Smith had threatened them with a gun and as a result...

Oklahoma politician proves once again it’s about CONTROL not guns

Oklahoma politician proves once again it’s about CONTROL not guns

I first read about this story from Girls Just Wanna Have Guns wherein 40 Sheriffs from around Oklahoma gathered at the state capitol for their annual meet and greet. Somehow, even though the sheriffs meet annually there for a meet and greet, and the state troopers had no qualms with their gathering some state senator got his/her panties in a bunch and complained.  The complainer has remained anonymous but what they were complaining about wasn’t. The State Senator took offense that the sheriffs were armed.  That’s right, this gun hating state senator demanded that the sheriff’s be kicked out because he/she didn’t like the notion that they were legally armed within the lobby of the State Capitol. Once again, this only goes to prove that gun control politicians do not care one lick about anything other than CONTROL.  I mean, these were duly elected law enforcement officials from around the...

More guns, less crime – Cops are finally coming around

More guns, less crime – Cops are finally coming around

While covering CPAC earlier in March one of the highlights was listening in on the panel discussion entitled: “More Guns,Less Crime: How Law Enforcement is Beginning to Embrace a Well-Armed Civilian Populace.”  Obviously having the law abiding citizens of this country armed in order to protect themselves from criminals is a logical certainty.  But it has always seemed that Law Enforcement has rejected the notion. Every time you hear of a pro gun bill there seem to be police organizations spouting off against it, or gun control measures that are so inane only their sponsers and those same police organizations are the only ones who support it. Yet, if you look closely at WHO exactly is doing the anti gun tango it is often times not the rank and file officers but rather those big city police chief organizations that owe their patronage, not to the citizens that one...

Be like St. Patrick and drive the gun control snakes from the land

Happy St. Patrick’s Day. While we all adorn green and lift a pint in honor of the Patron Saint of Ireland today let us not forget his most notable achievement, he drove all snakes out of the emerald isle.  It is only one of the few places in all the world where you will not find slithery serpents. If only the same could be said of Congress.   Think on this, how many rights are we denied because of fair weather polticians who speak with a forked tongue while they are courting our votes only to slither back to Washington DC and hide in the Capitol and pollute our liberty with their venom. Harry Reid, for instance got an A rating from the NRA because he went with the flow while Bush was in office but the moment Obama resided at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave he slithered over to the...
