Science fiction passes for “sensible” gun control measures

It was bad enough with all this micro-stamping nonsense but now we have to enter the realm of Judge Dredd? To refresh your memory micro-stamping was the flawed technology that was supposed to imprint a micro-print on every shell casing of every round of ammunition fired.  I say flawed because legislation was passed before the technology was ever possible let alone feasible. Think about it, all a person would have to do to get around the micro-print at the end of the firing pin is to grind it off.  A process that naturally occurs after the first few dozen shots anyways.  Or, even if THAT weren’t the case criminals (if they couldn’t get stolen guns) would simply start using revolvers and police their own brass. The goal of micro-stamping legislation was not to actually use it to solve crimes but rather to bankrupt gun manufacturers by forcing them to...

With the 2nd Amendment you must make a stand…neutrality has no place

I came across a video and article the other day at LibertyUnyielding.com concerning the group Evolve, some sort of gun safety organization. I say it like that because I have a feeling they are simply a front for a gun control platform.  According to their own FAQ section,  they are happy to work with known anti gun entities in order to promote their agenda. Their agenda though, is the common tripe that gun controllers always like to espouse, “safety, children, blah blah blah”.  Yes, safety is important and no one wants to see children as the victims of gun violence but does Evolve’s so called “neutrality” do anything different than gun controllers? Just take a look at the aforementioned FAQ from Evolve’s website: IS EVOLVE FOR OR AGAINST BANS ON ASSAULT RIFLES AND STANDARD CAPACITY MAGAZINES? Evolve does not address legislative issues, but instead focuses on exerting social pressures in...

Another liberal activist judge inadvertently strengthens gun rights in America

A federal judge, US District Judge John Heyburn II, has ruled that the state of Kentucky MUST recognize same-sex marriages that were performed in other states. The state of Kentucky had passed a constitutional amendment outlawing same-sex marriages in the state and part of that amendment was to not recognize such marriages from other states. Judge Heyburn ruled that the exclusion of marriages from other states was unconstitutional based off of the following rationale, that Kentucky’s laws treat gay and lesbians differently in a “way that demeans them.” Heyburn DIDN’T say that the state of Kentucky had to perform same-sex marriages but that they did have to recognize the marriage licenses from other states. Now, THIS is where things get interesting. If the courts rule that a license issued in one state MUST be recognized by another then by extension my Pennsylvania License to Carry a Firearm MUST be acknowledged...

The absurdity of the assault weapons definition

Bells and whistles. That is what makes a rifle an ASSUALT rifle and it is ridiculous. If we  apply the same notion of demonizing to other items that we do to rifles  the absurdity becomes clear. You want a car with cup holders?  It’s an ASSAULT car. Your kid wants a tricycle with a horn, it’s an ASSUALT trike. If your spouse wants a vacuum cleaner with an extendable wand…ASSAULT vacuum. By and large these things do not change the nature or the function of the item, they simply are some bells and whistles that the owner can enjoy.  But cup holders do not make a car any more dangerous nor does a pistol grip or collapsible stock make a rifle so. But to illustrate the absurdity of attacks on so called “assault” weapons and the ignorance that gun controllers bring to the table in doing so, take a...

How not to be a jackass with a gun

Not knowing a gun is loaded is not an accident. It’s negligence. Engaging in a shouting match with some mouth breathing gun control zealot does not help anyone EXCEPT the gun control zealot.  The press will spin their drooling vitriol laced rage as being “passionate about protecting children” while spinning you, the gun owner, as a person on the brink of murder. The following video discusses a few things to keep in mind to avoid being a jackass with a gun. Enjoy.   It’s pretty simple folks.  Be safe and don’t lower yourself to the rambling idiocy of the opposition. Don’t provide ammo for them make caricatures of gun owners.   Related articles Hilarious: Pro-Gun Bill Named After Rabid Anti-Gun Fanatic Piers Morgan And He’s Not Too Happy About It Guns.

Justice Scalia reaffirms the need for the 2nd Amendment: “In times of war, laws fall silent”

Discussing cases with students at the University of Hawaii’s Law School, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia found himself questioned with the High Court’s ruling back in 1944 that upheld the convictions of Gordon Hira­ba­ya­shi and Fred Kore­ma­tsu for failing to voluntarily give up their freedom and report to an internment camp without due process. Scalia’s response to the Court’s decision was this: “Well, of course, Kore­ma­tsu (court decision) was wrong. And I think we have repudiated in a later case. But you are kidding yourself if you think the same thing will not happen again.”  He then went on to quote Cicero by saying: ” inter arma silent leges” (translation: In times of War, laws fall silent) This tyrannical oppression of Americans of Japanese decent during World War II is not the only time that Justice Scalia has spoken on the dangers of usurping peoples rights under the auspices of national...
