Guns Don’t Kill Free Speech On College Campuses…Liberals Do

It’s disheartening to see what has become of college campuses around the nation in the few years since I left the hallowed hall of the Cathedral of Higher Learning. Free speech is dying…but it’s not because of guns.

SC Rep Proposes Bill to Require Media to Acquire Permits and Register With State

Pitts cited the media’s continued attack in support of infringing upon South Carolinian’s gun rights as reason to proceed with his experiment to limit these journalists 1st Amendment rights in the same manner.

New York Values: Protect Criminals, Disarm the Law Abiding, Silence Dissent

New York Values are the values of high taxes and gun control. Of the abolition of religion for the sake of moral ambiguity. Of the silencing of differing opinions under the hypocrisy of “acceptance.”

No call for universal background checks for knives after mass stabbings in California?

You never hear anyone calling for universal background checks for knives nor do we see many signs indicating a knife free zone. The reason has nothing to do with reducing violent crimes.

A Smart Reply On the “Cost” of the 2nd Amendment

A conviction gets thrown out because a cop conducted a bad search? That’s unfortunate, but that doesn’t mean I have to be subject to warrant less searches. So too, is it true with the 2nd Amendment.

A Gun Owners Take on Embattled Kentucky Clerk Kim Davis

What if a taxpayer funded employee of the government was a religiously based pacifist who didn’t believe in the use of firearms? What if, based off that religious belief, they refused to issue any concealed carry permits or refused to transfer gun purchases?

Infantry Colonel has interesting take on retorting gun control arguments

As long time readers of Bullets First know, I have ranged both far and wide in my defense of the 2nd Amendment in regards to rhetorical analysis and repudiation of gun controllers arguments and claims. Anyone who utilizes the search feature on this site can find articles dealing with the meaning of the word militia in 1700’s America, the private letters of our Founding Fathers that illustrate their belief in the right to keep and bear arms, the racist roots of gun control, the true numbers that reveal that places with more legal gun ownership are safer and so on. But I’m not sure that I have ever used the powerfully devastating “new” argument against gun control that former Infantry Colonel Kurt Schlichter has penned recently. An excerpt: American gun owners are beginning to respond with a fresh, powerful argument when facing anti-gun liberals. Here it is, in its...

NAACP Acting Just like the Taliban and ISIS

I remember years ago how disgusted I was when the Taliban, left unchallenged, made it a mission to actively destroy history. I remember watching the Buddha‘s of Bamiyan, after surviving 1500 years of wars, mother nature, erosion and all things that threatened it over 15 centuries, were destroyed by dynamite by the hateful, small minded and petty fools of the Taliban. For history buffs the video below may be a little difficult to watch. In an instant, some ignorant hate filled terrorists destroy history because they don’t agree with it. ISIS is no better as you can see in the photo below of them rampaging through a Museum of Assyrian Antiquities in Nimrod, Iraq with sledgehammers. These savages take glee and cheer the destruction of all history that they do not agree with. All in order to promote their own, narrow ideological dogma. And now the NAACP can...

Political Correctness Kills the Dukes of Hazzard; TVLand Pulls Show off Network Because of the General Lee

Just’a good ol’ boys…Never meanin’ no harm. But apparently that’s not good enough for the rabid, foaming at the mouth, thin skinned radicals of the left. In case you haven’t heard, the cable channel TV Land has kow towed to progressive pressure and pulled the Dukes of Hazzard from the lineup. Why? Because the General Lee, the iconic television car has the Stars and Bars emblazoned on its roof. Never mind that the Duke boys were in no way racists. That the General Lee was never used in a hit and run against a black person or in anyway could be viewed as being inherently racist. No. Just the fact that some people may have a sense of pride in their heritage, liberal progressive mouth breathers feel they must stomp it out as quickly as they can because of an isolated incident. Not only has TV Land pulled the...

Poughkeepsie, NY: Agree with Gun Control or “shut up and get out”

Another day, another example of liberal hypocrisy where everyone’s opinion matters and voice should be heard…so long as you agree 100% with their liberal ideology. This was initially published on Mental Recession: During a recent city council meeting in Poughkeepsie, New York, Democrat councilman Joe Rich appeared to lose his cool with residents who opposed restrictive gun legislation, telling them to “shut up” and stay out of his city. Representatives for the Shooters Committee on Political Education (SCOPE) gave a presentation to the council on the negative impacts of an ordinance requiring mandatory storage of firearms. After defending the ordinance because some people might break into one’s house and use their own gun against them if they don’t lock it up, a mind-numbing defense of the concept of mandatory firearm storage, Rich accused the group of not wanting gun laws to work because it would cause Second Amendment supporters “a...

Toby Keith’s Words On Guns Don’t Jive With His Restaurants

I like Toby Keith. I like what Toby Keith says about the 2nd Amendment. I DON’T like Toby Keith Bars. First, I’m a fan of whiskey girls, putting boots in the asses of terrorists, giving beer to horses, red solo cups and so on. But I do NOT love his bar. I’ll get more to that in a moment. After the recent shooting at a predominantly black church by some nutjob white wannabee supremacist, Toby Keith was asked if tougher gun control laws would have stopped the shooting. While on the red carpet before his induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Keith had this to say: “If it can happen in church, it can happen anywhere, so there’s no answer to it. Countries all over the world that have really strict gun polices, like Oslo, Norway. It happens there.” Great point there Toby Keith. Now here’s my problem:...

Supreme Court Ruling Makes Islam More Important Than The 2nd Amendment

On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a Muslim woman who sued Abercrombie & Fitch on the basis of discrimination because they denied her a job because she refused the dress code banning head scarves while at work. First of all, I wonder if the court would rule in the same way if the girl in question was a Christian and was denied a job because she refused to remove a cross from around her neck. But I digress. Let’s just focus on the 8-1 decision by the Supreme Court to award damages to Samantha Elauf. Of course the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is thrilled because this is a feather in their cap after they sued on behalf of Elauf. I’m going to forgo equating the hijab with saggy pants, tattered jeans or wrinkled shirts. I will accept that the hijab is not a fashion choice but a religious...

Freedom From Federal Spying Takes Huge Step Forward

In a good day for Liberty in America, the illegal, invasive and unconstitutional spying program run by the NSA against US Citizens has been scrapped in part by the Senate failing to pass an extension. This, in large part, is thanks to Senator Rand Paul who filibustered against the extension of the program and brought the machinations of Congress into the light. The People, who were the targets of this 4th Amendment violation via the bulk data collection without warrant, began to make phone calls and send letters urging their representatives to follow Sen. Paul’s lead and not extend the unconstitutional program. Of course, those who prefer to shred the Constitution in order to invade the privacy and keep tabs on every American in the country were not as pleased. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell for one bristled under the notion that Americans have a right to be free from...

GoFundMe: Unless you support God, Guns or Cops

With the internet reaching new and innovative ways to impact peoples lives a relatively recent phenomenon has begun called crowd sourcing. Basically the idea that if you have an idea, a dream, a need, a cause or a desire that you would like to have funded you go through a site and have an online money drive. The idea is that the charity of the masses will help you by donating to you cause if they find it worthy. Well, one site, GoFundMe.com has decided that only liberal causes are worth supporting and instead of letting the people who actually give money decide, the big wigs at GoFundMe have decided that they will undermine those who might find like minded people to help them. Apparently, instead of letting the market decide what is worthy these potentates can’t run the risk of some non liberal notions gain any traction. Here...

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...

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...

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...

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...
