The danger of Chris Christie’s big fat stupid ideas on the Constitution and 2nd Amendment

It seems nowadays, with the end of one presidential election, we move right into the next presidential cycle.  There is talk that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is a popular choice to be the candidate for the Republican nomination. If that is true, why doesn’t the Republican party save us all the trouble and just nominate whoever the democrats nominate because it’ll pretty much the same. Chris Christie is no friend to the 2nd Amendment.  Yes, I know he is the Governor of New Jersey but he doesn’t even attempt to take a stand for the rights of his citizens. He has not voiced any dissent on the further restrictions to the rights of New Jerseyians to keep and bear arms being rammed through the legislature.  There will be no veto, even if symbolic.  Christie is just not pro rights. Notice how i didn’t say pro gun rights.  No,...

Petition for Obama’s stance on civil rights violations of gun owner

I had forgotten about a little project that President Obama whipped up earlier in his first term.  The administration, put online, a way to petition the White House directly. With 100,000 online signatures, they supposedly will give you an official response on where the White House stands on an issue. Well, I figured why not put something together than would force an answer that the White House couldn’t sidestep or bank on a “generous” media to gloss over. Therefore, I created a petition demanding an investigation into the malicious prosecution and race based witch hunt of gun owner George Zimmerman. Because Frankly, if George Zimmerman was black, none of this railroading would’ve happened.  He wouldn’t have been tried to begin with and he certainly wouldn’t be getting investigated by the DOJ now. Furthermore, if Zimmerman, while being pounded into the ground, had picked up a rock and smashed in...

Gun owners need to understand: We’re at war

The 2nd Amendment is under siege by an Executive branch who seeks to make the unconstitutional constitutional, a judiciary branch that doesn’t have the stones to put politics aside and do whats right, a legislative branch that compromises a right away with the death of a thousand paper cuts.  A media that is so prone to anti-gun sensationalism that you would think every Main St. in America was the Mogadishu mile.  Race baiting opportunists who wish to profit from tragedy and thus feeds the notion that guns are inherently evil.  Rich hypocrites who use their fame or fortune to criticise the use of a gun for self protection yet pay a cadre of guards to ensure that THEY’RE safe. This is the war that the 2nd Amendment is having waged upon it.  The enemies are loud and their war cries are shrill.  Since they are all working together they...

Open Carry should not only be legal, but encouraged

With recent cases of open carry being debated and argued in court and legislatures, namely Mississippi and Arkansas, one might question what the big deal is.  Depending on your mindset you might question what the big deal is one way or the other. There are the anti gunners who seem to crap their pants at even the THOUGHT of someone with a gun on their hips who would prefer to watch someone club a new born child to death and call it a really late term abortion than to see someone exercising their 2nd Amendment rights.  Then there are the pro gun people who, sometimes fanatically, rail against the practice of open carrying for a myriad of reasons from tactical disadvantage to “you’ll ruin it for everyone”. On the flip side you have the average OCer who just prefers that method to carry or doesn’t have the option to...

Some advice from The Shootist, JB Books

As I’m travelling across this great country of ours I have had the pleasure to have spent the past few days in the West (east of California west).  Following the Zimmerman trial on the radio and not trying to spit up my coffee as I hear anti-gun correspondents claiming that Zimmerman should have used a pen like a ninja in order to protect his life, I started thinking about John Bernard Books. For those of you who may not know, JB Books was the main protagonist in the 1976 movie, The Shootist, starring John Wayne.  In it, Books tells a young Gillom Rogers, played by a young Ron Howard, a few truths that more people should live by. First, there was the code that JB Books lived by: I won’t be wronged. I won’t be insulted. I won’t be laid a-hand on. I don’t do these things to other...
