New Documentary Exposes Dangers of Gun-Free Zones

Gabriella Hoffman is a guest contributor to Bulletsfirst.net, renowned public speaker and the creator and editor of her own successful site: All-American Girl for the Restoration of Values Las Vegas, Nevada — The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF)’s 37th annual SHOT Show conference is underway here in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over 60,000 people are estimated to be in attendance. People from all sectors of the gun industry are here. One of NSSF’s goals is to educate the populace about the Second Amendment. Due to constant misinformation, the gun industry is unfairly targeted. One common misconception anti-gunners spread is gun-free zones stop crime. Quite the contrary. As a result,  a new documentary from Outdoor Channel is seeking to expose how dangerous gun-free zones are. Yesterday, I attended an exclusive screening of “Safe Haven: Gun-Free Zones in America” at SHOT Show. Townhall.com News Editor and Fox News Contributor Katie Pavlich teamed up with...

Republican Gov Snyder Turns His Back On The 2nd Amendment

Republican Governor Rick Snyder of Michigan vetoed 2 bills recently that would have helped law abiding citizens be able to protect themselves without having to kow tow to yet another layer of governmental bureaucracy. As it stands now applicants for weapons permits must go through a review board process which can easily be stacked with agenda driven gun controllers who can simply say “NO” to an applicant. The two measures, Senate Bills 789 and 790, would have mandated an end to the review board process across the state. In their stead, county clerks would have assumed the task of issuing concealed carry permits as long as the applicant met all requirements and passes a background check from the State Police. Basically what these bills would do is strip an unfair and arbitrary level of gun control from the process.  No longer could applicants be rejected or otherwise harrassed by the...

Better BS, Better Hypocrisy, Papa John’s Stance on Guns

On Sunday January 11th a pizza delivery girl was attacked at gunpoint by two thugs looking to rob her and who knows what else.  Thankfully, since this took place in Decatur Georgia and not New York or Washington DC, things turned out a little differently than the attackers would have thought as the girl pulled out her own gun and shot one of them, 24 yo Donquaz Stevenson, in the face after she was knocked to the ground. For this act of self defense the woman faced termination of a different sort as her exercising her right not to be raped and murdered by thugs goes against Papa John’s corporate policy.  Word came out yesterday though, no doubt in large part to the public outcry, that Papa John’s will NOT be firing the employee. When I first heard about that I felt like going out and buying a Papa...

New DC Mayor to City: “You have a mayor who hates guns”

To be honest, I am a fan of politicians who shut the filter down and are totally honest.  At least until their handlers get a hold of them and they inevitably backtrack on whatever controversial belief they had recently pontificated on. The most recent case of this is with self professed gun hater and rights infringer, Muriel Bowswer, the new Mayor of the District of Columbia.  It’s no shock that a gun hating liberal Democrat has been elected as Mayor of DC, but what was a bit different is that Bowswer didn’t hide her disdain behind the false narrative of other gun controllers by saying she was just against “illegal” guns.  No, Bowser is against ALL guns. While speaking at the Washington Interfaith Network Meeting Bowser spoke quite candidly about her disdain for gun owners, the Constitution and the peoples’ rights in general by saying: “You have a mayor...

Stop Donating To The Wounded Warrior Project – They’re A Fraud

Update at the bottom During this Christmas and New Year’s season the gift of charity swells in the hearts of many.  And who better to benefit from that charity than those who have literally given life and limb for the freedom and liberty we possess today than the veterans who stood tall when their nation called on them? When people donate money they expect that the majority of it will go to the actual cause and not line the pockets of some corporate hack or grease the wheels to enable extravagant parties.  Unforunately, when it comes to the Wounded Warrior Project, the people who have been so generous with their donations have been bamboozled and the veterans in need have been placed, as one veteran put it, into a “dog and pony show.” For full disclosure, I have been against the Wounded Warrior Project ever since they came out...

Trying to get a gun controller to follow logic is like…

Logic, what should be a salve for gun controllers terrified irrationality is one of the hardest things to get to sink into their radically un-American heads. They cling to any false statistic or fairy tail gun free zone bubble that they can in order to basically stick there fingers in their ears and say: “Nyah nyah nyah, I can’t hear you, nyah nyah nyah, guns are bad.” Basically, the same mindset a toddler has when you try to tell them why the need a good nights sleep. And just like a spastic toddler who will throw a tantrum and rage against trying to tell them something truthful and logical, so do the gun hating zealots throw fits. As William Buckley once so correctly pointed out Trying to get a gun controller to follow logic is like trying to teach an owl how to swim… Wait…WHAT?!?!?! This just in: Huh.  So...

Washington State, Enforce New Gun Law Fully and Mercilessly…No Really

My regular readers my see the title to this article and think I’ve lost it.  Let me assure you it isn’t so.  And if you are a gun control zealot thinking I am going support your ideology…well…have fun with that. Washington State recently, through a ballot initiative bankrolled by Billionaire freedom hater Michael Bloomberg, bamboozled the voters who were ignorant about what they were voting on and making them believe that ballot initiative I-594 would do anything to stop crime.  It won’t. What it will do is drive up costs, hassle gun owners and businesses and be an all around pain in the ass. That is why it must be enforced to the FULL extent of its power.  I want this law to be hammered home as it is written. Ah yes…as it is written.  You see, there’s the rub. When gun controllers get together in their confabs to...

Gun Control Zealots in Wisconsin Try to Spin Low Gun Crime Statistics Into an Epidemic

Unfortunately, the state of Wisconsin has recently suffered it’s 100th homicide in which a firearm was used.  Note what I just said…the STATE of Wisconisin…that’s the entire population of rougly 5.75 MILLION people.  Bad things happen, but those 100 murders in a relatively gun friendly state is a LOW number. For an apples to apples comparison, let’s look at a right’s infringing state of the same size: Maryland.  Maryland and Wisconsin are 19th and 20th most populated states in the Union.  Yet, while Wisconsin gets a respectable C- grade from the Brady Campaign (strive for that F) Maryland receives a stomach turning “A” and is ranked the 4th most freedom oppressed state in the country behind California, Connecticut and New Jersey.  Maryland even ranks higher than New York who comes in fifth even with enacting the SAFE Act. According to gun controllers, with all of those restrictions and rights...

The Betrayal of Chris Christie

No doubt Chris Christie, head of the Republican Governor’s Association, will attempt to take credit for the upset wins by Republican Gubernatorial Candidates in Maryland, Illinois and Massachusetts.  Yet the bullying loudmouth, Soprano wannabee from New Jersey is just a two faced opportunist looking out for his own self interest and should not be trusted or praised by Republicans. Chris Christie abandoned Republican hopes for New York, not only by refusing to contribue RGA funds in helping Republican candidate Rob Astorino take on Gov. Andrew Cuomo but by being his usual bloviating loudmouth of an ass self and saying this: “We don’t pay for landslides and we don’t invest in lost causes.  If the New York race becomes competitive, I’ll consider campaigning in the New York race, but right now, by the public polls, there’s a lot more competitive races like this one in Connecticut.” First of all, by...

Why Gun Control Laws Suck

Because frankly, guns saves lives while gun control costs them. A law abiding citizen who exercises their right to keep and bear a firearm does so for the protection of themselves and others.  A criminal with malicious intent in their heart will use ANY weapon they can, ignore all laws therein, and will be creative in their want of destruction. The recent Ottawa shooter?  He was banned from gun ownership.  So much for gun control. A man attacked 4 Cops in Queens on Thursday with a HATCHET.  Injuring 2 with one still being in critical condition after being struck in the head.  You can buy a hatchet in any sports store or Wal-Mart.  In a twist the only innocent person injured by gunfire was a women who was struck by the police’s hail of bullets when they shot the hatchet wielding assailant. Take a moment though…this happened in New...

Episcopal Bishop Claims Jesus Is an Ignorant Coward

During a panel of the Religious Newswriter Association’s annual meeting in Atlanta this past week, gun hating Episcopal bloward and anti gun zealot Bishop Robert Wright went on a tear, speaking for Jesus, tearing into and insulting the NRA, English speakers and Georgians in general. The panel was entitled “God and Guns.” Highlights of what Bishop  Wright had to say: “Jesus is not from Georgia. Jesus does not speak English. And Jesus is not a member of the NRA.” “There is no Biblical Scripture supporting gun ownership.” “You can say a lot about your opinions on guns, but you can’t put those words in Jesus’ mouth” The rest of the panel was as equally “balanced” in their viewpoint.  Odd that the RNA couldn’t find a SINGLE person of faith who might have objected to the blatant one sided viewpoint offered by the panel.  The RNA actually had the gall...

Blaming Guns for Spree Killings is like Blaming Short Skirts for Rape

Once again a mentally disturbed affluent liberal goes on a killing spree because he isn’t getting laid and OF COURSE the focus is on banning guns from the law abiding. I’m speaking specifically of the recent California spree killing perpetrated by Elliot Rodger.  While some repeatedly call this a mass shooting gun grabbers seem to overlook the fact that Elliot Rodger killed his first three victims with a knife.  He also ran over more victims in his high priced BMW. If he hadn’t killed himself when FINALLY faced with someone with a gun; I wonder if Rodgers, son of Hollywood Producer, Director and Cinematographer Peter Rodgers, would have pled not guilty by reason of affluenza for his actions…but that is a whole other ball of BS that I’m not going to get into now. No, the real issue is that some people, namely the mouth drooling anti gun troglodytes,...

Congressman Laying Groundwork For Executing American Citizens

No doubt the US government can snuff out the life of one innocent anonymous American citizen without giving it too much thought, but when it comes to systematically executing a group of armed citizens the federal government must first lay the groundwork in order to mollify the public. Much like the propaganda practices of Nazi Germany, the Federal government knows it needs to bamboozle the public into accepting the most ludicrous policies as “necessary”. You see, the systematic murdering of innocent citizens perpetrated openly by the government would not be tolerated by the masses.  But if you lie BIG enough and LONG enough and do so CONTINUOUSLY when you finally take your tyrannical actions and execute the aforementioned innocent citizens, the masses will view it through lenses that the government has lowered over their eyes. So what is the lie that is being peddled now?  The lie that the...

Selling…or sellout? That is the question for a Maryland Gun Dealer

I received a call Sunday afternoon by a producer from CBS News wanting to interview me on my thoughts about the owner of Maryland gun shop, Engage Armaments, retracting his idea of selling so called “smart” guns in his establishment. Concerning the interview, unfortunately the timing couldn’t work so I’ll be interested in seeing who they get to fill in tomorrow (Monday) night. Concerning the gun shop owner, Andy Raymond, here’s my take: First, I’m glad he listened to the sentiment of his customers.  Too often we see businesses give knee jerk reactions when an outside group gives astroturf outrage at something they don’t like.  Like how Starbucks kind of capitulated to snobby anti gun elitists who think themselves too good for Starbucks and wouldn’t be caught dead drinking someplace so “passe” to begin with. In Mr. Raymond’s situation though, the outrage is coming from people who actually PURCHASE...

Lies, Damned Lies, and LIE-berals

For most of you I don’t need to tell you that liberals love to lie in order to get their way.  They lie with misleading statistics, they lie with overblown rhetoric, they lie with dogs and rise with fleas. If you listen to the gun hating liberals lie you would think that you could go to a gun show and buy a nuclear weapon, that there is such a thing as “assault” weapons, and that blood has been running in the streets since the invention of gun powder.  Fortunately their Nazi-esque “Big Lie” has been so soundly refuted by little things like reality and logic that it has trans-morphed into little more than mouth foaming background noise. But one of the most disingenuous lies that liberals like to spout off, and too often gets traction, is the lies against people they wish to destroy. There cause celebre of the moment are comments...

(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

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...

Mass. Task Force lays out 44 ways the Legislature should infringe on your gun rights

After the shooting at Sandy Hook, a state committee in Massachusetts was charged with devising ways to end gun violence. We are a nation who loves to think everything is coded so you can go ahead and read that as “devising ways to pass acceptable gun control by exploiting the tragedy of dead children.” I’ll give Massachusetts politicians this though, they at least went through the process of giving it some thought, unlike Gov. Cuomo of New York who violated his states own prohibitions in order to jam the SAFE Act down the throats of New Yorkers in the dead of night. So what did this “task force” come up with?  While not completely erasing what’s left of the 2nd Amendment in Massachusetts, as a whole the recommendations are just gun control masquerading as something “new”. The major points: — The Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association should work with...
