14 Steps To Help Your Survival On the Upcoming Disaster

We all like to think we can “rough” it when the $h!+ hits the fan and that we are conditioned to be Mountain Men and Women if the times call for it.  But I have to question, have you made any plans or contingencies beyond a bug out bag and a few weeks of food? See, there is more to surviving a disaster than being a badass.  It takes some thought and preparation to not only survive but thrive in face of a life changing disaster. For instance, Iran will soon have a working nuclear bomb thanks to President Obama.  For a quick moment Iran was all nicey nice with the US and before the spittle was dry on the Ayatollah’s boots from all the licking Obama was doing, the Iranians once again started the “death to America” rhetoric. Our good friend and radio host Tamara Jackson, recently did a show...

Model and Actress Kelly Carlson Carries A Firearm for Self Defense

Model and Actress Kelly Carlson is not some gun hating Hollywood actress, quite the contrary.  She recently opened up on her pro gun viewpoints and why she herself carries a firearm. Despite being trained in the Filipino martial art of Kali since the age of 19, Carlson understood that some situations may arise where Kali wouldn’t be enough. “Owning a firearm…was life changing for me because women for sure, but even men too can be in a very, very vulnerable position with no options if you have intruders or any scenario where you’re being dominated physically. [A firearm] is the only equalizer you have.” Carlson has recently revealed that in 2012 she was a victim of a stalker who hired 7 men to break into her house, compromise her electronic devices and ambush her. After several break-ins and being followed on the streets, she contacted law enforcement who were not...

Bruce Jenner Makes Me Want To Vomit

To paraphrase Snoop Dogg, “Bruce Jenner isn’t news, he’s a science experiment.” I couldn’t agree more.  Shame on ESPN to be force feeding the sports watching public with this liberal dogmatic crap, continually hammering in this lie that having a sex change is somehow normal or a courageous act. No.  It is a mental disorder.  It even has a name, Body Dysmorphic Disorder.  We don’t champion anorexics or bulimics for being “brave” enough to starve or vomit their way to a thinner body. There is nothing brave or natural about chopping off parts of your body and taking a plethora of drugs to change your sex.  It’s a psychological disease that needs treatment and therapy and all the people who are cheering for Bruce Jenner’s mutilation of himself are fooling both themselves and this man whose mental disorder has led him down a path of Frankensteinian horror. Posit for a moment...

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...

Constitutional Carry: New Hampshire Falters While Maine Rises

In an update from earlier articles I have written about the 2 New England states bucking the gun control trends from nearby states of Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York, Maine and New Hampshire have both passed legislation allowing their citizens to fully exercise their right to keep and bear arms without the bureaucracy, cost, or invasion of privacy and human dignity that goes along with begging the government to do so. Unfortunately, New Hampshire’s leading mouth breather, Gov. Maggie Hassan has gone against the will of the legislature and the will of the people by vetoing the Constitutional Carry measure. Hassan gave the standard two faced talk from both sides of her mouth by stating that she supports the 2nd Amendment but by eliminating the need for people to beg the government to exercise their rights it would “compromise the public safety of our citizens.” No…the only thing it...

Support the Freedom to Carry

I’ve penned a new op-ed at Counter Cultured on the freedom to carry–constitutional carry–in all 50 states.   Last week, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states by citing the 14th Amendment as justification for this. While this ruling was disappointing –  government has now redefined marriage – we must promote a culture of marriage without quick legislative fixes or government intervention. If one positive thing has come out of this ruling, it gives the 14th Amendment license to be applied to gun rights with respect to the right to carry.  Section I of the 14th Amendment reads: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;...

The Insidious Erosion of the Second Amendment

The tragic case of 39 year-old Carol Browne of Berlin Township New Jersey is the first. Ms. Browne was dutifully waiting on a lethargic bureaucracy for her concealed carry pistol permit in order to defend herself against an abusive ex-boyfriend when he accosted Browne in her driveway on June 3 and stabbed her to death.

PROOF that Wounded Warrior Project uses less than 52% of donations to help vets

I wrote an article at the end of 2014 “Stop Donating To The Wounded Warrior Project – They’re a Fraud” discussing how little of the donations that the Wounded Warrior Project gets actually goes to helping veterans in need. From the hundreds of comments that article received, a vase majority of people echoed their own personal frustration in dealing with the Wounded Warrior Project and how they were made to feel more like stage props for fundraising campaigns than actual human beings in need. Of course, there were a few vehement, “head in the sand” supporters of the WWP who accused me of being anti veteran (even though I am a vet myself) and of anyone who said anything bad about the WWP as being ungrateful or having a nefarious ulterior motive. Even when I engaged these blind followers and told them about how the breakdown of money is spent they...

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...

Uber Bans Drivers and Passengers From Being Armed; Driver Promptly Robbed At Gunpoint

In another example of anti-gun asininity, San Francisco based company Uber Technologies Inc. came up with the brilliant idea to ban its drivers and users from carrying firearms while using the car service. From their June 10th Policy Change: UBER FIREARMS PROHIBITION POLICY We seek to ensure that everyone using the Uber digital platform—both driver-partners and riders—feels safe and comfortable using the service. During a ride arranged through the Uber platform, Uber and its affiliates therefore prohibit possessing firearms of any kind in a vehicle. Any rider or driver found to have violated this prohibition may lose access to the Uber platform. I highlighted the truly inane part.  Once again, liberal gun grabbers seem to think that it is better to FEEL safe than to actually BE safe. In less than a fortnight this policy was shown to be the train-wreck it was destined to be as an Uber...

#WEARINGORANGE Campaign Pushes Same Old Gun Control Narrative

Countless celebrities, politicians,  and other public figures have tweeted pictures with the hashtag #WearingOrange to draw attention to National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Sounds like a noble cause, right? I don’t personally know anyone who’s for senseless violence–do you?  What could possibly be wrong with this occasion? Plenty of things. Why be skeptical? It’s an effort headed up by Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety, the parent organization of Moms Demand Action and Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Both of these groups are also notorious for their anti-gun, pro-disarmament positions. They exploit tragedies and profit from fearmongering.  Several people have tweeted me saying this is a nonpartisan, moderate campaign. The list of featured sponsors suggests otherwise: Amnesty International Brady Campaign The Campaign to Keep Guns Off Campus Center for American Progress Coalition to Stop Gun Violence Media Matters for America Moveon.org National Action Network Unite Blue The anti-gun crowd has...

Gun Owners To Cuomo: Take Your Unconstitutional SAFE Act and Shove It

I have been long fighting the good fight about the tyrant of the Empire State, Andrew Cuomo and his constitution shredding SAFE Act.  It is good to see that I am not alone. Our friend, Rusty Weiss at Mental Recession passed along this article detailing how the gun owners of New York feel about their would be potentate. Between abject apathy and fiery condemnation to Cuomo and his unconstitutional edicts, the people by and large have basically just IGNORED both the governor and the law. To quote  Tom King, president of the Albany-based New York State Rifle and Pistol Association: “It would appear the people have just bypassed the legislature and simply repealed it on their own.” Here’s the article in its entirety: After a much-publicized court battle between State Police and gun groups, numbers for the registration of so-called “assault-style” weapons under Governor Cuomo’s unconstitutional SAFE Act have been...

Gun Owners Make Good Neighbors

In an article written by our friend and colleague Tamara Jackson, Tami recounts growing up around guns and the kind of people gun owners tend to be. Not the sensationalized version that fearmongering gun control zealots like to portray but rather the “law-abiding, Constitution-loving, peaceful, give-the-shirt-off-their-back patriots.” The following was first published at ROBAR Guns: Remember the whimsical, lyrical words in call and response style from Barack Obama, “it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion?” And of course his side-kick, Double-Ought Slow Joe reminded his bros in the black community, “They’re gonna put y’all back in chains.” As we’ve seen with the recent church shooting in South Carolina, Obama never wastes an opportunity to jump on the gun-control wagon. But what’s missing from these accusations and stereotypes is the truth. The actual truth about the millions of Americans who shoot, who carry, and conceal...

Texas Open Carry Stumbles At The Finish Line; Allows Police To Abuse Authority

Texas open carry has become a reality as has campus carry.  Those are great things.  I always found it laughable that, before the police in Pennsylvania were properly trained, some cops would harass me and other open carriers and say things like: “This is Pennsylvania, not TEXAS.” Well, Texas has finally joined the other 45 states that allow Open Carry. It by no means smooth sailing as Bloomberg and his cabal of astroturf supporters tried their usual shtick of fearmongering and deceitful propaganda, but to no avail this time. HB910 went to Gov. Abbott’s desk for his signature and he signed it into law on June 13th, 2015. Open carry becomes legal for all permit holders in the Lone Star state come January 1st, 2016. Why the wait?  I don’t know.  And yes, a permit-less open carry law would have been preferable. But where the law really stumbled was with...

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:...

Will Pardoned NJ Prospective Police Officer Josey-Davis Enforce Gun Law He Was Convicted Of?

Gov. Chris Christie once again had to pardon an otherwise innocent person when they were snagged by the Draconian gun control law that seeks to disenfranchise the citizens of New Jersey from exercising their rights. On Sept. 20th, 2013 Steffon Josey-Davis was out on a drive with his fiance when he was pulled over for driving with an expired registration.  Josey-Davis informed the officer who pulled him over that he had forgot to move his legally owned firearm from his glove compartment to his trunk after working as an armed security guard with Loomis Armored earlier that day. Well, the arresting officer decided to leave all discretion with his common sense (up his ass) and arrested Josey-Davis for unlawful weapons possession, a felony in the state of New Jersey. In order to avoid jail time and being completely railroaded by an unjust system, Josey-Davis took a plea deal that made...

Bill Seeks To Stop BATFE Abuse Against Gun Owners By Removing Vague Language Exploited By Agency

The 2nd Amendment has nothing to do with hunting and it sure as hell doesn’t have anything to do with “sporting purposes.” The 2nd Amendment is in the Bill of Rights because it is the right of all Americans to defend themselves from tyranny. That is what the Founding Fathers believed, that is what I believe and that is what the Supreme Court of the United States has ruled. Yet, leave it to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to ignore all of that and focus on an vague, undefined term in some gun control legislation passed decades ago. The term is “sporting purposes.” The term “sporting purposes” is undefined by federal statute and has been subject to several reinterpretations by the BATFE and its predecessor agency.  BATFE and anti-gun administrations have exploited the lack of a clear definition of “sporting purposes” to bypass Congress and...
