Judge and Commissioner Conspire To Disarm Citizens – Leads to Armed Robbery

In a case of liberal gun grabbing judicial activism run amok, Superior Court Judge Donald Stephens ignored state law when he banned concealed carry at the North Carolina State Fair.  Stephens ruling came in a challenge against Agricultural Commissioner Steve Troxler summarily banning concealed carry at the state fair…a power he actually doesn’t have. Yet when the pro-gun group Grass Roots North Carolina took this seemingly slam dunk case to court to have Troxler’s dreams of monarchy reigned in, they only found a jurist who would wantonly ignore the rule of law and pass judgment based on his own biases against the 2nd Amendment.  In short, ruling the illegal, legal. In the judges own words, he commits to finding a way to uphold the ban, whether legal or not:  “I do believe it would be unwise and imprudent for firearms to be carried into the State Fair, and if there is...

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...

Canadian Takes A Hard Look At Own Country’s Hand Gun Ban

One of the biggest lies that Gun Controllers here in America like to spout off is that in countries where gun control is strict they have no mass shootings or crime of any sort.  The truth, as we are reminded this week in Canada, is much different. And it is not just American’s who recognize the failure of gun control and its inherent empowering of criminals; here is what a French Canadian, born and raised had to say on the issue: From Lowderwithcrowder.com By now you’ve no doubt heard of the Canadian shooting tragedy to have taken place in Ottawa on Parliament Hill. My heart genuinely sinks for the victims, their families and anyone hurt by such an unnecessary travesty. Prayers their way. Now, believe me, I hate the politicization of tragedy.  Sadly, the left has already begun to circle the travesty (both in the USA and Canada) before the bodies have even gone cold....

NY’s SAFE Act and Gun Free Zones Combine For Rapist’s Buffet

Thanks to New York’s government sanctioned denial of 2nd Amendment rights to law abiding citizens, coupled with the fool’s notion that criminals believe in and adhere to so called “Gun Free Zones”, the state has now become a buffet for rapists and kidnappers. Rapist and kidnappers like Shane Harding.  Police arrested Harding on the morning of October 1st.  Harding had attempted to kidnap and rape a woman on Tuesday in a gun free zone super market parking lot.  Lucky for the woman she was able to fight him off since Harding was using a bb gun at the time.  Unfortunately he made a second, successful attempt later that day using a real gun. This gun was illegally obtained by the way, since Harding is a Level 3 registered sex offender after being convicted of violently raping a 17 year old girl in 2008 and was released in January after...

Ghost Guns: Because Freedom Will Find a Way

With the advent of the affordable 3D printer and the PC connected milling machine, I recall the movie Jurassic Park.  In that movie Dr. Ian Malcolm, played by Jeff Goldblum, made an observation when Jurassic Park’s Creator, John Hammond, was explaining the measures they put in place to control the dinosaurs.  In particular, by making all the animals female they removed the ability for reproduction that wasn’t monitored and registered by the facility. To which Malcolm responded with: John, the kind of control you’re attempting simply is… it’s not possible. If there is one thing the history of evolution has taught us it’s that life will not be contained. Life breaks free, it expands to new territories and crashes through barriers, painfully, maybe even dangerously, but, uh… well, there it is. In response one of the technicians quipped: “You’re implying that a group composed entirely of female animals will…...

NJ Leaves Citizens Unable To Stop Bear Attack

Despite it’s reputation for being the trash heap for New York City, having a rundown blighted gambling town and dirty needles washing up on its shores, New Jersey actually has some nature.  And with that nature, a surprisingly high population of black bears. Unfortunately for the VAST majority of New Jersians, if they want to leave the smoggy, industrial, morally barren part of their state to enjoy nature on its north and western borders they must do so unarmed and as such be unable to adequately defend themselves from predators.  I include those who walk on two feet as well as those who do so on four. I wrote an article earlier this month entitled “Why you should ALWAYS carry a sidearm when you go hunting”, when a man was attacked by a bear and couldn’t bring his bow and arrow to heed quick enough. Perhaps that title wasn’t inclusive...

Everytown For Gun Safety Unintentionally Makes Great Case For Gun Rights

It’s always funny when gun controllers use situations in where a law abiding gun owner could have or has made a difference as reasons to push forth more gun control.  I recently wrote an article about a woman who saved her husband’s life while he was being beaten by a group of brass knuckle wearing thugs, Mom’s Demand Action pointed to that as a reason why guns should be banned in parks. It therefore comes as no surprise when I come across a video in which the message of the gun controllers does exactly the opposite of the intent. The following video was produced by Bloomberg organization Everytown for Gun Safety.  The video shows a situation that is made possible by a gun control mindset: Let’s point out some fails on this one. First, restraining orders are like gun free zones, they only work if a bad guy listens...

Cops are now stealing their OWN guns

Far too often you hear cases about law abiding citizens having their guns confiscated by police officers never to have them returned.  While this appears to happen in mostly anti gun states like California the idea that shady characters can act with impunity behind a badge effects all 50 states. Let us not forget to point out with healthy skepticism, the notion that police officers who run the gun control scheme of “gun buybacks” are really going to let a $10,000 gun or rifle go to the smelter.  No, they are going to hand the schmuck who is pawning ol grampa’s WWII memento for a $25 gift certificate to Bed Bath and Beyond while the officer (or dept) is adding that same rifle to his own personal collection, if he doesn’t sell it outright. So it comes at NO surprise to me that according to the Pentagon, police officers...

My “Violence Interrupter” is the gun on my hip

Leave it to New York City to once again have its head so far up its fourth point of contact that any crappy idea smells like roses to them. Mayor DeBlasio, taking over right where Bloomberg left off with crackpot ideas is spending nearly $13 million of taxpayer money on a “Gun Crisis Management System.” According to our friends at Liberty Unyielding: A key facet of the Mayor’s plan, backed by the City Council, are so-called “violence interrupters.” These interrupters will be seeded in high-crime police precincts to disrupt street crime before it reaches the point of a gun muzzle. This comes as the administration’s response to a 12 percent uptick in shootings this year in the City that Never Sleeps. The plan is based on the Cure Violence model, which is designed to treat gun violence as a health care issue. The cure proposed is to identify those...

Intelligent Life Found In New York?

Since I will be keeping a close eye on the upcoming New York gubernatorial election, as gun control and gun rights will be at its center thanks to Cuomo’s tyrannical and asininely named SAFE Act, I take an opportunity to read the local periodicals when I get the chance. It was in doing so that I was pleasantly surprised the the liberal rag The Schenectady Gazette had the courage to actually print a letter to the editor from a person I can only imagine is a reader of mine.  Because Don Steciak of Schenectady pretty much wrote a piece that might as well come from my own hand. Take a look at some of the good old fashioned common sense that seems to still exist in pockets of New York: Gun Control not right solution to random shootings On May 23, another nut case went on a rampage, in...

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,...

Chipolte take note: “Gun Free” Restaurant Robbed at Gunpoint

As you may have heard Chipolte has revised its gun policy. The restaurant chain is now banning guns within their stores and creating criminal empowerment zones.  In a statement released by the company they state: “Because the display of firearms in our restaurants has now created an environment that is potentially intimidating or uncomfortable for many of our customers, we think it is time to make this request.” Interesting, because a couple of anti gun rabble rousers go to social media and click a “like” button, Chipolte decides that they will make a company policy disarming all the law abiding people that would patron their restaurants. For those who will continue to eat at Chipolte, I wonder how intimidating and uncomfortable it will be for them when actual bad guys with guns come busting in the place with the freedom and foreknowledge that they can get in, rob and...

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...

Gun Controllers Proved Wrong AGAIN as Student Goes On STABBING Spree

In Murrysville Pennsylvania, a scant 15 miles away from Downtown Pittsburgh a student has been arrested for going on a stabbing spree wherein some 20 students were injured, seven of which have life threatening injuries. Franklin Regional High School was the scene of the carnage as the unnamed student entered in the building a little after 7am and started running through the halls stabbing people.  Emergency Management Spokesman for Westmoreland County, Dan Stevens, had this to say: “School was in session and students were arriving for morning classes. It happened in numerous classrooms and the hallways.”  The suspect, a male student who attends Franklin Regional, is in custody. Elementary school was cancelled before any students arrived.  The middle and high school’s were placed on lockdown and students were only being released to their parents. More information about motive and the extent of damage will come with time. But I...

Military Bases Are Gun Free Zones…Once Again, THAT’S The Problem

There is a common misconception among the civilian population that US Military bases are full of armed soldiers walking around ready at all times to repel attack.  On US soil, that couldn’t be further from the truth. The truth of the matter is that US Military bases are treated like gun control cities regardless of what state they happen to be in.  Soldiers on all military installations, including Fort Hood, are not armed while on post, nor are they permitted to carry any privately owned firearms. Only law enforcement and security personnel are allowed to have weapons on post. From the Department of Defenses Regulations: The authorization to carry firearms shall be issued only to qualified personnel when there is a reasonable expectation that life or DoD assets will be jeopardized if firearms are not carried. Evaluation of the necessity to carry a firearm shall be made considering this...

Gun Control Fanatic Senator Leland Yee Finally Arrested On Corruption Charges

I’ve been saying that Leland Yee was a criminal for years…federal authorities finally paid attention. Yee was arrested by the FBI Wednesday morning for public corruption.  While this isn’t terribly surprising given Lee’s track record of ignoring what was morally and ethically right, what IS slightly surprising is that among the charges being leveled against Yee is GUN TRAFFICKING.  How poetically ironic. Yee doesn’t seem as happy in the back of a FBI Agent’s car as he was when he was persecuting law abiding gun owners in California. This isn’t even your typical white collar politician crime which consists of kickbacks and quid quo pro arrangements.  Yee is being charged with conspiring to traffic in firearms and who is conspiring with?  Yee is now being linked to Chinese Mafioso Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow, former soldier in San Francisco’s Hop Sing Tong gang. First convicted in 1978 for robbery in...

You have a license to carry that gun tattoo?

In a story that is just full of fail a man from Maine had his home besieged by SWAT troopers armed with assault rifles because he had a tattoo. In Norridgewock Maine, Michael Smith works nights so when a tree removal crew entered onto HIS property and started making a racket at 10am he was understandably upset.  Smith arose from his bed and went outside to tell the intruders to get off his property and to keep it down.  Coming directly from his comfortable bed Smith didn’t feel inclined to put a shirt on.  It was this inaction that revealed his “dangerous and frightening” tattoo; that of a handgun by his waistband. Smith went back to bed and the tree removal crew called the cops and filed a false report.  The crew said something to the effect that Smith had threatened them with a gun and as a result...

Another win for gun control as 29 unarmed Chinese are slaughtered during KNIFE rampage

Gun controllers love to to try and say that knife rampages don’t happen. That is a fallacy.  Knife rampages do indeed happen.  They just happen in gun control utopias…and gun controllers HATE to have to admit that. And no, I don’t mean just in places like human rights violating China. I’m talking about Sunset Park, Brooklyn and in California schools. You can click on those hyperlinks to read those tales.  But this article is about China.  In Kunming China on Saturday, 29 unarmed (thanks gun control) innocent civilians were butchered when 5 knife wielding assailants started hacking their way through the chattel. 5 people killed 29 and injured 143 more before the police EVENTUALLY got there to shoot 4 of the perpetrators and capture one. Fortunately the 29 dead and 143 injured did not have to dirty their hands with having to use a gun to save their own lives...
