Went to a funeral last month and saw one of my mothers "80 year old" friends. Discussion came up about carrying and he shows me his TAURUS 4510PD-3B REVOLVER | .45/.410.

I just said, "good for you!"

More shenanigans from the left: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/05/24...-database.html

They really are that stupid.

Yep...a bunch of subject-matter-experts right there! Some people should simply keep their mouths shut...but they insist on proving they are idiots.

Schmucks!

Gretchen Carlson, you're an idiot.
 

Gretchen Carlson, you're an idiot.

Your gun knowledge is zero. You really should talk to a gun "expert" before ranting against a gun/tool.

There's about 1000 guns that can and will do what Mateen did with an AR-15, he just so happened to use an AR-15. And like you he was a gun novice. Your argument against the AR-15 is on par with using a Ferrari or a Volkswagen to run someone down.

Tell me Gretchen Carlson, who do you think could kill more folks firing a gun, your mother using an AR-15 or a trained soldier firing a revolver? :munchin

The AR-15 is a tool, a gun and called by some "assault rifle". And we all know who made up that socialist term, "assault rifle". A gun is no more "powerful" or "deadly" than the joker wielding it. Same goes for most "tools", knives, swords, spears, cannons, bows, etc etc etc

But go ahead and rant like the mindless socialist you really are....

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a62_1465938002

Hey Gretchen if that Orlando POS Muslim murderer doesn't represent all Muslims...why would that same POS Muslim murderer represent all modern sporting rifle owners?

Sorry Gretchen on this topic you are an idiot.

I must be a terrorist
 

Not that I own an assault rifle, but it seems that the CinC in his twisted liberal logic thinks banning them will go a long way towards ending terrorism. He really seemed livid during his remarks I think he's losing it.


In his remarks, Obama also pushed for an assault weapons ban and declared, 'Enough talking about being tough on terrorism. Actually be tough on terrorism.'

Let's ban islam/muslims, liberals next.
 

So...... the democrats/liberal/socialists invite islamic terrorists into the United States. They then go onto committing mass murder.

And now the answer is to ban American "assault rifles".

Let's ban islam and muslims instead and work our way to banning liberal/socialists.



Dems renew push for gun control measures, aim for terror watch list

·Published June 15, 2016

Congressional Democrats are renewing their push for gun control measures in the wake of the Orlando terror massacre, arguing the best way to prevent suspected terrorists from carrying out acts of violence is to legally limit their access to firearms.

Republicans have their own proposals for confronting the terror threat, and warn that certain gun control measures could make Americans less safe. House Speaker Paul Ryan on Tuesday touted proposals to improve refugee screening and other measures to deal with homegrown terrorism.

But while some Democrat-backed gun proposals have little chance of passing -- like a reinstated assault-weapons ban, a move President Obama endorsed Tuesday -- others could gain traction in Congress.

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., specifically are pushing a proposal to the top of the Democratic agenda that would bar suspected terrorists from purchasing guns and explosives.

Projecting
 

Since the tyrants like to project behavioral characteristics on others, here's a little back. Feinstein & Schumer & their ilk (cast of thousands) had a not insignificant portion of their 'back-room' inner selves jumping for joy when they heard of the Orlando tragedy. Frankly, they eat this shit up.

It's going to come down to two camps:

Those that eat bacon and those that do not.

You'll find me with the bacon eaters camp. :munchin

It smells like .... VICTORY !!!!

I had eggs and pork sausage and pig bacon this morning!:D

There are some well articulated thoughts in this simple article - the Second Amendment did not kill those innocent people in Orlando - a screwed up Muslim terrorist did.

TERROR REACTION
Cal Thomas: Debate a logic-free zone
Cal Thomas
Published: Wednesday, June 22, 2016 at 5:30 a.m.

Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Massachusetts, recently disclosed that a congressional investigation has found at least 72 employees of the Department of Homeland Security listed on the U.S. terrorist watch list.

In other news, President Obama used a memorial service for the victims of the Orlando massacre to advocate for more gun control laws. Anyone else see a contradiction in these two items?

Interviewers frequently ask me why I don’t favor more gun control laws. My response: Name one law that deters someone intent on breaking the law. Murder has been prohibited since the beginning of civilization, but people still murder. One might as well outlaw human nature.

Only those predisposed to obey laws will obey them. Florida prohibits openly carrying firearms and many places advertise “gun-free zones,” which can be an open invitation to anyone intent on mass murder. The Orlando shooter, Omar Mateen, reportedly visited Pulse nightclub several times before breaking its gun-free zone policy. That night, he entered the club with an assault rifle and entered into a gun battle with the club’s security guard, an off-duty police officer. He then retreated to a bathroom, taking hostages. Had Mateen cased the place? Did he know the guard would be the only one standing in his way? It would appear so.

Despite the president’s claim to the contrary, it is reasonable to believe that even a small number of armed patrons might have limited the number of fatalities. And had the shooter known he would encounter armed patrons perhaps he might not have chosen that particular club as his target.

More gun laws are not the answer. Britain has some of the toughest gun laws in the world, but that did not stop a deranged man from shooting and stabbing to death Labour MP Jo Cox.

Omar Mateen was a radical Muslim who pledged his allegiance to ISIS. Why do so many of us find it hard to accept that Islamists want to kill us as part of a strategy to create a worldwide caliphate? And why is the president adopting their language by using the term ISIL, which stands for the “Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant,” a larger area of the Middle East that includes Lebanon, Jordan and Syria? The president uses their terminology, but refuses to say “Islamic terrorism,” while continuing to allow thousands of Syrian refugees into America when authorities say there are so many that they can’t conduct proper background checks.

The answer to the first question is political correctness. The owner of the gun store where Mateen purchased his rifle says he also asked about body armor. When Mateen left the store, someone contacted the FBI. The follow-up, however, proved insufficient.

James Kallstrom, a former FBI assistant director, recently spoke with Megyn Kelly on her Fox News show. Kallstrom told Kelly that orders have come down from the White House that the bureau cannot investigate “anything to do with Muslims” and agents are “petrified” of losing their jobs if they do.

Islamists could not have a better friend in the White House had they put one of their own there.

The media and liberal activists have returned to their default positions, of course. New York Times columnist Charles Blow blames conservative Christians and their biblical doctrines on marriage, sexuality, even evolution for fomenting “hate” against LGBT people, a hate that, supposedly, propelled Mateen toward mass homicide.

Truth is often a casualty in politics, but in a presidential election year it has become a mass casualty.

This is not the time to disarm law abiding Americans.

Standing the test
 

Happened to catch this piece from yesterday which cites the SFA appropriate roasting of Petraeus & McChrystal, as well as The Letter which continues to stand as a reference for many.

And in other news...
 

Matt Damon, star of a series I highly enjoyed... is an idiot. (And a hypocrite).

Hey Matt Damon - we can't control our own borders and the movement of illegal aliens or the movement and possession of illegal drugs and you propose we round up all of our legal firearms? Leaving only law abiding folks defenseless? Good luck with that.

FBI: June Is 14th Consecutive Month of Record Background Checks
Breitbart
by AWR HAWKINS5 Jul 2016

New FBI figures show June 2016 is the 14th consecutive month of record background checks for gun sales.

The previous FBI record for June — set in June 2o15 — was 1,529,057. The number of background checks in June 2016 was 2,131,485.

According to the FBI figures, this means June 2016 saw more background checks than any June since background checks began in 1998. Breitbart News previously reported that the record-breaking streak began in May 2015, only to have May 2016 exceed the number of background checks performed a year earlier.

On June 27, Breitbart News used FBI figures to show that the number of background checks conducted during the Obama presidency is so high that it averages out to nearly 52,000 a day. That means, an average of 52,000 citizens a day go to a retail store to buy a gun, two guns, or even more.

If Damon truly believed his rhetoric...he wouldn't allow himself to profit from activities portraying the use of such evil instruments. He is yet another hypocritical talking head in Hollywood that feels his opinion matters.

If he wants to get some attention...then turn down movies that involve the use of weapons. Then...I will say he is a man that truly stands on his principles.

I would sincerely like to see Hollywood put their cockholsters in the same location as their spotlighting fucking social activism...

I want to see empty souls like Matt Damon, Sylvester Stallone, Mark Walhberg, Liam Neeson, Danny Glover, and George Clooney commit to never again appear in, direct, produce, support, or in any way enable a film that glorifies firearms in any way.

I also challenge hypocrites to give up armed protection services; people like Rosie O'Donald, Michael Moore, and all of the other hollyweird hypocrites that don't mind having armed guards protecting them and their parties and awards ceremonies, but don't seem to think "normal" aMEricans should have access to that same kind of personal protection.
...give up your guns fatty
...you too Rosie

I also challenge them to surrender any and all monies collected through profiteering on the shoulders of gun violence.
I'm sure all of the money that Sly made on the Rambo franchise could be put to good use making our communities safer.

But it wont happen...
...because all animals are equal but some are more equal than others.

The only way to read those stats, folks are preparing for war.
Good for them.
Be ready.

Matt Damon, "morbidly hypocritical"
 

Matt Damon, "morbidly hypocritical" , it's like affluenza but only affects the hollywood elite.

I'm sure the A-list is longer but don't forget: POS Sean Penn.

Ahhhh...Ol' Sean....who, so he claims, gave up all his guns for pussy.

I could have a "tool box" to be proud of from all the hypocritical tools in Hollyweird when it comes to their hypocritical views on guns.

The A list grows by the day!

Some compelling statistics - received this from the NSSF - the numbers are at the link below.

NSSF Infographic: Gun Sales Up, Crime Rates Down

July 6, 2016 By nssfnews
With gun control advocates in Congress continuing to beat the drum on restricting Americans’ Second Amendment rights, it’s important to remember the facts are on our side.

As NSSF’s new infographic shows, violent crime continues its downward trend, even as the firearms market sees more and more growth over the past two decades. Fortunately we also see the number of firearm accidents dropping year after year.

Looking at the infographic below, one thing is clear; punishing the law-abiding firearms owners in the U.S. and the federally-regulated firearms and ammunition industry for the criminal acts of terrorists and madmen cannot be justified by data. These pictures are worth a 1,000 words.

http://www.nssfblog.com/nssf-infogra...t+Relations%29

http://newsblaze.com/business/legal/...-public_59576/

Well, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has given its final verdict on concealed carry and in what shouldn’t have come as a surprise to anyone, the en banc panel of the
9th Circuit Court of Appeals held that there is absolutely no right to carry a weapon concealed in public under the Second Amendment of the United States Constitution.


Given that all of the plaintiffs had argued that states can ban concealed carry, no one should be complaining that the 9th Circuit took them at their word. If you didn’t like the decision then blame: The National Rifle Association,

The California Rifle and Pistol Association, The Second Amendment Foundation, The CalGuns Foundation and every other so called gun-rights groups which filed an
Amicus brief in support of their lawsuits. By the way, the plaintiffs in these two cases also claimed that Open Carry can be banned. Be grateful that the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals did not agree with them on that point as well.

I sense (from some other identical postings on the internet that the author has another specific open-carry axe to grind, in/pending litigation - but it happens too often that someone takes a position that "you damn CC people are screwing with my OC rights." I think you should do both but my opinion doesn't matter. Kommifornia is so f'd up that - as states used to fight for shall-issue permit laws - CA is like little county fiefdoms in a country all their own, fighting their county sheriffs.

Given the actual narrow scope (San Diego County) of the plaintiff's attempt to chip away at the commie glacier that is CA law I don't necessarily share the author's view that all those who filed amicus briefs on behalf of the plaintiffs are to blame. There are at least a couple of other more relevant core issues:

It's Kalifornia. (c'mon YGBSM) :rolleyes:
It's the 9th Circuit. (same)

That's OK. Soon, very soon because of the democrats and the flood of muzzies they are allowing into this country unchecked, what happened in France today will become routine here in "America".

islamic bombs go off weekly in middle eastern countries and they are headed this way by the hundreds of thousands. Difference here and France, we "still" live in a free society, we can still purchase guns, ammo, explosives (black power, smokeless powder, etc) relatively easy.

The muzzies already tried a islamic terrorist attack in Texas, didn't go well. They were armed and waiting. Muzzies will learn who's armed and who's not real fast.

The attack in NYC was just a islamic terrorist test, expect more soon. Intel is not going to stop islamic terrorist attacks.

wait until HRC invites another half million immigrants into the USA and lists the NRA as a terrorist organization...

of course non of this will interfere with our women in SOF programs or full integrating of trannies into military service


interesting times for sure

Massachusetts to Enforce Longstanding Assault Weapons Ban
 

Looks like Massachusetts is trying to one up Kalifornia. On the bright side, think of how many reporters will never have to suffer from a "temporary form of PTSD"created after firing one of these scary black guns.

SMFH

It's hard to believe Massachusetts was the cradle of the American Revolution with their irrational fear of law abiding gun owners. There are still good folks up there but it seems the blood and sacrifice has been forgotten...what was it the British were coming for on that fateful day in Concord...?

Samuel Whittemore is rolling over.....

A true patriot and a stud...80 years old back in the day...what's that like 107 today? ...damn.

You have to wonder if some day around a campfire in a better place, the founders look at us and ask "how the hell could you lose the country we gave our lives, fortunes and sacred honor for?"

I wonder if Billy Waugh is of any relation to him ;)

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...dment-grounds/

I think the lawsuit should prevail, for reasons I givein this article; but I look forward to seeing what arguments D.C. offers for why, when people have a right to have deadly weapons, they shouldn’t have a right to own almost entirely nondeadly ones.

Good article and good law suit. :munchin

ATF maintains gun owner information
 

http://dailycaller.com/2016/08/02/th...l-information/

A government report discovered the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) illegally stockpiles gun owners’ personal information.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), the go-to federal oversight agency, conducted an audit of ATF and found it does not remove certain identifiable

information, despite the law explicitly mandating it do so. GAO conducted reviews for four data systems, and concluded at least two of ATF’s systems violated official protocols.

One of the data-collecting systems called Multiple Sales (MS) requires that multiple firearms purchased at once must be reported to ATF by the federal firearms licensee (FFL). ATF policy requires that the bureau internally removes particular data from multiple gun sales reports after two years if the firearm has not been traced to criminal activity. GAO found that ATF does not adhere to its own policy. In fact, “until May 2016, MS contained over 10,000 names that were not consistently deleted within the required 2 years.”

Another system called Access 2000, or A2K, establishes servers to be used by National Tracing Center (NTC) personnel. The NTC can electronically search FFLs’ records for certain information needed to track the history of a firearm.

Wonder who will insure the ATF removes that data? :munchin

...since when does the government need to follow the law?

Silly peasants - laws dont apply to the government.

Funny you should bring that up, I guess O just learned about it while watching the news on Martha's Vineyard. I am sure he will get to the bottom of it when he gets back to D.C.

NICS background checks to date.

Survey: Nearly 110 Million Americans Have a Gun at Home
Gun rights see record-high levels of support in Pew Poll
BY: Stephen Gutowski
September 1, 2016 11:45 am

A recent survey found that 44 percent of respondents either own a gun or live with somebody who does, suggesting that some 110 million Americans live in a house with firearms.

The latest Pew Research Center poll, conducted between Aug. 9 and 16, found 31 percent of those surveyed own a gun, the highest number in the poll’s history. Another 13 percent reported living with somebody who owns a firearm. Twelve percent said they own their own firearm and live with somebody else who does. A slim majority, 51 percent, said nobody in their household owns a firearm, the lowest number in the poll’s history.

The latest United States Census Bureau estimate pegs the number of adults living in the country at 247,813,910. If Pew’s survey is correct then at least 109,038,120 Americans have a gun in their home.

The general concept of gun rights also won out over the desire to tighten gun control laws. A slim majority of respondents said it was more important to protect the right of Americans to own guns than it is to control gun ownership.

Furthermore, gun rights enjoyed more passionate support, with 46 percent of supporters saying they “strongly agreed” with the importance of protecting gun rights, while only 37 percent of gun control supporters felt the same level of intensity.
