ANTI-GUN Mentality Alive and Thriving
Posted on | January 22, 2011 | No Comments
Today will mark two weeks since a deranged individual took a Glock and went on a rampage in Tuscon, Arizona. In the end, six persons were killed and nineteen were wounded. Congresswoman Giffords was the nutjob’s main target. Let’s be clear, no law-abiding gun owner wants the negative publicity this type of occurrence brings. We, (gun owners) just want to enjoy our sport of choice and all the variations of that sport. Yes, assault rifles, large caliber, rapid fire, large capacity-clip, etc. are all part of the sporting culture we call our own. Unfortunately, when this idiot and other idiots like him decide to get their “15 minutes of fame”, things like this happen. More laws won’t stop these events. Banning any or all weapons won’t stop these events. Deranged persons who are hell bent on destruction, are going to create destruction. Simple as that.
In today’s world, information is instant. The internet along with a myriad of electronic devices have virtually turned almost every living person into a reporter, witness and sometimes unwilling participant. Just one week from the shooting in Tuscon, these two magazines hit the mailboxes of subscribers everywhere:
Time Magazine and Bloomberg Businessweek (January 24th 2011)
In one weeks’ time, literally millions of pieces of information were gathered, analyzed, collated, postulated, debated and so on, and published so quickly, newspaper men from the early 1900’s would be astounded.
I am urging all members of the gun culture; sporting, collectors, competitors, and protectors, to realize that this act is a crime by an individual. The act of a deranged person. It is what it is, a tragedy, but a crime nonetheless.
For the Anti-Gun persons out there, Try not to let fear cloud judgment. Please, don’t blame ALL guns or gun owners for this one persons’ murderous crime. Let him stand trial and be punished to the fullest extent of the law. I would go so far as to say “televise” his execution. Maybe that would show people like him, that there are consequences for their actions.

Anti-Gun Senator Shoots Intruder
Posted on | February 19, 2010 | No Comments
Excuse the typos but this was a copy and paste article received via email. It was so humorous that we had to share it!
Long time Anti-Gun Advocate State Senator R.C. Soles, 74, shot one of two intruders at his home just outside Tabor City, N.C. about 5 p.m. Sunday, the prosecutor for the politician’s home county said.
The victim, kyle Blackburn, was taken to a South Carolina hospital, but the injuries were not reported to be life- threatening, according to Rex Gore, district attorney for Columbus, Bladen and Brunswick counties..
The State Bureau of Investigation and Columbus County sheriff’s Department are investigating the shooting, Gore said. Soles, who was not arrested, declined to discuss the incident Sunday evening.
“I am not in a position to talk to you,” Soles said by telephone. “I’m right in the middle of an investigation.”
Soles, a top-ranking Democrat and the longest-serving member of the legislature, already was the subject of an FBI investigation over sexual misconduct allegations with former male clients.
The Senator, who has made a career of being against gun ownership for the general public, didn’t hesitate to defend himself with his own gun when he believed he was in im- mediate danger and he was the victim. But refuses to vote for ALL people to have the same luxury.
In typical hypocritical liberal fashion, the “Do As I Say and Not As I Do” Anti-Gun Activist Lawmaker picked up his gun and took action in what apparently was a self-defense shooting. Why hypocritical you may ask? It is because his long legislative record shows that the actions that he took to protect his family, his own response to a dangerous life threatening situation, are actions that he feels ordinary citizens should NOT have if they were faced with an identical situation.
It has prompted some to ask if the Senator believes his life and personal safety is more valuable than yours or mine.
But, this is to be expected from those who believe they can run our lives, raise our kids, and protect our families better than we can.
Hope you enjoyed!

NRA STATE ASSOCIATIONS NATIONWIDE URGING SUPREME COURT TO APPLY SECOND AMENDMENT TO STATES
Posted on | February 19, 2010 | No Comments
“A cooperative of nearly all NRA State Associations, including CSSA, has filed an amicus curiae (“friend of the court”) brief in McDonald v. City of Chicago, in which the U.S. Supreme Court will consider whether the Second Amendment, just as the First, Fourth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments, applies directly to the individual States and their subdivisions via the equal protection and privileges and immunities clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Earlier this year, the Seventh U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Chicago, ruled that Ottis McDonald’s Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms could not be asserted against the City of Chicago and it’s general handgun ban.
The Seventh Circuit specifically held that last year’s ruling in Heller v. D.C., which confirmed that the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms, was inapplicable because it applied only to federal jurisdictions such as the District of Columbia.
The Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in New York City, has also issued a ruling similar to that of the Seventh Circuit, while the Ninth Circuit, based in San Francisco, has held that the Second Amendment does in fact apply to the individual states. This “circuit split” is most likely the reason for the U.S. Supreme Court’s review of the issue; the Court’s decision is expected next year.”
