New York gun snitch line invites abuse

If I'm a drug dealer and I want to eliminate the competition, why not let New York's finest do the job for me? Chances are, my rivals will be packing, so I'll not only get them busted, but I'll collect a cool grand per head. And if I'm really lucky, maybe one or more of them will go for their waistbands and I can get the cops to take 'em out for me. Or what if I'm just mad at somebody? What if some bum has stolen my girl or I think a guy ripped me off or I'm just a creep who wants to victimize someone for the twisted hell of it? [More

We're the Only Ones All Fired Up Enough

Don't Let Your Rights Go Up in Smoke

OFF takes no position on marijuana, but we are concerned about the gun rights of veterans. Persons who use medical marijuana lose their gun rights under Federal law. We think it’s important that any bill that expands marijuana use to those dealing with PTSD should clearly warn the users of the threat to their liberties. [More]

What a disgraceful imbecile. Not this Marxist douche--lying is what he does.

I'm talking about the CNN "reporterette" who doesn't jump right in, stop him and ensure their viewers are being told the truth.

Gun Memes

This page has been created to provide a resource of bare-knuckle graphics to fight the anti-gunners by exposing how dangerous there subversion is. The images have been sized to work with both computers and personal devices.

The object here is to bookmark and share this page and use the images whenever you find them useful.

I'm going to create a "Gun Memes" sidebar click-through so you don't have to search for this post.

Of Course?



A man abuses and threatens his ex‑wife. She tells a judge that she is frightened and that he is armed. The court orders him to stay away from her. Should it also order him to give up his guns?

Of course it should. If a protective order is to mean anything, the court must do all that it reasonably can do to keep a vulnerable person from becoming a homicide statistic. [More]
First, define "abuse."

If she's telling the truth, arrest him, charge him with appropriate felonies, set appropriate bail to let him know this is serious and slap a monitor on him, and don't forget to make sure she knows about her options for self-defense.

Oh wait, this is New York, and these are the "feminist" supporters who tell the poor dears a gun would only be taken away from them and used against them.

And I hate to bring up this unpleasant potential, but what if she's just a lying bipolar headcase b!tch from hell who just wants to destroy the poor guy she's been serial-abusing with everything she can throw at him?

We're the Only Ones Quid Pro Quo Enough?

He said the indictment lays out allegations that Parker allowed inmates to go shopping, eat out, wear civilian clothing, even live outside jail in exchange for doing work at his home and within the Sheriff's Department...Skipper was given access to firearms, spend holidays with his family and have unsupervised visits with female visitors, the indictment states.

This Day in History: March 21

From what I saw and learned while at the Eastward I am convinced the Levies will be late in the Field and I fear very deficient of the requisition. My regard for the public good and my inclination to promote your success will prompt me to give every assistance and to make every diversion in your favor, But what can I do if I am not furnished with the means? I most anxiously await the event of the present operation in Virginia. If attended with success it may have the happiest influence upon our southern affairs by leaving the force of Virginia free to act. For while there is an Enemy in the heart of the Country you can neither expect Men or supplies from it in that full and regular manner in which they ought to be given. [More]
