Guns Save Life

Last January, at the height of the Sandy Hook hysteria, the Ohio National Guard held a training exercise.

The “bad guys”?

Strict Constructionist Constitutional supporters of the Second Amendment.  (Keep in mind that link is to the left-of-center Wiki).

When pressed about the scenario involving Second Amendment supporters by a reporter representing Media Trackers, Ohio National Guard Communications Director James Sims II hung up after claiming the Second Amendment scenario didn’t really portray gun rights activists as bad guys.

Oh really?

The

America’s favorite rifle is America’s favorite rifle.

Anti-gun politicians, including New York State’s Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo, think they can wave a magic wand and the marketplace will respect their arbitrary and capricious edicts without adapting?

These gun haters are about as smart as a gun.

Or a hammer.

Or a club.

Introducing the New York “SAFE Act”-legal AR-15.

It’s got anti-gunners seething with anger.

Clash Daily has the story:

(Clash Daily) – Prototypes for the newly designed AR-15 are hitting gun shops across New York, as gun shops and machinists have designed a rifle that complies with the anti-gun

Wendy Davis, darling of the far-left wing of the Democrat Party in Texas, has in recent days – as her campaign for governor crumbled around her thanks to her discredited lies – discovered her new-found interest in supporting Texans’ right to open carry.

Yeah, we chuckled too.

We were amused – and then bemused – at her sudden change of heart on guns.  After all, she is an NRA F-rated candidate and you have to work to earn that failing grade from the NRA.

Unfortunately for poor Wendy, her crass pandering…

yes, pandering:

We’ve been getting “concerned” emails of late about rumors of a new gun registration bill in the Illinois House.

It’s true.  There is such a bill.  Representative Kelly M. Cassidy (D-Moonbatteryland) has introduced House Bill 4715 – a firearm registration bill.

Here’s the summary:

Creates the Firearms Registration Act. Provides that every person in the State must register each firearm he or she owns or possesses in accordance with the Act. Provides that a person shall not purchase or possess ammunition within this State without having first obtained a registration certificate identifying a firearm that is suitable for use with that ammunition, or a receipt demonstrating that the person has applied to register a suitable firearm under the Act and that the application is pending. Provides that the Department of State Police must complete a background check of any person who applies for: (1) a registration certificate for a firearm that was lawfully owned or possessed on the effective date of the Act, was brought into the State by a new resident, or was acquired by operation of

Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns has suffered a 15% drop in membership since the Newtown tragedy, losing 161 members in that time.

The losses stem from both members who felt misled as to the group’s goals to members expelled because of criminal misdeeds.

Meanwhile, the NRA has grown from 3+ million before Newtown to over 5 million today.

From the Washington Examiner:

As it has broadened its attacks on lawmakers and Second Amendment groups like the National Rifle Association, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s aggressive “Mayors Against Illegal Guns” group has experienced a sharp 15-percent drop in mayor-members.

According to a new count, the group’s membership has gone from a high of 1,046 following the shootings at Newtown, Conn.’s Sandy Hook Elementary

The new Remington R51 pistol is actually getting more digital and dead tree ink than the new G2 Research RIP 9mm round, if that’s actually possible.

We saw how the hype is just that with the new R.I.P. round and it looks as though an unbiased look at the R51 by Nick Leghorn over at The Truth About Guns reveals some profound problems with Remington’s new pistola.

Overall Rating: * *
It’s a great concept, but there are serious design flaws that shouldn’t be acceptable in a modern firearm. For a gun that’s being marketed to new shooters and people with a freshly-printed concealed carry license, it’s way too easy to re-assemble the gun incorrectly. And the painful shooting experience will keep people from putting much time into practicing with the gun.

If you’re thinking of buying one for carry, here a

Perusing IllinoisCarry this morning and saw a post that gave me pause.

A week after taking his IL and FL CCW class, I had a situation that I never expected to have.  At 7:30 in the morning someone started knocking at my door.  The knocks turned into bangs and my wife and children were all scared.  I decided that I needed to to do something.  I grabbed my gun and loaded a magazine, chambered a round and holstered it.  I then went outside to confront this guy.  A few weeks ago, I would have been nervous and unsure of myself.  I now had a clear understanding of what I needed to do and what I might have to do if things got ugly.  I walked outside and drew my weapon and was ready.  It’s amazing how things change quickly when you’re looking down the barrel

Former anti-gun Massachusetts State Representative Carlos Henriquez probably doesn’t like the sex available to him in jail.

Why are gun control proponents such control freaks?  Why are they so violent?

Massachusetts State Representative Carlos Henriquez should be a poster-child for the “War on Women” meme that national Democrats have delivered to us for almost two years now.

The anti-gun Henriquez was a member of the Massachusetts House in July 2012 when he was charged with domestic kidnapping and domestic assault and battery.  …of a college student who met him while working on a class project.  From the Boston Globe:

…have a message for you.

It’s Sunday.  Time for some lighter fare.

This is wonderful, four-minute video.  Turn up the volume and pay attention to this guy.  He is very humorous in his pointed satire of a proposed local ordinance to ban “loaded carry” to “make Ashland safer”.   How he delivered this with such a straight face is beyond me.

The story behind the video?  From YouTube:

A citizen speaks to the City Council in opposition to a local “loaded carry” ban ordinance one of the Councilors has brought for consideration. No facts, figures, statistics, or other evidence of any existing problem has been presented by the sponsoring Councilor. She has however, made emotional pleas to “protect the children”, dropped the “Sandy Hook” t

Move over Maxim. American Rifleman bumps Maxim magazine off top 25 list.

How about that…

American Rifleman bumped Maxim magazine off to enter the top 25 titles, in circulation, as reported by the Alliance for Audited Media.

From Ad Age:

American Rifleman, one of the magazines that members of the National Rifle Association can receive as part of their membership, posted a 29.3% boost in circulation in the second half of last year, compared with the second half of 2012, according to new numbers released Thursday by the Alliance for Audited Media, which tracks magazine circulation. That leap, to an average circulation of 2.2 million from 1.7 million, was enough to propel Ame

Why are anti-gun activists so violent?

Could it be the manifestation of psychological projection in their fears of gun owners?

In any event, the at-times violent, anti-gun activist and jailed Massachusetts State Representative Carlos Henriquez was expelled from the Massachusetts House today by a 146-5 vote.

His transgression?

He beat the daylights out of a then-girlfriend for refusing to have sex with him.

Nice guy, huh?  Just the type of guy you would like your daughter to date and marry, right?

And guess who was arguing to keep him in office?

The anti-gun NAACP.

How shameful and disgusting.
