People Can’T Fight A Tyrannical Government Nor Do They Have The Right To

Sorry Beto Robert, you do not understand the basic facts.

2A Sanctuary County

Tue, 09/24/2019 - 08:59

Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds is moving forward on a “Sanctuary County” proposal that states the Hood County Sheriff’s Office will not enforce any new state or federal gun law that infringes on the right to bear arms.

“People are scared. They don’t want to lose their rights,” Sheriff Deeds said. “They have the right to protect themselves and we’re going to make sure that they keep that right to keep and bear arms and protect themselves.”

Liars & Gun Control Supporters (But I Repeat Myself)

Thu, 09/12/2019 - 10:38

These are so common they should be an FAQ.

“Nobody wants to take away your guns.”

How you lie to yourselves:

This huge list of people http://thewriterinblack.blogspot.com/2014/09/nobody-wants-to-take-your-guns.html want to take away our guns. You can’t claim it’s only rhetoric. You can’t claim it doesn’t matter. You can’t claim it’s a fabrication or “out of context.” They have stated so, repeatedly, in public. Anyone repeating “no one wants to take away your guns” is deluding themselves into a false moral high ground.

If you are one of these people, knowing this, you have a couple of choices: Contact all the above people and express your objections, or admit that you’re okay with people taking away our guns. In which case, you’re lying to us, too.

I love the way Michael Z. Williamson breaks it down. Read the rest of the article: http://www.michaelzwilliamson.com/blog/index.php?itemid=270

H.R.1263

Details are slim on this one — so far just the title has been released. But that is scary enough…

Ugly And Proud

Tue, 02/19/2019 - 09:56

H&P Manufacturing produces a suppressor that is literally called the “Ugly Suppressor” and honestly, it really is. However, there is a lot of science that went into their design as can be noted by the different flow path that the hot gasses are forced to take. The basic idea that most suppressors function off of is to slow down and cool the hot gasses exiting the muzzle of a gun in order to slow their rapid expansion which leads to the “bang” that is heard. This suppressor design also allows the overall length of the gun to remain shorter than with a conventional suppressor.

Gun Control Coming

Thu, 11/15/2018 - 00:45

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who plans to return as Speaker in the next Congress, declared Thursday that gun control will be a priority under the newly elected Democratic majority.

“I do believe, because in this Congress…there is bipartisan legislation to have common sense background checks to prevent guns going into the wrong hands. It doesn’t cover everything, but it will save many lives,” Pelosi said on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time” as the nation grapples with its latest mass shooting.

“This will be a priority for us going into the next Congress,” she added.

Be Regular

Mon, 10/29/2018 - 12:34

Sometimes it is the most simple of advice about hunting that turns out to have the most sage. This simple commentary came from a hunter’s grandfather when the campfire question arose about how these trophy buck hunters always seem to score nearly every season. His answer was a remarkably easy answer. Just “go regular.”

Really enjoyed Dr. Woods’ article here. Give it a read: https://www.alloutdoor.com/2018/10/29/go-hunt-regular/
