Personally, I’ve never been insulted by the term “gun nut”–hey, if the shoe fits, I’ll wear it till the leather runs out–but I won’t argue that it was originally coined to try to shame those of us who incorporate guns into our daily lives. One of the long-standing cultural tropes we see in the anti-gun…
In a remarkable twist that’s already electrifying Creepy Uncle Joe Biden‘s race for the Democratic nomination, we here at Freedom’s Lodge have secured the very first interview with the anti-gun former senator’s brand-new press secretary: Cash Me Outside Girl. This remarkable young woman sprang to stardom with her debut interview on Dr. Phil–quickly capturing a…
It’s the morning after the Super Tuesday primaries, and the candidates can go Hump Day themselves. Ah, Super Tuesday, the day when American supporters of the opposition party go and decide which of the anti-gun candidates they want to put against the sitting president in the upcoming 2020 presidential elections. It’s a perfect time for…
A new Department of Justice study proves that “crime guns” just don’t come from gun shows. Period. The Department of Justice recently ran a study that did something unique, remarkable, and unprecedented in the annals of federal-government studies: They actually asked the criminals where they get their guns. Then they had the courage to actually…
Boy howdy, anti-gunners love “red flag” laws like a fat kid loves cake… Anti-gunners are like teenage girls in a lot of ways; in addition to their penchant for hysterical squeals that test the upper limits of human hearing, they’re very into trends. Some seasons they’re all into “Saturday Night Specials.” Some seasons it’s all…
In one of the most hilarious developments we’ve seen since Biden offered the nation’s women a self-defense lesson, it’s recently come to light that anti-gun leading light and presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg has to pay people to say they like him. No, really; he’s paying social-media influencers to post pro-Bloomie memes…just like that one obnoxious…
Is there anything more disturbing than when an anti-gunner‘s “mask of sanity” slips? If you’ve never heard the term “mask of sanity,” it was coined back in 1941 when a clinical psychiatrist tried to describe the public face that psychopaths use to hide the chaos behind their eyes–and although the terms and definitions have changed…
In a tremendous coup for Freedom’s Lodge, we’ve secured an exclusive interview with Dog Face Pony Soldier–whom, up until now, has been a figure shrouded in mystery, wrapped in an enigma, and dipped into a cold, creamy cup of WTF. When the world was introduced to Dog Face Pony Soldier, pundits everywhere were confused…who is…
Let’s bow our heads in gratitude that none of us have to wash these idiots’ skivvies, hey? Anti-gunners love to accuse pro-2A folks of being irrationally resistant to the anti-gunners’ so-called “common sense gun control measures,” but (as usual) it’s just another case of projection. We’ve all had a pretty good look at what they…
If you’re curious about the “Metamorphosis” the anti-gunners are planning for our Second Amendment, look to the Left Coast. For decades, the gun owners of California have been warning the rest of us that what has been done (and is still being done) to them isn’t just their bad luck, but rather a harbinger of…
“Of course we should ban guns. Look what happens when you put one in my hands!” I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Gun-banners hate gun safety, and the reason why is pure projection. If you’re not familiar, “projection” is a psychological term used to describe an extremely maladaptive defense strategy: Essentially, one…
A wise man once said: There are lies, damn lies, and mainstream American journalism. If you’ve ever wondered how otherwise relatively intelligent people can get caught up in a wave of anti-gun hysteria, look no further than the magnificent failure that is modern mainstream media. Most Americans are busy people; we have jobs, families, hobbies,…
