“I think you’re a rebellious bunch, but let’s be rebellious and vote this time.” Let’s face it: We gun owners are actually very diverse. That doesn’t just mean that the gun-owning demographic spans race, sex, and creed (although it does). It means that we enjoy a wide diversity of thought. There are very few absolutes…
“These poor souls… are looking for some answers,” Rep. Pelosi said. “We’ve given them to them, but they’re blocked by some of their views on guns…” Isn’t it sad, my fellow poor unfortunate souls, that it took so long for an anti-gunner to figure out what’s wrong with us? Here we were, all this time, clinging…
Have you ever wondered if anti-gunners are secretly hoping to make life safer for burglars, muggers, rapists, and murderers? Wonder no longer! It’s a dreadfully cynical prospect to contemplate, but if you’re not cynical about the motives of gun-banners, then you simply haven’t been paying attention. The anti-gunners haven’t tried to hide their violent fantasies…
Sit down, kiddos, while I GenerationXplain some things … If you’re one of those little whippersnappers born after the turn of the millennium, then chances are Ronald Reagan is little more than a name to you. But to us Olds, Reagan was the man who (seemingly single-handedly) walked America away from the crime, stagflation and…
SHHH! Seattle Democrats’ precious prize piggie is coming to town on May 5, 2024! Washington State Democrats are in a bit of a tight spot. Their anti-gun, anti-police machinations have resulted in skyrocketing crime and spiraling inner cities, and their constituents have noticed. They’re hoping to fill their war chests before the 2024 elections, and…
And now they’re all out of ideas. Lucky for them, the proletariats have some! One of the unintentional hilarities of socialism is that, for a philosophy that purports to level out social and economic classes, it sure does produce a huge disparity between the elites and the lumpenproles. The District of Columbia is a perfect…
Want to get paid big taxpayer bucks to do literally nothing except give whiny quotes to the mainstream media? If you were born without a conscience, work ethic, or shame, have I ever got a career track for you: “gun violence taskforce” consultant. Don’t worry, there are no degree or experience requirements. In fact, the…
Let’s get this part out of the way right now: Most Americans would be okay with this if due process were being honored. It’s not. Most Americans, even those of us who understand that the Second Amendment protects an absolute right, also understand that under certain extreme circumstances those rights can be legally limited. Emphasis…
America’s dumbest preschool teacher is at it again … There are few things funnier than watching Kamala Harris lecture a crowd about any topic. (“Wait until you guys see the moon. I’m telling you. I just, I don’t know what it is about those craters on the moon.”) However, the laughs get rather bitter when…
Two months ago, the Second Amendment Foundation asked a simple question: Why shouldn’t medical cannabis patients be allowed to own guns? As we reported in our sister publication, Guns & Gadgets Daily, SAF recently filed a federal lawsuit in support of medical cannabis patients’ Second Amendment rights. The current state of Federal law, as readers…
Paging Dr. Jill Biden: Code Brown. Repeat, this is a Code Brown. Isn’t it wonderful when the metaphorical truth and the literal truth come together for a single, diamond-hard moment of pure intellectual joy? That’s what happened at the State of the Union address last week, when both ends of Joe Biden’s alimentary canal opened…
Fire up the Dysphemism Treadmill, because Ohio’s Willis Blackshear wants to take this one for a jog … When will people learn that descriptive names will never stick unless they accurately describe the thing? For example, years ago, I started referring to souped-up street-racing Hondas as “fartbuckets.” Despite this, somehow, Car & Driver magazine hasn’t…
