    Even FOX news is letting anti-stuff get through unchallenged!

    I know we see stuff like this all the time ... but this is just so blatant it makes me crazy: Historic Low in NYC, Chicago Homicides First of all ... it's great that these cities have reduced homicides. But that they give credit to new gun laws ... isn't it interesting that they are still...

    The NRA defends the shooting of people for being "annoying!"

    An amazing stories. From the champions of truth and safety at gunguys.com Just a little something to roll your eyes up and hopefully get mad about on a Thursday afternoon: Yes! That's the kind of world we NRA members really want! A world where anybody can shoot anybody for any reason...

    Toy guns, kids, training, etc.

    In a separate thread about getting kids involved in guns/what age/etc. I got to thinking about toy guns. I'm sure there are going to be a lot of those under Christmas trees of posters this year. When I was a kid I had a lot of toy guns. We had a lot of fake gun battles, and while they never...

    Colo Springs church assault ended by armed citizen; not well covered in media!

    I'd like to see more details on this ... but from what I know of that church the "security" are basically the ushers and other men who arm themselves to protect the church. The church leaders may or may not know of it. I know of a couple of highly visible, conservative churches where the ushers...

    The .50 BMG -- a fear looking for a rationalization

    The Freedom States Alliance (FSA) has built a whole website on the fear of the .50 BMG rifle, giving it even the ability to shoot down aircraft or be used against concrete bunkers. 50 CALIBER TERROR So gunguys.com, part of FSA, had just loads of fun wetting their pants and screaming like...

    For College Students ... it's "open holster" week!

    Open Holster Week If you wanted a motivation to take part in this, read the gunguys.com drivel on it: gunguys.com idiocy For students and teachers over 21 who have taken the time to get trained and checked to carry a firearm? Hell yes. Very few students would pursue this, as if you're...

    The Rolling Stones -- Nugent isn't the only gun-toting rocker!

    Keith Richards, gunslinger A story about the Stones, probably in their early days before they could afford 24 hour armed protection. Not a good story to promote responsible gun ownership, but an interesting historical tidbit.

    CNN: Glen Beck vs. Anderson Cooper

    Has anyone been checking out Glen Beck recently? He's been fiercely pro gun, even promoting the ultimately non-politically correct idea (politically incorrect, even though it could save the lives of children) of teachers carrying guns on campus. Great stuff. Then Anderson Cooper on 360 has...

    HUNTING is RACIST!

    For me ... this article isn't really offensive so much as ridiculous. I'd almost think it were a parody site ... but sadly, there are people so mixed up in this country they actually think like this: Is Hunting Racist? Lots of funn stuff here: ROFLMAO! You know ... I've had several black...

    Need to raise your blood pressure, watch these anti-gun videos:

    This first one really got to me. Seems that Assault weapons were developed as a result of trench warfare, and fire bullets that can pierce doors and houses and many types of body armor (even though fully half those displayed fire pistol rounds, and most of the rest would fire the medium powered...

    Some hateful speech against NRA members

    The below is so hateful I just wanted to make sure everyone else could see what the other side is doing. I realize that the anti's have no logic to support them, so they have no choice but to deal with snide remarks and condescending and insulting arguments based strictly on emtion, but isn't...

    Need some help with a 1930's vingtage shotgun

    So I "inherited" my father's .410 shotgun (thankfully he is still alive; it's an early inheritance) that he received as a boy in the early 1930's. I have fired this shotgun quite a bit, but not since the early 1980's -- which was the last time anyone fired it. Anyway ... I can't remember what...

    My Yugo SKS doesn't cycle

    So last Friday I finally got out to the range with my Yugo SKS. I've actually had it for months, but just never go the cosmoline cleaned off until recently. First off I loaded in a single round (heard stories about slam fires, uncontrollable full auto, etc.) and sent it down range. Gun worked...

    How good is the Tasco Essentials 20-60x 60mm spotting scope?

    I know that the really serious high powered rifle shooters have like $800 spotting scopes. But if I wait to save up that much it will just never happen. Big 5 sporting goods has a 3 day sale goin on for the Tasco Essentials 20-60x zoom with 60mm objective lens reduced in price from $219 to...

    Women and guns ... FRUSTRATING!!!!

    I'm very proud that over the years I have convinced quite a number of anti's to at least see our side of the argument. I actually got a few shooting for the first time. Give me a couple of weeks as a friendly guest of the Brady's, and I'll have them both as lifetime members of the NRA. Except...

    Brady's talking about Delaware --- check it out!

    Brady's fighting CCW in Deleaware Some more beauties. Do they have no proof readers and/or anyone who's taken a class in logic? Yeah ... only people with felony convictions should have handguns. Which is kind of the effect of the laws they propose, though not the intent. Reading the...

    Beretta Tomcat -- Range Report and Questions

    So ... today I took my relatively new Beretta 3032 tomcat (.32 acp) back to the range for another semi discouraging session. When I bought it, this gun was almost everyting I wanted ... I wished it had more punch, but other than that it was small and has a manual safety. I figured this would...

    No homicides in Denver for weeks!

    Longest Period in Denver w/o a homicide since 1966 Pretty cool stat. Not that I think legal concealed carry is totally responsible, but it's absolute proof that legal CCW hasn't increased homicides. It's just empowered people to defend themselves. Of course, the latter is why some people...

    No suprising

    This article explains a lot. Explains why you can never get an anti to understand the basic facts of gun ownership/gun availabilty and self protection. Also explains a lot on the conservative side too, unfortunately. Maybe even a few things about myself. :eek:
