Awaken another sleeper cell. Shoot up a pre-school.


Never allow a good tragedy to go to waste....Rahm Emanuel.

Boxer, Feinstein, Bloomberg, Lautenberg, Soros etc......All are relatively recent only 1-2 generations ago immigrants with Russian, eastern European heritage that are now attempting to use their vast wealth and power to change two+ centuries of USA gun culture. Many Americans who oppose this have 200-400 years of family USA heritage. Google them and others.

So, who are the 46 Nazis and when will the Hangings begin?

If they hold up for a day or two, I should be able to catch a Flight to D.C. to Witness the executions.

The only way to stop Gun Violence is using another Gun.

What some people fail to realize is that there was less gun violence when everyone had the family rifle loaded and hanging over the door to use at any moment.

There are fewer repeat offenders when you defend yourself against someone trying to use a gun in violence against you.

When I was a kid, you could order a Rifle from an Ad in the back of a Magazine. At eight years old, I owned a .22 Rifle and a .410 Shotgun. They were given to me by my Father, and I kept them in my Closet.

Back in the 50’s hen we lived in Long Island, New York, my Brother used to carry his .22 Rifle to Middle School when he was in the Gun Club. They had a Range in the Basement.

When Guns were looked upon as a tool, they weren’t feared unless they were in a Criminal’s hands. Nowadays, Libtards think Guns are Living Objects with a mind of their own.

Funny how I have owned many guns over the past 50+ Years, yet I have managed to Kill one less Person than Ted Kennedy did using his Oldsmobile.

You can’t reason with a liberal.

In what universe did Pat Toomey think that this was going to end well for himself? If it passed he wasn’t going to gain any votes from the gun grabbing crowd, who hate Republicans for a multitude of reasons. And he’d be forever portrayed as a traitor by the conservative Pennsylvanians who elected him. Now that his bill has been defeated, he just looks like a useful idiot for the Democrats. His 15 minutes of fame and dinner with Obama will never be worth the damage to his credibility.

I wonder if Sarah Palin regrets supporting gun grabbing McCain in the primary.

List all 14 amendments and if you click through the links under the column labeled ‘question’ then on the link labeled: ‘Record Vote Number: xxx’ you can see exactly who and how the vote ended.

For example: Click on “On the Amendment S.Amdt. 711” which happens to be Feinstein’s assault weapons ban, then on the link: “Record Vote Number: 101.” you will see the actual votes by Senator.
