Is This True??
All this GOA hyperbole is going to end up hurting our gun rights more than it helps.
Listening to the radio, Jerry Doyle, on the drive home from work today.
A great audio clip, from the man himself....spoken with such passion...
....From my cold, dead hands....
Made my day.
I’m so surprised these strident pro military members would do such a thing.
This is a slap in the face of every veteran. Veterans should rise up and yell loud enough for our Congress in DC to hear, “HELL NO YOU DON’T!”
I’ll join them.

"Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?"-Patrick Henry
I have heard, maybe an Urban Legend, that the VA will notify the BATF if a veteran says he is depressed. At first I blew it off as B/S, but when my VA doc asked me if I was "depressed", alarm bells went off.
We have over 20,000 gun laws on the books in this country today, and not a single one will prevent the next crime of murder, robbery or rape.

Let’s look at our British cousins for the very reasons that the assault on individual ownership of firearms is as wrong as it gets. I don’t know when they did it but, for the sake of argument, let’s say that 10 years ago, the British government banned private ownership of guns. Since that time, the number of gun crimes in Britain has skyrocketed because criminals (AKA “outlaws”) DON’T obey the law (Give me a “Duh!!”). To add insult to injury, the British government also thought it would be a smart move to bring charges against those who try to defend themselves, their families or their property from thieves!!! IOW, this is the ultimate weeny capitulation to the law breakers.
The result is that the law breakers are winning and the law abiding people are losing . . . . . . . . in SPADES!!!!! Britain, this year, has reported the largest exodus of citizens at any time in recent history. Between Islamofascists and law breakers, the average Brit has no chance of winning this ideological battle.
So, they’re headed elsewhere.
The left in the US know that as soon as they win the battle over private gun ownership, we lose the balance of power and they can do what they want to force their view of government control/ownership of everything upon us. As long as there is a balance of power between the weapons the government owns and the weapons the citizens owns, the left still has to accommodate the demands of the people. If we ever lose this battle with the left, America is lost forever, and we will be joining those ex-pat Brits looking for someplace else to live where sanity is not the exception to the rule.
Carolyn McCarthy is a dumb hausfrau who unfortunately represents my childhood congressional district, once held by the great Norman Lent.
