I was out on a lake the other day still trying to find my lost firearms that sunk with my boat. Funny, I thought I saw another Freeper there looking for his too.

Think that might have been me. Shame I lost the boat too.

“....save just one life.” I feel for the grieving father who said that, but I’ve always detested that language. No, sir.....shredding the Constitution to save one life is not a trade I’m willing to make.

...local and federal officials called on citizens across the country to form a coalition large enough to battle the powerful gun lobby.


By definition that is astroturf.

Leftists will never recognize the real causes behind so-called “gun violence”.

And that’s 50+ years of liberal social policy.

But Alexis was following Joe The Clown Biden’s advice and bought a shotgun, totally legally and with a background check. You mean the gun grabbers are now going to outlaw shotguns? What will Jill Biden use for protection then? ...Oh yeah, that detail of taxpayer-funded Secret Service protection will probably take up the slack for the Veep and his Mrs.

“This gun culture and lack of conflict resolution skills also calls for an educational component,” Nardozzi said.

Nice little suggestion that the ignorant masses are in need of reeducation. Starting with the children.

Surprising somebody didn’t shout “Nobody’s coming to take away your guns!!”

I say we just ask them if they just want to take our guns and when they say yes we shoot them and end this push for tyranny.

“What makes the NRA strong is that they can mobilize tens of thousands of people on a dime,..”

Correction: “...can mobilize tens of thousands of gun owners at any time.” - best they remember.

A rhetorical question:

Why is there a "gun lobby", but no one in the kneepad media ever refers to the opposition as an "anti-gun lobby"?

Simply tell the “ If you don’t like our current gun laws, then change them by amending the constitution”

How come they never talk about the “gun control lobby”?

the Washington Naval Yard, site of the nation's latest mass shooting

Wasn't there another weekend of mayhem in Chicago this weekend?

One wonders how many of these politicians snort Coke, or ignore the deaths caused by deadly drugs in far greater numbers than those caused by sicko gunmen.

Such a pity that the mall shoppers in Nairobi were not skilled in conflict resolution skills.

U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., said mass shootings have become the new normal in the nation in the last few years, and the country had been too complacent.

A most ridiculous lie.

If mass shootings were the new normal, then there would be fewer solitary victims than victims of mass shooting events.

Obvious untruths in the pursuit of tyranny have the same reek as tyranny itself, regardless of stated motive.

A gaggle of fools and traitors. When are they going to realize that gun free zones are the same thing as target rich free fire zones? Bad guys will always be able to get guns, wherever they are at.
