Joe Biden’s had a lot on his plate. First, he erased America’s immigration laws by order government employees not to enforce them. Then he destroyed the economy by attacking the oil and gas that are essential for modern life. After that, he sowed some racial discord. Next, he insulted our only ally in the Middle East while sucking up to “Death to America” Iran. SNIP On Thursday, the New York Times bent its efforts to the task via a Gail Collins column that starts to “nag” Biden about gun control: You may be wondering how we’re doing on gun control....

Houston, TX — A Houston sheriff's deputy is under investigation after video shows him pulling a gun on a driver and threatening to kill him. The driver says traffic forced him to stop suddenly while the deputy was driving on a motorcycle behind him.

The New York Times has buried numerous important and relevant pieces of information in its latest high-profile story regarding the shooting death of Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt. The Times’ story seems to intentionally shrouds the mysterious circumstances surrounding Babbitt’s death to protect a trio of unknown, shadowy or radical figures who were involved in the fatal incident. ----SNIP---- Despite the extraordinary video, conveniently captured by an Antifa-supporting activist named John Sullivan, there have been very few attempts by major media outlets to dissect what really happened with the shooting of the Trump supporter

On January 6th, 2021, Ashli Elizabeth Babbitt was executed by a Capitol Police Officer who seemed to hold no restraint. 50 days later, the Capitol Police Officer responsible has been identified in photos before and during the shooting. The Police Lieutenant’s name is being withheld from Ashli Babbit’s attorneys. This is the Officer responsible for using excessive force and executing Ashli Babbitt. Before killing Ashli, the Officer is seen aiming his firearm at fellow colleagues. You can see the Officer disregards nearly every basic firearm safety rule in the book. His finger is wrapped around the trigger, while his firearm...

President Joe Biden is reportedly considering “every tool” at his disposal to crack down on Second Amendment rights as left-wing activists are pushing him to deal with the issue of gun violence by declaring a national emergency and using executive orders. “Among the executive actions under consideration by the administration is one that would require buyers of so-called ghost guns — homemade or makeshift firearms that lack serial numbers — to undergo background checks,” Politico reported. A White House official told Politico that Biden was considering “every tool at our disposal, including executive actions” to crack down on the Second...

As the Crime Prevention Research Center has pointed out many times, television crime shows seem to think criminals are constantly using machine guns to commit crime. This episode of NBC’s Blacklist (Season 8, Episode 1, November 13, 2020) starts off with a machine gun being used to break a federal witness out of federal protection. In real life, criminals generally use machine guns so rarely that a 2016 survey of prison inmates only broke down the numbers for uses in crime of handguns (11.2%), rifles (0.8%), and shotguns (1.1%). There are few rifles, and the survey did not even mention...

I don't want to know how much ammo you have, rather general ideas as to how much ammo think they should have on hand to feel comfortable for each type of gun? Especially with a trend towards potential anti-gun legislation. Ex:.38 revolver and recommend 500 rounds or AR15 5.56 and 1,000 rounds.

Forty states have laws that prohibit the seizure of guns during emergencies, six states have laws that allow such seizures, and four states and the District of Columbia have no such laws on the books. These laws largely passed in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, which made landfall on August 29, 2005.

MSNBC All In host and esteemed beta male Chris Hayes smeared Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO) on Tuesday night because she dared to display her guns as decorations during a virtual congressional hearing.

He also suggested all in the GOP were “now signaling they retain the right to use violence to overthrow the government at any time.” In teasing the pathetic segment, Hayes flashed an image of Boebert and her background, which featured two...
