A Florida father had to use deadly force to defend himself and his 11 year old son from an early morning home invader this week. Just before 6:00am, Chris Bane heard glass breaking inside of his Sarasota home. He armed himself and went to investigate. According to My Fox Tampa Bay, “The burglar fired a shot and the homeowner returned fire, striking and killing the intruder,” said Wendy Rose, a spokesperson for the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office. “Apparently the homeowner has been the victim of burglary recently so he was on alert, he was on edge, and as soon as...

I have not seen it discussed in depth and just wonder what my fellow Freepers think about the 2016 presidential election if Hillary does not run due to Benghazi or any other reason. I'm not saying that she will not get the nomination, but if she does not who do you think might? It seems to me that the Dems do not have a very good field while the Repubs are looking much healthier due to the current crop of young, actually conservative gunslingers.

Here is the email I received this morning from the Brady Bunch. I love walking out to my old-fashioned gunshop in the morning and checking the email for gems like this. The bullet points really expose their true intent. "Dear Dana, I'm simply aghast! In a 2-1 decision in Parker v. District of Columbia, right-wing activist judges on a Federal Appeals Court recently overturned Washington D.C.'s long-standing restrictions on handguns based on their twisted view of the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution while ignoring more than 60 years of precedent — a decision that endangers America's gun laws coast-to-coast....

Dear Dana, The following histrionics are brought to you by the Brady Campaign via the emails that I receive from them: "Brady Gun Law Defense Fund [image]Last week, a Federal Appeals Court overturned Washington D.C.’s long-standing restrictions on handguns — a decision that endangers all of America’s gun laws. This case is most likely headed to the U.S. Supreme Court and we have a tidal wave of work to do before it gets there. This battle — to its very core — is the most important battle we have ever waged. We need your help today to build a strong...

Just caught the tailend of an interview by David Asman on FoxNews. I do not know what he did at the beginning of the interview, but he sure stuck it to some clown named John Cowan at the end of it. Asman challenged him with the fact that the amount of guns has gone up and that gun violence has gone down, and stated that there is a correlation between the two. When Asman mentioned 2.5 million self defense usages of guns the Anti countered with the tired old "that figure comes from a researcher who was funded by the ...

America is experiencing nothing less than a complete societal restructuring that bodes ill for the future. The number of households headed by women doubled in the period from 1970 to 1990. The number of unmarried, teenage mothers increased 500% in the thirty-seven year span from 1960 to 1997. The Decline of Males, written by Lionel Tiger, points out the above facts and many others, such as the increase in female reproductive control that occurred over the same time period. Tiger also addresses the changing educational and economic differences between the sexes. Young women now have a higher average educational level ...
