Bloomberg’s Super Bowl anti-gun ad lies about child gun deaths and calls a 20-yr old reported gang member a child victim of gun violence. All gun control is based on lies.
@GovMLG
Here's a plan that works.
1. Arrest criminals.
2. Charge them with crimes.
3. Do not release them from jail
4. Build more jails.
5. Do not put additional restrictions on people just because they own guns.
I’m amazed when a gunny says Trump hasn’t done anything for gunowners. Clueless. How’s 187 federal judges and 2 Supreme Court justices? Plus export reforms, removal of the $2250 annual fee for gunsmiths, etc. He’s not perfect, but he’s the best I’ve seen in 50 years.
Wells Fargo CEO: “I do not believe that the American public wants banks to decide which legal products consumers can and cannot buy.” Turns back teacher union call to drop gun industry accounts.
Fact: The AR-15 rifle is the best home protection firearm. Power, capacity, ease of use, and less penetration of walls than handgun rounds, in almost all cases. Yes. I’ve shot a lot of ammo through a lot of walls. Not theory. Actual testing.
As the holiday shopping season progresses, I continue my commitment to never set foot in a Dick’s Sporting Goods store. They threw gun owners under the bus with their AR15 virtue signaling. I got the signal that they don’t want my business. 👍
@KeithOlbermann
Reading really isn’t that hard. “Keep and bear” means “own and carry.” So, yes, the Constitution guarantees (not “grants”) the right to own guns. That you can’t understand this simple concept is a bit concerning.
@DaveVescio
What would I say? Perhaps, "That's a good start." Many competitive shooters I know shoot 30,000 to 50,000 rounds of ammunition a year in practice. Having only 10,000 rounds would be cause for concern.
VIRGINIA: Every gun owner now has an immediate task. Thank each person who voted to table this bill. Promise every person who voted for this ban that you and we will be watching them and will work to elect someone who runs against them. And that we have long memories. Do it today
The Bill Of Rights is not a list of permissions. It’s a rundown of restrictions on government. THESE THINGS THE GOVERNMENT CAN NOT DO. It doesn’t “grant’ rights. It blocks the govt. from certain areas and actions. Teach your children and grandchildren (and friends).
There are only two types of people who will bring a gun into a church.
1. Bad people
2. Good people.
You can stop only one of those groups from bringing guns into the church.
The bump stock decision is radical, even for this Supreme Court. This Supreme Court is now on record as the Court which has guaranteed because of their extremism that more Americans will die from gun violence. They have also guaranteed that the talk of violence by MAGA, will
Biden: "The Second Amendment, from the day it was passed, limited the type of people who could own a gun and what type of weapon you could own. You couldn't buy a cannon." Wrong. You could actually buy a WAR SHIP!
This is the Winchester Model 100. My first deer rifle. Semi-auto. .308 Winchester. Much more powerful than the .223/556 round most AR-15s use. Detachable magazine. I was 11 years old. Yes. Deer hunters use semi-auto rifles, including the AR-15.
From a friend: "As I dropped off my Freshman son at Montana State, he carried his hunting rifle, AR and a shotgun into the dorm and checked them in with the dorm staff. Other kids were doing the same. The look on some of the other parents' face was worth the tuition." :)
#WhyICarry
Because I am the First Responder for myself and my family. Courts have ruled that the police have no duty to protect anyone. I take it seriously. I get recurrent training. I practice. Why do I carry? Because I love my family.
BREAKING! New ban on semi-autos introduced in Congress. Gun Banners line up to cheer. From the news release, here are a few things this ban would do. Note number 4.
Re. The death of Chevron deference. Those saying only agencies have the scientific expertise to understand the subject matter…The ATF redefined a chunk of plastic as a machine gun. 🙄
Actually, saving many lives, as this man did, is exactly what the Second Amendment is about. Denouncing this heroic action in order to advance you cultish ideology is sick.
How to answer the "Why do you need 100 rounds" challenge. If the government can say 100 rounds is too many, it can say that 10, 5, or 1 is too many. Never give in.
I'm glad to hear folks using the phrase I started. "Gun Ban Lobby." Much better than calling them gun control groups, or as they would like to claim, "Gun Safety" groups. Riiiight. They have never taught a single gun safety case.
#gunbanlobby
Call 'em what they are.
Firearms history for those who think semi-autos are new. 60 years ago in November I shot my first deer with a semi-auto rifle chambered in .308 Winchester -- a much more powerful cartridge than the one commonly in the AR-15. Detachable magazine. Winchester Model 100.
Why we don’t rely on cops to decide our rights. One sheriff on Constitutional Carry. “This is a win for the criminals, who can now walk around with a gun and law enforcement cannot do anything about it.”
Denver mayor: “I know of no decent hunter who would go deer hunting with a semi-automatic weapon.”
ME: 1962. Age 11. Semi-auto .308 Winchester. First deer. One shot.
"As long as there is a Hornady at Hornady, we will never sell Walmart direct. They don’t support our industry." - Jason Hornady, 2007
Hornady stopped doing business with the world's largest retailer over 12 years ago.
They wanted only the machine guns. Then they wanted only mail-order guns. Then they wanted only cheap handguns.Then they wanted only “sniper rifles.” Then they wanted only “assault weapons.” Then they wanted only all semi-automatics. Why don’t we believe them?
#THEYWANTALLTHEGUNS
Indiana gun stores! Governor Eric Holcomb issued Executive Order 20-08. This “Stay at Home” order explicitly exempts “firearm and ammunition suppliers and retailers for purposes of safety and security.” If your store is told to close, contact NSSF.
Re: Lobby Day in Virginia this Monday. It is not about statues, or flags, or race. If those are your issues, kindly stay away. This is about the Second Amendment. Lobby Day has always been peaceful. Don't let anyone change that.
With 20 million people having carry permits, and 21 states which no longer require a permit to legally carry a gun for protection, it seems that it’s time for a change in police training.
Just seeing someone with a gun can not be justification for shooting that person.
FLORIDA ALERT! On July 1 Florida’s Permitless Carry law goes into effect. Be warned! Thousands of criminals have been patiently waiting for permission, so they don’t violate a gun law, and they will suddenly rampage the populace. For more scary details consult any gun ban
Gov reports 240 school shootings. "But NPR reached out to every one of those schools repeatedly over the course of three months and found that more than two-thirds of these reported incidents never happened"
A couple is suing Walmart for not providing security. Let's get this straight. No one has a duty to protect you. Not Walmart. Not the police. Not the government. You are your own First Responder. You are your family's First Responder. Counting on anyone else is pure folly.
Remember history: “We will send armed men and armored vehicles to take your guns over a $200 tax. If you resist, we will kill you and all the children.” The lesson of Waco and Dem. AG Janet Reno. Ruby Ridge: “Shoot On Sight” orders. Does Beto understand this?

“This completely unregulated tool of mass violence isn’t used by law-abiding gun owners for hunting,” Schweyer said, --- WRONG on both counts. Highly regulated, and used by many hunters. Schweyer is a fool, and maybe a liar.
My random thoughts. You SHOULD own at least one AR-15 rifle. You SHOULD own dozens of magazines. Those magazines SHOULD be loaded with ammo. Have some cash. (We call it “hurricane money”). You SHOULD practice with that rifle at ranges from 3 feet to 300 yards. YMMV.
Here's your regular reminder. The police have NO legal duty to protect you. They are not required to respond. Counting on them is childish and foolish. You are on your own. Assume that NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE YOU OR YOUR FAMILY. Not preparing is irresponsible. Please RT.
For those who say they can't imagine walking around near people who are carrying guns ... In most of the country, you already are. Weekly, if not daily. Women and men. You just don't know it. Why? Because it's not a problem. Your fear is rooted in ignorance.
1. All guns are always loaded.
2. Never let the muzzle cover anything which you are not willing to destroy.
3. Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
4. Always be sure of your target and beyond.
An idea from a listener for those at the NRA Annual Meetings. Write on all credit card slips "I AM the NRA" Reminding everyone that we are polite, reasonable people spending money. I like it.
It *might* be possible to be more ignorant and wrong about the Second Amendment, but I don’t know how. — “The 2nd Amendment is an 18th century relic. Kansas and US lawmakers need to repeal it”.
BREAKING! 9th Circuit rules that bans on STANDARD (what they call large or high) capacity magazines violates the Second Amendment. I haven't seen the ruling, but I'm working on it now. Details later.
OK. It's time. Let's drop the silly "AR-style rifle" and just call it what it is. A rifle. It's a design more than 50 years old. It's an action type more than 100 years old. It's a rifle. A popular, common, ordinary, regular, ergonomic, lightweight "rifle." That is all.
I had a well-known gun influencer/trainer ask for my endorsement for him running for the NRA board. I asked, "Will you immediately call for a vote of no confidence for Wayne?" No answer. Now I see him posting photos of himself with WLP. Nope. Not gonna do it.
Hey ANTIFA. Ripping open someone's car door could be considered to be carjacking. In many states, lethal force is legal to stop a carjacking. Just something to think of as you plan your activities. You may not be in control of the situation. 20+ million carry legally. Careful.
Ammo prices have never been lower. Are you buying? I suggest buying 500 to 1,000 rounds of something each month. 22 rimfire, 9mm, 5.56, or SOMETHING! Those crazy times when you can't find ammo will return. We just don't know when.
Constitutional Carry is flying through the Louisiana Legislature. The Governor will sign it. Barring something strange happening, this is a done deal. Congratulations to Louisiana Stooting Association, the little group that has been getting it done for many years. 👍.
TX Gov. Abbot: 18-yr olds have been able to legally buy long guns for 60 years. MSNBC commentator: But we haven't had "assault rifles" for 60 years! That's a recent development. 🙄 1959 for the AR-15 design. 1936 for the (semi-auto) M1 Garand.
Did WaPo really write and publish such a detailed article on the Sutherland Springs mass murder and not mention Stephen Willeford, who stopped it with his AR-15?
When someone says "There are too many guns," ask how many is the right number. Keep pushing. Some will be honest and say "zero." But no one wants to take away your guns, right?

Just got a call from a friend in Oregon. He said local gun stores plan to go out of business when Measure 114 goes into effect. It will simply end gun sales. Looking for the courts to stop this madness.
2021 marks another year when I did not set foot in a
@dicks
sporting goods store. Their track record is actively anti-gun. Here’s promising to maintain my pledge to spend money at other stores.
Ha! Fox and Friends gets surprised by Jerry Wayne, the man who confronted Biden. Wayne was smart, articulate, thoughtful. Jerry, you rocked it! Great interview. 👍
Justice Thomas: “We know of no other constitutional right that an individual may exercise only after demonstrating to government officers some special need.” 👍
1. All guns are always loaded. 2. Never point a gun at anything you don’t want to destroy. 3. Keep your finger off the trigger until the sights are on the target and you have decided to shoot. 4. Know your target and what’s behind it.
When you think you are clever and mock the “demise” of a gun company. Only to learn closing an old and inefficient plant allows them to move all operations to a larger, modern plant, so they can MAKE MORE GUNS. 🙄😂
Constitutional carry bill coming to Louisiana. I'm hearing from a few CCW instructors who want to oppose it. Is this a case of letting your financial interest push aside your commitment to the Second Amendment? Having to get a permit to exercise a right is just wrong.
BIG NEWS! Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc. announced today that it is moving its headquarters and significant elements of its operations to Maryville, Tennessee in 2023. Smith & Wesson has been based in Springfield, Massachusetts since the company was incorporated in 1852.
I wish it were not the case, but I no longer consider ANY Democrat when voting. Watching the Kavanaugh debacle solidified this. Midterms are coming. Commit to voting, donating, volunteering. Or let Pelosi drive the agenda. Saddle up!
I get it. It's difficult to admit that you have been duped into thinking that murder is up, that there is an "epidemic of gun violence," and that AR15s are a major factor in crime. When you find out those are all lies, you feel betrayed. It takes courage to admit you were wrong.
