Or else what- gun owners will vote Democrat? The 'Pubs take gun owners for granted because they know they can.

In every face to face conversation I have ever had with a Trump supporter since 2019, I was told that, "no one needs a machine gun", or "why do you want to own that kind of gun?". Just as an aside, here's my standard response to that sort of question: "Mainly, I need one ag...

Practically speaking, one doesn't vote for Trump- one votes against the Democrats. It's why for example a vote for the Libertarians is a protest vote that is either virtually useless or actually counter-productive. If the gun control crowd had their way completely anything with a removable magazine ...

I would like to see almost any Republican other than Trump as president, but the fact is that Trump carries a huge base devoted personally to him. The 'Pubs have tried and failed to find a candidate with his appeal. Given that, Trump is still (barely) the lesser of two evils compared to the 'Dems an...

Account inactive since 2016, now posting again as of Jul 19. Prodigal son, or new poster using the account?

Gun rights has always been an orphan issue politically because it's a populist, libertarian issue; it's fundamentally about the government having less power and control, while government is inherently all about having power and control. For decades gun owners have had to choose between Democrats who...

Maybe that would be the point? Ban everything but the weakest and feeblest fudd guns.

Someone has to handle untaxed cigarette and liquor smuggling...

This is encouraging, although the Vice-President is in very little position to either make or administer law.

But now they want to ban tactical training, and probably "military-grade" weapons while they're at it.

The very idea that there should be logically fair, neutral and consistant rules that occasionally mean one will...

If you want a Conservative's perspective on what the Bill of Rights means to the Left, read Jason Lewis' July 8, 2024 Newsletter article Here: https://alphanews.org/jason-lewis-radical-democrats-regard-the-bill-of-rights-as-a-nuisance/ Heck, if you want a pro-gun liberal's * perspective on ...

Apparently the Secret Service detail wasn't large enough to cover the entire area, and concentrated on Trump's immediate surroundings while coordinating with state and local law enforcement to secure the larger area. Which somehow was not done. The locals screwed up, and the Secret Service screwed u...

Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md. introduced the “Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act,” aiming to federally prohibit private militia activity. All 50 states have laws prohibiting unauthorized groups from engaging in activities reserved for the state militia, but the prop...

Another public appearance tonight; if he flubs this, he's history.

As always, looking forward to it.
