The P.O.P. Factor

"Just the facts, ma'am." More often than not, politically correct bullshit won't be found here. Pardon me while I exercise my 1st amendment right! I welcome all to my little world of bitches, moans, gripes and complaints, and sometimes, the downright freakin' odd. Take a seat and join me. I love a good story.

It Happened



Whodda thunk it?

Of the entire field of Presidential candidates, a non-politician was elected and no matter how much some people don't, can't, or won't accept it, it happened nonetheless. Suck it up, buttercups!
Brexit has spread and the people that were once the middle class, and are now struggling, have opted for serious change.

My Father, God rest his soul, no doubt would've voted for Trump. Trump's abstract intelligence and communication skills aside, he speaks his mind and is a very wealthy businessman. Dad was a perennial salesman and entrepreneur; owning/operating a number of different type businesses. I learned from him that a man's word is his bond and a handshake is a contract. The old man would never have voted for Hillary.

While a bit of a sexist, Dad was a cheerleader for only two women politicians; Condi Rice and Margaret Thatcher. He thought nothing of speaking his mind, referring to the rest of the women in politics as "stupid or dumb ass bitches" or the 'C' word. Hillary (and Pelosi for that matter) would've warranted the 'C' word.
Like I said, a sexist and I believe a selective one at that. A Republican to his core.

I myself don't understand how anyone could've voted for Hillary. Just because she's a woman? If Condi Rice had run for POTUS, Dad would have voted for her. I heard him say that after she left the GW administration.

I remember these things because Dad was vocal about his politics, as well as a Bill O'Reilly addict. The last person he voted for was Mitt (by mail) Prior to that, we're all pretty sure he hadn't voted since the Eisenhower administration.

But I digress...I just couldn't help thinking about him extensively during this election cycle.

While I've been voting since the Nixon era,  (yea, do the math) this one seemed like it was more than just ugly.
Politics is by no means a pretty game and, as often happens, horrible things suddenly crawl out from their deepest, darkest holes. Secrets and skeletons rise mysteriously from their crypts.
What did they dig up on Trump?
  • A recording from over 2 decades ago about grabbing a woman in the wrong place. He admitted it and apologized. Does that make him a sexist misogynist? I'm firm that's just not enough evidence to support that accusation.
  • Collusion with the Russians to alter the outcome of the election? That one can only be attributed to CNN. Even the hacking of the DNC hasn't truly been linked to the Russians.
  • Won't release his tax returns. Is it required under law for presidential candidates? Nope. Do we care? Nope. We already know he's rich.
  • Is Trump a racist because he wants to close our borders and enforce immigration laws? I'm all for controlling who comes in to our country. Terrorism has already hit here and unwanted deportees keep coming back only to cause some type of carnage. It's time that those who have been here illegally make an attempt to seek the path to citizenship. We need to prevent and deter further acts of terrorism.
  • Islamophobic? At this point, if you haven't thought about it, then you're a serious progressive who lives in Michael Moore's fantasy world. We should be afraid. Seriously afraid. CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood are certified terrorist organizations. Islamic terrorism is a real and dangerous threat. While we can't lump all who practice Islam in to one single category, it's a thin and precarious line. How do we sort through that mess? The answer is still not within our grasp, but Trump has made it clear that Immigration laws need to be enforced. A Muslim registry? Far fetched and an unlikely prospect. These are things that have to go through Congress. Trump is not a dictator, but our previous POTUS had his pen and phone and managed to 'dictate' via executive fiat on more than one occasion. Congress was full of pussies. Did all those rich and famous balk at Obama's dictates?  
  • Anti-Semite? That's seriously laughable. Hitler-esk? Hitler exterminated over a million Jews and convinced his country that it was in their best interest to follow him or die. His son in law, whom Trump obviously trusts, is Jewish and his daughter has converted to Judaism. For the first time in over 3 decades, a Rabbi gave a benediction at a Presidential Innaguration. Isolationist Revisionism? Why? Because he wants to put America first? How is that a bad thing?
Oh hell, I could write about this all day. I won't.
 
Now Hillary, on the other hand, has a very long list of reasons why she should not be President. Yet, the liberal left progressives who are so utterly tolerant that they tear cities apart, cannot see beyond their cosmetically altered noses. They gave a shit load of money to her campaign and that didn't do a hell of a lot to help her. She never actually outlined her plans for her administration. In fact, she appeared to be the queen of double talk. She would only be a continuation of Obama's legacy. The voters obviously wanted no more of that shit. Popular vote or electoral vote, it didn't matter. This country utilizes the electoral college for a reason and has done so for centuries. It only sucks when Democrats lose.
 
Those with all the money are trying to shame the average American for voting Trump. Who gives a shit what an over paid celebrity thinks? Actually, they're trying to tell you and me what we should do and how we should think. Isn't THAT Hilter's wonderful world of fascism? I firmly believe in the 1st Amendment and in ALL the rest of them, including that beautiful 2nd amendment.
 
So, if people want to protest, go ahead. Who cares? Just stop destroying property and spewing hate filled rants trying to ratchet up the violence to a whole new level.
 
If you want to label someone based on one incident, you're more narrow minded than you claim others to be. Remember who Hillary is, what she's done and who she married. She only stayed married to Billy Bob for political purposes. If he was my spouse, I would NOT have covered up his predatory ways nor would I have stayed married to his sorry, horny ass! Seems Huma didn't follow in her great leader's footsteps.
 
She is seriously corrupt, lied under oath, lied to the public about Benghazi, has been indifferent and turned a deaf ear to the average citizen of this country. Her actions over her private server bordered on treason and left her emails open for hacking. The entire DNC collapsed within itself due to so many undeniably disgusting facts coming forth. The chair of the DNC resigned over the scandal. Who in their right mind wants more of that? No, don't blame Hillary's loss on the Russians. They sunk their own boat and Hillary was the Captain.
 
I certainly can't say that Trump was the perfect candidate over Hillary. He was the ONLY candidate - unless you just wanted to waste your vote on Jill Stein. Yea, the one who had about 2% of the vote and wanted a recount. Obviously a Hillary supporter. Or, she was paid generously to make the accusation.
 
I don't know how long it's going to take for Trump haters to get past the fact that he's going to be here for awhile. Some of the serious celebrity agitators foresee Trump being impeached or just not making it through his 4 year term. Just for that, I hope he does and I hope that if he runs again, he's re-elected.
Screw all you nay sayers. The people have spoken and they didn't choose YOUR sorry candidate.
Don't scream Hitler unless you're looking in the mirror.

A Sea of Blue


I hold my head down in sadness and prayer. We are losing brothers and sisters in blue at an alarming rate. Who will stand up for the weak?

The world as we knew it is no more.

There are factions far more deadlier than the average thug on the street. Not to minimize our thugs, because they are becoming exceedingly dangerous too. Home grown terrorists and violent groups are looting, pillaging, destroying and killing, all in the name of some perceived threat against one person.








 In the minds of the violent and dangerous, the assassination of a group of people in the name of "justice" is a right. Putting aside the fact that 2 wrongs don't make a right, there is hatred and disgust for those who protect us every day.
The deafening voices of the many angry followers crying racism accusing our protectors of stereotyping. Yet, a certain group trained and dedicated in protecting the rights of all citizens are painted with the same brush. Isn't there a certain hypocrisy in that theory? Certainly there are bad people everywhere and in every group and they don't discriminate based on ethnicity, religion, sex, etc. We are not a perfect species and it's highly unlikely we ever will be.

Yep, the world is falling apart and there is plenty of blame to go around.

As a former law enforcement officer, I can say without a doubt that I have seen and experienced some of life's beautiful moments and some of life's wretchedness. I have been shot at (and missed), spat upon, assaulted, threatened and called by more vulgar names than you can imagine. Because I took an oath before I pinned on that badge, I endured it. No more.

Our world is changing rapidly. Throughout the decades law enforcement has gone from being the good guys to becoming the bad guys. Why? Who is to blame and how do we change it? Can it even be changed? With the continued threat to our country's security, we should all be thankful that there are people out there willing to risk their own lives in an effort to deter, apprehend and prosecute those that would threaten our way of life. But no, home grown terrorism, fueled by more hate and a twisted sense of justice that starts at the top, continues spreading its tentacles throughout our great country. Now our politicians want to literally handcuff police and take away the tools necessary to protect themselves and others. Are they serious? A softer image, you say? They're already afraid to do their jobs for fear of reprisals. They're being gunned down  in the streets and you want to take away all manner of defending themselves and others? In order to effectively perform their duties, they need all the right tools. They also need us, the citizenry, to watch their back by supporting them 100%.

There are those that would argue that America was never great. To you, I say, "How dare you?" Sure, she made mistakes along the way but she changed, recovered and moved on. Again, we are not a perfect species. However, if you do not like the democratic way of life that America provides you, I say, "Go away and find some place more suited to your needs."
Our way of life is threatened and terrorists, both here and abroad, despise us and all that we stand for.

These same politicians-you know, those folks who thought it would be really cool to stage a sit in in the house chamber-also want to make this all about gun control.


Terrorists are getting them. Oh, wait! Terrorists? In our country? No! The hell you say!
WAKE.THE. FUCK.UP! You left the door open, fools!

Those guys sitting on their asses want your guns. The guns we need to protect ourselves from the continued violence that the present administration seems to be egging on. There's a reason for the steady increase in gun sales. They will not get my guns. I will defend myself and I am thankful to live in a red state where the right to defend one's self and the right to bear arms is part of the state's Constitution.

I sit and ponder what our future holds. Will our warring factions allow for both the DNC and RNC to proceed with their party's particulars and nominations? Rumor has it that more chaos and rioting is planned in an effort to disrupt our political process. Do we need more anarchy, destruction and murder? How is it ok to do these things because you believe one particular candidate is a racist bully? The other candidate is a pathological liar and has blood on her hands. Is she any better? Ladies and Gentlemen, I have an announcement to make....
You know that jackass in the White House? He made us. A country is only as good as its leader and right now, our leader f'n sucks. He has done so much to screw up this country and has lied so much....the list is too long.

What's left for us to do? For one thing, let's settle down and stop the needless destruction and slaughter of innocents. Let us establish a dialogue that is not one sided and where one party doesn't shout down the other. Pointing fingers, blaming one side, and calling each other names solves nothing. Politicians need to step up to the plate and stop pandering and blaming before the facts are all in.  
Can the members of BLM stop and think? The more militant you become, the more you become a threat. #Alllivesmatter  #Bluelivesmattertoo

In my lifetime I have been witness to many tragic events. Some so memorable and devastating that I often wish I could wipe those terrible events from my memory. The wanton assassination of law enforcement officers is nothing short of horrific.

Take the time to thank the men and women who serve and protect you.
Were it not for them and their sacrifices, our country would be in a far worse state.

To my Brothers and Sisters who wear the badge upon their chest -




















May he watch over you

Everything That is Wrong is Right


I'm confused. That's kind of a regular state of mind at my age and not always an unwelcome state. Being confused can keep me from hurting my head by not thinking about all the whys and wherefores of our sad country.


Donald Trump is right. Certainly not a political diplomat, but he's right on so many levels. I sincerely doubt he will be elected our next President, but he sure is stirring the pot of controversy and making us think. He's saying what every politician is afraid to.

But this is not about Donald Trump. This is about my state of confusion. Confused that everything that is wrong with this country has now been accepted as right.

Do you remember when the IRS was a stand alone agency that couldn't be controlled by any one party? Now there's more than a smidgen of corruption and no one has been prosecuted or held accountable. It's accepted.

Do you remember when subpoenas from government committees and senate hearings were generally intimidating, bringing out fear and mostly the truth? Now no one cooperates and the truth is hidden by a corrupt administration. It's acceptable to lie to Congress.

Do you remember when Benghazi was all about a video when in fact it was preventable and lives were lost unnecessarily?  The cover up is immense and starts at the top. Yet, the truth is hidden, the administration refuses to cooperate and liberals everywhere scream witch hunt from the GOP.  But it's okay and accepted. There's nothing more to see here. Move along.

Do you remember when a thug was a a hoodlum, villain, gangster? Now they're heroes preaching violence, drug dealing and rape. If you don't believe otherwise, you're a racist.

Do you remember when looting, arson, vandalism were crimes? Now it's acceptable all in the name of criminals being killed by police. Police are now the enemy and it's literally heroic to assassinate a cop all because there's a perceived impression of racism and oppression against blacks. Just ask Obama. If he had a son, they would grow up to be just like them. Law enforcement should present a kinder, softer look and military equipment isn't necessary. Never mind the fact that people want to kill them and you don't want them to defend themselves. Dumb ass DiBlasio says let's eliminate stop & frisk. Watch the crime rate soar because cops are now afraid to do their jobs. Listen to people bitch about that. You can't have it both ways.

Do you remember when we could all make our own decisions about whether we needed to pay for health insurance? Obamacare was shoved down our throats with predictions from the opposition of skyrocketing costs, death panels, small businesses suffering negative financial effects and the promise repeated over and over again; "If you like your health insurance plan, you can keep it." That never materialized and yet, Obama's broken promise has long been forgotten by liberals. It's acceptable for him to use prosecutorial discretion, changing laws with impunity. He's not a President. He's a dictator and no one sees it? After all, to disagree with this President in any way is racist.

Do you remember when the 1st Amendment to the Consttitution, freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of religion was a widely accepted form of guaranteed right? That as citizens of this great country we were entitled to those inalienable rights? Not anymore.



Our government wants to censor what we say and how we report the news. They want us to come over to their way of thinking. People could and did voice their opinions about other religions, especially when people were willing to kill for it. Now, if we open our mouth about the wrongs of someone else's religion, we're at fault for the casualties because we "insulted" them. Yet, that is only a one way street. Now, there are people who want to repeal this Amendment and strip us of those rights. I'm confused. Isn't that wrong?

Do you remember the now controversial 2nd Amendment? The right to bear arms has been a part of our lives and history since before the Revolutionary war. We liberated ourselves from those nasty Redcoats, fighting against the oppression of an evil monarchy. In wars with other countries, civilians took up arms. Now that bad guys can get their hands on a gun some how or some way, the best thing to do is just outlaw guns. That'll fix everything, won't it? Go ahead, you wussies. Bring that knife to a gun fight.

Do you remember Fast & Furious? Our illustrious President sold guns to cartels? The anti gun leader of the free world thought they could arrest and dismantle the cartels by giving them arms. That backfired in the nastiest of ways. A Border Patrol agent died at the hands of the cartel while using Obama's gift.

Do you remember when we had the most powerful military in the world and we were feared by nations everywhere? Now this ungrateful administration thinks it's best to cut costs by eviscerating our military and their benefits. Never mind that we are now vulnerable to evil doers everywhere. Yes, GW was on to something there. All the more reason not to repeal our 2nd Amendment.

Do you remember when an illegal alien was just that? Illegal.



They just broke the law so we should waste no time in the deportation process. Like all the rest of the many millions who immigrated to this country, do it legally. Mexico undoubtedly wants to get rid of their drug lords, gun runners, and other dregs. There's no fence, no repercussions for crossing the border. Just claim amnesty and you're in. Never mind the fact that the crime rate will increase drastically in those sanctuary cities and they're a burden on our already overcrowded prisons and government hand outs. Don't forget, we are promising you that you can vote in our elections even if you're illegal. Seriously?

Do you remember all the scandals surrounding Hillary Clinton? Hell, there's so many I can't keep track. Never mind that she has lied under oath or has refused to testify. Never mind that her financial dealings are questionable (but they were broke when they left the White House) that the Benghazi fiasco is over and no longer makes a difference. Her emails were deleted and her servers were penetrable.
She announces her candidacy for President, yet won't speak to the press. If we don't vote or support her, we're sexist. It really doesn't matter if she's knee deep in all this muck. What's wrong is now right.

There's so many scandals surrounding our illustrious leaders. It's alright now because it would be racist to disagree and it's not Obama's fault.

 It's racist to fly that Confederate flag almost anywhere. It's racist to have a name like the Washington Redskins. Our controlling government tells the patent office to deny them the rights to that name because, well, they can.

Do we dare mention Gitmo and the release of known terrorists without the consent of Congress? It's an impeachable offense but do we dare start impeachment hearings? No-no. Can't do that. It's racist and too much of a political hot potato.

Beau Bergdahl was a war hero who served with honor and distinction? His fellow soldiers and the Army would disagree. Obama no doubt paid somebody and there's serious religious implications. That Marine held in Mexico....Obama stays silent.

Ft. Hood--act of terrorism or workplace violence?

Al Sharpton - racist charlatan or civil rights leader? Oh, please. Someone put this tax evader in jail once and for all. Oh, wait. He went to the White House. He's special and it would be racist to put him in jail. Is anything not racist?

So, Donald Trump has ditched political correctness in the name of what's right. He doesn't care if people perceive him as a racist or want to cut ties with his business ventures. He's not bowing to political correctness and the media is trying desperately to make him out to be a general nut case. The GOP is up in arms and accuse him of painting their party in an unfavorable light. The GOP has long ago painted themselves into a corner, and it sure ain't pretty.

The media....what happened there? They won't report the truth because it would be racist. Stick with only half truths and stories that fit their agenda. There is no true investigative reporting anymore. It's slanted and twisted, favoring their own liberal party--right or wrong.

Does anyone remember this country before Obama? When things were more right than wrong?

Hypocrite of the Century


Dublin, Ireland

I don't think there's any doubt in anyone's mind that Pres. Obama pissed off the Irish Catholics.
And some of those die hard Obama supporters say he was misinterpreted. HA!

Irish Parliament member Clare Daly goes on a take-no-breaths rant that addresses almost everything that the knowledgeable, eyes wide open, American people are concerned with in regards to the Obama administration.

She's right; Stupid ass liberals and the news media, have been pandering to the Obama aristocracy and it's quite evident that the Obama's fuckin' love it! They are pulling the purse strings of the American public and the feel-good-about-myself liberal folks think everything is just all wonderful with flowers and unicorns. In their consistent comparison of the Bush administration, they use creative brush strokes to skew the actual picture. Obama is not the Messiah. He is not the answer to our country's problems. In fact, he IS this country's problems and other countries are pointing their fingers, laughing at us. And what a frikkin joke we are! Remember, the American people elected him - TWICE!

PM Clare Daly minces no words when it comes to Obama and points out what some of us clear headed individuals already knew. Obama is a hypocrite and should be charged with war crimes.
While Obama's gun control back ground measures have failed, and as he continues to tug on the heart strings of America by trudging out the victims of the Newtown disaster, he is now supplying arms to the Syrian rebels. What has Syria done for us that we need to provide them with weapons? What have they done to other countries and other people? I'll give you a clue...it ain't good. These people hate us with such a passion that we would be lucky if they didn't turn on us with our own weapons. Does that story sound familiar?

IS OBAMA A WAR CRIMINAL?


Obama has done what all politicians do at some point in their political career and that is to LIE. He has misled the American people and he has lied to our allies, thumbing his nose at well established protocols and anchored relationships. It's a known fact that Obama is a political hack nobody, who was part of the corrupt Chicago machine, who came out of nowhere and became president. So now Obama uses his influence and, of course surrounds himself with more corrupt cronies. But ever so slowly, the truth is starting to reveal itself.
Naturally, now that he's a lame duck candidate, it's almost too late. We're stuck with him for 3 more years. And let's face it, Biden is no prince either. I'm not a prognosticator but I don't see another Nixon-Agnew situation occurring in the 21st century.

With the continuously growing list of scandals now hanging over his head, one can only hope that impeachment may be knocking at the door.

I Want my Country Back

I like to read a lot. I like fiction and I like facts. If I want fiction, I'll read a good mystery novel.
If I want facts, I'll read about our pathetic excuse for our government and its leaders. Sometimes in the world of politics, the line between fact and fiction is blurred. When I read things pertaining to our present government, from the Prez all the way down, I often times wish it were all fiction because the truth surrounding these clowns and their behavior, or lack of ethics is way too bizarre to be real. Can you imagine a reality show with some of these political hacks who are steadily driving our country in to ruin?

Our President's leadership skills and capabilities of running this government are slowly, but surely coming to light. Even former President Clinton, who never had sex with any woman other than Hilary, speaks of Obama with disdain. That says something. In fact, it says way too much.

Save for the fact that we see a great deal of these things floating around the net with some seriously bad grammar, this statement and the person who said it is true. Yes, Clinton did the pot-kettle thing.



Will the liberal news media now start reporting facts instead of the fluffed up filtered version that they did during Obama's first term in office? It's starting to look like it might happen. There's a litany of things that this corrupt Chicago crony either covered up or fucked up.
From bail outs, unemployment, Benghazi, IRS, illegal wire tapping, Verizon, etc...it's so difficult to believe that people actually re-elected this moron. (Once again supporting my belief that the 2012 election was rigged in Obama's favor.)

Scream racist at me all you want. Point a finger at me and call me a narrow minded conservative. I don't really care, for I am neither. I am an American who wants  my country back.
I want to be able to say the Pledge of Allegiance and fly the American flag in public schools without fear of offending anyone.
I want us to stop tip-toeing around Immigration reform for fear that other countries will think less of us. I don't give a rat's ass how the world sees us. We have continuously bailed out and fought wars for people all over the world.
I want my country to be feared and respected again.
I want people to stop living off the government teat and get a freakin job. I want there to be jobs.
Stop outsourcing, and stop giving jobs to illegals.
Stop shoving Obamacare down our throats. It's not working and it's not gonna.

Now that the media has gotten a taste of their 1st Amendment rights being disregarded by way of circumventing the 4th amendment, and the constant bickering about our 2nd Amendment, this country is slowly being eaten away from the inside. Our own racist (if you don't think so, you're not paying attention) President has shown his disdain for the Constitution and this country repeatedly. He is, in my opinion, anti-American.
He has sworn to defend and protect the Constitution and yet, he is blatantly violating it, practically flaunting his indiscretions in the face of the people.

I believe in our Constitution. The 1st Amendment gives me the right to say what I'm saying in this forum. I have the right to worship my God in any way I please.
The 4th amendment prohibits the government (or it's entities) from committing unlawful search and seizures. I have the right to be secure in  my persons, houses, papers, and effects. I have a reasonable expectation of privacy. It's obviously been violated for some time now 'cause hell, I'm a Verizon customer.

And then, there's my all time favorite, the 2nd Amendment. It gives me the right to bear arms, most especially against tyranny. The anti gun crowd calls us 2nd Amendment devotees radicals. Nothing could be further from the truth. The world is falling apart. The government is scaring the shit out of people and some believe we may even need to take arms against the government. Is this all a fact or is it fiction? Is it an unreasonable assumption or just plain paranoia?
People are buying guns and ammunition like never before. Many are buying ammo in bulk and taking advantage of the shortage and exhibiting some entrepreneurial skills of their own. Ah, Capitalism. Beats Socialism any day.

Impeach Obama cause I want my country back.

Waffle Iron

Tampa, Florida

There are just some things in life that leave you speechless. This is one of them. I have to say that I've seen guns stored in a lot of places, but this particular place could have had some dire consequences. Instead, she makes the local news headlines and it prompts a good bit of snickering.

Just what we need, another stupid ass helping the liberal agenda's gun ban proposal.
People like that just shouldn't be allowed to have guns.


THE OPEN RANGE WAFFLE




Please people, know where your firearms are at all times. You don't want to be cleaning up the Waffle disaster when the Zombie Apocalypse goes down.

Making sense of it All

Every now and then, one of our political hacks actually spouts out something eloquent.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) SC, made a compelling speech before the House Judiciary Committee meeting regarding gun control.

The question is....is anyone listening to those words?

Another 4 Years

Today is a federal holiday and ordinarily, I would be enjoying my day off and maybe even catching up on a little TV. Today is also Inauguration Day and I refuse to turn on the TV, knowing full well I'd be inundated with all the pomp associated with another 4 years of this moron named Obama.

I make no bones about the fact that I didn't vote for him. I don't know too many people who did, but then again I live in a red state. Many idiots voted for Obama strictly based on the color of his skin. I don't have any black friends that did. Then again, my black friends work for a living, have an education and are not dependent upon the government to get them through their every day lives. Like the rest of us, we do what we can to make ends meet and try to stay away from government assistance. It was once the great American way...to work for what you wanted. Now, many expect that their wants and needs will be taken care of by someone else because everyone owes it to them. That's sad. It's not who we ever were.

There are also many of us who are simply fed up with our government representatives. Who do they actually stand for besides themselves? I'm having my doubts about our election process. Obama winning a second term was rigged....I'm convinced of it. It doesn't matter. Unless he's impeached or resigns, we're stuck with him for another 4 years.

Obama doesn't care about your rights. He's consistently stepping on toes and wiping his feet on the Constitution. His views do not mimic what we as citizens of these great United States would like. His views do not stand for the republic nor do his outlandish laws serve any useful purpose but to cause so much divisiveness. Some believe that our ruler has a method to all this madness and it isn't in our best interest.

Obama doesn't want law enforcement to enforce immigration laws. To me, this is asking for trouble. How much crime do law enforcement officers deal with that are committed by illegal aliens? Depending on certain demographics, I'd say more than half. Now, knowing full well that his logic tends to lean too far to the left, he is punishing every citizen based on the actions of a number of mentally ill people who killed innocent people with firearms. He came up with some ideas. Ideas that have already been batted around a number of times. Maybe more police in schools will help deter crimes. By all means, if the government will subsidize or fund it, make it happen. It's unfortunate, but necessary. Will banning certain firearms, ammo and magazine capacities make a difference? Highly unlikely.
Perhaps the President would like to keep an eye on all the courts that make back room deals with Judges, prosecutors, and attorneys who allow repeat violent offenders plea deals. Most of these violent offenders have no moral compass and are released only to commit violent crimes again and again.

The one glaring common denominator in all these mass shootings is mental illness. How does the President propose to keep firearms away from the mentally ill without stigmatizing people or causing Doctors to put their careers on the line should they make the wrong diagnosis? What about that reasonable expectation of privacy? Labeling people as "unstable" without violating HIPPA laws is a slippery slope.

Obama's arrogance is immeasurable. Today, he once again swore to uphold and defend the Constitution. The Constitution clearly states that citizens have the right to keep and bear arms and that right shall not be infringed. This is angering many people and is causing chaos and panic in the gun industry far beyond what they saw in 2008 when Obama was first elected.

How does Obama expect law enforcement will receive these unlawful orders? Does he think that law enforcement in the U.S. will blindly follow the leader and take away the guns from their citizens? Many Sheriffs are taking a stance and are doing so by not only utilizing certain media outlets, but they're also doing it the old fashioned way...in a signed letter to the VP. Check out this site. My 3 favorite Sheriffs have made their voices clear. They will not enforce unconstitutional laws.

SHERIFFS TAKE A STAND

Is the NRA Up to the Job?


Yesterday was Obama's big day. He presented 23 proposals that, by executive order, are going to become the law of the land. Gun sales were already up after this tragic incident in Connecticut. Sales spiked again yesterday and today, with people now purchasing hordes of ammunition. High capacity magazines and AR type rifles are long gone, with some sellers asking double, and sometimes triple their original cost.

The action the Obaminator has taken has been shoved down the throats of citizens by way of the guilt factor. Yes, it's all in the best interest of the children. It's best to disarm everyone and that is supposed to make it all better - that it will help prevent more tragic shootings by mentally ill persons. IT WILL NOT. I'd like to say that people are outraged enough that something will be done to prevent this blatant attack on our Constitutional rights.



Interestingly enough, this chain of events has not only caused record gun and ammo sales, it has had a direct result on NRA membership. The NRA now boasts that membership has increased by 250,000 in just one month.

 I certainly hope that they are up to the task at hand. We must not surrender to the whims of the liberal idiots who find guns so offensive. The President's actions are reprehensible and he should not be allowed to force his socialist beliefs upon our free thinking society.  I'm tired of kissing ass in an effort to be more politically correct.

Pro gun politicians have already made it clear their intent to bar Obama's little foray down this road. While I say that I agree to some of their proposals, others are a joke and an insult to the intelligence of responsible gun owners. Some are just good in theory, but difficult to piece together and make work.

Meanwhile, law enforcement officers are now taking a stance. Linn County, OR, Sheriff Tom Mueller
wrote a letter to the Vice President essentially telling old Joe that he wasn't going to enforce something that was a direct violation of Constitutional rights, rights that he is sworn to uphold.
One of my favorite Sheriffs, J. Al Cannon, Esq., of Charleston County, SC also made a press statement  concerning his take on the matter.

I foresee a long hard fight ahead.

Are our Gun Rights in Jeopardy?

There's been a frenzied atmosphere in most gun shops as of late. The intensity of emotions resonating from gun owners and buyers ranges from fear of anarchy and chaos, to downright defiance of the government's potential ban on firearms. People are worried and scared. Many have predicted that riots will ensue when guns are taken and some whisper plans of making a stand. It's a situation of great concern for everyone.

Gun stores are running out of everything and just can't keep up with the supply and demand. Some are claiming price gouging during this sudden spate of gun and ammo purchasing. The statistics in the last 3 weeks alone would surprise and frighten those anti gun folks. Those in favor of gun rights, it doesn't surprise them at all. Obama is the greatest gun salesman the US has ever seen.

Some sick sons of bitches have wreaked havoc and death upon innocent children and adults. Terrorists do that. So do the mentally ill. It is indeed a sad set of circumstances and something does need to be done to prevent it from continuing. But what? How do we screen the mentally ill and keep them from legal firearms? How will banning assault rifles fix this problem?

To take away a person's Constitutional right to keep and bear arms seems an extreme course of action. Then again, His Royal Highness, the Obama idiot, wants to effectively strip away your rights and he will do it by Executive Order and to hell with everyone.

One industrious member of the left wing liberal news media in one of those radical blue states up north, takes it upon themselves to access all the gun owners database in one particular county, and then publishes the names of all those who have registered firearms. Now, what exactly was this jack ass trying to prove?
You really have to question the motivation behind this act of selfish stupidity. In actuality, those whose names were published were just law abiding citizens. They did what their little government asked them do and "registered" their firearms. Does the criminal element follow the letter of the law and tell the government about their guns? Oh, hell no.
Frankly, it only proved that the writer of that article, his editor, and the entire newspaper staff are a bunch of like minded half assed morons who just can't see the big picture.
So what is the bigger picture?

Who are we really controlling when we enact so-called "gun laws?" With so much violence in the world, that's just one more reason for me to keep my guns and ammo.

It seemed like more than half the nation had had enough of this hope and change bullshit and that this El Presidente jackass would be history. No such luck. I swear the election was rigged. That's my theory.
Interestingly enough, there's this sudden look at the 22nd Amendment, also known as the 2 term presidential limit. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Guns Save Lives

If you've never come across this website http://gunssavelives.net/ before, you should take a peek at some of the stories of self defense. It's always a worthy read.
This website is full of people who are tired of being a victim and they're fighting back. It's a proven fact that most gun owners are law abiding citizens who are least likely to commit a crime.

It's amazing how every state except Illinois has some kind of concealed carry law or laws governing gun ownership. With that fact, is it just coincidence that Illinois residents are killing each other in droves? Chicago used to be a city I've always wanted to visit and maybe even catch a Cubby game at Wrigley. Not now. Not ever. Only the thugs and scum on the street have guns and the average citizen has no recourse, no way to defend themselves. Hell, the way the laws are written there, if they even fight back in their own home, they're quite literally breaking the law. Why should you, the victim, have to retreat in your own home? Why should anyone be charged with a crime for defending themselves or their property? Doesn't seem right, does it?

The recent reelection of the Obaminator left me numb for days. How did this happen? Were the voting tallies correct? Were the minority sheeple so taken with Barry's persona that all that hope and change crap blinded them to the reality of our situation? Perhaps it will be one of those mysteries of the ages...just like his birth certificate. Ah, but that's a whole other story.....

Now the proverbial "wish list" of assault weapons those morons in DC want to ban, is out and the gun stores are having a field day.
Sales are up and Black Friday guns sales was at a record breaking high. Yes, I was in the middle of that chaos and our gun shop alone probably sold over 60 guns that day. It was so busy that the National Instant Background Check System (NICS) was practically gridlocked. The Blaze reported the story in all-too-accurate detail.

There's no doubt about it.....people in the red states are scared. Some may even be overly paranoid, believing that SUV's with tinted windows will surround their house in the middle of the night, using Gestapo like tactics to seize everyone's guns. I'd like to think we are a rational people and that it won't come to that.

And now, those geniuses out there in the land of liberal do-gooders think it's a bright idea to have a gun buyback program.



Wonder what that will accomplish?

Guns DO Save Lives

Let's face it, unless you've been living under a rock, you can't help seeing news coverage of all the latest mass shootings. Things like Aurora, Co, the Sikh Temple in Wisconsin and now, the shooting involving NYPD, are prime examples. When these things happen, all the talking heads and liberal media begin asking such hard hitting questions, wondering how it could have happened and how to prevent it. Everybody's got an idea and most involve banning guns altogether. That debate never ends. And as long as there are half assed liberals who want the government to do their thinking for them, then there will always be morons who think that criminals will obey the gun laws.

Let's just take a look at some of the most crime infested cities in the US....they all have gun bans.
Chicago, IL
Baltimore, MD
Camden, NJ
are prime examples of high crime rates and a strict gun ban. There's a correlation but the anti-gun crowd doesn't see it.

Because the near sighted, politically correct news media doesn't point out the facts, and instead glosses over certain details, it tends to result in the anti gun zealots going through life with blinders on. Ask yourself why the majority of gun violence involves black males. Most of the guns obtained by the black males were acquired by them illegally. But you don't hear about that in the news media. It would be racist to do it otherwise.
In fact, when you hear about gun owners and concealed carry permit holders using their firearms in self defense, defense of a third person, or protection of their property, it's usually from some obscure or local source. You don't see CNN or Fox News covering that story. When the average law abiding gun owner does the general public a favor, you certainly don't hear about that in the national news.

There is a website out there called, Guns Save Lives  and it does an excellent job of ferreting out and reporting on stories of people who have used their firearms to protect themselves. Paste it to your favorites and read the latest stories. The criminal element needs to be on their toes because the pissed off  public refuses to be a victim!

Guns or People?

The left wing liberals are on their soapbox these last few days. The shooting in Colorado has the anti gun lobby so excited this election year and once again, we listen to their tired old arguments. How can people actually believe that this shooting never would have happened if people weren't allowed to buy guns? They say, "guns kill people." No matter how many times you remind them that those triggers don't pull themselves, the gun haters still think that if guns were outlawed, the murder rate and shootings would drop. Apparently they forgot about the outlaws, thugs, gangsta wanna-bees and other criminal elements. Do they obey the laws? I wonder why the retarded Democrats think this may work?
Is it working in Illinois? That's the only state that doesn't have a concealed carry law and look at their astronomical murder rate from guns. Coincidence? The citizens can't fight back, can they? Instead, they must cower and endure the fate handed out by the very same democratic assholes who voted for the Obaminator.

Whenever something like this happens, the anti gun assholes climb out from under their rocks and then gun sales skyrocket. Trust me. I work in a gun store. It was a madhouse this weekend.

If guns kill people, then the thousands of guns in my store would have conspired together to wipe out earthlings and take over the world. They haven't. In fact, parents bring their kids along while they shop for guns and accessories and use our indoor firing range. The world is often a cruel, nasty place and parents find it necessary to teach their children how to respect the firearm.
If guns kill people then should we release all the criminals in the jails who have committed murder by using a gun? After all, they didn't do it. The gun did it.

A friend passed these words on to me today,

The gun has no conscience, it merely carries out the will of the one who uses it. Just like cars don't intend to make you drive drunk, the car is innocent and you're not. The pencil didn't intend to make you misspell words, you're the idiot in control of the pencil; be thankful that it gave you an eraser so you can try to fix your grammatical fuck ups, but that would require intelligence, something that is sorely missed in this day and age.


The United States has an out of control drug problem. Can we ban all the drugs when they are often necessary to aid in the healing of the sick? Can we ban alcohol because people drink and drive? I don't know about you, but we repealed prohibition 80 plus years ago and I would like to continue enjoying my one and only vice during my twilight years.




My friends at the ATF would agree that there are just some things you don't screw around with.

Living in a red state, we like our guns and our 2nd Amendment. The Supreme Court held up our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms, but if the left wing, libtards have their way, we could be literally fighting for those rights in the next 4 years.

This video is of a gunstore owner who had been interviewed by their local news media. Mr. Pendergast states, "The only reason that there's a 1st Amendment is because there's a 2nd Amendment. Without the 2nd Amendment, the 1st Amendment would go away." Do we really want that?

http://www.abcnews4.com/story/19081387/colorado-tragedy-stirs-gun-debate-in-lowcountry


There is also an inaccurate comment at the end of the video. (The news media? Inaccurate reporting? That would never happen.)
The reporter states that you must have a concealed weapons permit to carry a gun. That is not entirely true. Yes, you must have a CWP to carry the firearm concealed upon your person. However, you don't need a permit to purchase or possess a handgun or rifle or to have one in your home, car, or place of business.
State laws vary, but in our pro 2nd Amendment state, we are required to conduct instant background checks through NICS (National Instant Background Check System) when a person purchases a gun from us. They do not give out information, they only tell you whether to proceed with a sale, delay it or deny it.
It must have been a busy little place over the weekend. They experienced a higher than normal call volume and many of us were put on hold for extended periods of time. That almost never happens.

So who is ultimately responsible for this senseless shooting? The fuckin' idiot who pulled the trigger!

When the Zombies Attack....

...will you be prepared?

Working in a gun shop has many advantages. Not only do you get some serious employee discounts, but you get to play with all kinds of guns. I continue to learn new things every day and that includes interacting with a wide spectrum of the human race. Not that there's any shortage of that in my business, but when people don't know who you really are and you're not wearing some intimidating uniform, they tend to open up a bit. There are people who come in there in awe of a real gun shop and indoor range, most especially when they hail from those northern blue states and other parts of the world.

Gun purchases in my state have more than doubled since this time last year and better than half the gun purchasers are women. People are signing up in droves for the CWP classes and applications for concealed weapon permits have far surpassed last year's numbers. The state government body who processes CWP applications sent an email memo to all instructors to please assist in expediting the permitting process by double checking all paperwork for potential errors. It was time consuming to send them back for corrections and they were over-burdened as it was.

Why are so many people buying guns, you ask?
It's simple....they are in fear.  People fear different things. Some seem to have a fear of impending doom based on the present political climate, and maybe they're justified in that one. Some fear that the present Zimmerman-Martin case will effect the 'stand your ground' law and that there will be anarchy and chaos in the streets.  Women are becoming empowered, refusing to be victims. The incidents of violent crimes are soaring, especially in the larger urban areas.

Then.....


there are those that fear the Zombie Apocalypse. When the Zombies attack, will you be ready?

Like the price of gasoline, the price of ammo continues to rise. Before that Obamination starts stripping the law abiding citizens of their 2nd Amendment rights, it's time to stock up.
Who knows, maybe the Obaminator is conspiring with the Zombies to make us all brainless drones that follow his socialist dictatorship without question.

And the winner is....The Castle Doctrine

FOLLOW UP TO:

The Castle Doctrine Strikes Again

Charleston, SC

The previous entry reported on an attempted carjacking case where the driver of the car, fearing for his safety, shot and killed a suspect who was attempting to get in to his vehicle while he was stopped at a red light.
After firing 2 times at the perpetrator, the driver fled the scene and called 911 when he was a safe distance away. The convicted drug dealer and total scumbag that he shot, died right there on the scene.  31 year old Artremain Grant had several convictions for drug offenses and spent some time behind bars. (Shocking!)

Grant's Grandmother, Willie Mae Grant, done raised him to be a fine, up standin' young man. He was a church goer and all. Well, not so much anymore.

Under the Protection of Persons and Property Act for SC, the occupant of the vehicle can use deadly force if he has reasonable cause to believe that his life is in danger, and to protect himself and his property during the commission of a dangerous felony. Carjacking is a dangerous felony and well, it's 4 a.m. and someone is trying to get in to his car. He got that gun that all law abiding citizens are allowed to possess. The one he has legally in his vehicle stored in the closed glove compartment, console or trunk. Yes. That one. The one that doesn't require a permit. The one the 2nd Amendment says he can have. He got his gun and he acted in self defense. He shot the bastard.

Well, as luck would have it, the REAL victim of this crime will not be charged.

Amazingly, Miss Willie Mae doesn't deny her grandson had his share of issues. Listen to her story.
Granny's pretty mellow or she's heavily medicated.

Also, no one knows how Grant got there and who his co-horts in crime are. They fled the scene and left their buddy in the middle of the road to die. Nothin' like a little bro love.

Time to Take a Stance


Things being what they are; personal finances, budget cuts, the high cost of everything, people are forced to work secondary jobs or work over time as much as they can. Over time is not a steady paycheck and cannot always be counted on to supplement the income. Don't get me wrong, I take it whenever my schedule allows it as it pays more than my part time job. I took a part time job because it's a steady paycheck.
While it doesn't pay a great deal of money and doesn't provide benefits, it has some bonuses and perks.
Plus, I get to play with my favorite toys all day. Yep, I get to handle GUNS!

I handle and show guns to potential buyers. I rent guns to people who want to learn to shoot. I get to shoot guns and make purchases at an employee discounted rate. I teach people about gun safety and even teach some to clean and operate their new purchase.



I meet a lot of interesting people every day. I consider myself a people person. Although, the average thug on the street doesn't like to show his face in this gun shop. I suppose because everyone working there is wearing a gun and it's full of what they think are "rednecks." Not only that, the law requires instant criminal history checks and well, most that try to purchase a gun get denied. (Imagine that) Then they try their bullshit story telling and it doesn't work. According to everyone that works there, and my own personal observations, when seen, the droopy drawers crowd tends to play it cool. Although, if they dressed like normal people with their pants up, they would not attract as much attention to themselves.

Don't get me wrong, this gun shop caters to everyone, including women, and boasts the largest indoor range within a 100 mile radius. It's just that with so many law enforcement officers in there or even working in there, it more than likely deters their presence.

The 2nd amendment is a powerful Constitutional right that all law abiding citizens should be able to exercise. Some of our more liberal, blue state law enforcement officers may believe that allowing the ordinary citizen to possess or even carry a concealed firearm is an accident looking for a place to happen. Some fear that there will be a wave of mass shootings of innocent people. Well, there is right now!

I like living in a red state. We have a rock solid Castle Doctrine law that protects the victim/homeowner. Robberies, Carjacking, Burglary, Kidnapping, Sex Assaults, are all violent crimes in this state and licensed CWP holders, can use deadly force in the prevention or commission of such crimes. CWP holders can also come to the aid of any relative, friend or bystander who would likewise have the right to use deadly force and do so on their behalf. It's called the "Alter Ego" rule. Keep in mind, you don't need a CWP to own or possess a firearm in this state, you need a CWP to carry a concealed firearm on or about your person.

So, my own personal interactions with law enforcement in this state is that most all believe in the concealed carry law. They take pleasure in the fact that innocent victims can legally take a stand against the average maggot on the street without fear of the criminal justice system screwing them because they simply acted in self defense or defense of others.  Cops also like clearing cases as "Justified."

Does it cause people with guns to act like it's the wild west? NO! On the contrary, it has the opposite effect. Look at cities such as Chicago and Washington, DC. Both take the honor of being in the top 10 of  America's most lawless cities with crime rates through the roof. Why? Because they actually tried to ban guns....even going so far as to ban them in a person's home. A person should be able to feel safe in their own home and should be allowed to defend their castle against intruders or attackers. How dare the government intrude in to my home.
On another note, terrorists and scumbags will allows manage to get their hands on guns or other weapons in some way. Meanwhile, the average citizen is left naked and defenseless against the armed criminal element. Who wins? It is impossible to get all the guns off the street.

Ah, but I digress.....

Working in the gun shop and being a CWP instructor, there has been a recent surge in gun sales and people attending the CWP training courses. What could cause that, you ask? Tax refund time? The current political climate? The current economic crisis with undertones of violence? Fear of losing our Constitutional right to keep and bear arms? The increase of gun violence? Who knows.

In recent weeks, a good majority of my attendees have been the over 50 crowd. Let's face it, the elderly are the biggest targets. Now, they want to fight back and I don't blame them one bit.

It's time to take a stance. Take the safety courses. Get your permit. Follow the gun safety rules. Don't be a victim.

Councilman Calls for Sheriff to Renounce his 2nd Amendment push

My favorite Sheriff, Chuck Wright of Spartanburg County, SC



recently encouraged women to go out and get their concealed weapons permits. He did this because of  recent attacks on women.

(See my post of Sheriff Says Women Should Carry Guns)

When he made this statement, he made it more than once and stood his ground. He did not waiver and he had the backing of the local solicitor's office and even the Governor.
As a direct result of his very public statements, over 600 people from that county recently applied for their concealed carry permits.

One lone, stupid, naive Democrat on county council this week made a news release denouncing Sheriff Wright's actions as irresponsible. WTF? Councilman Michael Brown  believes that the Sheriff's ideas of allowing citizens to legally arm themselves is promoting lawlessness.  Councilman Brown seems to think that more time should be spent counseling at risk youth.  BWAAAA!  I believe many of you laugh with me and you do so for so many obvious reasons.

Mr. Brown has his head in the sand. Ah, on second thought, maybe it's in his ass.
The 2nd amendment is a powerful thing and the Sheriff believes in a person's Constitutional right to bear arms.
He's also a realist. There is no way that the police can protect us all 24/7 and, according to the US Supreme Court, they have no duty to.
Perhaps Mr. Brown should read this document:
http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/09pdf/08-1521.pdf

The city of Chicago and the District of Columbia tried banning guns and look what happened to them. They became the most lawless cities in the US.

Nope, the Sheriff of any county has a duty to preserve and protect the Constitution of the US and that includes upholding both the 2nd and 14th amendment, as well as all applicable state laws.

Thumbs up to Sheriff Wright for being a man who tells it like it is!

Citizens and the Concealed Weapon



Applications for concealed carry permits have tripled in the last year.



I have recently read some comments on other blogs concerning gun rights and ownership.  A number of over-educated liberal morons who know absolutely nothing about handguns, and have obviously led sheltered lives, have been spouting insane theories.  Some have gone so far as to say handguns should be banned, period.  
Mayor Daley of Chicago blamed the Ft. Hood shootings on the easy accessibility of  handguns.  No offense, Mr. Mayor, but you have no idea what you're fucking talking about!  
In the great state of Texas, them's considered fightin' words.  Texans are not easily pushed around and remember, they're a red state.  "Don't mess with Texas!"


Facts being what they are;


In 1975 Washington, DC, the "murder capital" of the US, enacted legislation called the "Firearms Regulation Control Act."  This act prohibited people from keeping firearms that were operable, in their home for the purpose of self defense. Yes, you could have a gun in your home, but it had to be registered with the police and had to be disassembled.  Somebody please tell me why I would want a non-functioning gun in the first place!  History proves that Washington DC began it's rapid rise in crime and urban blight through the 80's and 90's.

Now, the 2nd amendment to the constitution reads in part..."a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed upon."
The case of Warren v. District of Columbia ruled that it should not criminalize self defense when it is not legally obligated to defend the people.  These gun laws forced law abiding citizens to choose between protecting their lives or breaking the law.
The police cannot guarantee your safety nor are they obligated to protect you.  Who will protect you?
I sure as hell can't do it with a non functioning gun and I can't call a time out so I can put it together.  Oh wait, I forgot, it's against the freakin' law for me to kill somebody who is trying to kill me.  Shit!  That sucks doesn't it?
Facts prove that the crime rate goes DOWN when law abiding citizens can arm themselves.



In 2008, the US Supreme Court ruled the District of Columbia's Firearms Regulation Act as unconstitutional, summarizing that people have the right to have a working weapon in their home for the purpose of self protection.
That was a huge victory for gun owners and it proves, that even with socialism knocking on the door, the NRA still wields a little power in Washington.

There are a number of states besides Texas, that have established concealed carry laws and applications for permits have tripled in the last year.  In those states, it is legal to have a weapon in your home, car, or place of business and you do not need a permit.
As for the self defense rule, google "Castle Doctrine" and it will explain that you have no duty to retreat in your home, car or place of business.
It means if you break in to my house, I can shoot and kill you.  And get this - I cannot be charged criminally and the sorry son of a bitch's family can't sue me.  I have no duty to retreat in my own home.  It's my freakin' castle, asshole!





To carry a handgun concealed, on or about your person, requires a permit.  There are certain standards and training requirements one must meet in order to apply for a Concealed Carry permit.
Training requirements are stringent and enforced.  Certified instructors are held accountable for every applicant they train.  My home state is a 'shall issue' state which means if an applicant meets all the requirements and passes all the exams, the state will issue a permit within 90 days.
Statistics prove that carjackings and home invasions typically decrease.  CWP holders have come to the aid of both citizens and law enforcement.  Mishaps, carelessness and unlawful use of deadly force incidents were less than 3% in 2008.
That percentage simply proves you can't un-train an idiot.  

States with CWP laws on the books and who share reciprocity are; Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, Kansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Louisiana,Virginia, W. Virginia, N. Carolina, S. Carolina, Missouri, Michigan, Texas, Florida, and Wyoming.  Think what you will, but most law enforcement officers will agree that these laws actually work.

Our fearless leader put guns and ammo on his to-do list of potential tax hits.  Not one day after he won the election, gun and ammo sales skyrocketed.  One year later, ammo is still hard to come by and it's at incredibly high prices.

If the Obama administration continues on its present path, we all could be surrendering our constitutional right to defend ourselves.  What Constitutional right will be next?
