Silly "Journalist" Who Bought a Gun to Prove Some Kind of Point

Image
  Helen Ubinas walked into a licensed gun dealership (lol) and bought a semi-automatic AR-15 type (lol) rifle in 7 minutes. Oh. My. GOODNESS. SEVEN MINUTES! She describes the life altering moment as 'obscene' and 'horrifying'. If it took me only 7 minutes to buy my next rifle, I would probably feel the opposite.   But she, unlike myself, is a left wing gun control advocate that is horrified that some of us Americans can get a hold of a gun that easily. Now I'm assuming she is an American citizen (as she successfully bought the rifle). And I'm also assuming she is not a convicted felon (as she successfully bought the rifle). Now, I understand what she was trying to do here. But honestly, it would have made a better point had she been a questionable character going in to buy a gun, not the ideal citizen. Now she is just a hypocrite. She's a left wing hypocrite (don't those words work well together?) who now owns a Military-style...

Senator Murphy forcing Congress to make Gun Control Decision

Image
“Senate Democrats ended a nearly 15-hour filibuster early Thursday after Republican Party leaders reportedly agreed to allow votes on two proposed gun control measures,” nbcnews.com reports. “Sen. Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut, said that a compromise had been reached. Votes would be held on whether to ban people on the government’s terrorist watch list from obtaining gun licenses and whether to expand background checks to gun shows and internet sales, he added. ‘We did not have that commitment when we started today,’ Murphy said.” Here we go again . . . Senator Chris Murphy is trying to force Congress to make a decision on gun control, because of course, "Nobody needs to own a Military style assault weapon." “Senate Democrats ended a nearly 15-hour filibuster early Thursday after Republican Party leaders reportedly agreed to allow votes on two proposed gun control measures,” nbcnews.com reports. “Sen. Chris Murphy, a Democrat from Connecticut, ...

Two For the Price of One: Two Big Pro-Gun Court Cases

Two For the Price of One: Two Big Pro-Gun Court Cases Getty Images So it’s not a great week to be a “gun-grabber.” With federal courts coming down in favor of the Second Amendment, you can just imagine that the Bloombergs of the world are sitting at home seething. The surprising thing is that the two biggest issues in gun rights litigation this week came from a couple of fairly liberal federal courts: the United States Court of Appeals for the 9 th Circuit (think the likes of California), and a Washington, D.C. Federal District Court. Let’s break down these court cases: Tackling the 9 th Circuit case we see Teixeira v. County of Alameda. In this case a group of like-minded, gun supporting citizens, sought to open up a gun shop in Alameda County, California. All of these individuals qualified under the laws to open up the shop. However, left- leaning Alameda County listened to the fear-mongering residents and denied these would be gun shop owners – citing zoning ordinances, et...

A Bit of Realism for Lefties: Some 2nd Amendment Common Sense

Image
The 2 nd Amendment: ‘ 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.’ So much ‘to do’ over a comma! What are you talking about Pete? I’m referring to the actual wording and grammatical structure of the 2 nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Some folks would have you believe the framers of the Amendment spoke a different language than we do today, and that sentence structure and thought processes were/are so disparate to our time and concerns that, well, we just don’t fully understand their meaning and having only delusions of adequacy. Let me throw my two cents in, I believe the founding fathers inspiration for the Amendments were based on fear, the fear of government, of a government exercising overarching power upon its citizens. Sound familiar? I believe that if you read the actual wording without bias it shouldn’t be difficult to extract (if you have to work that ha...
