• Number of Gun Background Checks Under Obama Outnumber the Entire Population of the U.K.

  In reply to JRook.

  @ JROOK – How are “universal background checks” and gun registration not equivalent to gun confiscation? One follows the other, especially when you consider that those who have suggested such measures in writing as “legislation” have frequently said in public that they think the world would be better off without guns. Additionally, these laws are simply another step down the slippery slope, all of the previous legislation has been in the name of safety and “reasonable” gun control, but I like many others are tired of not putting up a fight and saying, “well that’s reasonable” enough with “reasonable”, I have the God given right to own the firearms I want to own, and no politician or piece of paper ensure that right, my ownership of that firearm and failure to cave under pressure from people that don’t like it ensure that right. Furthermore these are unenforceable laws that do nothing to actually stop gun crime or criminals just like all the other laws to stop them have stopped them, just like the laws to stop drugs from being sold and used have stopped them, and just like laws to stop prostitution have stopped that from happening. It all just looks good in front of the television.

  @Welcome Black Carter, you’re right people should be afraid of this government, but its well past time that the government remember the lesson they keep seeming to forget.

  If it isn’t because of the proposed “Assault Weapons Ban” (read it, all the exceptions are for police and government, and for firearms that serve no real defensive purpose against either an attack from rioters, gang-members, a wild animal, or a full scale tyrannical assault from the government), then most people are purchasing more firearms because they’re legitimately afraid of their government.

• UPDATED: ‘I Give God 10%’ Tip Story Takes Interesting Twist: Pastor Revealed & the Waitress Has Allegedly Been Fired

  Actually I don’t think she should have been fired either. I believe that the server should have been provided the opportunity to correct her actions and keep her job, thus saving the public coffers another leach. HAd I been the manager, the young server would have been told she had the offer write an apology to the pastor, attend 4 Saturday outreach ministries at the church to help out and been placed on the slowest schedule for 4 weeks, or her other option would have been to quit. Best of both world’s the server learns that there are real life consequences to his or her actions and if he or she chose to quit they don’t have the standing to sue or draw unemployment benefits (at least not here in Texas).

• ‘What’s Wrong With These People?’: MSNBC Hosts Slam NRA’s New Ad

  January 17, 2013 at 11:40am

  I’ve heard from all over the mainstream media that this was a terrible ad, poorly worked, in bad taste, but MSNBC is probably the worst “news” station in existence. Nothing that their “journalists” “report” is factual. It might originally based in fact but that’s like the subtitle “based on a true story” for any movie made in Hollywood, the facts are overshadowed by the explosions and lovemaking. The same is true here. The media outlets are interested in sensationalizing everything that they touch, so we never get the facts. Now we could all sit here, and complain to one another about what’s happening (yes I know I’m guilty of it as I write this post), or we could actually do something. Call all of your friends and family across the country. Ask them to ask all of their friends and families across the country, call them regularly. Ask them to start writing, emailing, and calling their Congressman or woman and their Senators. Find out when their going to hold Town-Hall meetings. Those in favor of changing everything about this country are doing it. It’s time we started doing it. Get the word out on college campuses and high schools, start fighting fire with fire instead of sitting back, and giving up the fight.

• Gun Advocate Shocks CNN Co-Panelist: Slavery Potentially Wouldn’t Have Happened if Blacks Had Guns

  January 14, 2013 at 4:55pm

  If memory serves me correctly, there are a number of armed revolutions that did not achieve their stated goals. Which is not to say that all armed or even most armed revolutions are not successful, there are a number of other factors to consider that would change the outcome, such as experience in warfare, supply lines, logistics, organization, etc. Furthermore, there are a number of slave revolutions that did succeed, case in point, Toussaint L’Ouverture led a successful revolution on the island of Haiti which created an independent, mostly black, state. But that’s just one example where slaves have won their independence at the point of a gun.
