• World’s Largest Gun Parts Supplier Claims it Sold 3.5 Years Worth of AR-15 Magazines in 3 Days

  In reply to Stab_friendly.

  History channel had a show on the ‘Wild West’ a few years ago. Apparently it was nothing like western movies portray with a shooting every day. On the contrary, gunfights were few and far between. An armed society is a polite society.

• Graphic Video Shows Police Officer Fatally Shooting Man 11 Times — Was It Justified?

  December 13, 2012 at 6:19pm

  I’m no LEO, but it’s easy to second guess when you are sitting at your computer and not in the situation. That said, when a guy jumps out of the truck, then appears to reach down toward his waistband, I’d shoot him too. Even when he was on the ground he appeared to be trying to reach for something. I don’t know if it was a cell phone, drugs, or a pistol. I do know that if someone doesn’t get out of the vehicle slowly with their hands up, I would be on high alert. Then, when they reach down instead of getting their hands up, they are making a very bad choice. It is a bad thing that a man was killed, but if the cop had given the man the benefit of ANY doubt, it might have been him on the ground.

  It looked like the patrons left on queue to me.

• Gun Rights for the Win: Court Strikes Down Illinois Concealed Carry Ban

  In reply to progressiveslayer.

  I have never received an answer as to how the Bill of Rights preserves certain liberties (freedom of speech, religion, right to assemble, etc.) and NO ONE would say it’s OK for one state to, for example, ban Islam, but the states have this progressive view of the 2nd amendment that says they can limit, in innumerable ways, the right to bear arms, and NO ONE seems to have an answer as to why they are allowed to do this.

  You are Right, PS, EVERY law limiting the 2nd amendment is unconstitutional.

• See China’s First Successful Fighter Jet Landing on an Aircraft Carrier

  All this hooplah over hitting the 2nd cable? During the daytime? In calm seas? This is the Naval equivalent of shooting a lay-up.

• ‘There Is No Right to Secede’: See the Alleged Letter Where Justice Scalia Shoots Down Idea of Leaving the Union

  In reply to WHATYOUSAY.

  You nailed it. Sharia law doesn’t allow a wife to leave her husband either. The Constitution is a contract. When one side is not abiding by their end of the contract, the other side of the contract can leave whenever they like. Our Government is talking like a psycho boyfriend who forces a girl to date him. That’s not how it works. Do what you are supposed to do and we’ll want to stay. I’m sure when the Founders wrote:

  “When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”

  THEY MUST’VE MEANT IT ONLY IN THAT ONCE INSTANCE!!! IDIOTS!!

• 30 States Petition Federal Government to Secede After Election

  “However, unlike with Lincoln, these requests are peaceful”

  They were peaceful the 1st time. Lincoln brought the fight at Ft. Sumter, which galvanized the other states. If we’re going to compare current events to history, let’s get the history right.

  I said the comparison to Lincoln might be accurate for this reason in 2008.
