  • More thoughts on “Fudds”
    Firearms and Freedom on November 20th, 2008
    There  has been some argument in the comments over at Sebastian’s about the use of the term “Fudd.” As I stated in a previous post, I think using the term is counterproductive, at best. This does not mean, as some have suggested, that I give the hunters, or any other gun owners, who do not support our rights a pass. I just think ...

    Libertyaholic on November 20th, 2008
    More police-state madness from our friends in the UK: Motorists could be automatically banned from the road after two speeding tickets under government reforms unveiled today. The tougher measures would apply to drivers who break the speed limit by a significant margin. Those who twice break the speed limit by a large margin – 20mph or more – c...

    Snowflakes in Hell on November 20th, 2008
    I’m going to make a prediction, because I think a picture might be shaping up here.  Given who Obama has nominated for his AG, and the things he said, I think we can expect gun shows, and in particular private sales, to be a prime target of the new administration.  Why? Gun shows are a locus of organization for the gun community.  We̵...

    This is a variation of the old tried and true story… Toyota and GM decided to have a canoe race on the Mississippi River.

The Americans, very discouraged and depressed, decided to investigate the reas...

Barack Obama ran so far away from the gun control issue that they created a fake pro-gun group for him so that he could pretend to be pro-gun and have exactly nothing to do with you and your buddies. At the same time, the Brady Bunch will be better off with Obama in office than McCain. ...
