The Shooters Hangout

“Gun experts said unpublished study showed that guns were used for protection far more often than to commit crime. A new paper out of Florida State University accused the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of hiding results from a survey they conducted that said guns were used for defense three-and-a-half times more often […]

““We are going to attack this problem from every single side we see possible,” said Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher when talking about a bevy of budding additions to California’s gun laws. The bills, some filed weeks ago, were highlighted at a press conference this week by their sponsors, all Democrats in the California Assembly. As […]

“Polk County, Florida, Sheriff Grady Judd says schools must be allowed to adopt a system where concealed firearms holders are on campus and can “run to the threat.” He stressed that 911 is not sufficient because the attacker is already on campus, making his presence known via violence by the time 911 is called. Judd […]

“Gun sales soared in March amid concerns that Democrats and their left-leaning allies were working to enact major gun restrictions at both the state and federal levels. The FBI’s National Criminal Background Check System (NICS) processed more potential gun owners last month than it did in March 2016, when Americans went on a buying spree […]

“We are currently mired in a frantic debate about the rights of gun owners. One example should suffice to prove that the debate has become hysterical: Second Amendment supporters, one prominent but less than articulate member of Congress alleges, have become “enablers of mass murder.” Special animus has been directed against so-called assault rifles.

Some folks in the UK love to lecture Americans on guns. Now, many of us don’t actually care what they have to say. The British tried to enforce gun control on American shores once before, and they got shot at Lexington and Concord for their troubles. They don’t get a say in our local governance […]

“At the top of the leftist list of awesome things to ban sits the scary black rifle. Translated for people who know what they’re talking about: AR-15s. Lefties believe the AR was designed solely for shooting up elementary schools and giving its shooter a bad case of the PTSD, and thus shouldn’t be for sale […]

” There are two certainties following nearly every mass shooting event: Cable news television will have its programming schedule set for the next 72 hours, and a significant number of gun control advocates will reveal they lack even a basic understanding of the items they wish to regulate. The first certainty is to be expected. […]

“There’s a perception being propagated by the media right now that young people are rabidly anti-gun. That’s why they put high school kids on the news every night, intent on telling us what to think and what to believe. However, it seems that millennials, for all the guff they get from people like yours truly, […]
