All on a Sunday afternoon... :113: Wish I would have thought of this 30 years ago when my son was involved in Little League/Youth Baseball... With each passing year it was more difficult to field enough boys and girls to put together a competitive league... Soccer, parents were pushing their...
After debating a retired Military individual about Gun Violence I came across some startling information. That was that, returning soldiers had a startling rate of Violent Criminal convictions. I studied this a bit and was shocked at the connection that SSRI Antidepressants had with not only...
This article details a common thread for many of the mass shooting events over the past few decades. From Columbine to Parkland, the use of SSRI antidepressants many have played a key role in these outbursts of hate.
From the article: From Prozac to Parkland: Are Psychiatric Drugs Causing Mass...
A white van drove up onto the sidewalk at the corner of Yonge and Finch in Toronto just minutes ago. 8 to 10 people were struck. The driver is in custody.
Watching on TV now. No idea if this a medical situation or a terrorist attack.
Three Kansas militiamen who plotted to bomb Muslims are found guilty on terrorism charges
I don't remember hearing about this on the news.
The men — at least two of whom had posted pro-Trump messages on social media, according to reports — at times invoked anti-Islam rhetoric expressed by...
In all fairness, the title of the article that appears below is a bit over the top. I did not read or hear that she said that the students are like “demonic Nazis who rape gun owners” but, even at that, her words are pretty deplorable...
My wife just showed me a post that one of her Facebook friends posted. :lmao:
"This is a PSA.
I want you to feel better about our gun culture.

The entire left-wing narrative about firearms is a lie. It’s all built on a political agenda rather than on data.
That’s right - 0% of the ATF investigators were able to make an illegal purchase. Not even one.
Investigators test how well gun laws work online — and find shocking results that...
I thought this powerful enough to have its own thread. Well said but complex.
“Mass shootings have become routine in the United States and speak to a society that relies on violence to feed the coffers of the merchants of death. Given the profits made by arms manufacturers, the defense...
The sheriff said that calling 911 means officers are on their way, but said, “Until they arrive, it’s up to you and those with you to neutralize or eliminate the threat.”
Ivey encouraged people to take self-defense classes, and urged those with concealed weapons permits to carry their guns with...

At long last, the first trial based on the events surrounding the violent 2010 murder of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry by Mexican drug smugglers wielding firearms supplied by the U.S. government began last week in a Tucson, Arizona, courtroom. A political firestorm erupted when it was revealed...
So tonight I was having a lite dinner at a rib and wing bar, watching Florida get crushed by Alabama on the big screens, and in comes 3 local boyz and I could see the imprint of the mouse gun in an inside the belt holster at 6 oclock (small of the back) of one of them as they all sat down 2...
In addition to the usual gun handling safety rules, such as always treating all guns as if they are loaded, here are my additional best practices rules for gunfighting:

Yet another bombing. Yet another mass stabbing. Proving yet again that guns are not the problem. If someone wants to kill - they will find anything at their disposal to kill with. A knife. A baseball bat. A bomb. An automobile. A rope. A hammer. The list goes on and on.
Guns are the ultimate...
I was going to comment on these pieces but thought let the reader come to their own conclusion. The top piece is by Charles Bowden and talks about immigration, the second piece is on China's business involvement in Australia. The third article is on gun policy, and the forth piece on whales and...

I was looking for an old advertisement for the Thompson Machine Gun and stumbled upon this nugget of American history.
"Get Big Dick and be envied by every boy in town"
Could someone please explain to me what republicans are thinking when it comes to the mass shootings? To be clear, I'm looking for a rational discussion or even just an explanation, and I'm trying to understand all the sides to an argument here. What response do republicans want to give to the...
I think it speaks volumes that law enforcement at all levels (federal, state, and local) are adamant that they do not want to be the first to move to the "smart guns" because they know that it is unreliable and will end with their death. Well, leadership is by example. If it's not good enough...
Scary assault weapon! Eek!

Kids right to bear arms? They shoot better than they drive. But they can't own a gun until 18th birthday. It doesn't look like their trying to do mass shootings except maybe the Columbine Massacre , but more teens kill with cars than guns. Take the keys away?
I am looking to purchase my first long gun/rifle. The main reason is for large game hunting(ie deer), with a secondary reason of "home defense". I know, a long gun is not the most practical for home defense, therefore it is the secondary reason. What I am looking for is some advice as to what to...
Listening to Herb I hear a young man who was deprived of a safe, fairly happy childhood by an immature teen girl or young woman who in all likelihood also deprived him of growing up alongside a responsible dad he could look up to and admire.

I thought that it is interesting and telling that there was no Jeb Bush thread in the politics forum. It’s seems that Trump, Carson and even Fiorina are getting all of the play. I realize that Bush is a “ho hum” candidate who is down in the polls but we should pay attention because all that can...
