AMERICA, ARMED …
Last month, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) conducted firearm background checks on 2.5 million Americans – a new record. In fact, it was the ninth consecutive record-breaking month in a row.
Good.
We’ve said it before, we’ll say it again: More guns = Less crime. The numbers don’t lie. In fact the last major mass shooting in America – the December 2015 San Bernardino terror attack – took place in a state with some of the most draconian anti-gun laws in America.
Last year, the FBI conducted 23 million background checks using its system – a record year. Of course the agency’s process was sharply criticized when it failed to pick up a 2015 drug arrest that should have prevented 21-year-old Dylann Storm Roof from purchasing a .45-caliber handgun.
Roof later used that gun to murder nine parishioners at the Mother Emanuel AME church in Charleston, S.C. – prompting president Barack Obama and 2016 Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton to renew their assault on the Second Amendment.
Roof’s assault also prompted South Carolina lawmakers to file multiple anti-Second Amendment bills – all of which we oppose.
In fact this website not only supports an unqualified Second Amendment right, we have called for civil disobedience of any gun law (federal, state or local) infringing upon it.

Straw purchasers and Felons in possession of a firearm should get life without parole. In my mind their intention is clear. Guns aren’t the problem anymore than cars, knives, matches, or baseball bats. The latest shooter, who the MSM is down playing because it doesn’t fit the template, was provided weapons to his felon ass by a fat ass desperate woman who couldn’t buy a date. Where was Cedric Ford’s family when he was posting about depression and videos and pics of the guns everyone knew he couldn’t legally own on his Facebook? No instead lets blame a inanimate object.
Later this evening I’ll post a true narrative about one of my friends in Columbia who was denied but got the situation corrected. It’s a real cool story and hilarious.
Looking foward to it!
Blaming guns for the violence in this country is like blaming spoons, forks and knives for obesity.
But, I guess it is hard to commit suicide with a can of soup.
I dunno, I once had a lobster bisque that made me feel dead inside.
During the months of October and November 2015 three women were discovered drowned in their bathtubs in Topeka, Kansas. The gooey substances in their tubs were determined to be Apple Jacks, Chex, and Grape Nuts. Police concluded that it is the work of a cereal killer.
Good one.
You knew that joke but didn’t want to post it yourself ….. (hah)
Actually, cereal(serial) killer never popped into mind. Your reply was a good catch..
Huh? Last major mass shooting in Dec? What about the Kansas shooting a few days ago – 3 dead, 18 shot or last week the Uber driver, who in between taking fares shot and killed 6 random people and wounded 2 others?
I guessing either those were not massive enough to be a mass or they did not fit the narrative. Typical Republican formula is ignore facts that do not fit the narrative. That’s how after 9-11 we ended up invading the one country in the Middle East that had no connection to the 9-11 terrorists.
