11 Year old Girl with Pink Rifle Stops Burglary

How would this story have ended if she didn't have access to a firearm? That is a question the anti-gun people will avoid answering!

 

Common sense tells us how this story could have ended, if the anti-gun people had it their way.  We CAN'T allow them to take away our right to self defense.  JOIN THE NRA TODAY!

Gun Free Zone

Could it be that the anti-gun people are right?  Is ensuring your safety, and the safety of your loved ones as simple as declaring your home (and any other place you happen to be) a gun free zone?

With the cooperation of criminals, this idea might just work.  But, for those of you who aren't convinced, you may want to do what you can to support the Second Amendment.

Free AK-47 with Car Purchase

What do you think about a car dealership that offers a free AK-47 with a car purchase?  That is exactly what Max Motors did a couple years ago.  Of course, they don't just hand over an AK.  Instead, they give a voucher that can be cashed in at a local gun shop.  So, all the appropriate paper work is completed.

As you watch this interview, see if you think the CNN anchor is a bit anti-gun.  Either way, I think the owner of Max Motors did a great job representing those of us who support the Second Amendment.

Ron Paul on Guns

I generally stay away from political discussion on this blog.  But, I read/heard the following quote from Ron Paul and thought it was interesting.

If you are like me, you have a lot of research to do before election time.  For more info on Ron Paul, visit RonPaul.com

Dad Waves at the Bus

Ok... this story has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with guns.  But, I think it is a great story.

As a summary.... A really good humored dad decided to do something a little special for his teenage son.  So, every day, he stands in the front yard and waves as his son's school bus drives by.  Yeah, that alone would have been embarrassing for most of us.  BUT, this dad takes it too a whole new level.  Each day, he wears a different costume.

What do I think of this?... I think it is AWESOME!  The only thing that bothers me is that I didn't think of it first.



Want to learn more about this family?  Of course there is a Wave at the Bus web site!

Let me make a correction... I said this story has nothing to do with guns.  I guess that isn't technically true.  As you read the Wave at the Bus website, you will find that Dad used to own a paintball gun store.  That is how he got a lot of his camo outfits.

Bigfoot and Guns REVEALED

This video is going to answer a lot of questions for a lot of people.  For me, it answered two questions that have weighed heavily on my mind:

1.  Does Bigfoot exist?

2.  If Bigfoot DOES exist, where does he stand on the Second Amendment?



Is Bigfoot an NRA Member?  Well, I can't say for sure.  But, if he enjoys having those great guns, and enjoys having the right to shoot them, he better be!  Are you?  If not, PLEASE JOIN THE NRA NOW.
