Moonbat Debra Messing In A Mess Over UCLA Shooting Selfie
by Shifra on June 2, 2016Messing deleted the selfie tweet after a firestorm erupted on Twitter. She explained that she was planning the selfie as an anti-gun protest, and was shocked by the “irony” of a shooting that day. But she missed the real irony: UCLA is a gun-free zone. Via Mediaite. Actress Debra Messing apologized Wednesday after seemingly posting a selfie in reaction to the campus shooting in UCLA that left a professor and the gunman dead. Messing tweeted, then deleted, a picture of herself wearing a t-shirt promoting the documentary Under the Gun (itself a source of controversy) shortly after the shooting began…. @DebraMessing People dying…better take a selfie! — Lazarus Stalker (@SaveLazz) June 1, 2016 Ima talk about the senselessness of gun...

FBI: Another Surge in Gun Background Checks
by Tammy on May 4, 2016Thanks Obama and Hillary! Via KTVZ. The year 2016 is still on pace to set a record for background checks for gun purchases, according to new data from the FBI. The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported on Wednesday that there were 2,145,865 background checks in April. That’s the slowest month so far this year, but it’s a 25% increase from April 2015. Background checks in every month this year have made double digit gains over 2015, which had a record number of requests for background checks. If the current pace keeps up, 2016 will beat last year’s record. There’s a strong indication that the April slow-down is a cyclical phenomenon, rather than a sign that the gun craze is over....

by Tammy on May 1, 2016What’s worse, being a jerk burglar getting shot by a kid, or being mocked by him on television after the fact? LOL! Good job, kid! Via Fox 8.

Julianne Moore: Gun Control Is Not A Second Amendment Issue
by Shifra on April 13, 2016Um, ok. And thanks, Julianne, for clearing that up! Via Daily Caller: Julianne Moore is doubling down on her efforts to push for stricter gun control. In an essay published in Lena Dunham’s newsletter Tuesday, the 55-year-old actress encouraged women to join Everytown for Gun Safety. “An average of 91 people a day are killed by gun violence,” Moore wrote. “That includes children killed by random bullets, mass shootings at workplaces and universities, intimate-partner homicides, and suicides.” “Women in the United States are 11 times more likely to be murdered with a gun than women in any other developed nation. More than half are killed by a boyfriend, husband, or someone else in her family.” ….“Because our weak gun-safety laws...

Smith & Wesson Sales Soar Amid Rising Gun-Control Worries
by Tammy on March 3, 2016There are many, many signals about the mood of the American people. I noted on Charles Payne’s Fox Business show this evening that it would be a big mistake for politicians and the political machines to underestimate the American people. How we’re reacting the signals that politicians are still obsessed about disarming us should make it very clear to the system that we remain committed to the entire Constitution, including the 2nd Amendment. Via Reuters, HT Weasel Zippers. Gun maker Smith & Wesson Holding Corp reported a better-than-expected 61 percent jump in quarterly revenue, at a time when the U.S. presidential election campaigns and recent shootings fuel fears of stricter gun laws.

Via CNS News: As part of its fight against President Obama’s “aggressive overreach” on guns, the National Rifle Association is challenging the president to a debate on national television. “I’ll meet you for a one-on-one, one-hour debate, with a mutually agreed-upon moderator, on any network that will take it,” Wayne LaPierre, the NRA’s executive vice president and CEO, said in a video posted on the group’s website. “No pre-screened questions and no gas-bag answers.

Constitutional “Scholar” Joe Biden: Second Amendment Says Schizophrenics Shouldn’t Have Guns
by Shifra on January 12, 2016Well, I am so impressed with the Founding Fathers. All this time, I thought the term “schizophrenia” was coined in the early 1900’s, by Bleuler. Thanks for enlightening us, Joe! Via Breitbart: In an interview that aired on CNN’s “AC360” on Monday, Vice President Joe Biden took on the issue of Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernie Sanders'(I-VT) position on gun control…. “What Bernie Sanders has to do is say that the Second Amendment says — which he has, of late — the Second Amendment says you can limit who can own a gun, that people who are criminals shouldn’t have guns. People who are schizophrenic and have mental illnesses shouldn’t own guns….

by Tammy on December 1, 2015Considering the condition of the world and what politicians have done (and are planning to do) to the country, no wonder we’re exercising our Constitutional right to bear arms.

POTUS: “It’s Easier To Buy A Gun Than A Book”
by Shifra on October 13, 2015Really? Because last time I bought a book at Barnes and Nobles, there was no background check required. Some are claiming that his statement was taken out of context, and that Obama was referring to the lack of bookstores in low-income neighborhoods. But, as RedState notes: How does this excuse his ridiculous statement? What does the lack of a bookstores in low income areas have to do with the ease of which one can buy a gun? This is like saying it is easier for me to get a nuke than it is to get a Burger from In-n-Out since there is a total lack of those restaurants in this region. Via Daily Wire: ….On Saturday, President Obama spoke before...

Video: Ben Carson: ‘Extent Of Holocaust Due To Gun Control’
by Shifra on October 9, 2015Dr. Carson gets it exactly right. And we can expect major Lib head explosions over this one. Via Haaretz: ….In an interview Thursday on CNN, Carson said fewer people would have been killed by the Nazis had more citizens been armed. “I think the likelihood of Hitler being able to accomplish his goals would have been greatly diminished if the people had been armed,” he said. “I’m telling you there is a reason these dictatorial people take the guns first.” CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer was challenging Carson over claims in his latest book that gun control has historically been a predicate for tyranny….

WH Idiocy Alert: ‘Obamacare Helps Prevent Mass Shootings’
by Shifra on October 7, 2015So, is the WH admitting that there are factors, other than the “refusal of Congress” to enact draconian gun laws, that may contribute to mass shootings? Nah, just another “never let a good crisis go to waste” moment. Via The Hill: White House press secretary Josh Earnest on Tuesday said the GOP’s 2016 presidential field could help fight gun violence by pushing for the expansion of Medicaid. “We have heard [Republican White House] candidates talk about an openness to work with the administration on gun violence,” he told reporters during the White House’s daily press briefing. “Many of them talk about improving mental healthcare,” Earnest said. “One of the biggest providers of mental healthcare — especially in disadvantaged communities —...

Dem Strategist: If Parishioners Were Armed, Church Shooting Would’ve Been A Horror
by Shifra on June 22, 2015Bob Shrum, a top campaign strategist for the failed campaigns of John Kerry, John Edwards and Al Gore, actually made that statement. Looks like the real horror is Democrats trying to “not let a good crisis go to waste.” Via Washington Times: It’s hard to imagine how the massacre at the Emanuel AME Church that left nine dead could have been worse, but a top Democratic strategist says the shooting would have been a “horror” if the black parishioners were armed. “Now I cannot imagine the horror that could have occurred if people were sitting around with concealed weapons, this thing started, and you have a full-scale gunfight,” said Democratic advisor Bob Shrum on Friday’s episode of MSNBC’s “The Ed...
