Hickok45 shoots and discusses a Dan Wesson 1911.

How do you make a gun-rights rally more interesting? Well, one way to do it would be to manufacture a firearm during the demonstration — which is exactly what the pro-gun organization Come and Take it Texas plans to do at the Capitol building on Jan. 13, the start of the 2015 legislative session.

From Hickok45, “Slinging big heavy shotgun slugs is one of my very favorite shooting endeavors. If YOU have a shotgun, then you have a really big bore rifle and maybe didn’t even KNOW it.” :-)

Have you watched FRONTLINE’s report on the NRA?

“I’m always buying more guns. I have everything from a Civil War cannon to an MP5 machine gun and old police guns. If someone invades your house, yeah, you can shoot them. I don’t think crazy people should have guns,” wrote Kid Rock in UK’s Guardian.

Yet another example of a good guy with a gun stopping bad people from victimizing innocents.

A Navy veteran and retired police detective in New York state had his pistol permit terminated and his guns confiscated after he received treatment for insomnia.
