Anti-gun-rights crusaders keep calling for new and improved background checks. You know why. They dance in the blood of victims, using tragedy to manipulate for their goals. It’s what they do. Bottom line, they don’t want checks, they want all the guns.

Northam has been threatening to declare a state of emergency for days, and it culminates what has been the worst slander against lawful gun owners in recent memory.

The proposal – HB 569, introduced by Democrat Delegate Dan Helmer, would give the Commonwealth’s Attorney General Mark Herring unilateral say over which states to allow reciprocity in Virginia and which states he could now disallow.

So why do we continue to hear these claims of murderous attackers dropped like 2-foot putts by cops and private citizens who appear to possess sidearms from Thor’s hammer factory?

Though I’ve owned and enjoyed a pistol-grip Mossberg 500 for many years, no other firearm I’ve ever handled more brutally and thoroughly drives home the fact that true point-shooting is a heck of a lot harder than the average person would think.

I know, I know … shooting, as the cat pictures on the Internet would put it, IZ SRS BZNS. But suppose you could do some fun shooting and have it reinforce the serious stuff?

Too much of our population has been snowed into believing that if we disarm the innocent, criminals will be controlled, government will turn nice, and peace will reign.

“I don’t like being discriminated against like this, particularly on a legal product. It really sucks, to be honest. It doesn’t make sense. Why would they want kids to die?”

Some believe that any shooter who doesn’t reload is a fool; others believe that their time is worth more than the money they might save reloading.
