    Congressmen worry about people with guns around the President

    Another explanation? Call me a "conspiracy theorist", but there are some who claim to be "in the know" who say there was no hooker scandal -- that what there was was a planned coup d'etat against Obama in Colombia by elements of his Secret Service detail. The attempt was quashed, but the...

    Ted Nugent; hurting the cause?

    Jorg wrote: Having followed this thread, I have to conclude that to assume this forum is populated by "die-hard gun nuts" is a real stretch. It's even a stretch to assume that this forum is populated by people whose thoughts and opinions are informed by much of anything other than the...

    Ted Nugent; hurting the cause?

    Nushif wrote: Absolutely! So, you're saying there's no grounds for comparison? As if one cannot learn from history? Oh, that's verboten, isn't it? Even when my point was not so much about Hitler as about "waiting for the next election"? What's so "neo" about my values? And do you...

    Ted Nugent; hurting the cause?

    BSA1 wrote: Yup. Back then most folks probably said, "Don't make waves." And they stuck their heads right back in the sand. Just like folks today who say "It can't happen here" and "one president, no matter how bad, can't destroy America". When Hitler was elected (Yes, he was elected!), his...

    Coming out as a gun owner

    A sad tale of an attempted "conversion"... I was once highly infatuated with a woman with whom I had a number of important ethnic and intellectual factors in common.
