    Second Amendment out-of-date?

    Yeah, I found this while browsing news. I didn't realise it was so old. But either way, it's good to know how the antis think. I am of the opinion that Heller was overall a VERY bad thing for gun owners. The SCOTUS has essentially paved the way to regulate guns out of existance...the...

    16 Illegals Sue Arizona Rancher

    Always. All people have civil rights (AKA "inalienable"). But I'm pretty sure that filing lawsuits against people that haven't broken any laws isnt one of them.

    16 Illegals Sue Arizona Rancher

    His lawyer made a big mistake asserting this. The supreme court has ruled that foreign nationals, both illegal and legal, do indeed have inherent, inalienable rights. But those rights do NOT include trespassing on private land in order to enter the US illegally. :banghead: Oh, man, I missed...

    Young Marines Student Suspended......edited

    I think if enough people raised hell about this, it might do some good. Time for a bit of activism... http://www.cths.ccsd.k12.co.us/documents/admin.html

    Another Isolated Incident...*Because* He Was a (Legal) Gun Owner

    Is the so-called drug war "needed"? Because I'd bet a VAST majority of raids are done in the name of saving people from themselves...

    heads up: fake pro gun sites now on the net

    I hear this all the time and usually when pressed to name a more important issue they say something unbelievably stupid like "gay marriage" or "abortion 'rights'". These may very well BE issues, but they are hardly more important. To me, the 2nd amendment is and probably always will be the...

    Join the NRA

    Well, if you knew me you'd know I don't easily end discussions :) ...but you and some others make some compelling arguments and I am now looking at the membership info I got with my new Ruger .357 and thinking about sending it in.

    Join the NRA

    The NRA-ILA is merely the lobbying arm of the NRA and they are indeed in part funded by them. I would say calling them "very different" is a stretch, IMHO... http://www.nraila.org/About/PoliticalVictoryFund/

    Conspiracy, tin foil hats, and me.

    Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I have definitely met people that have seemed to have gone off the deep end but I also know many people that are positions to know things and when I say "things" I don't mean stuff they or I read on the internet. Keep in mind this forum is part of the internet...

    Join the NRA

    Awesome. Keep in mind, I don't mean to come off like I want people to ignore what happens on a federal level. I just believe that if people got more involved on a local level, it could very well make the fight at the federal level much easier. We are pushing the local govt here in Nashville to...

    Join the NRA

    Thank you for being cordial. I am not saying the NRA hasn't done SOME good and doesn't have the potential to do even more. I know many members and have supported some of their efforts in the past. But I simply cannot STAND how they have been turned into a sacred cow that reflects the current...

    Join the NRA

    Hum. See, you have now proven my point. Questioning a group whose very first actions were to ENACT gun control is heresy it seems. I'll say it again, I think many people believe the NRA is more sacred than the actual amendment. Right, "you're new here" means "you don't know what you are talking...

    Join the NRA

    No, "going local", which most people fail to do, is THE BEST way to enact change seeing that most of the egregious gun control measures happen on a LOCAL AND STATE LEVEL. Now, I understand the problems on the federal level with the BATF and Clinton AWB and whatnot, but one of the reasons we are...

    Join the NRA

    I believe the NRA has failed us on more than one front. Just my opinion. I would suggest joining the JPFO or GOA & THEN ALSO start your own, local, INDEPENDENT gun rights group to put pressure on LOCAL officials. Go local.

    Attention Clip Nazis!

    That is assuming that Godwin's Law is anything more than an empty elitist buzzphrase created to deflect criticism that many times is warranted. Note it is largely liberals that employ the term. They seek to distance their flavor of world "democratic" socialism from the nationalistic...
