It’s certainly nothing new when a member of the GOP decides to totally disrespect President Obama in an outrageous way. It practically happens every day of the week, 24/7 and 365 days a year. But what Texas Governor Greg Abbott tweeted out recently in response to the President’s planned executive action on guns–to increase background […]
The NRA is forever telling us that a good guy with a gun is the antidote to a bad guy with a gun. In Texas, where everyone seems to be locked, loaded, and spoiling for a fight, how are you supposed to know the difference? Now a 6-year-old girl lies in the hospital, shot in […]
Proving yet again just how deeply in the pocket of the National Rifle Association (NRA) the Republican Party truly is, GOP members of the Virginia General Assembly are proposing bills to completely eliminate all bodyguards or other forms of protection from Democratic Governor Terry McMcAuliffe simply because he happens to be in favor of sensible […]
Well, well. Looks like the NRA is getting a big lump of coal under its Christmas tree this year courtesy of a judge in Washington state. It couldn’t happen to a more deserving collection of gun nuts. Tuesday, King County Superior Court Judge Palmer Robinson refused to grant a request by gun rights groups that […]
A Wisconsin GOP state senator is being accused of calling for a “vigilante uprising” after he said that gun owners need to “clean our society of scumbags.” While discussing a recent shooting at East Towne Mall in Madison, Republican Senator Bob Gannon said the incidentmight have been averted if more people carried guns. In that shooting, […]

The good old National Rifle Association (NRA) is ever so fond of claiming that guns don’t kill as many people on an annual basis as automobiles do, and yet no one calls for car control. It’s a neat little argument, and it has now become total and undeniable bullshit. On Thursday, it was reported that […]
Sim Sangha is a 24-year-old firearms instructor from Fremont, California. She recently went to Dick’s Sporting Goods and asked an employee there about purchasing eight boxes of ammunition for her AR-15 rifle. That’s the same kind of gun used by the terrorist attackers in San Bernardino earlier this month. Two days later, police showed up at […]
Take a good look at the picture you see above this story. This man is James Tracy, and he’s a professor at Florida Atlantic University (FAU). And, it should be noted, he is also what is known as a Sandy Hook truther. You see, this ignorant piece of fecal matter thinks the Sandy Hook massacre, […]
Despite the recent attacks in California which killed 14 and may well have been terrorist acts, the United States Senate still found it necessary to vote down a bill which would have made it illegal for anyone on the terrorist watch list to purchase a firearm. Why did the GOP-controlled Senate not advance the bill? […]
