By now we all know the story of Elisjsha Dicken breaking a trigger to stop a massacre. “Many more people would have died last night if not for a responsible armed citizen,” said Chief James Isom of the Greenwood, Indiana Police. Although, It did not take long for Shannon Watts of Moms Demand Action to get on Twitter and say,

Lawyers’ Professional Standards Group Promotes Gun Control Over Protecting Rights
How many lawyers does it take to… stop me if you have heard that joke before? Sadly, what the American Bar Association (ABA) has done recently is no laughing matter. Apparently, currying political favor is more important to the ABA than fulfilling its core mission.
KY ‘Red Flag Law’ Protest Triggers Liberal Media
“How many ‘Red Flags’ Do You See in These Photos from Kentucky Gun Owners Swarming the Capitol?” is the headline from Yahoo! News, who shared an Equire post about the protests in Frankfurt on Friday. One thing is certain, the protestors that gathered to oppose a Red Flag Law in KY certainly triggered the liberal … Read more
Dover Legislator Seeks Repeal Of NH Second Amendment
“Over intellect will make you a genius, over emotions will make you a lunatic.” ― Amit Kalantri
Ridding Ourselves of Part First, Article 2A
Dover Democrat Peter B. Schmidt wants to snuff out your constitutional right to keep and bear arms. Representative Schmidt filed LSR#2020-2262 the title of which is,
Establishing a committee to study the repeal or amendment of the New Hampshire constitutional provision for the bearing of arms.
Not so many years ago, Leftists scoffed at 2A advocates and proponents, charging assorted paranoia and other tinfoil-hattery. “Nobody wants to take your guns away,” they arrogantly scoffed. They called us, “Ridiculous.”
The Quest To Override Governor Sununu’s Gun Control Vetoes
Katherine Rogers and her cadre of Gun control freaks in Concord keep spinning yarns about reducing violence by gun control laws. What violence? Where specifically? The Governor vetoed their legislative screed. Now they will try and override that veto.
Yes Indeed. It is pure nonsense. Fiction. A lie made out of whole cloth. The Leftist progressives up in Concord like Katherine Rogers and the Moms Demand Action crowd expect you to buy into that. Hook, line and sinker.
Governor Sununu was correct when he vetoed the three gun bills in Concord. Now the progressives in Concord are rallying the fellow travelers and the known rubber-spined RINOs to override the veto. They do not have the votes. Let us make sure we keep it that way.
More Corporate Virtue Signaling
CVS, Walgreens and Wegmans are the latest corporate #MeToo virtue signalers. On Thursday, September 5, CVS, on their CVSHealth,com site released the following statement:
We support the efforts of individuals and groups working to prevent gun violence, and continually review our policies and procedures to ensure our stores remain a safe environment. We join a growing chorus of businesses in requesting that our customers, other than authorized law enforcement personnel, do not bring firearms into our stores.
These retailers are the latest to divide
Gun Grabbers, Dr Seuss-Style
6 Years ago (May 3, 2013) with a little time on my hands, I wrote this doggerel based on Dr Seuss Books. I thought it might be a welcome side note to all this turmoil we now face.
FUDDS
Fudds are all around us. What is a Fudd? A Fudd is a gun-owner who supports and sometimes advocates for traditional hunting guns but favors gun controls and the banning of other guns such as handguns, tactical rifles, standard capacity magazines. These people misguidedly call said magazines, “high capacity” because they hold more than ten rounds.
These Democrats in Concord are Numb Nuts
Right now, the Granite State is under siege from a barrage of gun control measures presently under consideration in the legislature. Gun control measures that are more reflective of states like Massachusetts, California, Maryland, Illinois and New York City. There is a bill for Universal Background checks (ah, but they do not call it that because they are liars). There is a seven-day waiting period bill and worst of all, a red flag law bill.
Dr Seuss and Gun Grabbers
You can not, shall not have a gun, This banning craze has just begun… Guns and bullets make me ill, Pass the Kool-Aid if you will… You don’t really need a gun, From violent criminals you can run! And when the violent felons come … You have scissors, but don’t you run! And to defenseless … Read more
The Gun Maker’s Exodus Part II
“The number one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S.” —That “Happy Warrior”Vice-President Joseph Biden
That is what he said…and without much credibility because we know that vice president Biden is a stupid person. Alas, the “Happy Warrior.” This quote is instructive, because on the one hand, vapid lip service is given to the importance of job creation, yet a legal…constitutional activity…gun manufacturing is under siege in the nation. But Joe and his cadre soldiers on…Perhaps he can join Charlie for a visit to Candy Mountain.
Several states, also home to major manufacturers of firearms, have undertaken legislative initiatives
The Gun Industry’s Exodus
“Ideas are more powerful than guns. We would not let our enemies have guns, why should we let them have ideas.” —Joseph Stalin
On Saturday, a Union Leader Editorial entitled, “Grabbing gun makers NH’s big opportunity” posited the question, “So why is the state not aggressively pursuing these companies and the jobs they would bring with them?” The UL editorial named
And Now For the Ammunition Ban
“If there are twelve clowns in a ring, you can jump in the middle and start reciting Shakespeare, but to the audience, you’ll just be the thirteenth clown” —Adam Walinsky
We’ve talked a great deal these past months about a potential gun grab. What went sleepliy unnoticed was Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy’s legislation introduced in July of last year, a bill to make the sale of ammunition “safer for law-abiding Americans” who are sick and tired of the ease with which criminals can now anonymously stockpile ammunition for [sic] mass murder.
Australia Gun Control Report Card
Insanity in individuals is something rare – but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule. —Friedrich Nietzsche
I am a member of a group on LinkedIn called “Hunting, Fishing and Outdoor Professionals.” In a discussion thread the question was asked, “How do you feel about the banning of AR’s and 30 round clips?”
Nobody defended the current administration’s advocacy for their so-called “assault weapons” ban. In fact all posting are against further measures. It is also important to note that the members of this group do not come strictly from the U.S., as there
Buffalo Wild Wings Refuses Service to Police Officers…Because They were Armed
Nonsense is so good only because common sense is so limited. —George Santayana
Welcome to the UK! no, just kidding…actually, one might have thought this joint was in the UK. This food chain would not serve armed Police Officers.
MANASSAS, VA — Eight police officers were refused service at Buffalo Wild Wings on Wednesday, apparently because they had their weapons displayed. As Reported in the Thin Blue line, Eight Prince William County Police officers on duty, but in plain clothes, walked into the Buffalo Wild Wings located near Wellington Road and Market Street, but were refused service by an employee who
What If There Were A Governmental Fee Imposed For Going “Unarmed?”
“If people in the media cannot decide whether they are in the business of reporting news or manufacturing propaganda, it is all the more important that the public understand that difference, and choose their news sources accordingly.” —Thomas Sowell
First, there is this story: “Rep Fred Maslack sponsored a bill to register “non-gun-owners” and require them to pay a $500 fee to the state. Thus Vermont would become the first state to require a permit for the luxury of going about unarmed and assess a fee of $500 for the privilege of not owning a gun.”
So there it is. Once again, it is taking flight around the internet as if this is recent news. But…In all reality, Maslack proposed the bill in 2001. Yep! Maslack has not been in the Vermont house for over ten years. This a great story…grabs some real traction
Gratuitous Liberal Cowardice
“Heckling is an act of cowardice. If you want to speak, get up in front of the microphone and speak, don’t sit in the dark hiding. It’s easy to hide and shout and waste people’s time.” —Billy Connolly
Ben Sarro, morning host of WNTK FM 99.7 related to me an anonymous e-mail he received from a listener. Ben had Jenn Coffey on this morning from the Second Amendment Sisters. From the context of the e-mail…sent anonymously, the discussion likely encompassed self-protection and police response times.
“You both made comments about people who live too far from police coverage and how risky it is for them to be safe when the police are so far away. To me, this felt like fear mongering. How many times does this happen really? Are there documented cases in New Hampshire of people calling the police for protection,

More Liberal Lies About Background Checks
“A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” —Mark Twain
Since January, Gun Grabbers have been tossing numbers around in support of why we need universal background checks. President Obama parroted the talking point back in January stating, “As many as 40 percent of guns are purchased without a background check.”
The New York Times, USA Today, The LA Times, the Washington Post, The Brady Campaign, and a whole host of others have repeatedly made the claim. On January 24, however, Professor John Lott, in writing for
