Coos County “Common Sense”?

October 28, 2024

by Steve MacDonald

There’s a PAC running ads in New Hampshire to keep those dangerous MAGA Republicans out of the New Hampshire House. It’s the dumbest bit of tripe I’ve ever seen. It mentions guns and gun laws twice (if I recall), one in general and one related to schools. There is no context, including the absence of … Read more

October 13, 2024

by Steve MacDonald

The absurdity of liberal privilege continues to run amuck. No, not the jet-setting, globe-hopping, carbon-emitting elites who leap continents in a single bound to deny you affordable, reliable (safe) transportation at home. It isn’t Tech Goons like Eric Schmidt or Bill Gates who argue that the gigatons of emissions necessary to run AI are essential … Read more

If you want to talk about red flags, why are Democrats constantly looking for ways to get people to snitch on family, friends, and neighbors? From the Obama Truth Squads to COVID informants to this.

MA Law to Allow Non-Residents to Carry a Firearm in Their Vehicle Looks Like a Trap

September 23, 2024

by Steve MacDonald

The otherwise intolerant and intolerable State of Massachusetts amended its firearms laws over the summer. It might have been the heat (more likely the lawsuits) that inspired them, but they managed to cough up H4885, “An Act modernizing firearm laws.” Aside from being an overly long mess, it allows nonresidents to travel through the state armed … Read more

Surgeon General: Firearm Violence is an Urgent Public Health Crisis

July 23, 2024

by Steve MacDonald

Just days before Biden’s catastrophic debate debacle on CNN, his surgeon general, Vivek Murthy, issued an announcement. Gun violence is a public health threat. I’d call it a logistical move, but almost no one noticed, and before the Friday News Dump arrived, Joe’s “performance issues” were all anyone wanted to discuss. Murthy’s grand gesture got … Read more

Massholes Banning Firearms

July 21, 2024

by Steve MacDonald

The Massachusetts legislature just passed sweeping firearms reform legislation- a tossed salad of failed progressive interventions in the name of public safety.

Biden agrees: Government must be disarmed

July 16, 2024

by Ian Underwood

In his address from the Oval Office regarding the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, Joe Biden agreed with the points I made in my previous post about America’s gun problem.

What if Parents ask Gun-Related Questions, Comrade Mrs Newman?

May 4, 2024

by Julie Smith

My reps and two-time opponents, Comrades Mr & Mrs Newman, have a history of ignoring emails. Normally, I don’t email them, but my personal email history with them started in October 2021 following the executive council arrests. With them and the Damn Emperor being on opposite sides of the aisle (on paper, at least), I mistakenly thought conversation could be had about that incident.

January 23, 2024

by Ian Underwood

Apparently, a man in St. Paul, Minnesota, was playing basketball in the gym of his local school on Family Night when his gun ‘went off,’ shooting him in the leg. As those of you who have been following the adventures of Alec Baldwin know, a gun doesn’t just ‘go off’. Someone has to pull the trigger.
