MacDonald: Dems Didn’t Want Guns In Bars But Bar Drinks On the Street is a Winner

June 4, 2025 Steve MacDonald

Democrat cities with crime problems are forever making excuses while claiming to seek remedies. Their solutions inevitably make matters worse because the problem is Democrats. If you want more crime, elect them and keep them. Burlington, Vermont, has a crime problem because of “Democrats.” They defunded the police in 2020/2021, invited the homeless, illegals, and … Read more

America has a gun problem

July 16, 2024 Ian Underwood

The recent attempt on the life of Donald Trump shows that America has a gun problem, and we can’t avoid dealing with it any longer. The problem is that the government has guns, which it is willing to use to allow whatever temporary majority holds power to exert nearly total control over everyone else. Why … Read more

Seriously, Second Amendment Haters – What Percentage of Gun Crimes Are Committed By …

August 8, 2023 Skip

There are a lot of numbers and stats out there, as well as gun-grabbing groups spouting “White Extremist!” and “Right Wing!” as soon as news of another mass shooting flashes across the Left-leaning Mainstream Media.

Sorry Joe, Guns are Not the Leading Cause of Death among Children

July 16, 2023 Steve MacDonald

One of the pillars of the Democrat party is ending the lives of children: abortion, mutilation, and pharmacological transitions, which lead to more suicides. I don’t think Democrats like kids unless, by that, you mean standing on their bodies or their graves to accumulate campaign wealth and political power.

Palate Cleanser – “Rounds Spent on This Must Have Cost More Than I Can Ever Dream Of Earning…”

December 6, 2022December 6, 2022 Skip

I was mesmerized by the number of dollar bills going down range. I know that I couldn’t afford it, but I could certainly giggle over it – Quad Miniguns on a WW II anti-aircraft turret. Just WOW!

All Semi-Automatic Firearms, Joe? How Are You Going to Pull That Off?

November 30, 2022November 30, 2022 Skip

Is anyone else getting tired of Dementia Joe’s schtick as he seems to pivot to be the mouthpiece of every Left-leaning trope that has ever existed? Part of me wants to believe that he really believes in all of this but his speechifying makes me think, like many others, that he’s being fed lines that … Read more

Quick Thought – He’s Right, You Know

November 29, 2022 Skip

Loyal reader Matt is always sending me stuff – posts from elsewhere as well as a lot of memes; I can only use a small fraction of it but enjoy seeing it come in.

What if You Held a Vigil…and Nobody Came?

October 8, 2022 Rick Notkin

I shouldn’t have to critique the story on the anti-hate vigil in Laconia (Laconia Daily Sun 10-4-22), but there are too many falsehoods. With apologies to Tom Lehrer: I just hate vigils like that. On one hand, people can gather all they want. Enjoy the fellowship. On the other hand, the thought that these sorts … Read more

I Could Have Just Summed It Up, “NEA Is Shutting Down Explorations of Safety: Attacking 2nd Amendment

October 1, 2022September 30, 2022 Skip

NH State Rep Melissa Litchfield is being attacked by the NEA for suggesting an LSR (a precursor / placeholder for an actual bill) that would allow a School District, as she states below, to allow school staff to be trained to handle firearms and then District to store “First Responder” firearms to use in case … Read more

Data Point – Gun Sales Still Holding High

September 4, 2022 Skip

Yes, gun sales have fallen from their 2020 all time highs but the last two years are nothing to sneer at either. They are still well above any other previous years as measured by NICS (National Instant Criminal Background Check System) requests which most States use when someone purchases a gun (or several guns at … Read more

Data Point: Gun Production Has Tripled Since 2000

So much for the gun control-istas, eh? They are just SO disappointed that most of us are listening to their message that we should just let Government “protect” us: (H/T: Statista)

Survival Sunday

November 15, 2024July 17, 2022 NITZAKHON

Nitzakhon Note: This got very long and IMHO it’s becoming daunting to read in one go. After this one I’m going to, as length demands, start doing two such posts a week when it is called for. The Sunday one will be this full one, and then if necessary I’ll do a hump day one which will be just new articles but will have a linkback to the Sunday one. So, for example, below you will find permanent links to books, etc., while the mid-week one will omit those. Unless people comment they want to keep them in both.

Bonus Meme Overflow-overflow

July 15, 2022 NITZAKHON

OK.

I had MONDAY MEMES and a Meme Overflow. But lately I’ve gotten so many that I’m having to offload some on Friday.

Meme Overflow

July 12, 2022 NITZAKHON

As promised in the last Monday Memes, I have an overflow. My meme cup runneth over. So much over I may do a “late week” memefest “overflow overflow”. 🙂

But we’ll see.

Survival Sunday

July 3, 2022 NITZAKHON

This is a very foreshortened Survival Sunday as I’ve gotten out of the hospital just yesterday. Going in for what I hoped would be a quick turnaround, well, it wasn’t… and like most hospitals stays it was anything but restful. Thus data & link collection were enormously curtailed. Fortunately, I am better but now have … Read more

A Tale of Two Shootings

June 26, 2022June 25, 2022 Steve MacDonald

The week of May 22, 2022, there were two mass firearm assaults. One in Uvalde, Texas I am sure you are all aware of – 19 children and 2 adults dead. The second, Charleston, West Virginia, you would probably never have heard of except for this editorial.
