Well, it’s Independence Day 2017. Usually as it’s just the halfway point of the calendar year, I like to take stock of what’s taken place in the 2A community, and in our world as a whole. The Big thing of course is a President who is supposedly has committed himself to fixing this country’s ills. Next was that this President appointed a former Marine General as Secretary of Defense, and a former Navy Seal as Secretary of the Interior who rode to his first day of work on a horse, then repealed that stupid lead ammo ban!

But make no mistake folks, the Anti-rights crowd still wants to keep you from enjoying your firearms, keep you from Hunting if you so desire, keep you from carrying a handgun for personal protection, and keep you from having a firearms for protection in your home, and in your car.

So it’s up to you to be vigilant. It’s up to you to support candidates who will protect our rights, because it doesn’t happen without you.

You need to call your Senators and Congressmen because they are elected to enact laws that WE want enacted, not to “vote their feelings” on laws. Not to live in fancy houses and claim that $174,000 a year is not enough money to live on when were about to hit 20 Trillon in debt.

After Congressman Scalise was shot, another Congressman introduced a bill that would allow any Member of either house if they so desired, to carry a handgun for protection, even in DC. So I Say, “WHAT ABOUT ME” why can’t the “Average American” who has a CCW permit in his home state, have the ability to carry anywhere in the United States? Well that Bill, H.R. 38 sits not in Committee, but in Sub-Committee!!

To say that I’m outraged is putting it mildly. Did we not elect a Pro-Firearm majority House and Senate? I thought we did it so we could fix the country as the President promised. Not for the Liberal whiners to screw it up. Chuck Schumer and his stupid actress/comedy hack cousin Amy can prattle on all they want, but we have control of the country at least until 2020 and we better get off our rear ends or we will give control of our country back to the Socialists!

This is how I get when I don’t get to shoot! I’m recovering from a concussion back at the end of April, where I also broke a bone in my wrist of my shooting hand, so with my 57^th Birthday approaching, I’m looking forward to getting down to my indoor range to shoot (Shameless plug approaching) since we’re entering our 21^st day of +100 degree temps, and the only climate controlled, six 25 yard pistol lane, 4 100 yard rifle lane Shooting Range (also 50 yard Archery range!) is Copper Star Indoor Shooting range in Camp Verde Arizona. Sometimes I like Indoor ranges like this one because you can almost duplicate a situation like what you might encounter at your house during a home invasion.

Family run, Veteran owned businesses like this are important to our

Industry, so during the warmer months I like to get there every 10-14 days. The shop reminds me of the shop my Uncle was a part owner of in the 1960’s and 70’s. I hope you get to shoot this summer. Please observe the 4 safety rules. A few weeks ago I got to be a guest panelist on the Polite Society Podcast, with Paul & Susan Lathrop, Rob Morse, Rachel Malone, and others. I also host my own Podcast, Firearms Chat. Both can be found on iTunes, Facebook, and both, along with several other shows, can be found on Self Defense Radio Network at Selfdefenseradio.net and my show is Firearmschat.com and our show is approaching our 4^th anniversary. We look forward to you checking us out! Thanks.

Just excerpt, but one of the best narrated/read versions of the Declaration of Independence.

Happy Fourth of July. Make it loud but be safe.

MIAMI – Florida’s revised “stand your ground” law is unconstitutional, a Miami judge ruled Monday. Miami-Dade County Judge Milton Hirsch ruled that lawmakers overstepped their authority by revising the self-defense law, putting the burden of proof on prosecutors.

According to Ballotpedia, “Hirsch, a Chicago native, worked as a CPA before receiving his J.D. degree from the Georgetown University Law Center. He currently serves as an adjunct professor at the University of Miami.”

I am speechless. How can this individual can sit on a bench and say stuff like that without fear of being tagged as a moron and removed for cause? If he cannot understand the principle of Separation of Powers, he does not need to wear the black robe.

The larger issue at stake is how morally abhorrent it is to allow a bunch of bureaucrats to wield their power over individuals and give them ultimate say over individuals’ life and death!

It’s downright evil.

I can’t describe it any other way.

The Europeans have always been very good at the execution of innocents by committee or regulation, and they excel at mass production of death. Cases like this is why I do not take any shit from smarmy EU assholes who give me crap about the death penalty in the US.

At least our Death Row inmates have done some egregious crime that society has deemed intolerable and decided that the culpable party no longer deserves to live. And still takes over a decade of well fed, well cared life before we put the sucker on a stretcher and shove a needle up his arm.

Charlie Gard will not make it to his first birthday.

Hillary 2.0 wrote some article under this silly title:

If I recall correctly, the only thing that you were forced to buy or risk being penalized was Obamacare. And of course, if you refused to pay the penalty (tax) , the government would sent Tax Men with guns to have you arrested.

Transference much?
