Ever notice how when guns are used in crimes they are NOT the ones purchased leally. They are the the stolen ones sold on the street corner.

Comment on Another Hip Hop Artist Faces Gun Charges by dirty

Maybe, Just maybe the guns were not in his vehicle when the cops pulled him over. Seems kinda coincidental that just before getting back on his feet that cops make a “routine” stop and o you have three guns and two and stolen. WTH would a rapper do with two stolen guns when he already owns one? Do you people even think before writing? We are talking about the south here. This is not the first time a rapper been put in jail down south for having a weapon, a hum…PIMP-C. BG has been in New Orleans for almost a decade since his record label and him split. And that whole time, he never was convicted of anything. Don’t you think it odd that once they make amends, all at once the 5-0 shows up? But to your ignorant eyes, I guess it was just a coincidence. Ever wonder why Cash Money left New Orleans? Or why No Limit…is the past? You think that is all just coincidence also? Police will have to do better, they have to have B.G.’s prints not he guns to have anything stick. Right now, its his word vs. theirs.

hello Tom,
i was wondering if you found out any more information on your 1941 with a scope. Mine has a weaver kv scope on it and need information. I also have the original sight minus the ramp. Any documentation on the “sniper scope” would be greatly appreciated.

The WWI Museum has a traveling display going around the country. It was in Orange County, CA on Saturday and Company members Earl Robinson and Mark Kasal, with his 4-year old grandson Brandon in toe, visited it while it was at the Lyon Air Museum at John Wayne Airport. Check the museum’s website to see where the display will be next.

Comment on New Civil Rights Movement Offers Shameful Headline; Misleading Facts by Gunowning Liberal (Truth)

I will agree with you that there is very biased anti-gun reporting in the media… however, I would also remind you that there are plenty of “articles” (it seems the people in our country have a hard time distinguishing between a journalists report and a blog) that lean the other way and try to scare people into believing that having a handgun in your home is necessary for your families safety. This in fact is not true. As a matter of fact I think even the most right wing gun advocates would agree that people who don’t know guns should not go buying them for “self defense”. To many times this just ends in greater tragedy. It seems to me that the critical element that is missing in all of this “Gun Debating” is education. To many people simply don’t know about guns, and people are scared of what they don’t know.

Unfortunately, I don’t have all the time in the world to research the information on deaths by “someone with a gun” and the only number I could come up with was roughly 9,500 (seems pretty close to the 10,000 sited by the other article to me). If you have sources with smaller numbers than this I would enjoy taking a look at them, for curiosities sake.

With regard to President Obama being anti-gun and “working on gun control but ‘under the radar’” all I can do is remind you and your readers that there is a House of Representatives and a Senate that must vote on any legislation before the President can sign it into law. Fortunately for the US, we currently have a fairly bi-partisan group between those two units and NO gun control law that includes “taking our guns away” (as I hear so many people put it) is going to get through our current House of Reps.

I will also agree with your statement that their title is misleading, however, after following links from the Think Progress excerpt and reading what some states are trying to pass (allowing teachers to keep concealed weapons in the classroom for instance) I am quite unnerved. I don’t live in any of the states mentioned (thank goodness) and I will tell you that if my state does try to lift the ban on firearms on school grounds I will fight that legislation tooth and nail. Guns do not belong in the schools or anywhere on their grounds…

The reality is, gun control is NOT a hot issue. It is a talking point when it comes time for election, and something the media blows up whenever there is an unfortunate tragedy. Our right to own firearms had already been upheld by the Supreme Court. That amendment is not going anywhere any faster that the right to free speech, and aren’t we all happy about that.

I spend my discussions about gun control with my fellow liberals advocating for education. Guns are not scary; ask my 5 and 7 year olds. They love them.

We did link to the article in the first sentence, and we do want our readers to view the article in its entirety.

As for President Obama, he did hold a White House summit on “reasonable gun control,” and he did tell Sarah Brady he was working on gun control but “under the radar.” That seems to suggest to us that he is very much anti-gun.

We also had posted recently, and perhaps we should have again, that deaths by firearms has dropped out of the top 15 causes of death in the United States. The article we cited suggested that “looser gun laws” would see this number increase. This clearly isn’t the case.

But thank you for the comments. We encourage a dialog on the issue of truth when it comes to guns. We don’t claim to be perfect, but that article was just one example of very biased anti-gun reporting in the media.

I find it interesting that you attack excerpts from this article without actually linking to it (we wouldn’t want your readers to view the article in its entirety; this might undermine your attacks). Not only that, but your main point seems to be that they were in accurate and opinion based… yet all you do is argue that they are wrong. You made no corrections using factual data and your article (not blog since you claim to be a journalist?) is purely opinion based as well. Interesting, no? I took the liberty of reading your next post down and let’s just say that people like you don’t do this country any service. No one has made an attempt to take our guns away from us in years… not since BEFORE President Obama took office. His administration has not made any statement for gun control, yet instead of giving him credit for this you find a pathetic reason to slam him – after all, he didn’t make any statements against it either, did he?

Ridiculous, misleading, and uninformative – that is my bottom line OPINION of your site and the “articles” contained in it.

Does the constitution say anything about only having a gun in your home?
More liberal bull!
Vote republican or we will have a majority of liberal judges on our Supreme Court
