Gun Nuts Media

There, I said it. I have been trying really hard to not just say what I think about this guy, but in light of his most recent comments on rural gun owners, I’ve pretty much had it.

“There are a whole bunch of folks in small towns in Pennsylvania, in towns right here in Indiana, in my home town in Illinois, who are bitter. They are angry… So I said, well ya know, when you’re bitter, you turn to what you can count on. So people, ya know they vote about guns or they take comfort from their faith, and their family, and their community, and they get mad about illegal immigrants who are coming over to this country, or they get frustrated about how things are changing. That’s a natural response.”

Screw you buddy. Notice how in this statement he equates taking refuge and comfort from your family, community, and faith is tantamount to being a bitter racist. You know what? Indiana’s primary is an open primary you elitist bastard, and you’ve managed to piss me off so much that I’m actually considering a vote for Hillary. Do you have any idea how angry I’d have to be to want to vote for her?

Just so I’m clear, when I “take comfort from my faith” it’s a bad thing, but when you attend a racist, bigoted church for 20 years it’s totally okay because your grandmother was a racist?

Check out today’s podcast on Buy-a-Gun Day. It’s covering the different types of firearms I’m recommending, as well as a few that I’m interested in. Remember, BAG Day is tomorrow so support your sport!

I was engaging in my 2nd favorite activity in Las Vegas, which is wandering around Bass Pro Shop and looking at guns that I can’t buy because I’m from Indiana.

I do need a gun safe for back home…I wonder what shipping is on one of those.

I suppose that in light of John Kerry stunts in ’04 combined with Obama’s recent statements about how gun owners are “bitter” that it was inevitable that Hillary would end up trying to play herself as a “lifelong shooter”.

“You know, my dad took me out behind the cottage that my grandfather built on a little lake called Lake Winola outside of Scranton and taught be how to shoot when I was a little girl,” she said.

Of course, she then touted her husband’s signing of the Assault Weapons Ban as her being tough on crime.

The most interesting thing about this is that it shows how powerful the pro-gun vote is – that the Democratic candidate with a history of being against the right to keep and bear arms is now pandering and desperately trying to win over that voting block.

It most definitely is.  I believe 2008 is either going to be the year we will look back on as the pivotal year that sent the gun control movement to join the temperance movement in the dungeon of political irrelevance, or it will be the year when gun owners snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.  Which path we take is entirely up to us.

From Sebastian, commenting on Chris Cox’s belief that 2008 is going to the pivotal election year for gun owners.

I was on the fence about whether the TSA’s silly rules about FFDO carry had caused the negligent discharge that everyone’s been talking about, until I saw this video.

The holster that you see is actually pretty similar to belt holster I use for regular carry, and I have managed to undo the retention strap on accident with my elbow while driving.  The set of circumstances that you see in the video really aren’t all that far-fetched.
