I completely understand and support the idea of doing something if it works to solve a problem without causing another, and you can take that statement to the bank. Heck, I believe anyone with common sense should feel free to make that statement. How can I feel ok saying that, knowing that it can be used by a left-winger to push his or her cause? Well first of all, they never get anything to work; and secondly, their “solutions” have a nasty habit of causing more problems. Read the rest of this entry »

Sometimes, the best way to handle a potential problem is to avoid it altogether. Firearms should not be seen as a potential cause of distress; as long as proper care is taken to avoid an accident, a firearms will serve as a safe, reliable tool. Here at Firearms Fax, we know gun owners and we know gun safety. Read on to learn more… Read the rest of this entry »
Being a Good Example
Jun 26
If you are considering the carrying of a concealed handgun, be sure to understand that you are in a position to do one of two things: create a positive example of a law-abiding gun owner, or provide more fodder for the relentless attack on gun rights by the liberal media. The best way to be the former is to simply follow some common sense, and you should be good to go. Read the rest of this entry »
Do you know why the liberals tend to disregard any of the quotes regarding private gun ownership, even if they are made by famous leaders and thinkers? Because they hate the fact that they cannot change history even if they want too, and they are all to used to getting their own way. Well, I am personally thankful for the fact that these people existed and left a bit of common sense… even if it is a bit to much for our liberal buddies to handle.
It seems that the liberals have this idea that they can freely criticize anyone they want with no boundaries, but the second that they receive any type of negative comment they start crying left and right… well, left most of the time. Well, they need to quit their whining and step up and present their views. Here are my facts and stats, and I invite any liberal to comment or discuss the facts… I am going to guess I will not have any takers on the offer. Read the rest of this entry »
I know it sounds too crazy to be true, but do not take my word for it, take a look at the facts yourself. By the way, these are not necessarily the same facts you can expect to find by reading or watching the liberal media, ; ). The fact that gun rights lower the crime rate has been around for a long time, you just need to dig deep into the “facts” that the right-wingers publish to really see what is going on.

Liberal Talk
Jun 16
No, I have not turned liberal… however there are a few things that have been irking me recently with regards to the clever “use of words” that right-wingers love to use to play unfairly. In any case, I cannot seem to understand why anyone would bother listening to someone go on and on about a cause that does not need to be addressed… but go figure right? Read the rest of this entry »
Lady liberty wins again this week when the U.S. court of appeals in San Francisco sent the victims of a 1999 gun crime packing (no pun intended) when they tried to sue the actual manufacturer.
Amen and Amen! It’s like fat people suing McDonalds or smokers suing Phillip Morris. It’s become the ‘in’ thing to sue everyone and everything you can. Not important if the company was acting legally and only made the weapon. They wanted them to be held accountable. For something they didn’t do.
Here’s some more from the article:
The case stemmed from a rampage in which white supremacist Buford Furrow wounded five people, including three children, at a Jewish Community Center in Granada Hills and then killed a Filipino-American postal worker, Joseph Ileto, in Chatsworth on Aug. 10, 1999.
Furrow later pleaded guilty to 16 federal charges including committing a hate crime and was sentenced to life in prison without parole.
Meanwhile, the surviving victims and Ileto’s mother sought to sue Georgia-based Glock Inc., RSR Wholesale Guns Seattle Inc. and Norinco for allegedly marketing the guns in a way that encouraged illegal purchasers to buy them.
In an earlier ruling in 2003, the appeals court said the plaintiffs could sue the companies on the common-law claims of creation of a public nuisance and marketing negligence.
I’m sorry boys and girls, and you can correct me if I’m wrong here, but this smells an awful lot like “victims” looking for deep pockets rather than out and out justice. It looks an awful lot like some people want to to turn a tragedy into a payday.
Sorry if that ticks you off, I just call em’ like I see em’.
Discuss.
Well, the Patrick Administration is back at it again. Calling for tougher laws in Beantown, wanting to send people to PRISON if they buy more than one firearm in a thirty day period.
Here’s a cut from Boston.com:
Backed by Mayor Thomas M. Menino and Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley, the Patrick administration asked lawmakers yesterday to allow prosecutors to hold suspects in gun cases without bail and to bar gun owners from buying more than one firearm within 30 days or face 2 1/2 years in prison.
Those proposals were offered as part of a broader attack on gun-related violence in the state and were made after the Supreme Judicial Court on Monday banned prosecutors from seeking dangerousness hearings in illegal gun possession cases.
The court, in a 4-1 ruling, said that illegal gun possession is a “passive and victimless crime.”
The proposal filed by the governor would rewrite state law to make it clear that prosecutors have legal authority to try to keep someone in custody for up to 90 days while awaiting trial, an idea that Bristol County District Attorney C. Samuel Sutter has aggressively used in his jurisdiction.
It is not a victimless and passive crime, because owning a gun is NOT a crime! It irritates me gun control advocates like to brand honest, law abiding people as criminals in order to further their beliefs. It’s not right.
I came across a very interesting article today over at gunlaws.com regarding the new CIFTA Treaty, which you can read the full version here.
At either rate, gun rights advocate, Alan Korwin, has gone over the new treaty with a fine tooth comb and given us his interpretation, which I find pretty damn accurate.
Here are some of the finer points:
CIFTA Gun Treaty Removes Congressional Oversight
(Note: How this treaty can overrule U.S. law or the Constitution itself
is discussed at the end, after the treaty analysis below.)I’ve completed my review of the South America gun-control treaty that Mr. Obama wants to get ratified.
It is known as CIFTA, the Inter-American Convention Against The Illicit Manufacturing Of And Trafficking In Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, And Other Related Materials.
– EVERY aspect of the treaty introduces major required gun controls, most of which will affect average citizens (as well as the targeted criminal syndicates, dictators and other bad actors).
– The controls go way past anything EVER attempted by gun-control groups in the United States.
– NONE of the proposed gun controls are likely to pass by themselves through Congress. If the treaty is enacted they don’t have to — they become law when the treaty is ratified.
– Virtually NO PROTECTIONS FOR RKBA are to be found, and the wordings are loose enough to allow all sorts of attacks on gun rights American enjoy today.
– The U.S. government under this treaty GAINS POWER to manage firearms almost any way it would like to, without checks and balances.
– Once signed, many of the restrictions and government intrusions become MANDATORY, and the full Congress, already cut out of ratification (only the Senate approves treaties) would be cut out of the implementation process entirely.

How do you like them apples???
