72 Killed resisting gun confiscation in Boston :: 06/23/2013
BOSTON - National guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned assault weapons were ambushed on April 19th by elements of a para-military extremist faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to withdraw. Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement. Gage blamed the extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal revenue offices. The governor, who described the group's organizers as "criminals," issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of any inpidual who has interfered with the government's efforts to secure law and order. The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed wide-spread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed assault weapons. Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized the forcible confiscation of illegal arms. One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out that "none of these people would have been killed had the extremists obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily." Government troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed weapons and ammunition. However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met with resistance from heavily-armed extremists who had been tipped off regarding the government's plans. During a tense standoff in Lexington 's town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly fired by one of the right-wing extremists. Eight civilians were killed in the ensuing exchange.
Room Temperature Robber vs. Chicago Victim :: 06/23/2013
Georgia has provisions for honest souls to carry a firearm, and defend themselves with lethal force. Chicago does not. Here are the stories of two separate outcomes of an armed encounter between a free citizen, and a slave to the Illinois legislature.
Bloomberg and MAIG screw up again. Or would that be "still"? :: 06/21/2013
Besides having criminals as members of MAIG, Bloomberg's bunch of lunatics paint the Boston Bomber as a gun victim. Pretty much par for the course. As we have said before, keep screwing up, Bloomberg, and we'll call you out every time.

Stopping a carjacker with a 4000 pounder. Apparently it works as well as .45 :: 06/17/2013
Getting between a mother and her children, no matter how whacked out you might be, is a really bad lifestyle choice. Remember her words well: "I didn't mean to run him over...." You gotta love this gal. Even the liberal media is painting her as a hero. By the way, given the choice between a 230 grain projectile, and a two ton minivan, use the minivan. Its less paperwork.
Ammo-One Guy's Opinion, and I think he is incorrect. :: 06/16/2013
The Old Gunhand is entitled to his opinion, but completely discounting the billions of rounds on order from DHS, IRS, and nearly every other alphabet agency doesn't work for me. Here's the Old Gunhand's opinion. I think he missed the point of intrusive Government driving up costs and killing availability.
