"When some of my friends have asked me anxiously about their boys, whether they should let them hunt, I have answered, yes - remembering that it was one of the best parts of my education - make them hunters."

Henry David Thoreau, 1854


“A citizen who shirks his duty to contribute to the security of his community is little better than the criminal who threatens it.” - Robert Boatman

About Gun Control



"Let your gun be your constant companion on all your walks." Jefferson

"If someone has a gun and is trying to kill you, it would be reasonable to shoot back with your own gun." The Dalai Lama

"Gun bans don't disarm criminals, gun bans attract them." Walter Mondale, VP

"Gun control? It's the best thing you can do for crooks and gangsters. I want you to have nothing." Sammy "The Bull" Gravano

"A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device to deny gun ownership to the bourgeoisie." Lenin, Creator of USSR

"The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms" Hitler

"To disarm the people is the best and most effectual way to enslave them." George Mason, Father of the Bill of Rights

"I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor." Gandhi

The right of citizens to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government." Hubert H Humphrey, VP

"Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life." John F Kennedy

"Ordinary citizens don't need guns, as their having guns doesn't serve the state." Heinrich Himmler, Head of Nazi SS

"Rifles, muskets, long-bows and hand-grenades are inherently democratic weapons. That rifle on the wall of the labourer's cottage or working class flat is the symbol of democracy." George Orwell

"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in their government." Jefferson

"The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that is good."Washington

"He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one." Luke 22:36

Gun Culture and Gun-Control Culture


One of the best articles I have read recently.  I recommend it highly at "FRONTPAGE MAGAZINE".

Gun Culture and Gun-Control Culture

 December 19, 2012 By

 For instant gratification click  [HERE]

A couple of snips from the article:

Your average school shooter is unhappy and angry, irreligious, incapable of fitting into a community and filled with rage that he exercises through violent fantasies. His culture isn’t gun culture. It’s loner culture. Video games do not cause him to kill, but they are how he entertains himself until he can get a taste of the real thing.

[SNIP]

 The left cannot talk about how much it hates this country. Gun culture is one of its dog whistles. Talking about gun culture allows the left to publicly vent its hatred for America. But the truth about gun culture is that the left has a great deal more in common with Dylan Klebold, Eric Harris, Adam Lanza and Jared Loughner. Far more than those shooters had with any phantom conservative gun culture.
