Don’t Monkey Around. Read the Declaration of Independence …. life, liberty etc., and the Second Amendment to the US Constitution.

It’s your right and your responsibility to defend your home and your property. Even though that right is alluded to in the Declaration and the Constitution, that right is from a higher power, almighty god, or your genes, or whatever you want to call it.

Self-defense is sanity, anything else shows a lack of love for the unique creation you are. Own a legal weapon, practice with it legally, and exercise your legal and more importantly “god-given” right to defend yourself from harm or loss. Hitting what you aim at is good gun control!

I, one of two people writing articles here, have been living in Virginia since 2005. As light hearted as I would like to be about some of the topics that we will cover, I will have to be a bit more serious right now.

Our legislature recently passed two bills. One was a locked box law that allows citizens without a CHP or CCW to carry a loaded handgun for personal protection in a locked container in their car. That bill has little effect for me since I am a CHP holding citizen, though I did support the bill.

The other bill would allow our state’s CHP holding citizens to carry concealed into restaurants which serve alcohol. Fully understanding that there are already laws in this state that prohibit concealed carry while intoxicated.

Such an offense, even before this bill, is considered a Class 1 Misdemeanor and would result in the revocation of a person’s CHP.

In spite of the overwhelming support from the House and Senate of Virginia, our Governor vetoed both bills. His reasoning was less than sound, and his tactics show a clear party alliance, rather than any careful thought about what would actually aid his constituents. Both bills were sent back to our senate for an override vote, and both failed. The Locked Box bill should have passed, but six democratic senators reneged on their previous votes. I am not particularly liberal or conservative, and my political opinions are varied and deep, not at all like these tools. (more…)

I believe in gun control.

I always have.

I was raised in a house that believed in gun control. When my dad gave me my first BB gun at six years old, he taught me gun control. When I used to hunt alone at age 10, I used all the gun control I was taught. I never shot something I should not, and I rarely missed.

Now I am older and gun control takes on new meaning. I believe in gun control now more than ever. A legally armed citizen must exercise great amounts of gun control when firing at a perp, if only to guarantee a good solid hit of the target. Gun control is good. Know how to control your gun and hit at what you aim.

Read the Second Amendment. Read the Declaration of Independence… things about right to life, you know silly libertarian garble that our founding fathers so eloquently expressed to the masses. Buy a gun if you don’t have one. Get some training and become a gun control supporter like me!

Here are some videos which describe gun control in the most succinct way possible. Anyone who attempts to have an opinion on the gun control issue should do as much research as possible. If you are not willing to do that, watch these videos at the very least.

These are from an episode of “Penn & Teller: Bullshit”, Season 3 Episode 9

Do we have an image problem here or is it more? Bikers are just people, bad, average, and great. Journalists on the other hand………..

This is simply a funny story floating around on the internet and MySpace, one of those urban legends that may or may not be true.

One thing is for certain. The next presidential election will be the most important election in the history of the USA, save perhaps the election of Lincoln. Read this funny story, and think about it everytime you read a political headline. The next time a journalist tells you the truth about a candidate, wonder if he has been to a zoo lately!

Me? I think I will have another beer.

unknown author… following story

A biker is riding by the zoo, when he sees a little girl leaning into the lion’s cage. Suddenly, the lion grabs her by the cuff of her jacket and tries to pull her inside to slaughter her, under the eyes of her screaming parents.

The biker jumps off his bike, runs to the cage and hits the lion square on the nose with a powerful punch. Whimpering from the pain the lion jumps back letting go of the girl, and the biker brings her to her terrified parents, who thank him endlessly.

A reporter has seen the whole scene, and addressing the biker, says - Sir, this was the most gallant and brave thing I saw a man do in my whole life.

- Why, it was nothing, really, the lion was behind bars. I just saw this little kid in danger, and acted as I felt right.

- Well, I’ll make sure this won’t go unnoticed. I’m a journalist, you know, and tomorrow’s papers will have this on the first page. What motorcycle do you ride?

- A Harley Davidson.

The journalist leaves.

The following morning the biker buys the paper to see if it indeed brings news of his actions, and reads, on first page:

Headline
BIKER GANG MEMBER ASSAULTS AFRICAN IMMIGRANT AND STEALS HIS LUNCH.
