Good news for the terminally fascist! New York State cops are using Armslist to "gather intelligence" on available firearms and their owners. What this really means is that, not content with enforcing unconstitutional weapons bans, New York State officials are involved in active hostile operations against gun owning citizens. So, the next time a liberal dismisses concerns about gun grabbing, kindly refer them to this article that gun confiscation is real and happening in New York, as you speak. Bastards.

It seems the truly mentally ill, also known as liberals/leftists, such as Virginian gubernatorial electotion winner Terry McAuliffe have cost the state of Virginia potential jobs, as Beretta has removed Virginia from its short list of contenders from the new factory the company is planning. Someone should remind the governor elect that if a policy costs jobs, then maybe you should take another look at the policy. From BearingArms.com
Connecticut's firearms ban goes into effect next Wednesday. Anyone in possession of forbidden firearms must register them with the state police, or be out of compliance. As the Gun Rights Examiner article notes, when a similar ban went into effect 13 years ago in California, Californians went along without much of a whimper. Chances are they will in Connecticut as well. I got a 24 pack of beer that says within a year Connecticut will be following New York's lead and will begin gathering intelligence for an assault on gun owners. That sound that you hear is liberty dying in Connecticut. From the Gun Rights Examiner
I had a number of links to articles written by or about gun grabbing Lt. Colonel Robert Bateman, but in the interests of brevity, suffice it to say the Lt. Col. has been trading on his military service, and his knowledge of military history, mostly US Civil War to get into the good graces of such media outlets as Esquire and Huffington Post. And the currency he is trading in is our rights to keep and bear arms. One last word via the Jews for Firearms Ownership website .
Loads.
