A wistful vice president Josef Biden said he wished for someone to make a stab at killing the president so the government can get all medieval on gun owners. And you know someone on the left is seriously considering doing just that. Such a shame the only sacrifices that Biden-supporting fascists are willing to make are those that will f*ck over their fellow citizens.

Man, those NRA members sure do get around. A leftist news commentator at MSNBC blamed the ebola virus scare on the National Rifle Association. Enough of these kinds of accusations spewed forth against gun owners will make anti gunners' surrender on control more difficult for them.

People on the right coast seem to think that the midterm elections will make a difference on rolling back gun control. Highly unlikely.

Loads.
