A reporter for a leftist "news" website wants to first take away guns from "white guys". Three guesses as to the race of the writer. No peeking!

Despite protesting an industry in which real numbers, both as to statistics as well as to accuracy for the manufacture of guns are critical to the industry, somehow gun hating fascists have a terrible time with math. Bernie Horn thinks the actual average of firearms per firearm owning household is around 50 guns each. Some have as many as 100 guns! No other explanation will suffice you gun toting, toothless Bible reading, redneck racists!

Laugh all you want, but I bet such academic fraud will be brought up again by an intrepid "news" reporter seeking the truth about gunz, probably when the 2016 Presidential election gets underway. And this article will get read 100 million times before it is even once discredited.

A warning by the Washington state based Patrick Henry Society that success in the courts in favor of the universal background check law passed in Washington state in a marijuana induced fog by gun controlling fascists will mean nothing to those who own guns, if the law is not obeyed.

As far as I know the mass civil disobedience gun show demonstration in Washington state in June is still on.

Speaking of universal background checks, a bill in Oregon is being rammed through the Oregon state senate as I write this.

Loads.
