When I Want a Progressive’s Opinion on What Guns I Should Have/Hunt with, I’ll Give it to Them

One of these clowns actually told me that the founding fathers would be horrified at the technological innovation of semiautomatic arms, and thus would have banned them forthwith. My answer to that was if you believe that those scholarly fellows would never have used semiautomatic arms had they been available, you know next to nothing about guys such as Madison, Adams, Washington, Franklin, Hamilton etc. By your definition, those men were gun nuts. They would have assuredly made use of semiautomatics had they been available and would definitely have advocated their availability and possession for all citizens. I believe I have the better understanding of what the founding fathers wanted for the republic.

We can all have that "better understanding" by simply reading their considerable writings. It's no mystery what the founders wanted for our country--we simply have to read their words.

That is why liberals understood the need of having the NEA in their pockets. A LITERATE population is as dangerous to tyrants as an armed one is. And NOTHING in the NEA's playbook has anything to do with teaching little Johnny how to read. Now when it comes to teaching about global warming and how having two mommies is perfectly normal they are spot on.

When I Want a Progressive’s Opinion on What Guns I Should Have/Hunt with, I’ll Give it to Them

My buddy, Green Beret badass Bryan Sikes, shot a massive whitetail buck last week during our South Texas Purple Heart Adventure. He whacked said muy grande with a LaRue Tactical OBR chambered for the glorious .308 Win. round. Oh and BTW, Sikes used a high capacity magazine during this hunt.

For those of you who aren’t hip to the LaRue, it is a weapon that progressive darlings say we should not have because we don’t “need” such a weapon for hunting.

Hunting, according to these wizards of odd, is what they think our founding fathers had in mind when...
