    NY Attorney General Letitia James charging Florida man with 71 gun crimes

    It's gotten so bad that Rural King won't even send me empty ammo cans anymore.

    Trump wants to ban single family homes being sold to investment firms

    I'd suggest keeping an eye open on rural areas you'd want to move. Keep in mind that houses are less expensive in rural areas, so the equity you have in your home could enable you to make the move today. My wife and I were in a substantially similar boat as you about 2 years ago... house bought...

    Trump wants to ban single family homes being sold to investment firms

    I don't really think that investment firms buying homes is really a problem. They're just part of the market. If they push things too high, demand will plummet and prices will drop. Frankly, I think we're on the verge of that point right now. There are a lot of other things going on that I...

    Ashli Babbitt Settlement

    There's no way that $190 million figure is correct. As the article points out, Maryland in its entirety is allocated $193 million, and that is spread across thousands of day cares. Two possibilities here: Sperry got his facts mixed up Or, he intentionally used the lowercase 'm' (which means...

    Pistol permit Recertification Time

    Re-certified for my wife and I this past weekend. All of the listed pistols were correct, but my address was our previous address (we moved 1.5 years ago) and my county was still listed as the previous county. Same for her, but her home address was completely wrong. Apparently some kind of...

    Some states are requiring firearms training in K-12 schools

    At first blush, it sounds great, but I shudder to thinik what a Democrat-designed gun safety curriculum would look like. "Guns are bad, report your parents to the government."

    Shoplifting Suspect Pulls Gun on Canton Police Officer Inside Walmart

    That cop is lucky the perp didn't carry condition 1. And, from what I can see, doubly lucky that the perp failed to rack the gun properly on his first attempt. If you watch carefully, right before he points the gun at the cop, he attempts to rack the gun, points, then pulls the trigger - you can...

    12 dead in Australian shooting (Edit: Now confirmed 16 dead)

    You greatly misunderstand what I meant by "we are not a nice presence." I wasn't talking about our manners. I was talking about the rapes, robberies, beatings, murders, and all sorts of other shit that occurs and are rarely held to account, or in some cases are even sanctioned. Particularly and...

    12 dead in Australian shooting (Edit: Now confirmed 16 dead)

    I dunno about that. Bin Laden's primary (and explicitly stated) goal was to get the US out of Saudi Arabia specifically, and the Middle East in general. In other words, he was motivated almost entirely by our lack of isolationism. When we put soldiers in other countries, we're often not very...

    Orange County road rage defensive shooting (vid)

    I think that, regardless of whatever tomfoolery took place before the video, this would be a good shoot... in a free state. In NY, though? He could have driven off by going around the right side of the stopped car. I'm not saying that's right - I support Stand Your Ground - but we don't have...

    SCOTUS affirms right to Gay Marriage

    I agree that the government should not be in the business of marriage, that their authority should end at civil unions. But let's be realistic here: we're playing semantics. Civil unions would bestow all of the same legal benefits, and plenty of religions support gay marriage, plus anyone can...

    THE ADVENTURES OF THE 47TH PRESIDENT....

    Should have and would have, sure. Could have? I dunno, NY has been dominated by liberals for as long as I can remember. Any exceptions - such as Pataki, or when Republicans controlled the NY Senate - seem to have just been RINOs.

    THE ADVENTURES OF THE 47TH PRESIDENT....

    lol... no shit, Sherlock. That doesn't make it any less disgusting, and it completely misses the point. The proper answer to a large landmass ruled by a concentration of population is to separate the two to ensure adequate representation of interests. The reality is that upstate and downstate...

    What Are The Chances Of A Food Stamp Collapse In November?

    I cooked an entire Thanksgiving meal this past weekend, stuffed 5 people and had 5 huge belly-busting leftover meals for the freezer. Turkey, mashed potatoes, butternut squash, stuffing, corn, asparagus, gravy. I am pretty sure I spent no more than $25 on the entire meal. $11 for the turkey...
