    Mass Senator Wants To Impose Additional Taxes On Gun Ownership — Because Law-Abiding Gun Owners Conc

    Someone needs to outlaw the use of the words "common-sense". Too many misinformed irrational people use the words as if the words they come up with through their warped view of the world are "common-sense" to the masses. If they want to use the words, they should read "common-sense in my...

    Cuomo's "free College" ~~~ ain't actually 'free'

    I once had an aid to Cuomo tell me, "Its not about doing what's right. Its about doing what looks right."

    Cuomo's "free College" ~~~ ain't actually 'free'

    You know, while it is typical Cuomo hidden truth, In this case I stomach it due to this; a true free ride for all kids would cost taxpayers hundreds of millions. At least here, its less tax dollars being spent. Look at it like this, if it were totally free, a certain and probably large number...

    WH-MSM Battle Goes Nuclear - CNN, NYT, Others Banned From Presser

    What the article failed to point out is that there were a limited number of seats available. So yes, many reporters were not allowed to attend. If you notice, the large TV networks were ALL included in the invited group. Of course the libs are going to report it as Trump excluding...

    Proposed EO to designate certain rifles for 'militia purposes'..

    If, and that is a big if, this is true, it would show that Trump is paying attention and intends to try and protect our rights. I personally think it is 100% legit. Hey, I read it on the internet, it must be true.

    Cuomo cutting cancer research funding

    Research is important and one never knows when they will benefit from it. How about the state stick to things like helping fund schools, repair infrastructure etc, and give the money that was spent on items the government shouldn't be involved in back to the tax payers? I donate money each...

    Cuomo's "free College" ~~~ ain't actually 'free'

    Yeah but most people will never read into it and know the truth. So, it sounds good and makes him sound like a hero.

    So I'm watching all these angry anti-Trump town hall meetings.

    ALL of Cuomo's 'public' appearances are scripted. He came to Poughkeepsie last year to speak about the Walkway Over the Hudson. Every single person in the audience was selected to be there. If anyone else tried to approach, they were turned away by police a block away from the event.

    Mossberg Patriot

    I have always gone for guns that chamber military rounds when possible. Ammo is usually more readily available and as such, you can usually find better prices. I do agree with others, if I already had an 06, I don't know I would spend the money on a .308. Of course, you can always pick one...

    Grid down

    "No one is going to set off a nuke over the US. Sun flares, yeah right, wear sun glasses along with your tin hat." Said the idiot just before he hit "send" on the message complaining about global warming. EMP is certainly higher up on the list of possibilities.

    Gillibrand Says Cuomo Would ‘Be a Great Candidate’ for Dems to Run Against Trump in 2020

    I think he would make the perfect candidate. He should step down as governor and run. We should all encourage him to do it.

    Firearms in NY State Parks Not Allowed

    Correct. You can carry in the Adirondacks (state forest) but not in a state park in the Adirondacks such as a state campground. But like others have said, concealed is concealed. No one is going to strip search you in a state park. Well, there was this girl one time when I was young.....

    NRA Ballot Amendment Will Diminish Members’ Power

    I am on the same page as 218bee as to not having much respect for the NRA. This amendment just re-enforces my feelings. In a time when the President is preaching giving government back to the people, the NRA should be following suit. Haven't we all had enough of the powers that be, ruling the...

    Fourth Circuit overturns pro-gun ruling

    It is not the time to bring to the supreme court. The balance is the same as it was under Obama. We need to wait until 1 liberal judge vacates and Trump appoints a conservative. At that point, there is a much greater chance the court will grant cert and the vote will go in our favor. Can...

    TODAY: Not My President's Day PROTESTS

    Lets see, Trump elected president of the United States through age old process, legally and legit. If you say he is "Not my president" (spelt correctly or not), then in effect you are saying you are not a citizen of the US.. So get out. If you claim to be a citizen of the US, then agree with...

    Intel Insiders Say Flynn Destroyed by Attack Used on “Enemies of the State”

    Trump has to clean house to survive. He cant roll over. To do so would just open him and his administration to a winning attack. They criticize Trump for comments made against the intelligence community... Now we see why he made them.

    Headed to Adirondacks Tent Camping and Ice Fishing

    I like simple but my buddy likes to bring everything but the kitchen sink. He looks at it as: "if I was forced to live in the woods, what would I bring for a long stay." I keep pointing out, propane only lasts so long. Funny thing is, he is also the one who goes on 300 mile long backpacking...

    Was the Budweiser Super Bowl Ad Bullshit?

    Work on the commercial started 8 months ago. Filming was done months before the election. The tie-in to what's going on today is coincidence. My sister is friends with the head of advertising for Budweiser. She had mentioned this commercial to me 4 or 5 months ago.

    I took a plastic bin and put a deep cycle batter in it. Voltage regulator, 12v plugs, 4 usb ports and a 400w inverter. Charges from A/C, car or solar. I use a 45w triple solar panel array to charge it. It provides 180 minutes of 12v power at 25amp. I wouldn't call it portable, more for...

    Headed to Adirondacks Tent Camping and Ice Fishing

    Last time we used it, it rained and sleeted a bit. Tent stayed dry. Zippers are heavy duty and the seams are well sown. It has a separate zipper flap to keep any draft out. Since you use steal poles, it barely moves in a 20 mph wind. There is a chimney hole if you want to put a small wood...

    NY Safe Act may not be but its not just about NY. CA, Conn, Oregon, VA, and the list goes on. There are a lot of states with various portions of SAFE and a lot of people looking to Trump to get involved. He will. He is running down his campaign list and checking things off one by one. He...

    "The United States Cannot Survive As Presently Constituted"

    Unfortunately the second option will be the one that succeeds. The left is VERY loud right now and will unlikely settle down. The Right is a bit smug with a certain attitude of "our guy won, now go away." The Right is not shouting nearly as loud. As such, the Left will draw more from the...

    Federal Court Rules Concealed Carriers Have Fewer Rights Than Unarmed Americans

    Doc, You are right and the article certainly makes the point but face it, armed citizens have had fewer rights than unarmed citizens for a number of reasons. If armed, we are restricted from entering certain buildings, dropping our kids off at school, attending certain events and even shopping...
