I think the supreme court ruled that citys cannot override state laws on guns...

No, the state must pass preemption that says cities may not have laws that differ from those at the state level.

Imagine carrying a firearm and as you drive from town-to-town and the laws change. You might have to go from concealed carry to open carry to unloaded and locked non-carry.....the patchwork of laws would be impossible to comply wth....hence the need for preemption laws.

I must admit I have been looking at a pile of M1911A1 and Winchester Repeater lately with incresing intensity.

Life is too short to go without a 1911 , a model 94 and an A-5 . Only with these included in your personal property items , can you find true happiness .

They’ll be gunning for her next election. Let’s remember who the supporters of our constitutional rights are next election.

Blaming a gun is like blaming Jeffery Dahmer’s teeth!

No gun ever walked up to a drug dealer and shot him (or her).

Excellent tune, this is one of my favorites, it should be subtitled, “Ode To Big Guns”.

The real question is will Seattle comply.

I would bet a dollar they won’t.

You mean when the 2nd Amendment says the right to bear arms shall not be infringed, it actually means it?

That is OUTRAGEOUS!

Gun bans are unconstitutional and all juries should NEVER find anyone guilty for their Constitutional RIGHT to keep and bear arms.

The jury are the people in control no matter what the judge directs them to do as they are the people in charge when the decision is given to them.

“I have been around guns all my life and have yet to see one do ANYTHING on it’s own! Guns are just tools!”

I had a revolver that made me breakfast once. But I think that was a fluke, because before that it had only brewed coffee.
