The NY SAFE Act is the brain-fart of a complete socialist moron, Andrew Cuomo.
Especially when you consider that making a gun scary looking is exactly what you want. If it is frightening enough, the bad guys will run away and you don’t have to use it. If it looks like a toy, however, it will have no psychological benefit and the bad guys will not be afraid of it.
So, the scarier the gun “looks”, the better it is as a deterrent, whether it is fired or not.
Why is that officer pointing that gun at his belly???
Does he have a death wish???
Texas Voter Forced to Cover Up Second Amendment Shirt Before Being Allowed to Vote

However, who would have thought that wearing a shirt that shows support for one of the amendments of the Bill of Rights would be considered “campaigning”?
That’s exactly what happened to one man in Texas when he went to cast his vote wearing a Second Amendment shirt.
According to KENS5,
Driskill, employed as a private security guard in Houston, went to the Waller County Courthouse in Hempstead on Tuesday to cast his early-voting ballot in the Republican Primary. He was wearing a black T-shirt with a logo on the front and back that says “2nd Amendment – America’s Original Homeland Security.” The words circle a skull and crossbones where the “bones” are short-barrel pistol grip shotguns.
“I heard a gentleman’s voice over my shoulder say ‘he can’t vote with that shirt on. You’ll have to either turn it inside out our you’ll have to leave,’” Driskill said of the polling place encounter.
Driskill was allowed to vote when someone loaned him a jacket that covered the graphic on his shirt.
To be fair, it appears Texas election officials also made a Democratic voter remove a shirt that depicted Barack Obama and his family in 2011. That one I can understand a little more since Obama is a politician and is associated with a political party. The Second Amendment is a part of the Bill of Rights which is in turn part of the Constitution of the United States

HOORAY Detroit mom (& hubby)! Great thread BUMP!
I do not think that illegal plunder, such as theft or swindling — which the penal code defines, anticipates, and punishes — can be called socialism. It is not this kind of plunder that systematically threatens the foundations of society. Anyway, the war against this kind of plunder has not waited for the command of these gentlemen. The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. Long before the Revolution of February 1848 — long before the appearance even of socialism itself — France had provided police, judges, gendarmes, prisons, dungeons, and scaffolds for the purpose of fighting illegal plunder. The law itself conducts this war, and it is my wish and opinion that the law should always maintain this attitude toward plunder.
The Law Defends Plunder
But it does not always do this. Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Thus the beneficiaries are spared the shame, danger, and scruple which their acts would otherwise involve. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons, and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim — when he defends himself — as a criminal. In short, there is a legal plunder…

As I said so many times, the left deliberately plans to take guns from honest, non-violent, law-abiding citizens and to intentionally leave them in the hands of violent criminals.
This is by choice. They know what they are doing.
I like pistol cal. rifles and I have shot a friends 995-TS and like it. I may purchase this year. Positives - Negatives - good - bad experiences with yours?

“She needs more range time. Bless her soul.”
I was thinking the same thing. Or perhaps her husband taught her that fixing bullet holes in the house is a lot easier than fixing your mind after you take a life, even in self defense.
God has already blessed her, she and her kids are OK, that’s all that counts.
Looks like many of the decent, law abiding black people in Detroit, including their police chief, are beginning to get the message and stand against the Trayvons. Kudos to this courageous woman.
