When gun-grabbing politicians get arrested for gun trafficking

By Steve McGough | March 28, 2014 |

Gotta just love the hypocrisy. This state legislator from San Francisco is tied in with a felon gang member Raymond “Shrimp Boy” Chow, who continued his gang activity behind a “legitimate” facade after getting out of prison. My bet is low-lifes like State Senator Leland Yee (D-San Francisco) taught felons like Shrimp Boy how to look…

What’s likely to happen to Connecticut residents who did not register magazines and rifles?

By Steve McGough | March 5, 2014 |

There has been a lot of talk and chest thumping concerning the failed implementation of Connecticut’s “assault weapon” and “high-capacity” magazine registration scheme. It seems a significant number of people have ignored the law, and more probably have no idea they were supposed to register their stuff in the first place.

By Steve McGough | March 4, 2014 |

Evil exists in the world, and sometimes you get lucky.

All of a sudden, we have real estate agents in a quandary trying to figure out how to handle this huge conundrum. From the Chicago Tribune. The Illinois…

Connecticut reminder – it’s not illegal to carry a firearm on a college campus … or is it?

By Steve McGough | December 4, 2013 |

There is some serious mis-information floating around concerning the arrest of a University of New Haven commuter student yesterday. First, from the information we have been provided so far, he did not break any state law.

NFL refuses Daniel Defense ad – Noir points out the hypocrisy

By Steve McGough | December 4, 2013 |

There are plenty of ads the NFL and broadcasters have deemed to be unworthy of Super Bowl time, and this year we have one from Daniel Defense, a company you’ve probably never heard of. They make really good components for carbines and modern sport rifles, you know, the evil black ones.

Allen West is wrong… Closing of lead smelting plant will not increase cost of ammo

By Steve McGough | December 2, 2013 |

It’s a sexy story. “The EPA in a backdoor move by the Obama administration is forcing the last lead smelting plant in the United States to close… resulting in what’s certain to be a reduction of supply of ammo, and increased costs.” But it’s simply not true.

For those of you who keep saying “they are not going to take your guns away”

By Steve McGough | December 1, 2013 |

They will. I’ve had conversations with people who said this to me. “Look, stop hyping this all up. They are not confiscating guns, they just want to limit the selection … you know… you don’t need a 100 round magazine drum.” Yeah, OK.
