Oppose this, don’t promote it! Oh, we weren’t done with Red Flag laws the last time. Ohhhhh, no! We’re going to give you some concrete examples of why they’re bad news. I know, they look so benign on paper…until you start actually reading the paper. Then you’ll see the danger of them. That’s what we’re going to be discussing here. No matter what sort of propaganda terms the antis use to try to promote them, they are among the most un-Liberal, un-American things I’ve seen in a while. We cannot support these monstrosities, and I’m going to explain why. Yeah, I’m gonna get racial here, too. This ..read more

“Red Flag” gun laws? A six-year-old little boy brought a loaded gun to school and shot a teacher just this last Friday. I’m sure you heard or read about this on the news. Like probably all of you, I am in shock at how this could happen. That teacher, Abby Zwerner, age 25, is still in the hospital in serious, but stable, condition. I think we all hope for Abby’s swift and complete recovery. How the hell could this happen? What drives a six-year-old child to take a loaded gun to school and shoot a teacher with it? I know, people are crying out for the blood of the parents, and I get it. We’re go ..read more

30-06 and .308 Win cartridges The advantages of reloading your own cartridges are numerous. Two of the ones that I happen to enjoy are the .308 Winchester and the .30-06 Springfield. Now, any discussion of these two cartridges usually ends up in a holy war of Ford/Chevy/Dodge proportions. That’s not what I’m after here. We will discuss the capabilities of these two cartridges, since they’re so wildly popular. I happen to favor the .30-06 by a bit, but I also reload, shoot, and enjoy the .308 Win as well. The first segment will be .30-06. The second segment will be about the .308 Win. Finnish ..read more

Censorship Hurts Liberty Censorship…we saw it during the horrible McCarthy era back in the 1950’s and the “House Un-American Activities Committee” (HUAC). I had hoped we’d never see it again. But it appears we have been seeing it for the last couple of years. And at last, it even happened to me. The Liberal’s Gun Corner got bumped off the Internet, apparently because my provider didn’t like that it was getting popular, at least not with another Liberal promoting the 2A. We’re going to talk about that, because we need to be reminded that this is not Stalin’s Soviet Union, Kim Il Sung’s (or his ..read more

The celebration of a free nation Happy Birthday, United States of America. Today is our 245th birthday as a nation. We declared our independence from Great Britain on this day in the year 1776. I will always love you because you are my nation and also the greatest nation that’s ever existed. Texas has recently gone Constitutional Carry. That’s a good thing…unless you’re a Democrat who I call “Missy Ann” Johnson…because of something she said about us. She calls Constitutional Carry “Wild West Pimp Style”. Well, as offensive a set of racial dog-whistles as that is…I have decided, as have many ot ..read more

The canonical “Tupperware pistol”…millions and millions served! “Polymer guns” vs. “all steel guns”…Ford/Chevy/Dodge…Jesus, Mohammed, or Buddha…just a few of the various “holy wars” in our world. Well, I cannot speak much to the others, but “polymer” vs. “all-steel”, that one I can help out with! Turns out both are good stuff, so we’re going to talk about the goodness of Glock-style polymer pistols. Next episode, we’ll do the same for the more old-school, all-steel models, ’cause they’re good too. Yep, we’re going to talk about these folks. Just keep an open mind, that’s all I ask. And in case ..read more

Who ya gonna call? The antis have a new target besides “A-Salt Weppenz”. We always knew they would, and now we know what it is. It’s the home-built gun, the do-it-yourself gun. The antis want to prevent us from being able to do what many people throughout the history of this country have done: build our own firearms. Yes, this is a time-honored activity in our country, and lots of people do so. People do this with various types of firearms. But the antis want to demonize that now, by calling our home-builds by a new negative-marketing term. That term is, “ghost guns”. California officials have ..read more

Nothing says “liberty” like Lady Liberty herself! “Cowboy T, you sound a lot like a Libertarian!” Yep, it’s come up again. It always comes up. Even Mark Levin said it recently, a few weeks ago. Perhaps it’s time to have that discussion, since it’s been a bit over eight years since we touched on it. My Conservative brothers and sisters really don’t seem to like the “L” word…especially when it’s coming out of a pro-Second-Amendment activist such as myself. The short version: I am in fact a Liberal, not a Libertarian. And here, I will explain why, specifically, that is the case. We’re going to d ..read more

The end goal…. I wish today’s post were just an “April Fools” joke. Sadly, it isn’t. Far from it. If there’s anything that nobody wants to hear, it’s that their baby has some ugliness. As Liberals, we believe in the Constitution. We believe in liberty. That’s why the whole LGBTQ+ rights movement resonates so strongly with so many of us. It’s why we chafe–at least, publicly–when we hear of racism. And it’s why we recoil so strongly when someone who’s not part of “us”, especially a Conservative Republican, aims a criticism at us. It’s just as important for us to recognize problems with our own ..read more

And you really think we don’t need guns? Let’s see you face this guy and his pals without one! Tennessee may become the 19th State to enact “Constitutional Carry”. That means you don’t need a permit from the government to carry a gun. That’s how it used to be before the end of the Civil War and the Black Codes. Constitutional Carry–also known as Vermont Carry since Vermont’s been doing it for 230 years now–is celebrated by some, but it’s got some others concerned. Some of those folks are racial minorities…specifically, Black Americans in Memphis. I would like to present my case, as a Liberal ..read more
