Hunters, You May Continue to Pump Animals Full of Lead

Bet none of you Liberals had any idea about the most pressing threat to our nation's freedom since Obamacare, did you? The EPA was considering banning lead bullets because it poisoned animals. The ban has been rejected. Freedom, saved!

Gun Owners Way Less Gun-Crazy Than NRA

Adrian Chen · 12/20/09 11:36PM

According to a recent poll (sponsored, albeit, by a pro gun-control organization) gun owners are more supportive of tighter gun laws than the NRA. Every gun owner does not want the right to carry a concealed flamethrower. [NYT]

Obama Denies Sad Ten Year Old His Right To Arm Himself

Alex Carnevale · 11/08/08 08:45AM

This October was a slow month for most businesses, but not if you sell firearms. Anticipating crackdowns in the wake of an Obama win, there were 108,000 more background checks for gun purchases than this month last year. Fear of restrictions in the wake of a Democratic president usually is enough to spike weapons purchases from buyers scared they won't be able to get the perfect gift for the holidays.

NRA Ad: Shoot Obama Before He Steals Your Guns

Pareene · 09/22/08 12:17PM

Obama voted to ban deer-hunting ammunition! "Where is this guy from?" gun guy asks, in what is the single least subtle attempt to paint Obama as a Muslim foreigner ever. (Where is he from? Canada? Saudi Arabia?? San Francisco??) This is a real-life NRA ad that will run in Colorado and New Mexico. Our favorite part is the Dick Cheney-looking guy loading up a rifle as a fat kid stares at him. Enjoy your precious freedoms, assholes!

Mike Huckabee's Hilarious Joke About Assassinating Barack Obama

Pareene · 05/16/08 04:48PM

Former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee is a slick, smooth, charming guy. He would've been a dangerous nominee, because he's TV-friendly and quick-witted in a folksy, unthreatening way. But he's actually a rar-right nutcase. And sometimes his jokes fall flat. As in the clip above. If you can't get a laugh from telling a "someone is going to shoot Barack Obama" joke in a talk at the NRA then your delivery needs work, we say. Oh, also we say: wtf.
