We Defend Your Right to Defend Yourself
You asked how we did at the Peoria gun buyback. Never ones to disappoint, here's how our day went before we went to Bass Pro. Yes, the do-gooders in Peoria, Illinois offered $200 per gun in a gun buyback event on Saturday, November 19th. Scheduled to run from 10:00a to…
What happens when life hands you a crap sandwich and says "take a bite"? Sometimes good people can do everything right and still have to pull the trigger on a bad person with evil in their hearts. A year ago, such an incident happened in Will County, IL. Sheriff's deputies…

For many months, he lobbed all manner of defamatory, derogatory, and pejorative comments to stories at Guns Save…
