First of all we all get it wrong every once in a while so I am not calling out these posters for getting it wrong. But rather simply to illustrate that these were widely held beliefs just a few months ago.

Two weeks ago I was taking my kids and a couple friends fishing on Saturday and on Friday I discovered I was short a reel.I was driving by the Dicks at Bailey's crossroads in Virginia and did something I have not done in a long time --I stepped inside a Dicks sporting goods. They had zero ammo, zero targets and gun cleaning stuff, a couple of safes and their last couple of long guns were on "clearance."

Years before I had bought a .22 at this very same Dicks, and I recalled talking to the young man who was the gun department manager. He was quite knowledgeable about guns. He explained to me that respect for the Second Amendment transcended political party in Virginia and he specifically said, "it is a cultural, not political value here."

No it isn't. There is not any issue in US policy and legislation that is more clearly partisan. Mike Bloomberg has made it a litmus test

Well stated... and very much needed to be said. Complacency is the bane of all citizens who have lost rights and freedoms to it.

The notion of "...that can't happen here." is a fools folly. And those who sat out election after election after election... thinking "My vote is not needed... we got this." should wake up and apologize to the rest of the citizens who have had to sacrifice to try to save what THEY though was "in the bag".

Nothing is certain... nor permanent. The left is relentless in their agenda. EVEN when one thinks that their vote does not count or is not needed... GET OFF THAT DUFF AND GO VOTE.

Voting is the first thing to do but voting alone is simply not enough anymore. We are being attacked from all sides by anti 2A maggots

The Lone Ranger No Longer Rides – in Virginia

The Lone Ranger was arrested in Richmond, VA for the crime of illegally transferring silver bullets. The famed masked man had just apprehended an armed felon after shooting the gun out of his hand. As was his practice for the last eighty years, he gave a silver bullet to the outlaw’s victim.

She was a kindly old widow who was robbed and held captive by the desperado. This lady, grateful that her life and property were restored, treasured the silver bullet as a symbol that justice was done.

The trouble started when she showed the bullet to her weekly garden club. Upon seeing the gleaming memento, one lady fainted. Another lady gasped that they were all going to die. A third lady, who was also a member of VHA (Virginia Hysterics Anonymous), warned that here there was a bullet, there had to be a gun.
During the shocked silence an attendee desperately summoned the Sheriff on her cell phone.


When the Sheriff heard their story he struggled to stifle a laugh. He knew the old gentleman on the big white horse. He also appreciated how many criminals the Lone Ranger had captured over the years. However, since VA voters passed ill conceived gun laws, he had to uphold the law.

Predictably, he found the masked man enjoying a beer at the Robert E Lee Saloon back in town.

“Thanks for helping old widow Smith,” he said, “but did you really give her a silver bullet?”

“Yes,” replied the Lone Ranger, “after all that’s my trademark. Got a problem with that?”

“Well, yes,” hesitated the sheriff. “Ya see – under these new laws, you’ve got to be a licensed firearms dealer to give anyone a bullet.”

“Are you kidding?” asked the Lone Ranger.

“Wish I was,” said the embarrassed sheriff, “and to boot whoever receives the bullet has to be registered with the Department of Justice.”

“Holy guacamole!” exclaimed the masked man. “Did I do anything else wrong?”

“Well,” said the sheriff, looking even more sheepish now, “there’s the little matter of you shooting a gun out of the outlaw’s hand.”

“What!” said the Lone Ranger. “If I hadn’t done that, the skunk would have plugged me for sure.”

“I know that,” admitted the Sheriff, “but he’ll probably sue you for failing to retreat and using unnecessary force. If they convict you, they’ll take your six-shooters away for good. Which reminds me, according to these new laws, your pistols have too large a capacity. If I were you, I’d convert those six-shooters into five-shooters as quick as you can.”

“Jumpin’ Junipers!” exclaimed the Lone Ranger. “I’d better tell this to my faithful Indian companion, Tonto.”

“Hold on,” said the Sheriff. “I need to remind you that Indians are now referred to as Native Americans. We privileged male palefaces have got to remember that.”

As the Lone Ranger sat in shocked silence, the sheriff explained his rights and proceeded to take him in.

Postscript: Upon being provided an attorney at state expense, the outlaw successfully sued the Lone Ranger. He claimed that he could no longer work since he had suffered the permanent loss of his trigger finger.

Governor Blackface urged imposing the maximum sentence for possession of illegal ammunition and a firearm that exceeds lawful capacity. He received a huge monetary award, forcing the Lone Ranger to sell the silver mine.

Tonto was deemed innocent, but victimized by virtue of being a member of an oppressed minority. He was given land by the state and now operates a very profitable casino.

After getting out of jail, the Lone Ranger could not find a job since he was now an ex-con. Fortunately, Tonto lets him do light janitorial work at the casino and sleep in the basement.
