This is both funny and sad at the same time. The sad part comes from how many European countries have no sense of humor. Even worse, how they have kowtowed to newcomers in order to seem accommodating when all the newcomers see by these actions is weakness.
I am thankful for the Bill of Rights which allows me to even post this meme.
I can’t disagree with this flowchart.
I also interpret it to mean a gun new to you and not necessarily new from the manufacturer. I wholeheartedly endorse giving new homes to those poor, innocent, no longer loved, used firearms sitting shivering in the cold dark of the back of the gun safe (cue Sarah McLachlan singing).
If you go to the gun show this weekend and decide you can’t live without that second-hand firearm, remember you are doing a service giving it a second life.
Believe it or not but the gun meme of the day comes from a screen cap of a Saturday Night Live episode featuring Walton Goggins.
You can watch the full skit here.
I certainly cannot disagree with this bit of advice.
My friend Derek LeBlanc who heads the Kids Safe Foundation has created a number of 2A memes and infographics. I will be posting them on occasion.
Additionally, if you want to make a tax deductible donation to a great organization which does fantastic gun safety education for kids, consider Kids Safe. I have attended one of Derek’s presentation to children and it is top notch.
Unless you are still stuck in the Nevada desert without electricity trying to make your way out from Burning Man, you have heard about the controversy surrounding Liberty Safes and their cooperation with the FBI. I could go into all the details but since you can read about it many places I won’t.
Liberty Safe was purchased by Monomoy Capital Partners back in 2021 for an undisclosed sum. As the Open Secrets website makes clear, virtually all of their political contributions go to Democrats. Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA notes that some of the recent recipients of their largesse have been Senators Raphael Warnock (D-GA), John Fetterman (D-PA), and Mark Kelly (D-AZ). This is according to data from the Federal Elections Commission.
Suffice it to say but Liberty Safes has a PR nightmare on their hands. They are doing damage control. They say they have “revised their policies around cooperation with law enforcement” and that customers can request that their “access codes” be expunged from the Liberty Safe database. While this has been compared to the Bud Light fiasco, I think it is worse. It was an abuse of the customer’s personal privacy. People in the 2A community have long memories. They will forgive a firearm that is recalled for bugs but I don’t think they will forgive this so readily.
So on to the memes. I found some on forums and some with a Google search. If you have more, feel free to post them in the comments.
Note: The warrant was a search warrant of the person’s home and possession. It was not a subpoena or warrant issued directly to Liberty Safe.
I think the CEO of Liberty Safe probably feels the same way as the social media guy. His name, and I kid you not, is Joe Fail.
I saw this meme on Reddit and found it amusing. It compares watch guys to gun guys and finds they are similar.
Even funnier to me is that I own or have owned watches from all three companies and two of the three handgun makers. I am going to presume that Ruger owners have the Citizen Eco-Drives and that guys with old Hamilton Automatic watches use 1911s. Not sure where I’d put the guys wearing a Casio G-Shock.
Of course, right now I’m wearing a Bulova WW2 commemorative military style watch that I picked up off of EBay for about $50 years ago. I’ve had to replace the original olive canvas band with a nylon Nato band because it wore out.
I love memes. They can convey a ton of information in a humorous or sarcastic way.
I found this meme today on Reddit. The only change I’d make to it is to add Grass Roots North Carolina or your own state-level gun rights group that is unaffiliated with the NRA.
I just wasn’t inspired to post this week for which I apologize. I hope this find from Reddit makes up for it.
I mean who doesn’t love both Grace Slick and shooting guns. Just make sure to turn up the volume!
