GunLink Blog Reaches Milestone
The GunLink Blog has reached a milestone. We have successfully banged away at our keyboards enough to pass the quarter-million-words-published mark.
If each word were one mile long, you could stretch them out and reach the moon, even at apogee. Of course, if each one were $1USD, you could just buy a seat on a Virgin Galactic flight and get there quicker. If you had those dollars in the bank, the FDIC wouldn’t even insure all of them. On the other hand, if they were Turkish Lira, you could easily fit it in your pocket.
According to Oxford Dictionaries, we could have simply listed every distinct word in the English language and realized this same auspicious achievement. However, we like guns – and, if you are reading GunLink, you presumably have at least some passing interest in them as well – so we thought that everyone’s time would be better spent if we arranged a selection of those words in such a manner as to pique that interest.
If each of those 250,000 words was a firearm, it would almost be as many firearms as are illegally smuggled into Mexico each year – thanks in part to the DOJ, Eric Holder, and Fast & Furious. If they were rounds of ammunition, it would equal what this truck driver accidentally drove in to Juarez. If, again, each of those 250,000 words was a dollar, it would cover the amount that Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants for useless gun buybacks in violent gun-control mecca Chicago. It would also cover the amount of insurance that DC wants to require gun owners to carry or the pocket-change that Michael Bloomberg dropped to get a fellow gun-grabber elected. Despite their strict gun control, Australia has as many outlawed firearms in circulation as we have words published. Continue reading
Branco: If You Like Your Guns, You Can Keep Your Guns
April Fools!
A.F. Branco – Obama Cares. Period.
Should we hope for more of this kind of change in the upcoming election?
Jeb Bush’s Gun Tweet Backfires
Some people just won’t ever get it. Jeb may not be our first choice for the next POTUS, but we can certainly appreciate a little gun porn now and then. The former Florida governor posted a picture of a personalized pistol and the haters came out of the woodwork.
It turns out that opinions are like… well, see for yourself.

Mean Tweets – Anti-Gun Zealot Edition
The brilliant minds over at the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV) posted a cute video a few weeks ago showcasing some of the social media malaise they have received. Despite the idea being stolen from Jimmy Kimmel’s #MeanTweets routine and the groups absurd name (right in line with calling the disarmament of law abiding citizens to stop violent criminals from preying on them “common sense”), there are some pretty good ones in there.
Keep letting @CSGV know how you really feel and maybe we’ll see a Part II.
