If it wasn’t for him we’d be fucked. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you’ll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way.
For the record, yes, that’s an endorsement of Trump.

The death of Peanut the Squirrel, an Instagram-famous pet murdered by New York state wildlife officials, has ignited a national conversation about government overreach, individual rights, and the fundamental importance of the Second Amendment.
It turns out Peanut was more than just a pet; he was a symbol of personal freedom and the bond between humans and animals. His unjust death at the hands of rogue government authorities isn’t just about the loss of a beloved animal—it’s a glaring example of how far government intrusion can go into our personal lives.
This tragic loss echoes the arguments that Second Amendment supporters have been making for years.
The government’s ability to overstep its bounds doesn’t stop at firearms; it permeates every aspect of our lives if left unchecked. When the state can seize and euthanize a harmless pet without sufficient justification, it raises serious questions about how much control we’re willing to surrender.
Elon Musk, a staunch advocate for free speech and individual liberties, recently vigorously defended the Second Amendment at a Trump rally. He emphasized that the right to bear arms isn’t about hunting or sport shooting; it’s a safeguard against tyranny. It’s the insurance policy that protects all our other freedoms. Musk’s passionate defense resonates with many who are concerned about increasing governmental control over our lives—from restrictions on free speech to personal choices like pet ownership.

Joe Rogan’s endorsement of Donald Trump further amplifies this sentiment. Rogan, a prominent voice with a massive following, expressed his concerns over government control and the erosion of individual freedoms. In the comments section of his endorsement post, numerous memes emerged that mirror themes long held by Second Amendment advocates:
- “The Squirrels Have Spoken”: One meme featured an image of Peanut wearing a miniature Revolutionary War-era tricorne hat, holding a tiny flag that read “Don’t Tread on Me.” This mirrors the iconic Gadsden flag adopted by Second Amendment supporters, symbolizing resistance against government oppression.
- “Armed and Nuts”: Another meme showed a group of squirrels wielding acorns like grenades, captioned “When they come for one of us, they come for all of us.” This reflects the solidarity among those who champion the right to keep and bear arms, emphasizing that an attack on one liberty is an attack on all.
- “Peanut Didn’t Need a Permit”: A third meme depicted Peanut flexing tiny muscles, with the text “Exercising my rights without a license.” This satirizes the notion of requiring permits to exercise constitutional rights, a common critique among Second Amendment supporters who argue that such rights are inherent and shouldn’t be regulated by the government.
These meme warriors not only added a layer of humor to a serious situation but also highlighted the deep-seated concerns about government overreach. They serve as modern-day political cartoons, boiling down complex ideas in simple imagery that is funny AF.
The outrage over Peanut’s death isn’t about a pet squirrel; it’s about the principle of individual liberty.
When the government starts dictating what pets we can or can’t own, what opinions we can’t express, or how we can defend ourselves and what guns we use, it sets a dangerous precedent that threatens all our freedoms.
Freedom haters will argue that equating the Second Amendment with the right to own a pet squirrel is a stretch. But it’s not about the specifics; it’s about the fundamental principle of personal freedom. The same governmental overreach that can unjustly take away a harmless pet can also infringe upon our right to bear arms—a right that protects all others.
The way Peanut’s death has been politicized also highlights the death of mainstream media. Instead of uniting over a shared concern for individual rights, some walking-dead media outlets have mocked or downplayed the incident, focusing on trivial details rather than the broader implications. This dismissive attitude only fuels the frustration and distrust American’s feel toward institutions that are supposed to safeguard our liberties.
The convergence of these events—Rogan’s endorsement, Musk’s advocacy, and the uproar over Peanut—highlights a crazy moment in our national discourse. It reminds us that the rights enshrined in the Constitution are interconnected, and the erosion of one can lead to the weakening of others.
Are you paying attention? The drum outlets like AmmoLand News have been pounding for years surrounding the Second Amendment, government overreach, and personal liberties are not abstract concepts reserved for politicians and pundits. They have real-world consequences that affect our daily lives. Peanut the Squirrel may seem like an unlikely symbol, but his story encapsulates the fears and frustrations of tired patriots wary of losing control over their own lives.
It’s time to recognize the patterns unfolding before us. Second Amendment supporters’ arguments aren’t just about guns; they’re about preserving the fundamental freedoms that define us as a free nation. We must continue to fight through the noise, challenge at every turn overbearing government, and safeguard the rights that allow us to live freely and authentically.
And always remember to stay Heavily Armed and dangerous if only for the sake of your pets.

About Tred Law
Tred Law is your everyday patriot with a deep love for this country and a no-compromise approach to the Second Amendment. He does not write articles for Ammoland every week, but when he does write, it is usually about liberals Fing with his right to keep and bear arms.
I love my dogs. I’ve promised them all I’d protect them. It’d be horrible to have to die in a blaze of gun fire to protect my dogs from the government. I feel horrid for the squirrel, raccoon and the dude that owned them but this is what leftists do.
Where is PETA on this, I haven’t heard squat but they are putting spikes in the roads and running wires across the roads to decapitate hunters on quads in the Oregoneistan forests.
Where is the outrage.
That is brilliant! The guy should have called PETA before the government thieves showed up. PETA could have been waiting for them.
It is most likely a PETA member that narc’ed on them. They view any pet ownership as evil imprisonment. An animal’s early and violent death, in their mind, is better than a millisecond of ‘captivity.’ I belong to the other organization: People Eating Tasty Animals. While P’nut may be justifiably enshrined as a martyr against tyranny, I’ve no qualms about dispatching any tree rat that get too close to my house.
Wow, thanks for sharing. That is an aspect that I never thought of. I am a tasty animal eater too and I eat the pretty and the ugly, doesn’t matter if my taste buds like it from bulls balls to snake or eel. I can see where they might have that belief but I am sure Peanut would have lived a longer life in the lap of luxury while being warm and well fed as well as loved which tree rats in the woods wouldn’t. Let’s face it, anyone that thinks animals should be considered as people have something lose.… Read more »
You can tell the Green New Deal folks that trees are fixed carbon, taken from atmospheric CO2. The more lumber we use, replant, and harvest, the more carbon is fixed. The biggest problem in the Amazon Forest is it is cleared for grazing and the trees burned instead of milled for lumber export and replanted.
Related to another Ammoland article, what concessions can we get from Canada if we agree, under the Trump administration, to open up lumber importation and resume the Keystone Pipeline? One of the roadblocks to new building is cost of lumber that has skyrocketed since 2019.
Since 2019?

Nope, you like nicky asked a stupid question and got a flippant answer, go back to the site when that exchange was ongoing and have a look.

Is your butter from cows? Or from the field, like margarine? Or is it human sourced sweet cream from Tim Walz himself?
You sure know a lot about sweet creams and such, how is that nicky? Never mind, keep that info to yourself.
Do you think that what you have written is a clever retort?
Do you eat chipmunks, coons, coyotes, chickadees and gold finches too?
Chipmunks, coons, coyotes, yes. Chickadees and gold finches are too hard to catch, and it’ll take a lot to make it worthwhile.
The are song birds and you can not hunt them. Any real hunter would know that.

So that is it. You found it on line rather than earning it. Well that negates your own proof of having been a US Marine.
How did you come to that asinine conclusion?
I have not concluded yet. But if you know where it on line maybe you only know it because you found it on line. Pretty obvious really.
So much for giving out my service info, Ron White was right “Can’t fix stupid” and as Gen Honore said, “Don’t get stuck on stupid”. You and nicky are mired in it.
You are the one that spoiled it. If you had not shown us where on the internet you got the information, then we would have presumed that you got the information because you lived it.
I did live it and wore the scuba pin when in uniform too. Scuba Diver Insignia was awarded in two degrees, one for officers and one for enlisted.
And you were a 4F.
4F Sportswear?
I’d like to believe you, but you offer just words. Can you offer us something that only a US Marine would know? Something that could not be looked up on the internet?
Had you not said all those things about Trump, we never would have even questioned it because US Marines are very seldom libtards, but are very patriotic. So you can see why everyone is suspicious.
It’s obvious the only uniform you ever wore was your Tim Walz issued drag queen outfit.
He was as much a Marine, as I was a Green Beret, hunting Charlie with the Duke… LOL.
He’s a robot.
Yes, you’re a supposed Marine, who used a M14, well after all M14’s were but in storage and replaced with the M16A1.
You being a Marine is as silly as Ledesma saying he was in Quang Tri scaring the NVA to death with a Remington pump, and that he saw a NVA infantry officer get gut shot with a “Cinderella Hitting” M16, and the very next week saw the same NVA INFANTRY officer DRIVING A TRUCK!
Appears you’re right on one thing, you don’t know-it-all. I’d like to see your proof that the Marines assigned to the MarDet aboard ships didn’t use the M14.
I never said I knew it all. But, just remember, you’re the one with a handy dark web link for EVERYTHING!
And no, I don’t dispute Marines carried M14’s, in fact they were the last branch to give them up, and replace them with the M16A1.
What I dispute, is that in your alleged time in the Marines, you carried one. Let’s see, I wonder if you can remember when you told me you were in the Marines? Remember, if you tell the truth you don’t have to have a good memory.
I enlisted in 75 and qualified with and carried the M14 for two years. Bet your rubbing that bruised know-it-all head right now trying to figure out how you got it wrong.
See that flash suppressor on that M14?
You went in service in 1975? How could you go from patriotic American to libtard in that time period? Did you get in with a libtard crowd? Have a libtard girl friend? What happened?
Be vewwy vewwy careful there, WB. Once a marine always a marine. He could probably kill you in a split second. You know them marines trained a lot in Nam with South Korean grunt martial art, double double black
AND gold belts.
Just to think of it frightens me to the core.
Not unless he comes to Yantis.

More internet definitions? Get your stir stick, you are on shit burning detail.
That doesn’t answer my question on how you sound like a 20 something lefty.
Plus, you said you were Marine diver…
I thought only Recon Marines had divers?
Wait a minute, you enlisted in the Marines, in 1975, and managed to get through all your basic and advanced training, AND make it to sea duty to rescue refugees from the fall of Saigon which was April 30th 1975?
The math isn’t mathing.
And you were a scuba diver? I thought only Recon did scuba?
You were never in the service I take it? Service members are offered jump and scuba quotas as a re-enlistment incentive.
Like you, I was never in the service.
UNLIKE you, I never CLAIMED I was in the service.
Your stories unravaling. You said you were in only 2 years. But you took a re-enlistment incentive? Sure…
Nope, you’re seriously confused. My scuba quota wasn’t a reenlistment incentive, never said it was either.
Your question was, you thought only Recon did scuba and my response was, Service members are offered jump and scuba quotas as a re-enlistment incentive.
Umm, already stated I wasn’t out on sea duty in 75. I get it your upset, those pictures prove M14’s were still in use in 75 and when I was.
Upset? Nope.
But you’ve proved nothing with a couple non descript photos.
And what’s significant about which particular flash suppressor on which particular M14?
The significance is you were proven wrong that M14’s were mothballed in 75. If you look at the pictures of Op Frequent wind, you’ll see different weapons used on land and sea during the OP by our military.
On land? What US troops were on land besides embassy Marines during the evacuation of Saigon?
Remember, Nixon? 1973? Peace with honor? America’s combat role in Vietnam ended in ’73.
And you didn’t answer what was so special about a flash hider on an M14. They all had flash hiders.
You seem to be having a very difficult time admitting that M14’s were still in use prior to, during and after 1975, in fact the M14 is still in service today. Wow, how could you have been so wrong, BWAhahaha.
Why is it whenever people lie about previous military service they all want to be a US Marine? If they wanted to be a Marine then they should had signed up at their local recruiters office and reported. This GO clown hell does he even know what an MOS is? It’s always so much better to tell the truth. Stolen valor is about as bad as it gets!
That’s a pretty serious and unfounded allegation, you wouldn’t want to go into court and prove since we’ve never met, would you? Just because you’re on a site where your identity is masked by your screen name doesn’t give you total anonymity.

People should probably not make unfounded allegations about someone character. You can reference Guiliani, pillow man, fox news etc. concerning defamation cases. Thought you were a lawyer and should know that.

My takeaway is this, don’t say or write anything about someone if you can’t provide any proof of your allegations, should they take you to court…
Have you ever met Rudy Gulliani? You just said Rudy Gulliani defamed the two womens’ character. Isn’t that writing something about someone, without admissable proof?

That is not admissible proof. There is no foundation there.
Why is rudy selling his property, sports memorabilia, cars etc. if there’s no foundation there?
Because foundation is a technical requirement of all evidence. Just because something is written by someone on the internet does not mean that it proves what you claim or the author claims it proves.

Ooh, these photos are going to bruise your know-it-all brain and fragile ego, M14’s in the hands of Marines on the carrier’s flight deck, 1975.
You should google Operation Frequent Wind that was conducted by multiple ships during the evacuation of Saigon.
Here are links to the picture of the operation and please, tell us what weapons the Marines are using. Open them or don’t, google for yourself. Booya and mic drop.
So, you, are on this carrier, in 1975? That’d would’ve made you, about 20 years old, at least, if in fact you were there. But, the strange part is, you don’t talk like a 70 odd year old man. The way you type, it all sounds, so, modern, and childish, like you’re in your 20s or maybe 30s. You don’t sound like a 70 something ex Marine. You don’t sound 70 at all.

If you’re so in the loop, then you’d know the that if you were in for two years, enlisting in ’75, you NEVER carried a SAW, and you would’ve known the pic of Brandon Herrera holding a machine gun, was not in fact a M249 SAW, but a M240.
Just look at the belt, those weren’t 5.56 rounds!
Yeah, your weapons identification and knowledge are lacking.
This exercise will require you to use split screen on your computer. Pull up a picture of both the M240MG and of the M249 SAW. Note the carry handle on the M240 is flat and thicker, when compared to the barrel changing handle of the SAW the handle is swept backward and thinner.

You know. I think we should have an option where we can select the people we always talk with and have a little board that pops up when we select it and then choose the people we want it to go to. Sometimes we talk three and four of us at a time and it’s a pain because the person says, hey music, oldman, oldvet, ope, guess what but it only goes to one person and if we are not watching we miss it.
That is a great idea. A no buttinsky button!
That could be nice but confusing. If you never answer them because they are the democrats mascot, it would be great and when they text you, there can be a statement that says autoblocked by ! ! ! so others know you are not ignoring them but that you cannot receive their comments. That way the ones that always need to have the last word are shown to be talking to themselves.

The more you talk, the less you sound like a 70 odd year old Marine.
You weren’t a Marine, nor a Marine diver, nor carried a M14 in uniform.
I think lying about wearing a uniform is probably one of the lowest things a man can do.
You’re a liar and a coward.

You’re right, I don’t support the Israeli government. I don’t support foreign aid whether it’s money, arms, etc to any foreign nation.
And no, I’m not going to advocate for anyone’s children to go fight and die for Netanyahu and AIPAC. Instead I’ll do everything I can to advocate against another endless pointless war.

You’re really have the mentality of a woke leftist, by going bonkers, when someone says something you disagree with. You refuse to debate, just spew nonsense and insults.
America 1st.
What a democrat move again.
You’re really have the mentality of a woke leftist, by going bonkers, when someone says something you disagree with. You refuse to debate, just spew nonsense and insults.
Which is exactly what you did when this whole thing started. I swear you are a leftist operative and a Hamas sympathizer blaming others for exactly what you do.
Trump won, suck it. Israel will get the support and already your hamass buddies are kissing ass.
So glad I’m not you!!!!
Take care, DICK!!!!!!
So you’re saying, because I’m against American involvement in an Israeli war, that I’m a Hamas terrorist?
Interesting, how you can determine how old anyone on the site is, can you tell how old someone is based on vernacular language they type?
Just one thing in a long list of clues…
Yep, that is what makes me suspicious, too.
Also everything he says when it comes to details, it reads like he copy ‘n pasted off of Wikipedia. It’s so hollow, like it’s AI generated, doesn’t at all read like someone wrote it, certainly not a 70 something Marine.
He also said he was a Marine scuba diver. I could be wrong, but, I thought the only Marines who were scuba divers were Recon.
Well when it comes to his writing of details, it all reads like it’s copy ‘n pasted AI generated.
So which M14’s flash suppressor’s so special?
All M14’s had flash suppressors.
That would be circa 1975. Are you positive now M14s were mothballed?
I’m positive Tampon Tim spent more time in uniform than you did.
How positive are you? Would that be about as positive that the M14 was mothballed in 75? Guffaw.
Walz served in the National Guard for nearly 24 years before retiring in May 2005.
Walz lies alot about his time in the Guard, but, he did wear a uniform.
You never wore any uniform.
The point was, that Tim Walz was in the National Guard… unfortunately.
Get Out was never in the Marines as he claims.
If you’d just calm down, and read, you’d notice that, that was all I meant. I didn’t say Tim Walz was an honorable soldier. Just that he wore a uniform and Getout never did.
Take it easy, Nick.
I thought I was replying to a post from ‘Oldman’. It seems to have disappeared. It was my mistake.
The glitches have been coming back the last few days here. Posts getting out of order, disappearing etc.
My mistake.
That was my mistake. It seems to have disappeared, but I thought I was replying to a post from ‘Oldman’. He’s been on my case, and I don’t see his post now, which I thought I was replying to.
My mistake.
I’m sure you were even more deadly than Col. Kilgore… 1st of the 9th! AIR CAV!
DEATH FROM ABOVE!
Kilgore’s aid, “But sir, it’s real hairy there, it’s Charlie’s point.”
Kilgore, “CHARLIE DON’T SURF!”
Later, Kilgore, “I love the smell of napalm in the morning…”
OK. You were doing real well until you started quoting a Hollywood movie. Do not measure anything in your life by Hollywood shows.
First, I’m not trying to win a popularity contest.
And two, it was sarcasm, for Getout to pull his hair out over, or maybe have another aneurysm.
Try not to take everything so literally.
Give me the heads up next time you employ sarcasm. I’m on a hunt here. Oh, and I am negating that down vote that you had. Just to keep things level.
Ok, I’ll try.
You’ll try what? Try to get your facts right before revealing to everyone that the M14 was mothballed in 1975?
I thought only Recon did scuba?
Nope, appears you don’t know-it-all.
I also wanted to mention, you were sure the M14 was mothballed in 1975 too.
I think you’re brain was mothballed circa 2016.
Umm, busted the site know-it-all that the M14 was in-service in 1975.
If he had shut up, he would have fooled me, but he out smarted himself.
Propaganda.
They know it in Kwajalean!
You should know, didn’t you let it slip you posted the perimeter guards in the woods?
Getout’s popcorn with… butter…
That does not sound like the kind of recipe that an MS in Kitchen Science would come up with. Surely you can do better.
Sure but this one was a pet that filled a specific niche for this individual and was hurting nothing. There are plenty of other animals to hunt and eat.
the ones that killed his pet would make good dog food
Yes, such a stupid use of governmental power should be rewarded with an immediate job termination.
PETA’s actually one of the biggest pet murderers out there. I couldn’t find a public comment from them on P’nut but no doubt they were ok with the murders. https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-peta-responsible-deaths-thousands-animals-1565532
Thanks Brian, I had no idea. I thought they would keep them and feed them and take care of them until they died of natural causes.
Data collected by Virginia’s state government shows that PETA’s euthanasia rates for cats and dogs at the shelter is exceptionally higher than other shelters in the state.
Thanks for responding and have a great day!
You were encouraging people last week not to vote for Trump. You called him an “authoritarian”. You’ve lost all credibility.
What happened to Fred the raccoon. No mention of him. He was a pet too. The government murdered two animals that day.
Our government is purely out of control.
Trump 2024
I’ll mourn the raccoon too. I voted TRUMP today, if they cheat so bad he doesn’t win I’ll push my state to secede.
I wish I could give you more thumbs up brother.
Thanks for voting.
Before you make yourself known by pushing your government, hide all your guns and cash and find a neighbor or kennel to temporarily hide your pets, too.
well, nothing more dangerous than a man who has nothing to lose… come and TRY to take it… but that is me…. do “they” know who I am.. yep and I am not elaborating on my “encounters”.
Stand my ground. Know my rights. Be respectful ( it goes a LONG ways)
let me know if you need backup.
Guess your state can stay in the UNion. Prettty much a landslide.
i use to see the Squirrel thing on my threads and wondered what the heck was that all about well i checked it out and what a crock of shit those ass holes did to Pnuts and Fred, off with there heads, i guess you can’t trust your neighbors, almost all wild animals do not make good pets, maybe a small few. i am surprised they did not go after Bob Ross the artist with his little squirrels in his top pocket. this is nuts
The last time that happened, 600,000 American men died.
Fred went hand-in-hand with the squirrel to pet heaven.
Every story about government over reach – including the killing of a pet squirrel – should include the names of the agents involved, the name of their boss, and the name of the judge or magistrate who signed the warrant. Public officials in their official duties should have NO expectation of privacy or be able to operate in relative anonymity.
They count on that anonymity in order to escape accountability. The tyrants and their henchmen know that a time will come when there will be a day of reckoning, and the last thing they want is for the people to know their names.
Wait, you expect transparency from the government?
That’ll be the day.
Yeah, find out who authorized the warrant and for what reason. Get names, address and phone numbers. Was there some politician who he had a problem with? Some busy body neighbor who didn’t like squirrels? One article said government spokesperson said the squirrel had rabies. What nonsense but since the state took away the squirrel, it will be easy for a lab to ” claim” they tested the squirrel and it had rabies. It was a indoor pet and not roaming around loose.outdoors. The owner had the pet for seven years. Articles say in Europe, the far leftist greenies are… Read more »
Love the picture of Trump holding an AR in front of three squirrels.
That would be in violation of his 34-count felony conviction. The picture must be AI generated and fake, his hands aren’t orange and don’t match his face.
Why don’t you go be with your pals at your local Tim Walz fan boy club? I’m sure you’ve be most welcome if you dressed in drag.
too bad Trump is just a NY Politician pandering for votes..
I voted for him but I am aware of the fact all he wants is votes…
he has a bad track record for gun owners… if you want to thumbs down me, you have to say specifically, why I am wrong.
I won’t thumbs down you. You’re right, he did a few bad things for us. But, I think there’s something worth remembering, it was the NRA aka Negotiating Rights Away, that was whispering in his ear, that banning bump stops and red flag laws were ok. Trump’s a New York golfer, not a gun guy. If the “nations oldest civil rights organization” with “over 5million members” comes and tells you to do something, they got your back, I can understand him listening, to LaPierre and Cox at the time. It just would’ve been nice if at the time GOA or… Read more »
Trump may well hve told BAF to “fix it” on the toybplasticstocks issue, but it never came back to him for approval or a signature. BAF just ran with it, and the next admin grabbed on and “made it law” until it went to the cours.
An excellent observation.
So?…
I guess that sounded facetious but it wasn’t meant it be.
Trump held a bad position at the time, which the NRA lobbied for.
So, it’s unconstitutional to ban bump stocks, and enact red flag laws. So why would you expect the process to be constitutional if the end goal is un constitutional?
No, trump was supposedly POTUS at the time, be PUTUS, not some lackey sitting in the chair, as the CIC he has the last decision. If you’re going to give him a free pass on important decisions and the excuse is “he’s a New York golfer, not a gun guy” is BS, he should not be POTUS.
You are just annoyed that he will be POTUS. again, and soon.
Nope, doesn’t annoy me at all he won. He ran in 2016 as out 2A guy, said he’d be there for us and screwed us over at the first chance he got. As a commander, who has the final say on the subject at hand, the commander, no one else.
Funny, above on this thread you were whining about how he’s a “felon”…
Yep, a 34-count felon too. What’s trumps fav gun… oops, never mind, as a felon he can’t have a gun.
I doubt Trump has a favorite gun. His hobby seems to be solely golf.
But, I don’t care, whether he personally likes guns or not. Just as long as he’s good on 2A, that’s good enough for me.
You seem to take perverse joy in saying Trump’s a felon, when the whole world knows his charges and trials were BS.
Gout has a limited to nil knowledge of even the basic notion that everyone is entitled to a fair trial.
Sometimes I wonder if he’s actually smarter than he sounds and just likes to get his rocks off by trolling.
I didn’t excuse anything. I said his decisions/positions at the time were very bad. What I was doing was adding some historical context.
But I don’t know why that should get your panties in a bind. You’re a member of Tim Walz’s fan boy club.
Oh… Yeah, I get it, you crapped your diaper when you found out your boy loving idol Tim Walz isn’t going to D.C….
trump isn’t a leader and failed at being POTUS. Got any more excuses for the failure in thief?
How is Trump not a leader? His companies are massive. That didn’t take leadership?
How did Trump build the MAGA movement? From his basement? I think not.
You can disagree with his policies and the things he did while being Mr. 45, but what did he steal?
How did Trump have the ability after getting shot to stand up, pumping his fist and say “FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!”
That’s not leadership?
Trump’s got more guts and leadership ability, than any other man alive.
Trump brought together the greatest coalition of diverse people in American history to make the most significant presidential come back in over a hundred years! That takes leadership.
Trump has already strengthened the dollar against every other currency in the world and forced down the price of gold. That is leadership.
The Russians are already making back channel communications about the war in Ukraine, just because Trump is president elect. That is leadership.
Both false, dork.
Mr. Colt,
You’ve gotten a lot of replied to you comment. Care to respond to any?
Five armed agents to go talk about a squirrel.
Makes me ashamed of my former occupation.
Threats and intimidation is what it was about.
How dare you defy the state.
Don’t fret Duane. Just like we can’t blame all Germans for murdering Jewish people no more than all white people are guilty of enslaving the black people.
I understand that you feel bad but remember, you didn’t do it and it is not your fault that they did so there is no reason for you to feel ashamed for what others have done.
100% correct and we didn’t go get them, the English and others brought them to us to trade for gold.

Please set this post free.
Peanut and Fred appeared were enjoying life and living happily with Longo. That, alone, was sufficient to enrage the DemoSocialist regime of NY and created the requirement for their destruction. It’s a harbinger of the fate that awaits us all if these totalitarian leftists are allowed to remain in power.
To Mike Longo, I’m so sorry you and your family had to go thru this loss. It’s such a shame that the p.o.s. NY authorities are more concerned about taking away and killing a harmless squirrel from it’s owner, than it is for them to go after the illegal alien criminals that are running rampant all over the city. I too raised a baby (boy) squirrel back around 2005, I took him in after his mother accidentally dropped him, as she was being chased off by a bunch of kids at the park. Had him living with me for about… Read more »
There are too many Barney Fifes in Law Enforcement and in the bureaucracy.
“…it raises serious questions about how much control we’re willing to surrender.”
For me, ZERO!
In the wake of the Peanut situation, the question that needs to be asked is this: Why do so many agencies have teams of guys ready to tear your house and your life apart at the drop of a hat without asking why?
JUSTICE FOR PEANUT!!! NO JUSTICE… NO PEACE!!!!
United States government agencies= Morlocks and Vampires! Prove me wrong!
Ever seen the Underworld movies? Kate Beckinsale was one tough sexy vampire. Don’t give vampires a bad name!
Death to tyrants.
It’s official. We have the Presidency, Senate and House.
Thank you God.
Trump just said that on his first day he is going to end born in America citizens. That will make a lot of people that aren’t citizens stay home. No more China momma’s coming over and popping a squat and hello, I can be an American now and have dual citizenship and move back and forth with ease making it easier to provide intel to the only country they love, China.
Just announced. 218
Yep and now all we need is the oath to be complete and then the Transformation of America and Hope and Change I can believe in starts.
Wow, good news every day this week!
meme’s are great!
So the internet goes berserk when a pet squirrel is killed, but when babies are ripped out of the womb with Shop Vacs, or flushed out the womb into toilets courtesy of Drano, that’s just another day in this crazy American Ride?
Pets are family, too, and people can form powerful emotional ties. Killing this guy’s pet was unnecessary. Often times at the end of their life, old people only have their pets for love and companionship. Their children and grand children are too busy to be family.
I agree that abortion is discusting, but look at the people that are doing it. That is who your beef is with.
You’re missing my point. I was getting at the fact that people go nuts when an animal dies, regardless of the why or the how, but when places like Planned Parenthood can commit murder in the name of eugenics, people don’t get out raged. That’s all.
I’m not sure what you mean by the people I should have a beef with. I think abortion should be outlawed, and we should have a Person-hood Amendment.
Now it tells me “Awaiting for approval”. I’ll try again.
You’re missing my point. I was getting at the fact that people go nuts when an animal d-i-e-s, regardless of the why or the how, but when places like P-l-a-n-n-e-d P-a-r-e-n-t-h-o-o-d can commit m-u-r-d-e-r in the name of e-u-g-e-n-i-c-s, people don’t get out raged. That’s all.
I’m not sure what you mean by the people I should have a beef with. I think a-b-o-r-t-i-o-n should be outlawed, and we should have a Person-hood Amendment.
Wow, so I have to use code, in order to say we should defend the lives of babies… Very conservative Ammoland.
Or maybe they are the wife and I and were not blessed with children. Our dog knows who mommy and daddy is.
So you’re in favor of eugenics?
“When the government starts dictating what pets we can own…” Have we never heard of municipality bans on specific dog breeds? How about livestock being illegal to keep within most city limits? Where was the outrage and false equivalence with our 2A struggles back when all this first started, when the witch hunts against Staffordshires and Pittbulls (or any breed that looked “aggressive” or shared heqd shape traits of the “evil” dogs like English Bull or Boxer do)? I’m sorry, I’m going to disagree on the Peanut issue. It doesn’t matter that it was a squirrel, it was a wild… Read more »
I’m sure they are out there but I certainly do not approve of having certain species of pets like cobras. Look what has happened to the everglades with its now massive population of pythons. I’m not talking Colt handguns. Escaped hippos are creating havoc to the South American ecosystem. Imagine a non-native pair of breeding poisonous snakes escaping in your neighborhood. No thank you.
Hey don’t forget farm raised deer and the whole mess those idiots have caused with spreading CWD everywhere a farm opens up.
Plus it’s not hunting, shooting a penned in farm raised critter anyhow.
I hate to say this, and no doubt someone will down vote me for saying it, but Tim Walz has actually banned new deer farms in our state, and is using the bureaucratic process to make things difficult for the ones who exist now.
Sadly, they didn’t get enough support to ban all new cervid farms, like elk for instance, just deer.
Testing…
What’s with all the AI triggers when I post, especially to you?
I’ll try again, piece meal.
Hey don’t forget farm raised deer and the whole mess those idiots have caused with spreading CWD everywhere a farm opens up.
Plus it’s not hunting, shooting a penned in farm raised critter anyhow.
The last I read up on deer farms, they do not contribute to the spread of CWD and are certainly not the origin of the disease. They can be subject to infection by contact with an infected non-captive deer ‘rubbing noses’ through a fence and because of close quarters spread the infection to the entire herd.
Elk herds will never be large enough to accommodate everyone who would like to hunt for one. If the meat was available commercially around here I’d buy some.
Approval jail is pretty random. You post a lot so expect to get trapped a lot.
I know some articles will say they don’t. But when looking at a map of Minnesota, and the CWD outbreaks, at the center of the zone, is always a deer farm. The state, well the AG dept, now I presume it’ll be the DNR because Walz changed the oversight authority, constantly goes out to the deer farms and culls the heard due to CWD, then pays the “farmer” back with taxpayer money. The fencing, is another issue as well. They haven’t made them, until recently double up the fence so they can’t go nose to nose with wild deer. Lately… Read more »
Hey it posted, first try!
The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) who tracks CWD has a very nice monthly magazine and I’m working from memory on an article I read several years ago. They talked about the progression of the disease into the State and I think there were rules introduced to require double fencing. They have articles every year on CWD and where it is most concentrated. I never see venison in the grocery stores so I don’t know who these ranchers sell to. A decade or so ago Arby’s advertised they would serve venison sandwiches. People lined up beginning at 05:00 and they… Read more »
The hunting regs sound more or less like MN.
The venison isn’t slaughtered like cattle from a ranch. The farms are game farms, but instead of birds, it’s deer they raise. But unlike pheasants or grouse, etc, deer can’t be penned up without massive likely hood of disease such as CWB.
Elk, I believe is a different matter, and can be farmed and the meat sold. That’s why you see it available sometimes. But venison cannot.
I just posted with Firefox, worked fine.
Part 2, will the AI get upset? Or will it be ok?
I hate to say this, and no doubt someone will down vote me for saying it, but Tim Walz has actually banned new deer farms in our state, and is using the bureaucratic process to make things difficult for the ones who exist now.

Nope, not ok, so now in code…
Part 2, will the AI get upset? Or will it be ok?
I h-a-t-e to say this, and no doubt someone will down vote me for saying it, but T-i-m W-a-l-z has actually b-a-n-n-e-d new d-e-e-r f-a-r-m-s in our state, and is using the b-u-r-e-a-u-c-r-a-t-i-c process to make things difficult for the ones who exist now.
Sadly, they didn’t get enough s-u-p-p-o-r-t to b-a-n all new c-e-r-v-i-d f-a-r-m-s, like e-l-k for instance, just d-e-e-r.
Is this ok now?
How did that trigger Ammoland’s AI? What’s wrong? How did that violate their terms of service or whatever?
No threats, no foul language, no spam. What gives?
I mean, people can agree or disagree with my opinion on d-e-e-r and W-a-l-z and the b-a-n etc, but, what gives with the “Awaiting for approval”?
Have known people who kept raccoons as pets and loved them dearly. Only issue was that it was overly protective of their children – much like a dog can be. Peanut’s owner also had a raccoon (Fred) – he’s largely ignored because he was not a YouTube star. I wouldn’t want to keep a deer as a pet, but there are many ranches where they are raised as livestock. Far more hunting properties where they provide feed plots to try to attract deer. Do you harangue those people as well since their deer are just as likely to run into… Read more »
STAY THE F++K away from wildlife and quit trying to domesticate them.. wildlife is dispatched all the time over this issue… this article sounds like a left wing nut job wrote it. maybe he did.
Did you read the back story of Peanut? It was abandoned as a baby and almost died. It was then nursed back to health, and an unsuccessful attempt was made to “re-wild” it. In that attempt it again almost died and lost half its tail to some sort of predator. Again it was nursed back to health and because it could not survive in the wild, it became a pet. While there is an argument to be made for letting nature take its course, there is also a solid argument for providing humane aid to injured animals. That a government… Read more »
