“We must reject the idea that every time a law’s broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.”
-Ronald Reagan

The whole of the Bill of Rights
Quote of the Day
“The whole of the Bill [of Rights] is a declaration of the right of the people at large or considered as individuals … It establishes some rights of the individual as unalienable and which consequently, no majority has the right to deprive them of.”
-Albert Gallatin
I have an eighteenth-century attitude
“One legislator accused me of having a nineteenth-century attitude on law and order. That is a totally false charge. I have an eighteenth-century attitude. That is when the Founding Fathers made it clear that the safety of law-abiding citizens should be one of the government’s primary concerns.”
-Ronald Reagan
Give me liberty, or give me death
“Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!”
-Patrick Henry
Range Time
Range time is awesome! There’s no denying the fact that an hour at the range will make any bad day into a great day. It’s the perfect stress reliever and is beneficial in many ways; you become more familiar with your firearms, you become a better shooter and you inherently become a safer firearm owner.
We here at Patriots Rising also promote training. Training is one of the best ways to advance your firearm knowledge and skills. Find a local firearms instructor in your area that you’re comfortable with and start taking classes – train, train, train is our motto. Attending training classes is even more rewarding if you have a training partner; I’m extremely lucky because my wife loves firearms and shooting as much as I do. We very much enjoy taking classes to advance our knowledge and skills. If you have children then you have an opportunity to train and share your love of firearms with our next generation of shooters.
We focus a lot on our Constitutional rights, laws and regulations and the corrupt Politicians that have a direct impact on our freedoms, sometimes we just need to take a step back from all of that and spend some time sending some lead downrange!
We’ll leave you with this Annie Oakley quote
Aim at a high mark
“Aim at a high mark and you’ll hit it. No, not the first time, nor the second time. Maybe not the third. But keep on aiming and keep on shooting for only practice will make you perfect.”
-Annie Oakley
The greatest threat to the war on terrorism
“The greatest threat to the war on terrorism isn’t the Islamic insurgency — our military can handle the savages. It’s traitorous liberals trying to lose the war at home”
-Ann Coulter
The American Revolution
“The American Revolution was a beginning, not a consummation.”
-Woodrow Wilson
United States Flag – Respect
No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
- The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property. (Image)
- The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise. (Image)
- The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free. (Image)
- The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white, and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker’s desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general. (Image)
- The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way. (Image)
- The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling. (Image)
- The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature. (Image)
- The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything. (Image)
- The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown. (Image)
- No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart. (Image)
- The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning. (Image)
