I just don’t understand

By
July 31, 2007

The mindset behind editorials like this. The author is concerned about her and her husband’s safety. She asks if they should buy and gun, and eventually comes to the conclusion that they shouldn’t, out of fear for the safety of their granddaughters. She then relates her personal story of how she was almost shot...

By
July 31, 2007

You already couldn’t buy or sell firearms on EBay, and now they’ve added even more things to the list of prohibited items. eBay currently bans guns and other weapons from its site (see its “Prohibited and Restricted Items list), and is now adding any firearm part that is required for the firing of a...

Cops avoid shootout with toy gun toting teens

By
July 31, 2007

The title of today’s blog is the actual headline from an article in the Detroit Free Press. Honestly, I’m confused. So you didn’t shoot a bunch of kids with airsoft guns, what, do you want a cookie or something? I understand that it was a “charged” situation, and the police were responding to a...

Scary fake gun-porn

By
July 30, 2007

A company called “Real Action Paintball” has released their newest gun marker, which looks just like an AK47, right down to the wood handguards. You can see pictures right here. I’m not a big fan of paintball, as I’m generally opposed to shooting people with guns (pretend or otherwise) for fun. That being said,...

The LA Times favors a collectivist view of the 2nd Amendment! Now, I know that may come as an absolute shock to most of you – the concept of a mainstream paper favoring a collectivist/socialist interpretation of the right to keep and bear arms. Now, for the most part this editorial is typical “big...

New gun!

By
July 30, 2007

The Brazilian Contract Smith & Wesson I talked about here arrived while I was in Michigan. I got home yesterday and dinked around with it a bit. I’d like to thank the GunBroker seller who tossed in some half-moon clips for free as well; I’d hate to be at the range punching the empties...

Good enough for James Bond

By
July 27, 2007

And good enough for me. Of course, I’m speaking of the venerable .32 Automatic Colt Pistol cartridge, known in Europe as 7.65mm. I just watched the film “Dr. No” the other day, I was struck by the scene in which 007 is instructed to turn over his Beretta in favor of the Walther PPK,...

I have got to remember

By
July 26, 2007

that my parents read my blog. Sorry about the language, there. My dad does make the excellent point that while it can be effective in reaching certain demographics, the use of profanity certainly is not a “language skill”; and with my vocabulary really shouldn’t be something that I resort to on any sort of...

Protip: Don’t "drag ‘em inside"

By
July 26, 2007

Have you ever heard the one from the gun store commando? It goes “shoot ‘em outside and drag ‘em inside”, the idiotic logic behind that being that the fuzz aren’t going to prosecute you if the body is inside the house. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together and make a spark should...
