By
January 22, 2008

You might have noticed that the “posted by” header on the blog has changed from Ahab to a name which you’ve not seen before.  That would be my real name. But don’t worry, I will still respond to Ahab, and you can of course continue to Call me Ahab.

How to Bubba up a gun

By
January 22, 2008

I don’t even like 1911 type pistols, and I still think this is a fugly ass gun. It’s a solution in search of a question for sure, except that this solution is wrong.  So it’s like running around yelling the answer to 2+2= 7 or something. Wow.  That’s just an awful thing to do...

By
January 22, 2008

From my NRA-ILA Grassroots alert: On Wednesday, January 23, the Senate Committee on Local Government and Elections will likely consider Senate Bill 29, introduced by Senator Jeff Drozda (R-21).

By
January 22, 2008

Sebastian has one of his best posts ever up, describing the deep hypocrisy involved in the media’s defense of the DC Gun ban. On Jan. 11, the DC Appleseed Center for Law and Justice filed a brief in the Supreme Court, asking the court to uphold the District’s segregation law in the case of...

Virginia Gun show loophole

By
January 22, 2008

The bill to close the mythical “gun show loophole” in Virginia seems to be stalling.  In the Virginia House on Friday, the bill was voted down in committee and essentially killed; however today the Virginia Senate will be taking up the Senate version of the bill, which is noticeably stronger than the legislation that...

Mercury Morris

By
January 22, 2008

Is still an idiot.  I’m listening to him on Mike and Mike in the Morning right now; and he keeps saying that the ’07 Patriots will be the “2nd best team in football history”; and that the Dolphins record “can never be broken”. I have a newsflash for you Mercury – you went 17-0;...
