1917 Smith & Wesson .45 ACP for sale

I’m selling my ’37 Brazilian Contract Smith & Wesson; the gun isn’t in bad shape or anything, I just don’t shoot it that much and could likely use the money to add to the “Buy me more Berettas” fund. This is the blaster itself, as you can see it’s in pretty good condition, with...

Down the memory hole

By
May 30, 2008

Not even two hours after I publish my rebuttal of the Guns and Meat post an alert reader (thanks Boyd) has pointed out that the original post has now been taken down by the Brady Campaign. I am actually really surprised at how fast that went down. If you’re looking for it, here’s the...

God and guns

By
May 30, 2008

A couple of blogs have pointed out recently there is a relatively new astroturf anti-gun blog out there which is part of the Brady Campaign’s “God not Guns” faith based campaign.  Aside from the fact that once again Brady has to pay someone to be their grassroots, I am rather deeply concerned and perturbed...

Going to the Gun Show

By
May 30, 2008

The Indy 1500 starts today – I’ll be there after work this afternoon cruising the aisles for vintage Berettas.  Specifically, I’m looking for a post WWII ’34 Beretta in 9mm Kurz to go with my WWII vintage ’35 Beretta in .32 ACP. I’ll try and grab some pictures of what Tam describes as a...

Answering comments

By
May 29, 2008

I logged into Haloscan recently to see if anyone had been leaving comments at my old blog’s URL, and much to my shock and surprise I found out that people actually had, despite the fact that I haven’t posted any new content there in 6 or so months. But I don’t want people to...

Quote of the day

By
May 29, 2008

From Mrs. Ahab: Why don’t you ask the Indians about what happens when you let the government take away your guns?  Oh wait, you can’t because they’re all dead. While not entirely true, it does make the adequate point that generally when the government disarms you, it’s not because they want to plant flowers...

Armed man stops mass shooting

By
May 29, 2008

Crazy guy goes into bar intent on murdering a crapload of people – there is an armed man with a carry permit in the bar as well. Predictably, a massive gunbattle with dozens of wounded bystanders ensued the bad guy shot a couple of people before the permit holder drilled him. Two innocent people...

Mitch Daniels and Gun Rights

By
May 29, 2008

In case you hadn’t noticed, there is an election on in Indiana for the office of Governor.  Unless you’ve never read my blog before, it should be pretty obvious by now that I’m supporting Mitch Daniels for governor, especially since his opponent is the rather objectionable Jill Long Thompson. I honestly think that Mitch...

From Thomas Sowell: For people on the left, however, blacks are trophies or mascots, and must therefore be put on display. Nowhere is that more true than in politics. Read it all.

Ban the SKS 47

By
May 28, 2008

You know, sometimes I wish I was an anti-gun person, because it must be really, really awesome to operate with impunity outside of the realm of logic and facts. “Today we’re having a conversation on whether an SKS 47 (photo)  should not be banned from use in the city of Philadelphia. Can you imagine...
