From the Golden Throne of Truth

By
February 28, 2009

I tried. I really tried to like Dollhouse. I tried because I like Joss Whedon, and I want to support the work he does. But I watched it on Hulu, and it was not good.  It just isn’t that good. Sorry Joss Whedon, maybe next time.

Don’t worry, we’ll protect the horrible post-apocolyptic world

By

As a member of the video game generation, this Onion Video touches me in a way few humor videos can. Are Violent Video Games Adequately Preparing Children For The Apocalypse?

Speed Shooting

By
February 27, 2009

A user over at TFL posted the following question the other day: how do I shoot faster? It was met with the predictable response of “practice”, which while good doesn’t help as much if you don’t tell the new guy specifically what they need to be practicing.  I’m recycling my response from TFL because...

By
February 27, 2009

It seems that the left can’t run away from a new AWB fast enough. Now the AHSA, our favorite fake gun group – is saying that an AWB would be bad policy. Impressive.

February 27, 2009

The United States Senate has voted, with overwhelming bipartisan support, to adopt an amendment offered by Senator John Ensign (R-NV) that seeks to protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens in the District of Columbia. The amendment, attached to S.160, the D.C. Voting Rights Act, will repeal restrictive gun control laws passed by the...

Everybody out of the pool!

By
February 27, 2009

It seems that Democrat leadership is already trying to distance themselves from Attorney General Holder’s statements about renewing the AWB. Via Unclesaurus I get this tidbit from Speaker of the House Pelosi: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tossed cold water on the prospect of reinstating the assault weapons ban, highlighting Democrats’ reluctance to take on...

Pins this weekend!

By
February 26, 2009

There is a bowling pin match scheduled for this weekend at Marion County Fish and Game. Just in time for me, because I think I was starting to go in to shooting withdrawal with all the match cancellations that I’d had lately, I haven’t fired a round downrange since the January steel match. The...

1911 Gun Porn

All from Guncrafter Industries, makers of the .50 GI 1911. First up is their “American” Model, a loaded 1911 on which pricing is still not available on their website, however as you can see from the SHOT SHOW picture (previous published here) it is filled with bells and whistles. From SHOT SHOW 2009 I...
