The Anti’s often find it unimaginable that a “bunch of rednecks” would be able to stand up to a goverment if that government became tyrannical as they sometimes do. While perusing the History Channel poll discussions on the most important Right (2nd Amendment at 65%) I found this quote that says a lot about capabilities [...]
It is too bad that this piece of legislation is likely doomed to die in a committee somewhere… but it’s a good start at recovering some of what we’ve lost over the last century or so…. H.R. 648 was introduced at the Federal level and as someone noted is among the most straight forward written [...]
Old Don is in the news again, quoted in the Indy Star. It is an impractical dream, but I wish the local media would realize this guy knows little about the shooting community as once a member of that community has been screwed to the wall by Don, they find out the truth pretty quickly [...]

Thanks to the friendly shooters over at The High Road for posting a great link on the coming sunset of the 1994 Crime Bill. The time is now to start hounding our elected representation and educating them on the severe ill effects of this legislation on our liberty and National Security. There is a scoreboard [...]
Brad has forwarded me the updated “You may be a geek if….” for 2003. Except it’s no longer about geeks. In the last couple of years most of these have become common to geeks and non-geeks alike… Somehow I feel we’re loosing our exclusivity! How many are you guilty of? 1. Your reason for not [...]
Oh beautiful satire… Cybercast News Service is running an excellent piece by David Burge. The entire article is excellent but this snippet really stands out: White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said President Bush vowed to “immediately send Secretary of State Powell to the United Nations to request the scheduling of a vote for the formulation [...]
