Counter Point

Wednesday, February 19th, 2003

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 […]

Time to take some back

Wednesday, February 19th, 2003

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 […]

Down with Don

Wednesday, February 19th, 2003

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 […]

Life in the Boonies

Monday, February 17th, 2003

I have lived in the boonies these past 12 years and see deer almost daily. So it is a normal day to be driving down the road, either just off the highway or almost to the house, and see a dozen deer trying to decide if they should cross the road or wait for a […]

AW Ban Sunset Countdown

Sunday, February 16th, 2003

I realize that there are many in the world that do not understand the opposition to the 1994 ban on so-called “Assault Weapons”. These are the same people that either supported the ban or simply did not care because it did not effect them in any way.
Everyone should care. The liberties guarenteed […]

The Second Amendment Protection Act of 2003

Wednesday, February 5th, 2003

Finally, someone in the House of Representitives is doing something! On January 8th, Rep. Paul introduced H.R. 153, The Second Amendment Protection Act of 2003. Write letters, send e-mail, make phone calls…

Mr. Speaker, I rise to restore the right the founding fathers saw as “the guarantee of every other right’’ by introducing the Second […]

AW Ban Sunset Website

Wednesday, February 5th, 2003

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 […]

You Know You Are Living In The Year 2003 When…

Wednesday, February 5th, 2003

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 […]

France Surrenders to Texas High School

Tuesday, February 4th, 2003

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 of […]

In a search for information I ran across this blog. Some interesting stuff so take a peek.

Columbia, Media Bias, Jane Russel and more…

Tuesday, February 4th, 2003

Saturday brought back memories of January 1986 which is still a vivid day in my mind even if I had to look up the exact date. But I recall clearly where I was in 1986, what I was doing, who I was with and what I thought.

In some ways my own views on the world […]
