A known Felon runs for a council seat and pulls in 61%. Birds of a feather, I guess…

U.S. Signs Colorado River Protection Pact

Thursday, September 16th, 2004

As if the Federal Government needs another 8100 acres. There are many that try to make these types of conservation efforts who have sincere and noble goals. But there are those in the green movement that would like to eventually see all us horrid people caged into cities to better protect their goddess. Usually […]

Europe Ignoring U.S. on Iran Nukes

Thursday, September 16th, 2004

As usual the EU is stricken with Chamberlain Syndrom over Iran’s nuke enrichment plan. The too fem EU doesn’t have what it takes to actually stand before the powers that be in Iran and yell “LIAR” in their face. In a country with some of the largest oil reserves in the world, with gasoline at […]

Annan blubbering over “legality” of Iraq Invasion

Thursday, September 16th, 2004

Once again Annan is feeling the pressure caused by the marginalization of the United Nations as any form of useful endeavor so he’s trying to be all scary and say the invasion was illegal because the UN didn’t say it was ok. At the same time the the UN did nothing in the Balkans […]

Jay Leno

Thursday, September 16th, 2004

I always prefer Jay Leno over David Letterman for late night viewing as Jay harpoons both sides of the political spectrum with equal gusto. Letterman, on the otherhand, might as well be wearing a “Kerry-Edwards” shirt during his show. But it seems the even handedness of Leno’s humor came under fire recently and was even […]

RatherGate

Thursday, September 16th, 2004

Loved seeing Rather interview Killian’s secretary.
Rather spoke after interviewing the secretary to Bush’s former squadron commander, who told him that the memos attributed to her late boss are fake — but that they reflect the commander’s belief that Bush was receiving preferential treatment to escape some of his Guard commitments.

Many others have already said […]

What was that noise?

Tuesday, September 14th, 2004

It was the other shoe hitting the floor as Tony Blair again turns liberal and starts calling in favors.
The scariest part is that Blair doesn’t think Kyoto goesfar enough!

AWB Effects, Knight puts foot in mouth

Monday, September 13th, 2004

Am I reading too much into his quotes or is Reed Knight of Knight Armaments really saying that firearm ownership is a privilege??
“I’m glad to see the thing sunset,” said Reed Knight Jr., owner of Knight’s Armament Co., a firearms manufacturer in Titusville with extensive military contracts. He said the ban was confusing, […]

Wrong Media Gets It Wrong

Monday, September 13th, 2004

I mentioned earlier that many of us were making fun of the mainstream press for not reading the ATF’s own website on when the AWB actually expires which was at 12:01AM this morning, 9-13-04. So I’m reading over on NRO and now have to either take back the unkind words I uttered today about […]

on the Assault-Weapons Ban

Monday, September 13th, 2004

A few others comment on the expiration of the ban. Dave Kopel gives a briefe history lesson yet gets it wrong on when the ban expires. Some interesting stuff including some insightful quotes:
“Passing a law like the assault weapons ban is a symbolic — purely symbolic — move in that direction. Its only real justification […]

Zell Responds

Monday, September 13th, 2004

After being called everything from an angry nut, a traitor, a liar and drugged up mind controlled zombie for his speech at the Republican Convention Zell Miller is shooting back.

Typical Duplicity from NYT

Monday, September 13th, 2004

While the left trys to lambast the Bush administration over jobs and outsourcing a big time Kerry proponent is making money hand over fist “off the backs of the working poor”.

Media Gets It Wrong - Again

Monday, September 13th, 2004

With the sunset of the AWB early this morning the country was flooded with reports on how there would be mayhem in the streets tomorrow when the ban sunset. Some of us around the office snickered at this because we knew the ban had already sunset even though the the media was widely reporting otherwise. […]

Flashback to 2000

Monday, September 13th, 2004

Kerry would do well to remember that partially due to the Gun Control issue Gore couldn’t even carry his home state in 2000.
According to a recent CBS/NY Times poll, women with kids support Bush over Gore on gun issues by 7 percentage points.
Progressive Reivew isn’t exactly a Right Wing source of firearms stats and […]

Putin’s Power Grab?

Monday, September 13th, 2004

It looks like the former spook is making a power grab using the fight against terror as an excuse. So if he wants to change wire tapping laws to catch up with cellular and VOIP technology that’s one thing. But what he wants to do is appoint governors and put the fangs back into a […]

Crime At 30-Year Low

Monday, September 13th, 2004

The experts seem baffled as to why our crime rate is at a 30 year low and holding but I know why. It’s 36 states with right to carry laws, most added to the books over the past decade.
If you want crimials to find a new line of work increase his work-place hazards - […]

Kerry on Gun Control

Monday, September 13th, 2004

I wonder where John Kerry was in 1994 when many of his cronies lost their jobs in the midterm elections for supporting Clinton’s 1994 “Assault Weapons” ban? It’s rather obvious he has forgotten how much of a political 3rd rail gun control can be.
What is rather amusing is Kerry has accused VP Cheney and the […]

My images, Linking & Fair Use

Monday, September 13th, 2004

Because of excessive bandwidth usage hot linking to my images is not allowed. My website is not configured such that linking to my images, unless they’re being linked to the boards listed at right, will not work but give an warning graphic instead.
If you want to link to my images that’s ok but you […]

Bye-Bye AWB

Monday, September 13th, 2004

I can barely believe it’s actually happened. We’ve been watching and waiting for this day for 10 years and it’s finally here.
The semi-auto “assault weapon” farce is finally over!
From the ATF website
Semiautomatic Assault Weapon Update
By statute, the prohibitions relating to semiautomatic assault weapons and large capacity ammunition feeding devices expired on September 13, 2004. […]

Places to Shoot

Saturday, September 11th, 2004

I’ve searched high and low for a good range/club in Indiana. There are some but most are way too far to be worht the trip considering I can shoot on my own property. But getting 100 clean yards in the middle of the woods requires more maintenance time than I get back in shooting time […]

Medical Research

“There is more money being spent on breast implants and Viagra than on Alzheimer’s research. This means that by 2020, there should be a large elderly population with perky boobs and huge erections and absolutely no recollection of what to do with them.” — Anonymous

Bill Clinton Was Right

Saturday, September 11th, 2004

If Bill Clinton Was Right then why is it wrong when President Bush follows through? Because a Democrat president isn’t the one getting the glory the Republican one has to take the blame.
