Migrant’s family sues hunter, ranch owner over shooting death

Saturday, April 16th, 2005

It appears the Mexican Government is funding lawsuits against American’s for wrongful death in hunting accidents. Interestingly the defendant is also hispanic, or at least his name is as is the name of the Ranch where the shooting occurred.
First off the man killed was killed in the commission of a Felony even though that wasn’t […]

United States Fire-Arms Gunslinger Review

Saturday, April 16th, 2005

Jeff Quinn over at GunBlast has posted a review of United States Fire-Arms’ New “Old” Gunslinger Sixgun. The Gunslinger is basically USFA’s standard SAA but the finish has been aged to what one would expect to find on a 100 year old Colt. The imagry is impressive.

Ephedra Ban Overturned

Friday, April 15th, 2005

I thought maybe I was alone in thinking the ephedra ban was a load of malarchy, the perverbial toe in the water for the FDA to extend their reach into food suplements which they’ve been after for years. Now it looks like a Federal Judge has overturned the ban because the FDA did not […]

Move over Smith & Wesson

Friday, April 15th, 2005

Here comes the garden gnome! There is something seriously wrong with a country and culture that abandons its senior citizens to defend themselves with yard ornaments.

Sleep Peacably

Fair Tax

Wednesday, April 13th, 2005

I’d love to see the Fair Tax legislation actually make it through but it’s chances are nil. And though it makes sense I have to wonder what type of economic downturn the US would take when all the accountants, IRS employees and tax lawyers find themselves unemployed.

Citizen’s Arrest

Wednesday, April 13th, 2005

In the more civilized days of America it was actually desirable for a citizen to step in and stop the commission of a Felony and we used to call it Citizen’s Arrest.

Keyboard Failure!

Tuesday, April 12th, 2005

It has been many years since I switched to Microsoft Natural ty*e keyboards and though I have gone through a few mainly due to Dorito debris never has one sim*ly failed.
Until today.

What’s Wrong With Bolton

Tuesday, April 12th, 2005

Simple and obvious, he puts US Interests above the interests of the member of the 2-bit dictators club. Funny this is yet another Republican under attack for doing his job.

Bringing Down “The Hammer”

Tuesday, April 12th, 2005

Ah, the truth coming from their own media outlets! The Liberals are out to get Tom DeLay because he is an effective leader who has the will and temerity to achieve the goals of the Republican majority. In plain English and their own words that means DeLay “intimidates them”! Funny thing…. that is […]

Iran takes action against U.S. for funding opposition

Tuesday, April 12th, 2005

If this goes anywhere it’s time to turn our forces in Iraq due west and go.
And of course Iran isn’t complaining about the Russian monies influencing their “government”…

The Minuteman Project

Tuesday, April 12th, 2005

Accuracy in Media is running a good Geoff Metcalf piece, In Defense of the Minuteman Project, setting straight the misreporting and under reporting of this group. There is something of a revolution going on in the South West and the press is complicit in covering it up.

George Soros behind Bolton Opposition

Tuesday, April 12th, 2005

It looks like George Soros may be behind the nasty grilling of John Bolton. Not a surprise since Soros goal is to bring down America.

The Reason DeLay is a Target

Monday, April 11th, 2005

The Democrats and Liberals are achieving most of their objectives not by getting new legislation passed but rather by getting judges to ignore written law and judicial precedent and instead rule on cases based on International Law and how they “feel” about the issue. Tom DeLay is someone with a voice in Washington that […]

Why you can’t trust the Senate

Monday, April 11th, 2005

After the witch hunt for who in the Bush Administration may have “outed” a CIA officer last year John Kerry does it in a public hearing. Senator Lugar also mentioned the agent’s name in public but the article does not relate in what context.
The one thing it does show is that it’s […]

The Concerted Attack on Tom DeLay

Monday, April 11th, 2005

Robert Novak reports on the Quest to get a Republican to fight DeLay
The Democratic establishment and left-wing activists have targeted DeLay as the way to end a decade of Republican control of the House.
Tom DeLay is one of the most powerful and effective Republicans in office. And Republicans that can get the job done are […]

Legacy Sports Bowie

Monday, April 11th, 2005

I found out over the weekend that the Bowie knife I got from Legacy Sports for “$9.95 shipping” when I bought the Rossi 1892 is listed in wholesaler catalogs for $54!. I’m not sure what shocks me more, that I got it for $10 or that anyone would actually pay $79.95 retail for Chinese […]

Fry’s Electronics

Monday, April 11th, 2005

While I spent my weekend gun shopping Jeff was shopping electronics at the new Fry’s off of I-69 north of 96th Street. Jeff’s comments are something of a let down after all the hype I’ve heard about how great Fry’s is. At the same time what ever lives up to it’s hype in the […]

Proportionate vs Progressive Taxation

Monday, April 11th, 2005

“For an illustration of the difference between proportionate and progressive taxation, we can look to the Bible. There, tithing is explained as the economic basis of our Judaic-Christian religions. The Lord says you shall contribute one-tenth and He says, ‘If I prosper you 10 times as much you will give 10 times as much.’ That […]

New Vaquero And….

Monday, April 11th, 2005

I do love to go gun shopping with the Wife on Sunday afternoons, we’re 2 for 2 in the Good Deal category. I wasn’t really in the market for a Winchester carbine today though I had thought about picking up the saddle ring carbine version of my 1892. But I’ve passed up good […]

Beretta And More SAA Shopping

Saturday, April 9th, 2005

Speaking with a Beretta rep today about their Stampede series I picked up a tid-bit or two on up-and-coming models from Beretta. He didn’t have exact dates but expected “sometime around October” would see Beretta release a Smith & Wesson top-break model and a Bisley model. I asked about 1875/1890 Remingtons (of which […]
