good news on all fronts

Well this is certainly good news for the pro-rights activists of America:

The number of people applying for and receiving permits to carry concealed weapons has risen dramatically throughout the United States during the last two years, and it continues to rise, yet the number of felony killings of police

faster than

So where did that $10,000,000 figure come from?
Well, if you go back and watch the chase scene from Bullitt (an honestly unimpressive movie, but a fantastic chase), you will notice that Frank’s Mustang had a unique exhaust note – a sound that was probably more-common back in those days, …

quote of the day

Today’s quote comes from the unknown-to-me Midwest Chick and her comment over at Tam’s place:

And I guess that’s kind of the point, as Roberta aptly outlines. Just as sex offenders get harassed, such a database can increase the chance that one of us is going to have to

the least we can do

Ten toys from Amazon.com: $50.

Dropping them off at a local United States Marine Corps recruiting center: 5 minutes.
Knowing that ten kids will have at least one (hopefully additional) present under the tree: Priceless.
There are some things money can buy. For some other things, Marines can make

Basic Instinct 1 and 2: Aside from a paltry excuse to see Sharon Stone naked (and these days, who has not?), what was the point?…

one or the other

If you are one of those anti-rights advocates who support “waiting periods” before the purchase of any firearm (of which there seem to be quite a few), I have a relatively simple question for you, with a few lead-in facts for clarification:
Fact the First: Almost a year-and-a-half ago, all

beat me to the punch

Speaking of not having enough money…
A little while back, regular readers might remember that I wrote about a very shiny 10-22 barrel design that incorporated a suppressor-length flash suppressor that was wide enough to actually accept a suppressor pinned-and-welded to what would otherwise be an SBR-length barrel (this marvel …

avatars of history

So I went to see Avatar today, despite the copious number of reports indicating that the sermonizing and proselytizing contained therein would far outweigh the potential benefit/entertainment of the copious quantity of high-powered graphics, and rather than my standard one-line throw-away comment, I am going to go a little deeper …

plain as the nose on his face

If you ever wanted further proof that the anthropogenic global warming cult was never about the environment, being “green”, or “saving the planet”, you do not need to look any farther than the recent conference at Copenhagen:

Then President Chavez brought the house down.

When he said the process

nice package

Sadly, I lack the funds at the moment to take advantage of these deals, but perhaps some of my readers will be more lucky:

YEAR END SPECIALS!!! IT’S TIME TO SAVE BIG WITH C3D!!! NOVEMBER 1ST THRU DECEMBER 31ST

WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!!!

see what they see

So for those folks out there who are concerned about the design of their particular webpages, this is a relatively interesting little tool.
The full explanation is available here, but it basically boils down to the fact that a lot of people do not view webpages at very …

keep an eye on it

The bow of this thing could not have been accidental……

so ugly it might be cute

I need a new caliber to stock like a need a hole in my wallet, and I need a new, unproven firearm design like a need Yugo… but… still… want. The irrational desire probably has something to do with that firearm potentially being the closest I will ever get …

reading comprehension fail

So I am a little behind the curve on this one, but it is just too amusing, and outright frustrating, to allow to pass without comment.
Back when Our Glorious now-President was campaigning for his current job, he made the following promise:

Too often bills are rushed through Congress

Anyone care about TN-6?

The house that I bought is in Tennessee’s 6th District–the one being vacated by Bart Gordon.
So far, there are SIX GOP candidates that have announced since Monday. I’ve been perusing some campaign sites, and already asked one what they meant when they said they were a “licensed gun owner,” …

what do you fear?

Caleb recently touched on something that I want to take a moment and expound upon. A common thread amongst anti-rights bigots these days is that “average Americans” (namely, the bigots themselves) do not “trust” us with firearms, and because they do not trust us, they believe our rights should be …

better to keep your mouth shut

A little while ago, the president of a custom firearm manufacturing house decided to publicly support then-Senator Barack Hussein Obama for President. That corporate president spoke not only as a private citizen, but also as the owner and founder of his particular business. Those of us who appreciate and defend …

’round and ’round he goes

I could probably be called a hypocrite for saying this, but some people have way too much spare time.
But good lord it is cool.…

please show your work

This list, amazing though it may be, would be inordinately more useful if its author, a certain Jim McConalogue, had provided citations for each of his 100 points. Nothing more than a hyperlink at the end of each, or even just a cut-and-pasted web address, would have been …

the way things are going

These days, I almost (almost) feel sorry for MikeB302000 – he just cannot catch a break. Earlier this month, SayUncle summarily dismissed him:

Mike, I note that you didn’t address my point. Because you’re stupid. Go away, the adults are talking.

… and ever since, MikeB302000 has …
