cowboys & aliens

Cowboys & Aliens – Precisely as advertised… have your “I believe” button handy. 

On a related note, is anyone else getting annoyed at how scenes portrayed in the trailers are not showing up in the actual movie any more?  The, “Should we step in?” conversation in a trailer occurred nowhere …

they say a picture is worth a thousand words

But sometimes adding some words to the picture greatly increases the overall impact:

And that is, unfortunately, the God’s Honest Truth.  The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence Ownership cannot point to a single instance where any of the laws they have supported or do support have saved a single …

you sank my shape-changing, alien ship thingie!

On the one hand, a movie based off Battleship (no, really, the board game) is possibly the most ludicrous thing I have ever heard of.

On the other hand, it seems to give the Navy some good airtime (despite dressing the actors in the same mind-numbingly idiotic Navy Working

Now, we wait

Just ordered and paid for the suppressor. 8-12 weeks until it gets to my FFL,  and then we get to do the ATF paperwork.

Cost so far: $1130

why did borders fail?

Anecdotally, when I hit up the Borders sale in our area, it took a 30% markdown to get their prices anywhere near what I could procure online (except on certain things like Feed and Deadline, but those were only 10% off), and even then, I very carefully checked every …

seems familiar

Does anyone else feel like Riff (the dude in the sunglasses) when attempting to converse with anti-rights cultists?

Seem to be a striking number of similarities…

chiappa / mks supply fail

I sent the following email to Charles Brown, President of MKS Supply “cbrown (at) mkssupply.com”, Kelly Walton, Vice President “kwalton (at) mkssupply.com”, Kenneth Vanhoose, Director of Operations “kvanhoose (at) mkssupply.com”, and the generic “info (at) mkssupply.com” address this morning, and I additionally copy-pasted it into the Contact Form at Chiappa

not fitting the propaganda

One of the favorite lies of the anti-rights cultists (at least when they are not whinging about the NRA being all-powerful – consistency is not their strong suit) is that the firearm industry is dying/drying up/collapsing/shrinking/etc.

If that were actually the case, I wonder what the explanation would be for …

what the market will bear

Well this is some interesting news from Coal Creek Armory

This question has finally been answered.

Stay tuned. It’s going to get fun.

The “question” being what town Coal Creek Armory is going to open a second store in…  Looks like they have decided. 

Me?  I am voting for …

boppity-bop

Is it bad to admit that a research project you can buy copies of for $30,000 has better moves than I do?

If that will not bring you out of a funk, I do not know what will.

This is going to take forever

Recall that I made buying a .22 suppressor a goal for this year.

Recall that back in May I said I had close to enough money to get one, so I needed to narrow down my options. Well, I did finally decide that I needed an Outback IID and that …

Dear Mr. Schulman,

If 1:30 in the morning in a crime ridden area is an inappropriate situation for a citizen to carry a concealed weapon, then when is an appropriate situation? You also ruled out dropping kids off at school and going to dinner which are not generally considered dangerous activities, so I’m …

the doctor is out

The BATFE is weaselwording its way around forcing FFLs to sell firearms to known criminals and gun traffickers, our duly-elected representatives do not seem to give a flying squirrel’s left testicle about driving our country’s economy into the ground, the weather here is about bad enough I could cook dinner …

there exists evil in this world

There is no way around it – the bombing and mass shooting in Norway this past Friday were horrific events indeed; however, like all such events, it also offers a unique perspective on a thankfully rare and irregular event… a perspective that is made all the more valuable by that …

Quote of the Day

Jeffersonian, in response to Tac:

If 90% [of police officers] are standing around watching those 10% violate every civil right ever defined and not doing a cursed thing about it, then they’re not fine, are they?

That pretty well sums it up, doesn’t it?

deal alert

Ready Made Resources is currently offering 25% off Mountain House long-term canned food, with free shipping on all case lots (six can increments).

I will confess that the idea of 25-year life-span canned food has always intrigued me for emergency situations, but I have never really had the storage …

monetary singularity

By now, everyone should be aware of the fact that I like using graphics to explain/illustrate complex concepts in relatively simple forms, so it should come as no surprise that I thoroughly approve of this rendition of our nation’s debt.

Make no mistake – this is a debt that …

If you have to borrow more money just to pay interest on the money you’ve borrowed up to this point, doesn’t that mean you’re already PAST the point you can avoid default?…
