I have to confess that I’ve never had much use nor a desire to get into surplus rifles. But Tam does and she tells us why. They are indeed historical and neat but I’m just an Evil Black Rifle guy at heart.

Yes, it’s true. Those evil fast food corporations may be protected even though they make a dangerous product: The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill Wednesday that would block lawsuits by people who blame fast-food chains for their obesity. The “cheeseburger bill,” as it has been dubbed in Congress, stems from class-action litigation that […]

There’s been some blathering in blogworld about these survival kits. You know, the stuff you should have for when the SHTF* or when the lights just go out for a little bit. These discussions point out things like food, water, flashlights, a weapon or two, purifiers, and backup generators. These are all fine and good […]

Behold, the Raging Rinos, created by The Commissar for secular and moderate conservatives who don’t drink the party Kool-Aid on issues such as whether it’s legal for dudes to diddle dudes and all that God business. Republican, without all the crazy. J.D. has kicked around many logos for the group, following some issues with the […]

The Eye is a stylish and very creepy, atmospheric horror film from Thailand that you cannot possibly predict the ending of from its start, though all the clues are given to you.

Delaware might get a handgun-only deer season: Under a bill passed last week, Delaware hunters will have a one-week deer hunting season in which only large-caliber handguns can be used. Hunting with handguns had not been allowed at any time previously. Hunters will be allowed to use pistols ranging from .357 caliber to .50 caliber […]

No, not the AARP, the other one. You know, it gets bad press for being an evil, right-wing organization that kills children? Triggerfinger points out that the NRA is letting people in Montana down. It seems some mid-level NRA person is withholding support for a bill that clarifies a right to self-defense. Codrea has more. […]

Fûz talks about his votes for the NRA Board of Directors. Gun nuts show their nuttiness: Surely, the gun lovers out there have lost sight of the target when they start defending a person’s right to carry rockets and grenades into a school and when they oppose attempts to keep high-powered weapons out of terrorists’ […]

My first attempt at the subject read “Life of a co-booger,” which may have been more appropriate. Just noticed that our host, Mr. Uncle, posted about not “feeling it” and hence wasn’t being very verbose here lately. He proceeded to wag his finger at us co-boogers for not filling up some space. As some of […]

Say Uncle does a fantastic job keeping us apprised of the anti-gun nonsense out there. One thing I’ve noticed is that the gun-grabbers keep re-using the same old tired bromides, so I propose a little game to go along with the articles: Gun Control Poker. Spades (The Bad Guys) A – Terrorists are Enemy Number […]

A reminder Kelo v. New London is heading to to the Supreme Court. Here’s a quick summary. In (not so) Freeport, Tx, Eminent Domain is being used for the confiscation of private land to build a private yacht marina. A reader emails Scandal In Freeportwhich is keeping up with the Freeport case. An editorial reminds […]

I think today marks the first time I have seen more articles against the assault weapons ban than for it. A few examples: Good little read on the politics involved and some truth about the ban: Slipping in the polls, Senator John Kerry deceitfully accuses President George Bush of not pushing for an extension of […]

Per this: California authorities worry more powerful firearms will eventually make their way into the state — despite the state’s outlaw on a large number of assault weapons. The state’s ban remains active after a federal ban on 19 types of assault weapons expired this week. But with a thriving underworld gun trade and with […]

There’s a lot of good AWB stuff today. Bill O’Reilly gets the assault weapons ban wrong, according to Vox Day: Mr. O’Reilly once attacked the president of the Gun Owners of America as a nutcase on the fringe due to the GOA’s opposition to the assault weapons ban. This demonstrated three things: 1 “The Factor” […]

I am remiss in mentioning that the epic battle of good vs. evil that was being played out over at Classless Warfare is no more. Jay has moved here and Jane has moved here.

A Tennessee man has filed suit claiming the $1M tax on hope payout wasn’t random: Dennis Perry, a 57-year-old disabled veteran from Fayetteville, won $10,000 on June 26 during a drawing for the largest prize awarded since the Tennessee Lottery began in January. He was one of three finalists for the $1 million grand prize. […]

Tomorrow we’re having our party primary elections, and some non-partisan judicial elections. I’ve had the local Evil Talk Radio station on in the background, and I’ve noticed a lot of ads for Republican candidates. I wasn’t listening too closely to one of them, until I heard it disparage one candidate for being affiliated with the […]

A few weeks back, I went to the weekly flea market at the fairgrounds. I love books, so I pawed through every book collection there. We’re running out of shelf space, so I bought a few choice ones. This particular trip, I picked up Isaac Asimov’s New Intelligent Man’s Guide to SCIENCE: Vol II, The […]

Pardon me while I don my accounting geek hat: There is a movement to mandate that companies expense all stock options when they are offered to the employee (though not necessarily redeemed). That is, record an expense on the income statement for the value of the options (which may not have been redeemed). Current treatment […]

Actually, we get a few. But this one I thought was worth posting: As I opened my front door to take my five year old daughter to school, a random Pit Bull (I don’t owe them the respect of using their proper name) charged through our door, approached my daughter, and as I immediatley picked […]

But I don’t know where. I wanted to be real clear regarding my position on the Second Amendment. It is not about duck hunting. There is matter of factly an individual right to arms. Anyone who chooses to believe otherwise is either: 1) intellectually dishonest and has developed a conclusion first, then worked back from […]

Bill Hobbs compares the current big government GOP and the Democrats. His conclusion (paraphrased, of course) is support the lesser of two evils. Additionally, he states in comments: Well, you can vote Libertarian, and have no influence, while the Dems win and expand government exponentially while losing the war on terror, or while the GOP […]

The anti-war crowd is all over the story about Bush incorrectly stating that Iraq sought uranium. The anti-war crowd also holds falsely to a belief that the war was entirely about weapons of mass destruction (or oil, depending on the day of the week). The war was actually the result of several things: Weapons of […]
