I was listening to WLS this evening and Roe Conn had Michael Steele, former RNC chair on the Celebrity Hotline.  Mr. Steele said something that I think showed the hand of the Beltway Insiders.  While talking about universal background checks and that people seem to be in favor of them (no one I know, but… Continue reading

Had a day yesterday like no-one else’s in the world.  Attended the local gun show/fun show, got some furry slippers, new gloves, and two new knives–one a handmade blade from a local vender and one Benchmade folder.  Got to help a couple of friends at their respective booths for a while and then off to… Continue reading

A brilliant satire of gun grabbers’ “logic” by the Locavore Hunter.  Via Chas at Southern Rockies Nature Blog.  Perfectly shows how silly the present memes regarding gun control are….. Continue reading

Dick’s Sporting Goods is certainly exemplifying the first part of their business’ name by suspending the sale of modern rifles at its stores nationwide.  Mr B and I haven’t been back since one of their local managers decided to independently put a limit on an ammunition sale a few years ago (at least that’s what… Continue reading
