When discussing gun ownership rights and laws, I’ve heard some people argue in favor of magazine capacity restrictions, features of ordinary firearms, and limits on the number of guns one can own, (incorrectly) asserting that such restrictions won’t harm law abiding citizens.  I’ve previously discussed, from a technical standpoin...

By Howard Nemerov The death of a child is horrible and painful, and any decent person would do whatever it takes to save that life.

And it looks like Obama just hit a pop fly. Let’s just hope John McCain doesn’t drop it. Lots of the same old  stuff, standard Democrat tripe, the government can take care of all your problems, no tax breaks for big business… etc. Not a terrible speech, but not what he needed. ...

Our trap league being over for the year, a group of us decided to shoot a round of double trap. I shot a 34, which I can’t complain about for a first time. Definitely fun, and something I will have to do more of. Also, we had 8 people from our church out shooting, as well as a relative of our pastor. ...

Todd Jarrett has made me a better Silhouette shooter.  Tonight was our thursday airgun match.  I started out on chickens, doing about what I normally do, got into pigs, and then noticed I was moving the gun when I pulled the trigger.  I then remembered Todd saying “You have to increase your grip strength by 20%, at least.” so I tight...

So I've got a bit of a Troofer infestation in my comments section. This one claims (obtusely) to be a Navy SEAL, but isn't going out of his way to dispel the rumor that a seal is a small aquatic mammal that balances balls on its nose.Do you know why I have no effing respect for a Troofer like this one? Let me tell you why:If you really and truly be...

Ever since the Harrold ISD made the decision to be proactive in protecting their kids and allow staff and administrators who had a valid CHL to carry a firearm at school, the anti's have been having spasms of hysteria and there has been much weeping and gnashing of teeth.I have not commented on the rhetoric of the anti's because I just did not feel...

Both Another Gun Blog and No Looking Backwards have covered California’s “Hasta La Vista Tax” which taxes people over a certain income for leaving the state.  Rich flight has created a serious revenue problem for California.

It sounds like the people of New Orleans took a lesson from history, and are stocking up on AR-15s and .223 ammo. I will be interested to see what Mayor No-gun does if another emergency arises. Laws are on the book to prevent the confiscations that happened last time, but will they choose to ignore those laws? I really hope for everyone’s sak...

If it had actually become law on the day it was introduced, Mr. Braico would have been able to accumulate 33 handguns between then and now. I fail to see how that’s an unreasonable restriction on his civil rights. And I do wonder what he mi...
