Are we in a Recession? Depression? Vote wrong and we ...
Sensibly Progressive on September 21st, 2008
We may officially be in a recession, depending on who’s defining recession. But there is one sure way to plunge deeper into recession or depression: elect Senator Obama President and give even more seats to his extremely liberal democrat cronies.The most commonly stated identifier of a recession is two consecutive quarters in which the GDP shrink... -

The Liberty Zone on September 21st, 2008

Will racism hurt Obama’s chance of election?
John Lott on September 21st, 2008
There are numerous people saying that there are many people who would vote for Obama if it wasn't for his race. Andrew Breitbart sent me this poll that pushes this view. The result: Obama would receive an estimated 6 percentage points more support if there were no racial prejudice.If this claim is true, what does this say about who is racist? Pr... -
Value of Directly-Elected Judges Proven Once Again in...
Buckeye Firearms Assoc. on September 21st, 2008
By Ken Hanson, Esq. Nationwide there has been a great debate over “merit selection” of judges versus direct election of judges, driven largely by the role that campaign money plays in judicial elections, and the taint casted upon judicial impartiality as a result. Ohio is not immune to this discussion, and Chief Justice Moyer has been a natio... -

Not AGAIN!
Arms & The Law on September 21st, 2008
Understand, this is a Virginia (African-American) who has a CCW permit but likes to open carry. In the past he's picked up his girlfriend, who works at a bank, and the Norfolk police have given him lots of trouble, as in publicly frisking him, handcuffing him, putting him in a squadcar, etc. Not once, but a number of times. As a result of which he ... -

Militaria
Armed Canadian on September 21st, 2008
One of the downsides of being a student of military history is it is easy to begin branching out. As you do, you begin to acquire items of interest in an ever-widening pattern.Guns are not my first love. Oh, I enjoy collecting firearms and connecting with the history they represent but my first love was aviation. General military history came la... -
Shooting the Gun Blog Rifle Match
Snowflakes in Hell on September 21st, 2008
Well, I spent most of the day at the range today working through the Summer Rifle Match. Just to give you some background on my high-power experience, next Sunday I will shoot my club’s Garand match. This will be the first formal high-power match I will ever have shot. So far the only shooting sports I even have a classification for are... -

Proposed Rule Change
Snowflakes in Hell on September 21st, 2008
I’m proposing a minor rule revision to the rifle matches based on some of my experiences shooting the match today. It was a busy day at the range, which taught me a few things about shooting a match with other people who are not. I was seriously worried a few times I wasn’t going to finish before sunset. Go see what you think. ... -
For those interested in reading the bailout bill
John Lott on September 21st, 2008
You can read the proposed bailout bill here. Two quotes that caught my attention. “Decisions by the Secretary pursuant to the authority of this Act are non-reviewable and committed to agency discretion, and may not be reviewed by any court of law or any administrative agency.” “The Secretary’s authority to purchase mortgage-related assets... -

How Much is $700 Billion?
Traction Control on September 21st, 2008
A lot, in fact. $700 Billion is a 7 with eleven zeroes. In terms of housing, if the entire population of the US is 300 million; and the average family size is 2.61 people, $700 Billion is $6,090 per Household . If we are talking about modestly priced housing, say $85K, $700 Billion equates to 8,235,294 homes . 8.2 million homes is 7% of all dwelli... -
How an M16 works
Firearms and Freedom on September 21st, 2008
The video is about 20 minutes, and goes over the details of semi and full auto fire. The semi-auto operation is the same as an AR-15, so if your wondering how one works, here’s your answer. Incidentally, it looks like the army needs to work on gun safety, especially in regards to KEEPING THE FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER. Oh well. Legal boilerplate... -
Joe Biden Tries To Pass Himself Off as Pro Gun
Learn About Guns on September 21st, 2008
I’ve previously discussed how Joe Biden, the running mate of Barack Obama, is one of the most anti gun rights politicians in America. Biden has called gun owners mentally unstable simply because they wish to own a gun (see this video clip), and has pushed for a variety of draconian gun bans. Joe Biden is [...]... -

“Oh, I hate the idea,” Carol says. She has a 7-year-old who’s been asking questions. “He asked me, ‘If I do something wrong, are they going to pull guns out on me?’ What do you tell a child like that?” You tell him "No, of course not." And then you take him to the range, teach him about guns and how to shoot them, explain how you and ... -

Nothing new but a look at Obama’s anti-gun record. Meanwhile, Biden (with an F from NRA) says: ‘I guarantee you, Barack Obama ain’t taking my shotguns, so don’t buy that malarkey,’ Biden said angrily. ‘They’re going to start peddling that to you.’ ‘I got two, if he tries to fool with my Beretta,... -

The War on Guns on September 21st, 2008
The common declaration that no one "needs" a handgun infuriates me even more. I can't deny it – it's true. No one needs a handgun, short of the obvious exceptions of police officers, military personnel, and a few select other professionals. I'll grant that right now.You were doing pretty well there until you got to that part, Matt Gurney.Do a bit... -
Obama Lies About Guns
Snowflakes in Hell on September 21st, 2008
Kurt got a response from Barack Obama’s Senate Office about guns: On the other hand, I support the re-imposition of the ban on the sale of assault weapons that expired in September 2004 because I believe these guns are used primarily for criminal rather than sporting intent. Again, Obama does not understanding what the Second Amendment is abo... -

YouTube is to ban footage showing weapons being used to intimidate people on its website in the UK. I'll bet that's not true.I'll bet you'll still see footage of state enforcers using weapons to keep civilians in line with their rulers' wishes. See, it's the difference between "assault videos" and "patrol videos."YouTube said it was necessary to re... -
Quote of the Day
Snowflakes in Hell on September 21st, 2008
Biden says that Obama better never come after his shotgun: One of rural Democrats’ biggest fears about Obama? That he’ll come after the Second Amendment. Not so, said Biden — and he’d better not try. “I guarantee you, Barack Obama ain’t taking my shotguns, so don’t buy that malarkey,” Biden said angrily. “They’re going to start ... -
