I read an interesting blog post discussing a proposed New Jersey law that would require each gun sold to contain a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip with the owners personal information.  Tagging guns with RFID chips is a rather bad idea, as discussed below: Background information on RFID Tags As Wikipedia states, a Radio Frequency Identi...

Bitter and I attended the McCain/Palin rally in Media, Pennsylvania today.  Media is the County Seat of Delaware County, located about 12 miles west of Philadelphia.  I live in Bucks County, but Delaware County is where I grew up.  Delaware County used to be a place of Republican machine politics.  Where the City of Philadelphia had machine Dem...

Obama and Ayers Pushed Radicalism On Schools Could be … read it all at the link. Here’s a key quote: "The Obama campaign has cried foul when Bill Ayers comes up, claiming "guilt by association." Yet the issue here isn’t guilt by association; it’s guilt by participation. As CAC chairman, Mr. Obama was lendin...

Buckeye Firearms Association is proud to make its first-ever endorsement in a Presidential race, and announces the endorsement of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin for Vice President of the United States. Sarah Palin is more familiar with the Second Amendment issues important to average American gun owners than any Vice Presidential (or Presidential) ca...

I can sum up factcheck.org’s “check” of the NRA material in 5 words: “Obama says that’s not true!” Your purpose, as proclaimed in your very title, is to check the facts, and that should include matching candidate’s rhetoric to their record. While you might claim that some of the things listed are past tens...

By Chad D. Baus While the Ohio media fawns over a recent visit from Ray Schoenke, President of the fake gun group known as American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA), the Australian Broadcasting Corporation has done the job of providing a much better look at how the gun issue is hurting the campaign of Barack Obama in the Buckeye state. Even...

Here Good to see more stuff promoting NFA items. They mentioned some media coverage, it will be interesting to see what the spin on that is.  Not so sure about that hemet mount, though… looks a little hard to maintain muzzle control.       ...

The inventor of the Palm Pistol has added, not only the ATF approval letter, but Steve Halbrook's letter to ATF, which goes into much more legal detail. (It's all one pdf file, Steve's letter follows that of the ATF). The key argument appears to be that a "pistol" has a "grip" (whereas 19th century palm pistols did not) that is at an angle to the...

One thing my work occasionally entails is testifying. As an expert witness or on a case I worked. I enjoy it from an intellectual standpoint. Sometimes a lot. But even if the good guys "win" so to speak, after getting the third degree from the other side, trying to make me lose my composure, I always leave feeling a bit beat up. And in serious ...

TGirsch (along with Sean Braisted) over at Say Uncle's place are pushing the meme that Obama is NOT, I repeat NOT a gun banner even though he personally signed a letter stating that, Yes Virginia, I would ban the manufacture, sale, and possession of handguns. TGirsch is going off of FactCheck.org, which is willfully ignoring everything that Barack...

Bayou Renaissance Man has pictures of a scary-looking (and fatal) incident caused by a light helicopter unexpectedly dropping into suburbia.I know that the recip-powered Robinsons are some of the most common whirlybirds out there, and I know that low-time rotary-wing pilots are most likely to be found at the controls of an R-22 or R-44, and I have ...

There is just something about Alaska. For many people it's on the list of places they want to visit before they die. For others it's a journey ending with roots taking hold deep into the tundra. I was one of the former. Not wanting to wait until I got older, retired, had an empty nest or lost those 10 pounds, I just went. Why miss out because of "...

Seems it’s not just the anti-gun folks who are guilty of it. As a side note, per a user comment (Egregious Charles, maybe?), I tried to categorize this post under “Flaming Bag of Poo,” but I don’t have permission to add new categories. ...

Sitting in the dark for a week with no electrical power gave me a lot of time to think about survival. What developed in my mind was a “hierarchy” of conditions required to stay alive, maintain some quality of life, and recover when the crisis has passed. The order is descending, starting with those things which will cause potentially fatal pro...

In response to the NRA’s offense, Obama shill Sean breaks out the straws (ans strawmen) to grasp: National Republican Association Per an NRA lobbyist I once had dinner with, NRA endorses more Democrats in Tennessee than Republicans. Continuing: In the ad, they claim that “he also supports a ban on the shotguns and rifles most of us use ...

Baldilocks has a quick take on the Obama campaign:Democrat: You’re racists!Republican: No, we’re not!Democrat: Then why’d you bring up the topic of race?Republican: We didn’t bring up the topic, you did!Democrat: That’s because we knew you were thinking about it.

Just as in Florida, hurricanes boost gun sales, as people realize they may just be on their own for a time. Hat tip to reader Rich, who notes the reporter does need to learn a little about the subject. "First-time gun owners, Robertson said, should bypass automatic weapons and purchase a single shot revolver instead." Yep, you probably shouldn't...

As a youngster with an interest in history, I listened enthralled as a traveling evangelist regaled us with the tale of a Roman Legion that had converted to Christianity and was punished for its crime via the brutal process of decimation. Ordered to recant by a bloodthirsty emperor, the legion refused and every tenth member was put to death. The or...
