Our Limits

by Jay March 15, 2010 Home on the Range

Sometimes people forget their place in the world. As advocates of the right to own firearms we sometimes think we are above being prey. That is when tragedy strikes but at least we have means to defend ourselves. The opposition only has a phone, a three digit number and minutes to wait until help arrives. [...]

RIP, My Friend

by Nicki March 15, 2010 The Liberty Zone

Got some tragic news tonight. A friend with whom I deployed passed away over the weekend.

Kevin Link was one of the most singularly talented people I’ve ever met! 

He was a musician, a broadcast journalist, one of the best audio-visual producers I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with, a fun, goofy and talented guy, and a good friend. 

And now he’s gone.  The world lost a good person, friend, husband and Soldier.  And the world will be just a bit sadder because of this tragic loss.

My thoughts and condolences to Kevin’s family.  He will be missed.

And Kev – I’m sorry I blew your vein at the top of that mountain in Kosovo, trying to give you an IV. 

Love ya, man!

Daley a Bit Player Nationally

by Jay March 15, 2010 Rifles, Pistols, and Jay

Mayor Daley is one of the more outspoken anti-rights activists in the nation. It’s proper to call him anti-rights because he is opposed to the second amendment to the Constitution and thus is trying to deprive people of their rights. He is no friend to anyone with an interest in self defense nor, as has [...]

Wash. Times on Starbucks debate

by Of Arms and the Law March 15, 2010 Arms & The Law

Editorial here. Interesting note:

“From sea to shining sea, the climate for guns is changing, and the progress extends beyond Starbucks. Major retailers such as Home Depot, Best Buy and Barnes & Noble apparently also are friendly to people who openly pack heat, according to the Wall Street Journal. The Brady Campaign warns businesses that allowing customers to carry guns will scare away other customers. Yet it seems pretty obvious that the businesses themselves – despite all the pressure they face from trial lawyers and bureaucrats to ban guns – are in a much better position to know what their customers want.”

Hat tip to George Mocsary….

An interesting point. We’re seeing, simultaneously, (1) an increase in gun sales to record levels, and increases in new gun owners; (2) Collapsing poll figures for public belief that guns are bad and gun restrictions are good; (3) legislatures predictably pulling away from those ideas, as well, and (4) the judiciary (and not just the Supreme Court, either) endorsing gun-related rights. It’s hard to say which is cause and which is effect, or whether all are being driven by some manner of collective consciousness.
