Dennis Henigan of the Brady Campaign … now bringing race into the 2nd Amendment debate. Seriously?

by One Sensible Progressive July 30, 2010 The Bluff

It just amazes me how the left is blatantly trying to stir up racial hatred for political reasons to confront the conservative backlash against the current administration’s agenda. When Mr. Obama was elected as President I wasn’t happy with his politics, but I truly believed we’d reached a turning point in race relations. But now it’s . . . → Read More: Dennis Henigan of the Brady Campaign … now bringing race into the 2nd Amendment debate. Seriously?

For the Weekend – A Story and a Range Recipe -Licensed to Grill

by Brigid July 30, 2010 Home on the Range

Only a few more weeks of summer and it’s time to fire up the grill. I like to grill, though I’ve had less than success lighting the briquettes. You know how it works. You squirt lighter fluid on them until the fumes alone would drop a Yak, but flick a match on them and they lay there as cold, grey and uncooperative as your ex wife. Unfortunately, the same lawyers that got a hold of most weapons

Building a Williams Gun

by Of Arms and the Law July 30, 2010 Arms & The Law

The story is here. The Williams Gun was a Confederate creation. It was a rapid firing, carriage mounted, rifled gun of 1.5″ bore. Its projectiles were gigantic Minie type ones, cast in lead, and explosive ones were made with a cavity for black powder and a nipple for percussion cap on the nose. (Safety was not a big concern in Civil War artillery). Its main purpose was long-range sniping at artillery limbers and caissons — the explosive rounds would have done a good job of detonating those.

I found a record of one scoring a hit, in the surgical volume of the Official Records of the War of Rebellion. A sketch depicted a projectile that hit an officer’s horse at the Seven Day’s Battle — it was a Minie type, 1.5″ diameter, with a big cavity in the nose. The authors speculated that it might have come from a gigantic sniping rifle of unknown type. My guess is that the gun was being used for sniping at people, and so the crew omitted the explosive charge.

WTF is a “Snooki”

by Nicki July 30, 2010 The Liberty Zone

and why is it in the news? And why does it matter for what politician it votes?  And why is it so revoltingly orange, that orangutans in a zoo are hurling their excrement in a jealous rage?



First, Snooki took on Obama over Twitter. Then, Obama said he didn’t even know who she was. And on Thursday night’s second season premiere of MTV’s “Jersey Shore,” Snooki took the ball back, and went after Obama again.

In one scene, Snooki — with her impressively orange tan — broke the shocking news that she’s been staying away from her home away from home: Tanning salons.

“I don’t go tanning anymore because Obama put a 10% tax on tanning. McCain would never put a 10% tax on tanning. Because he’s pale and would probably want to be tan,” she said.

Congratulations, America.  This is what votes for politicians in this country, and that’s why you’re left with the shoddy choices at election time.

And you wonder why this country is so monumentally fucked?  Because this insipid twat’s vote counts as much as yours!

Cannon Gun Safe Stands Up to Attempted Break-In

Cannon Gun Safe Stands Up to Attempted Break-In
Cannon Gun Safe Stands Up to Attempted Break-In
Cannon Safe – Nothing Protects like a Cannon
Baton Rouge, La. –-(Ammoland.com)- Cannon is proud to pass along this story from a very satisfied Cannon safe owner.
Unfortunately, earlier this month a Cannon safe owner’s residence was burglarized, but their Cannon safe stood up to the ordeal.
The thief attempted to break into the Cannon safe with a 12-gauge shotgun at point blank range using nearly a box of 12-gauge shotgun shells and various other implements, including a paring knife that stuck in the safe. The Cannon safe took quite a beating, even the keypad was blasted off landing some 20 feet away, barely recognizable, but the safe and its contents remained secure.
“This is the first and last gun safe we’ll ever need,” said the safe owner, Diane L. of Baton Rouge, La. “No wonder Cannon stands behind this safe; it’s impenetrable! Great product.”
Cannon Gun Safe Stands Up to Attempted Break-In
The detective who investigated the robbery and the insurance adjuster both stated independently that they had never seen a gun safe blasted with a 12-gauge shotgun and the fact that the safe was still secure spoke volumes about the quality of Cannon’s products. No one was home at the time of the robbery and the case is currently under investigation.
Cannon is proud to be the only company in the industry to offer a lifetime, hassle-free, zero cost warranty that includes free parts, labor, and freight for repair after a natural flood, attempted break-in, actual break-in or potential fire disaster. The company paid for a locksmith to drill the safe open and recover the owner’s contents. Additionally, the old safe was removed from the owner’s home and a new Cannon safe was delivered, all at no charge
Cannon offers trademark security, fire protection and elegance for gun owners, sportsmen and collectors. Undoubtedly the highest quality from top to bottom, all new Cannon safes feature a massive steel composite door, one-inch active-locking bolts, truelock internal hinges and surefire multiple re-lockers.
Rugged uni-body construction from heavy steel provides superior protection. Three layers of extra-hard 60+ RC steel hard-plate guard the lock from drilling and punching. All models have verified fire ratings by Intertek ETL, the world’s leading fire testing authority. This second-to-none fire protection is achieved with multiple layers of thick 5/8” fire board construction plus a triple fin intumescent cold smoke expandable seal and heat-activated door seal that expands many times when exposed to heat.

If you’re in Washington State

by Of Arms and the Law July 30, 2010 Arms & The Law

I wouldn’t know anything of Washington judges, but I rec’d an email from Alan Gottlieb endorsing Richard Sanders. His webpage is here. Alan notes that Sanders voted, prior to Chicago, in favor of the 2A being incorporated. Alan writes:

“Sanders wrote, “Gun ownership is an inexorable birthright of American tradition. Americans who participated in the Revolution of 1776 and adopted the Bill of Rights held the individual right to have and use arms against tyranny to be fundamental.? State v. Sieyes, 225 P.3d 995 (2010)

Our gun rights are fundamental! I couldn’t have said it better myself!

Of course this isn’t the only opinion from Justice Sanders on gun rights. In a closely divided court he fiercely dissented from a terrible majority opinion in Pacific NW Shooting Park v. Sequim 158 Wn.2d 342 (2006) that allowed the sheriff to shut down a gun show in clear violation of state statute.

And in State v. Carter 151 Wn.2d 118 (2004) he demanded in dissent that police have a search warrant before disassembling a weapon. And there are many, many more opinions from this exceptional jurist protecting our gun rights.”
