by Rob62 January 1, 2012 Gun Values Board

by MikeMcDaniel November 27, 2011 Gun Values Board

Politics.  It’s rather a dirty word these days, yet the Founders were wise enough to realize that it is a game that must be played in governing any people.  Knowing human nature as they did, they well understood that men would tend toward the worst angels of their nature and thus corrupt the polity. So [...]

Is Smaller Better?

by gunman1104 November 16, 2011 From the BlogSphere

                                 
 
                                        
As I look through magazines, I see many ads for derringers. From .22 to 45/410, they are available from a number of manufacturers.  My assumption is, if there are a number of people making them, someone is buying them.
The question then must be asked; are people buying these for personal protection? If the [...]

Small Gauges; A New lease on Life?

by gunman1104 October 22, 2011 From the BlogSphere

Different perspectives I guess. Until a few years ago, I did all my shotgunning with a 12 gauge. At that point, I acquired a [...]

Philosophy, Progressivism and Evil

by MikeMcDaniel October 16, 2011 From the BlogSphere

Evil.  Most Americans will acknowledge its existence on at least an abstract level, but beyond that, discord reigns.  It may seem on first glance odd, even paradoxical those that support freedom as embodied by the Constitution also acknowledge the existence of evil—in fact and not as abstraction—but upon closer examination, their acknowledgement is rationality itself.

You hear the term “assault weapon” thrown around regularly. Often it is seen in the formerly main stream press describing something that most of us “know” is not that at all. But, although they do not know it, maybe they are right!
