Well, the Democrats look to be successfully stealing a senate seat. Via Glenn. ...

Looks like the Tennessee Gubernatorial race is getting underway with the two contenders on the Republican side looking to be Zach Wamp and Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam. AC doesn’t see Wamp getting too far because of money. You’ll recall that Knoxville Mayor Bill Haslam is a member of the Joyce Foundation funded, anti-gun group Mayors A...

A look at cartridge naming conventions. I guess because the 30 Ass Kicker, Name Taker isn’t a good marketing gimmick? ...

From Michael Bane, comes The Shooting Wire: Democratic insiders are telling us the firearms industry will be used as an object lesson to both sides of the aisle. To the left, it’s the always-popular smackdown of a group of right-wing loonies (that’s you and me, by the way) who want gunfights on the streets of our hometowns. To the right...

Remember when Republicans were the party of smaller, more limited government? Me neither. ...

The WaPo: The Maryland State Police surveillance of advocacy groups was far more extensive than previously acknowledged, with records showing that troopers monitored — and labeled as terrorists — activists devoted to such wide-ranging causes as promoting human rights and establishing bike lanes. Also, reminds me of this. ...

Governor Rod Blagojevich has selected Roland Burris to fill Obama’s senate seat. I guess he got the winning bid. An interesting bit on Mr. Burris: A longtime advocate of a national handgun ban, Burris organized Chicago’s first Gun Turn-in Day in 1993. But when he ran for governor the following year, he admitted that he owned a handgun ...

Revenue from hunting licenses declines in Tennessee. Yet gun ownership is up in the state. ...

It’s kinda funny how alleged journalists deal with the gun issue. They’re like seagulls. They come in, make a lot of noise, shit all over everything, and leave once it looks frightening. Latest seagull journalist: Facts don’t matter so please don’t present them if they don’t fit my worldview. Not an actual quote but...

Five knife deaths per week. ...

Congrats to Squeaky. ...

Well, not this kind anyway. Obama’s pick for Secretary of Education has a failing graduation rate in the city of Chicago. He’s also a bit of an anti-gun activist. That’s change you can believe in. ...

Quite a year for the second amendment. ...

Learn the difference between “it’s” (it is) and “its” (possessive, belonging to it). (See penalties here and here, just within the last few days.) That is all. Seriously, thanks for letting me blog here from time to time, and I hope everyone here has a great new year! ...

So I’m in the process of a (protracted) kitchen remodel. The big thing is that I’ve turned an old external-storage-room-cum-pantry into a utility room, and moved the washer and dryer from the kitchen into that room. This leaves a large open space in the kitchen where the washer and dryer used to be. My intention is to put additional ...

Death to who? ...

Don’t make fun of the Pope. Or presume you know chili. Thought you’d want to know. Update: Also to avoid: How to make martinis. Tequila sucks. And BBQ. ...

After I got my suppressor, I decided I needed to set up the 10/22 so I could use the suppressor on it as well. So, I took it to Coal Creek Armory and had Gunsmith Bob cut the Ruger factory barrel to 16.25 inches and thread it. How did it turn out? Like so: From Gun Porn And without the suppressor: From Gun Porn Bob and the folks at C...

Or Is Lenny Bruce not afraid? Have you noticed it’s kinda end of the worldy out there lately? Let’s sum up: Supervolcanos might kill us all. We have pirates.

One year in 40 seconds. Neat. ...

The Other Biased Washington Paper: Republican Party officials say they will try next month to pass a resolution accusing President Bush and congressional Republican leaders of embracing “socialism,” underscoring deep dissension within the party at the end of Mr. Bush’s administration. Good job. And with only about 20 days left ...

First, bacon is not a vegetable. I’m pretty sure about that. Secondly, if it has beans in it, then it is chili with beans. Chili has no beans. I am definitely sure about that. ...

How violence in the Middle East is usually covered in the back section of the newspapers or on the sidebars of major media websites until Israel starts shooting back? ...

A few people (at least four, including my wife) say that sometimes the site doesn’t load properly.

And: your site does not work. first their is no place on th...

The Washington Post been one of the perpetuators of the myth that you bitter-clingers have nothing to worry about because Obama really does like the second amendment and has now for like at least 8 months. Nevermind all that stuff he did before, he didn’t mean any of it. So, calm down you dumb, cousin-humping rednecks. Now, they’re s...
