Where there is trust, no proof is necessary. Where there is none, no proof is possible!

19 Jan 2020 “Where there is trust, no proof is necessary. Where there is none, no proof is possible!” Anon American General Jack Pershing kept BARs and Lewis Machineguns out of the hands of American troops as troopers began arriving in France in the summer of 1918. Curiously, many American troops had trained extensively on […]

Correction II

17 Jan 20 Additional! “Ordinance” is rule, usually associated with a local political jurisdiction. “Ordnance” is a munition, usually military I often get the two terms and spellings mixed-up. I need to be more careful! In any event, it’s Patriot Ordnance Factory, or “POF,” owned and run by my friend, Frank DeSoma. Frank makes the […]

Correction!

16 Jan 20 With regard to my last Quip, I meant to say POF (Patriot Ordinance Factory) Revolution Rifle. This rifle I highly recommend. The PTR91 Rifle I also recommend, along with the others mentioned, but I get titles confused sometimes, as you can see! /John

Weapons that Run!

16 Jan 20 “Cleanliness and order are not matters of ‘instinct.’ They are matters of education, and like most great things, you must cultivate a taste for them.” Benjamin Disraeli Many mistakenly believe that spring-loaded “dust-covers,” designed to obturate ejection ports on military rifles, were an invention of Gene Stoner, as none appeared on the […]

Obsolete?

14 Jan 20 “How did it get so late so soon? It’s night before it’s afternoon. December is here before it’s June. My goodness, how time has flewn!” Dr Seuss Eugene Stoner was not a fan of the forward-assist on his AR Rifle. He thought it unnecessary. Early production, delivered to the Air Force, did […]

Modern Service Pistols

13 Jan 20 “You may delay, but time will not” Benjamin Franklin Many autoloading pistols of the early 1900s were not compatible with the “high,” two-handed grip that is currently popular with American shooters. “Hammer-bite” is thus to be expected when one shoots most of this generation of pistols via a high grip. As my […]

Snobs!

7 Jan 20 “We’ve been assured by Democrats, and their media lackeys, that it is absolutely impossible to find and deport eleven million illegal aliens, and that any discussion of the subject is absurd. Yet, from these same mouths we’re asked to believe that finding and forcibly confiscating sixteen million ‘assault weapons’ from the hands […]

Fraud!

6 Jan 20 “The meaning of our lives is to justify where our bosses spent their budget.” Lisa Schaefer On Fox News this morning, there was a self-proclaimed “Public Service Announcement,” sponsored by the mysterious “Ad Council” The subject was “Children Endangered by Guns” The message was, of course, that all guns need to be […]

Oh Boy!

3 Jan 20 With dust just-now settling on events of yesterday, security ramp-ups are on-going everywhere, and should be! Predictably, Democrats are doing a “Curly, Moe, and Larry” imitation! With regard to the top-level Iranian we took out yesterday, one would be hard-pressed to overstate his blood-soaked, cumulative negative effect on humanity. He makes Pol […]

Glacial Progress!

2 Jan 20 US Marine Corps “law-enforcement personnel,” who “meet specific federal qualifications” (whatever that means) are now authorized to carry their personally-owned firearms (concealed) on-base, on-watch and off, so said a three-star today! Privately-owned, personal weapons may be carried “for personal protection,” not necessarily in performance of official duties. For the first time, “personal […]
