The leftist “religion!”

28 Apr 23   Security Disaster:   This traitorous airman was able to leak top-secret information to social media for six months, apparently without detection.   This is a scandal of epic proportions!   Incompetents need to be fired without delay, starting with our Secretary of Defense, then our Secretary of the Air Force, then […]

“4 Rs”

21 Apr 23   The “4 Rs”   “Rich liberals go to Rehab. Regular people go to Rikers.”   Suddenly, and with no explanation, Hollywood darling, Alec Baldwin’s, felony charges simply vanish, as if by magic!   I neglected to mention in my last Quip (“The New Rules”) that these rules only apply to “regular […]

NRA Show Update

18 Apr 23   Update/Correction:   In my review of interesting products at this year’s NRA Show in Indianapolis, IN (just concluded), I mentioned a wonderful pistol target system that ingeniously combined a Texas Star with a bobbing/weaving paper target.   Some got back with me, because they couldn’t find it on the Web.   […]

2023 NRA Conference

14 Apr 23   2023  NRA Conference and Show, Indianapolis, IN   Today was the first day of this year’s NRA Show and Annual Meeting.   DJT is here, as is Pence. I understand Pence received a less-than-warm welcome!   Not being involved in NRA politics, I will not hear about major changes (if any) […]

M4

12 Apr 23   “We are kept keen on the grindstone of pain and necessity.”   HG Wells   M4   The M4 is doing anything but dying!   Same can be said for the RA/XCR, CETME, even the Ruger Mini-14   BCM (Bravo) is making a new M4 upper receiver. Forged 7075 material, but […]

“Mostly Peaceful”

9 Apr 23   “I realize how much those in former colonies of the USSR hunger for individual freedom, while simultaneously naive citizens of Western Civilization are carelessly surrendering theirs. When you have been brutally enslaved for sixty years by Communist tyrants, the word ‘Freedom’ has special meaning!”   From a friend in Europe   […]

The First Five Seconds!

6 Apr 23   “The world is crying out for the very thing that it is shutting out!”   Craig Lounsbrough   Vainly Begging for Help   In today’s America, especially in our rapidly-deteriorating metro areas, bystanders to chronic urban havoc are progressively less likely to help anyone in genuine distress.   Military/police veterans, trained […]

Urban Rifle

5 Apr 23   Legitimate Defensive Rifle Skills:   “Some believe they can find satisfaction in good food, fine clothes, lively music, and sexual pleasure. However, when they have all these things, they are still far from satisfied!   They realize happiness is not simply having material needs met. Thus, society has set up a […]

Never Surrender!

4 Apr 23   “You don’t fight with what you have…   You fight with what you have LEFT!” Seyfried   As Russia’s ill-fated Ukrainian Invasion goes on longer than anyone ever expected, and the tenacity, courage, and resourcefulness of Ukrainians continues to both astound and frustrate Putin (and the rest of the world), it […]
