It’s Started!
28 Feb 26 Oh Boy! Centuries of world history has repeatedly demonstrated, “A little respect goes a long way!” As always, DJT was not bluffing. Once again, he has been foolishly underestimated by our craven enemies, both foreign and domestic. As expected, destruction of Iran’s military capabilities during initial strikes, and of specific individuals within […]
Irony!
24 Feb 26 From insisting that men can get pregnant to the following, modern Democrats are determined to continually insult our intelligence! VA’s Democrat governor and Democrat-dominated state legislature just banned gun-possession for anyone under the age of twenty-one, unless “supervised by an adult.” Virginia defines “adult” as anyone over the age of eighteen. So, […]
Mexico!
23 Feb 26 Trapped! Many American, Canadian, European, and Australian tourists are currently trapped in Mexico, unable to fly nor drive out, as ecumenical violence engulfs the entire country in the wake Mexican military forces (doubtless with US assistance) killing drug kingpin, Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes (AKA: “El Mencho”) of the “Jalisco” Cartel, which is […]
Three?
21 Feb 24 “I am merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary!” Billy Joel “The Threes” The “Armed Attorneys” recently pointed-out that the long-proclaimed axiom that the “average” lethal-force encounter takes place within three feet, involves three shots fired, and is over within three seconds, may not apply as broadly […]
Headspacing
18 Feb 26 History of Headspacing “‘Faith’ that does not survive collision with truth is not worth regretting” Arthur C Clark “Semi-rimmed” cartridges (25ACP, 32 ACP, 38ACP, 9×20 or “9mm Browning,” 6.5×50 Arisaka, 444 Marlin) enjoyed only a brief period of popularity during the first half of the 1900s. They combined the (mostly) positive head-spacing […]
New Book!
14 Feb 26 Frank Sharp’s new book! My long-time friend and esteemed colleague, Frank Sharp, has just published: “AR-15, A Citizen’s Guide to America’s Rifle” It is a comprehensive, thorough, and wonderful reference, and it enjoys my complete recommendation. Every AR-15 owner should get a copy!

Important Task Distinctions
11 Feb 26 Big-Game Hunting, as compared with Military Sniping In yesterday’s Quip, I apparently succeeded in confusing the above issue. When we’re hunting big-game animals (deer and up), our goal is (1) a lethal hit which (2) deanimates the animal within seconds. The animal (3) becomes comatose and dies quickly with (4) minimum suffering, […]
Weary Argument
10 Feb 26 The weary argument, advantages of 308/30-06 for most domestic big-game hunting: 1) Smooth feeding and non-stick extraction. The tapered 308/30-06 cartridge was designed for smooth operation in military bolt-action (later auto-loading) rifles. By contrast, feeding, and particularly extraction, with “modern” (generally fatter and straight-walled) hunting cartridges is much rougher. This is not […]
Marxist “Revolution?”
3 Feb 26 “We have no compassion, and we ask none. When our turn comes, we shall make no excuses for the terror” Karl Marx Yesterday, Buffalo, NY’s Democrat mayor said that he doesn’t want “people” (ie: criminal illegal aliens) to be “fearful” when spending time in his city, a city where certain groups of […]
