“Safety”
30 Dec 19 “There is no ‘safety,’ just varying degrees of risk! McArthur “Armed resistance remains the only real answer to stopping evil.” Larry Mudgett “I cannot understand why people (Jews and Christians), who been targets of evil for centuries, still refuse to arm themselves.” Evan Marshall Another church shooting in TX!

Poor Substitutes!
29 Dec 19 “‘Morality,’ founded upon helplessness, has not much to recommend it!” Mahatma Gandhi Last night, a quiet gathering of Jewish holiday (Hanukkah) observers at a home in Monsey, NY (near NYC) was precipitously attacked by a machete-wielding home-invader who, unopposed by armed congregants, freely slashed and stabbed multiple innocents before fleeing. Still covered […]
Evolution in Modern Times!
23 Dec 19 “Yesterday’s ‘Advanced Weapons Platform’ is today’s museum exhibit!” Anon Progressive-burning, high-energy smokeless propellant was invented by a French chemist, Paul Eugène Vieille, in 1884. Vielle’s invention instantly rendered all black-powder firearms obsolete, although it would take at least the next three decades for that axiom to sink-into the minds of the world’s […]
Dog’s Lunch!
19 Dec 19 The “Gerat,” 06 and 06H Rifles (STG45M) were Germany’s last-ditch effort to manufacture cheap autoloading infantry rifles at the very end of the WWII. “Gerat” loosely translates to “equipment.” The term represented a war-time attempt to camouflage the fact that this was a new weapon in development. The Gerat looked like the […]
Listen to What They’re Saying!
17 Dec 19 “What do sure odds that Democrats will absolutely reject any duly-elected Republican president really mean? It means they won’t accept results of any election they don’t win. When you hate each other, but still accept election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to […]
“Day”‘s night today! Wrong’s “right” today!
15 Dec 19 Media headline: “Project to curb gun violence ‘successful’ … despite rise in shootings” So say police officials in Toronto, Canada What? Failure is actually “success?” Among socialists, you can count on it! Mimicking Democrat/socialists down here, with a straight face Canadian socialists re-define the utter failure of their corrupt anti-gun agenda as […]
Unconditional Readiness!
12 Dec 19 The USMC, in response to recent shooting incidents on military bases in FL and HI, just published a Corps-wide “update bulletin” on the subject of personal security. Marines should “ (1) continuously assess local security posture, (2) promote an increase in vigilance and security awareness, and (3) re-enforce emphasis on reporting suspicious […]
Pop-Quiz!
11 Dec 19 Jersey City Shooting: We now know why there has been “dead silence” from the liberal media, as well as from NJ’s liberal governor, with regard to two dead black-clad domestic terrorists who yesterday murdered a local police officer, then invaded a kosher deli and murdered the owner as his wife, as well […]
Deep Waters!
9 Dec 19 “In deep waters, you encounter the wise and brave. In shallow waters, the naive and fearful” Mehmet Murat ildan Speaking of the shallow, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Armed Services Committee, yesterday flippantly said of the Pensacola, FL incident: “At some point, President Trump, and members of Congress, must summon the […]
Fate of the Unarmed!
8 Dec 19 “‘Terrorists are coming! ‘Turn-in your weapons and go immediately to the nearest gun-free zone!’ … said no human with a functioning brain in the history of our planet!” Anon Another sad, yet inevitable, result of “gun-free Zones” In his lame excuse, a continuation of the tiresome DOD “no-guns dance,” the commander of […]

Imagine!
2 Dec 19 Narwhal Tusk! Not surprisingly, the British media is making much today of the famous “Narwhal Tusk” that played a role in Friday’s Islamic terrorist attack on London Bridge. They are making it all into a new “London Bridge Legend!” And yet, imagine for a moment that history were different, and the words […]
London Bridge, Again!
30 Nov 19 “In modern political science, there is no universally-accepted definition of the term, ‘government,’ nor has there ever been one!” Werner London Bridge, Again! On 3 June 2017, Islamic terrorists first ran down hapless pedestrians in a busy part of London (London Bridge). Then, armed with knives, they exited their van, slashing, stabbing, […]

Bullpups!
29 Nov 19 Bullpups: The “bullpup” design for military rifles places the action and magazine behind the trigger. The term was first used to describe embellished target pistols, so I’m not sure how, nor when, it first came to describe this particular design for rifles. The first example of the “bullpup” rifle pattern was the […]
Serialization!
26 Nov 19 Serialization: Serialization of various parts of military rifles and pistols was necessitated in a bygone era of manufacturing, where much hand-fitting was necessary at the end of the production process, and parts were thus not interchangeable between individual guns. Accordingly, consumers understandably wanted a way to keep together all parts assembled at […]
Arms Race!
21 Nov 19 Arms Race, in Europe and the USA: Breech-loading carbines (short rifles) became popular with cavalry units during the American Civil War, because reloading a muzzle-loading rifle (or carbine) while seated on a horse was difficult, to say the least! So, Infantry units stuck for the moment with muzzle-loading rifles, while cavalry units […]

Appendix Carry
17 Nov 19 “Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot teach it.” Hermann Hesse “Appendix” Carry: I’m not sure that appendix carry qualifies as a “trend,” but I’m seeing it a lot more of it than I did a decade ago. With […]
Headspace
15 Nov 19 “Headspace” The term, “headspace,” refers to the distance from the part of the chamber that stops forward motion of the cartridge, to the bolt-face. That part of the chamber is sometimes called the “datum-reference.” When used as a verb, “to headspace” refers to the contact created between this part of the chamber […]
