Mark That Well!
16 Jan 19 Residents of many foreign countries know and respect our US Constitution far more than do some American citizens, particularly liberals! In Brazil, liberal administrations, morbidly fearful of armed citizens (as all liberal politicians are), attempted to impose a complete ban on the private ownership of guns with the “Disarmament Statute,” of 2005. […]
Snobs!
12 Sept 19 “Who hold ‘important’ positions in society are commonly labeled ‘somebodies,’ and their inverse, ‘nobodies, -both of which are, of course, nonsensical descriptors, for we are all, by necessity, individuals with distinct identities and comparable claims on existence. Such words are nevertheless an apt vehicle for conveying disparate treatment accorded to different groups. […]
Getting Nervous?
11 Sept 19 When you haven’t already, it’s time to acquire a serious rifle, a supply of ammunition, and serious (normal-capacity) magazines, while you still can! Individual states, with Democrat governors, are proposing bans on normal-capacity magazines and virtually all modern, serious, semi-auto military rifles. Some already have these restrictions in place. More are on […]
Corrupt Politicians and Armed Citizens!
8 Sept 19 “The more corrupt politicians are, the more afraid of armed citizens they become” Keiichi Sigsawa CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked Sleepy Joe a week ago, Monday: “So to gun-owners out there who say ‘Well, a Biden administration means they’re going to come for my guns’…” Joe answers: “Bingo! You’re right, if you have […]

A Little Cartridge History!
5 Sept 19 At the end of the American Civil War, it was painfully obvious to most that muzzle-loading rifles and muskets were obsolete. The search for a breech-loading military rifle started with the idea of somehow “converting” the existing stock of 58-caliber muzzle-loading rifles, with which the Federal inventory was awash! Erskine Allin at […]
Our Rights are not Safe!
4 Sept 19 “It’s so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been, had it never shone.” John Steinbeck In Iowa, Sleepy Joe just stated that he wants to “ban magazines that hold multiple bullets.” Since, in all of world history, no magazine has ever been manufactured that holds only one […]
Colt/Walker
1 Sept 19 Colt/Walker Revolver: Last week, at a commercial gun store in Cody, WY, called “The Cody Firearms Experience,” I had the opportunity to shoot a Colt/Walker Revolver (reproduction) for the first time in my life! The Cody Firearms Experience has a number of like historical guns, many black-powder, that customers can handle and […]
Blessed Redundancy!
28 Aug 19 Addressing the issue of serious guns, carried and used: From a friend and Instructor/Operator: “With regard to your last Quip, this is the System I use in an effort to minimize the issue: I have three carry pistols, all the same (S&W 9mm M&Ps), and all three set-up identically. Number One is […]
Worn-out!
27 Aug 19 Worn parts and UDs! Students and trainers around the world will now and then report a slam-fire-engendered UD when chambering a round on pistols, even pistols from reputable manufacturers, manufacturers that I recommend! Some of this is “urban legend,” of course, but not all. Fire-control parts can become so worn-out, from lots […]
NRA
24 Aug 19 “ Our military doesn’t teach rifle marksmanship. It teaches ‘equipment familiarity.’ Despite what the officer corps thinks, learning to shoot a rifle is not like learning to drive a car. Instead, it is like learning to play the violin.” Daryl Davis Ambrose Burnside was the first president of the National Rifle Association […]
HARPA!
22 Aug 19 “When the ‘Personnel Department’ became ‘Human Resources,’ I, who had heretofore been a living, breathing ‘person,’ suddenly became just a ‘resource,’ like furniture and iron ore. In Western Civilization, we have a proclivity for looking back and then ‘bunching-up’ years into ‘ages,’ such as the ‘Stone Age,’ ‘Bronze Age,’ ‘Dark Age,’ ‘Age […]
A Mournful Discovery
19 Aug 19 “Lists” “A mournful discovery: Who agree with you are ‘insane’ Who do not agree with you are in power.” PK Dick Over 700k Russians were rounded-up by Stalin’s dreaded NKVD and summarily shot during his infamous “purges” of 1937/38. Countless others rotted and died in gulags. Many were executed by “troikas” (secret […]
FS/7.62
17 Feb 19 FS/7.62 The “Farnam Signature 7.62 Rifle,” built on the POF Revolution and the Robinson Armament XCR/M, next on the DSA SA58 (FAL) and the PTR91, like the famous FSM4, is my idea of a consummate individual fighting rifle. My long-time perfectionist friend and colleague, Freddie Blish at Robar, makes all of these, […]
Comments on Gun Safety
16 Aug 19 Comments on gun safety, from an educator: “Democrats piously claim to all be devoted to ‘keeping kids safe.’ Yet, they vehemently oppose any species of gun-safety curriculum ever seeing the light of day in schools! Simultaneously, they just can’t wait to teach kindergartners about “safe” sex, fire safety, “safe” eating habits, internet […]
“Safe” Guns
15 Aug 19 Gun Accidents: “If you haven’t figured it out yet, an absolutely certain way to lose something as quickly as possible is to forget the privilege you have to possess it in the first place.” Craig Lounsbrough With legal, private ownership of guns among the general population in the USA at an all-time […]
Snipers!
13 Aug 19 A brief History of Military “Sniping:” “Bolt-actions speak louder than words!” Craig Roberts Rifleman, taking up concealed positions and firing their rifles, not at ranks of enemy soldiers, but at individual enemy officers and NCOs, have always been regarded with suspicion and disdain by war planners of all nations. In the black-powder […]
Enough is NEVER “Enough!”
10 Aug 19 Enough? Democrat presidential aspirants, Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, and several others are insisting that Wal Mart stop selling guns. Not just “some” guns, All guns! Walmart sells basic centerfire and rimfire rifles and shotguns at rural and suburban outlets where demand is high. Such guns are popular with hunters and other sportsmen. […]
“Meaningful?”
9 Aug 19 “Meaningful” Background Checks? This morning DJT, responding to last weekend’s shooting incidences in El Paso, TX, and Dayton, OH, called for “meaningful background checks” to be imposed at a federal level upon any American citizen who wants to make a retail purchase of a firearm. As I listened, it struck me: “Wait! […]
