“The Real Agenda”
6 Mar 19 “Gun control” never “works,” at least for the naively professed “intended purpose” of reducing violent crime. What these laws that restrict citizens from access to guns will do, and have done every time they’ve been passed, is to vastly reduce risk-exposure endured by violent criminals, while generating a whole new community of […]

No Doubt!
4 Mar 19 Democrats and (your) Guns!

Manufactured Drama!
26 Feb 19 Persistent Gun Myths: “… an eternal ‘song-‘ waves within which reason has drowned.” Friedrich Nietzsche With the aid of left-leaning Hollywood dramatists, who have scant regard for the truth, an entire generation of Americans and Western Europeans have grown-up, believing preposterous myths they’ve seen depicted on the screen more times than anyone […]
King George III

Der Kommissar!
21 Feb 19 “Did you really think we wanted those laws observed?” said Dr. Ferris. “We want them to be broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against. We’re after power, and we mean it! There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any […]
Say Goodby to Your guns!

Leon Trotsky
12 Feb 19 “Hard times create strong men Strong men create good times Good times create weak men Weak men create hard times” TJ Weber From a friend in the UK: “It is as if we have suddenly developed a societal death-wish over here!

“Pure Equality!”
7 Feb 19 “Socialism confuses the distinction between government, and private, enterprise. As a result, every time we object to a thing being done by government, socialists insist that we object to its being done at all! We disapprove of state education. Socialists claim that we’re opposed to all education. We object to a state […]
“Smart” OC?
4 Feb 19 “Smart” OC Spray! We saw an interesting product in January at the SHOT show upon which I’ve thus-far failed to comment: Sabre, along with Fox Labs and several others, is a respected manufacturer of OC dispensers, designed for personal defense.

KCPOs
2 Feb 19 The Autochthonic Personal Paranoia of Leftist Politicians: UK’s Home Secretary’s latest plan to tackle the nation’s precipitous, amazing “Knife Crime Emergency” involves the issuance of “Knife Crime Prevention Orders” (KCPO) to persons over the age of twelve, who are believed by police to routinely carry a blade.

Satan Never Sleeps!
30 Jan 19 Democrats move relentlessly left! The term, “socialist,” once akin to “Communist,” and thus associated with evil and national decay, has suddenly become “acceptable.” Many, probably most, professing Democrats now claim to be simultaneously “socialists,” and suffer scant loss of political support as a result. In fact, among the unproductive (by choice), the […]
Democrats’ “Gun-Free Paradise”
29 Jan 19 Socialist Paradise?
