VSKA
29 Dec 18 Century Arms’ VSKA Rifle: Century Arms has been producing (in the USA) and marketing its “RAS47″ version of the classic Kalashnikov Rifle (AKM in 7.62×39) for several years. “RAS” stands for “Russian Army Standard.” The RAS is a plain-vanilla Kalashnikov AKM. My copy runs just fine (like most Kalashnikovs), and I’ve had […]
Avarnas!
26 Dec 18 The new “Avarnas” The movement, propagated by amoral leftists/Marxists, to marginalize American gun owners continues to aggressively recruit the finance industry.

[…]
Western Women in Peril!

Drugs and guns!
21 Dec 18 Drugs and Guns! Students ask: “When I own guns, do I need to become a teetotaler?” The companion question is: “When I own guns, do I need to abstain from all contact with marijuana?

On the Margins!
19 Dec 18 Marginalized! A liberal MA judge (Feeley) recently handed-down an extremely light sentence to a convicted (felonies, multiple times), illegal alien, because otherwise “… the defendant would be subject to deportation.” The judge then admitted the sentence would have been much harsher, had the defendant been a US citizen! Illegal aliens, in MA […]
“Red-Flag,” revisited!
18 Dec 18 “We are right to take alarm at the first ‘experiment’ upon our liberties.” James Madison As Democrat-dominated state legislatures are seated in early 2019, they will waist little time in promoting “Red-Flag” laws as part of their corrupt, “common-sense,” anti-freedom agenda.

Tragedy and Farce!
15 Dec 18 “Politicians, the rich and famous, their bodyguards, and criminal gangs, still have their guns. Everyone else (forcible disarmed since 2013) lives in fear.

Paris Burning!
6 Dec 18 “Who claim to have my best interests at heart and simultaneously suggest that I disarm and leave my personal safety in their hands, scare me motherless! Not merely hypocritical, but dangerously ignorant and delusional. They are true believers in false gods!” Branson This from a friend in Europe: “Saturday, Paris police were […]
Hate Speech
5 Dec 18 “Silence is the language of God. All else is a poor translation” Rumi Apple’s dimpled darling, Tim Cook, is the recipient of endless press accolades this week for a speech he delivered in NYC, where he insisted that the entire tech community get together to “ban hate speech” from social media. Simultaneously, […]
More Victims!
3 Dec 18 Another “Victim Generator:” The Chief of Police at Oakland University in MI, oh so concerned about student safety, is arranging for the issuance of hockey pucks to students and staff! He assures them that throwing hockey pucks at armed felons will “cause a distraction.” The only “distraction” the average VCA may suffer […]
CNN Never Disappoints!
27 Nov 18 CNN’s “sheltered perspective:” Today, two female CNN reporters were “shocked” to see a photo of our General Scott Miller openly carrying an M4 as he is walking (in uniform, with others also in uniform) on the streets of Afghanistan. Miller’s M4 actually has a magazine inserted, and this really “raised eyebrows” in […]

Placed in Harm’s Way, Unarmed!
24 Nov 18 Our “Unarmed Forces” When a Marine Rifleman, of any rank, painstakingly trained in the Art of Combat Marksmanship, starts believing and spouting anti-gun drivel, it is a yet another sign that this Civilization is in serious decline! Secretary Mattis said last week: “Most active-duty troops along our border do not carry firearms. […]
Hunting
15 Nov 18 Hunting, 2018 Yesterday, at Shawnee Ridge in OH, I used my FS/7.62×51 (POF Revolution Rifle with folding stock, Vortex optic, and assorted other of my specification upgrades) to shoot a wild pig (150lbs) and a female Fallow Deer (100 lbs).

Nogun Shogun!
14 Nov 18 “Decline is a choice.” Victor Davis Hanson Nogun Shogun!
