    D.A. Arthur Branch is gonna do it (probably)

    First sentence in this USA Today article: Or we can all continue to sing praises for Ron Paul. "McClane. This what you expected?"

    This week is bad.

    The Columbine shootings, the Oklahoma city bombing, Hitler's birthday, and now the VT massacre. Copycats? Perhaps. What will we be grieving over during the third week of April next year?

    World News w/ Charles Gibson bias on VTech Shooting

    Just watched it, and the issue of gun laws came up. I'm misquoting, probably, but the gist of things said, I'm serious. Then disbelief at the reaction that Susanna Hupp had after a shooting in Texas. "For some reason, she wanted more gun availability." (Susanna Hupp is a texas state...

    Ladies. Gentleman. Fred Thompson 2008

    An interesting piece by Robert Novak that's hitting many newspapers. I took my copy from the Washington Post, but Novak's column appears elsewhere as well. Notice that there is no mention of Ron Paul. Which is sad, because as great as Ron Paul is, or can be, who's Ron Paul? I didn't know...

    What Happened to Dick's Sporting Goods?

    I haven't been in one in a few years, and I wasn't quite so knowledgeable on arms when I went last. But today, I went to a Dick's Sporting Goods that had just opened. I went all the way in the back, and I saw this tiny counter for a few long guns and plinkers. I asked one of the guys, (to his...

    If Chuck Norris Owned a Gun....

    Which would it be? Yes, yes, I know that Chuck Norris prefers his fists and his roundhouse kicks, but what if he wanted to own a gun? "Chuck Norris does not hunt because the word hunting infers the probability of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing."

    .243 Questions

    Hello brothers and sisters. My question concerns short-action "varmint" or "long-range" models. For so many brands, the chamberings will be .223, 22-250, and .308 for a particular gun. But not .243. Last I checked, .243 and .308 were supposed to be essentially the same cartridge, right? Such...
