OK, folks, I'm at the precipice of purchasing a brand spanken new 1911 for target shooting. I'm not sure that I will ever compete (maybe just hang out at the range with all my favorite people), but who the heck knows. My question is, which 1911 will it be? I'm currently looking at a Kimber...

Dear Friends, First, let's get one thing straight: I'm not one of those "moderates" that believes in "reasonable gun control". That's all a huge distraction away from effective law enforcement and punishment of criminals -- the most effective CRIME control measure IMHO. That being said, am I...

Here's a newsclip I just ran across and thougth I would pass on: Shooting Spree Leads to Lawsuit against Gun Makers (CNSNews.com) - From last year's random violence at a Jewish community center in Los Angeles springs a class-action lawsuit intended to punish the gun industry. Families of the...

Dear Friends, I wasn't going to vote for Pat (which would be a risky, wasted vote IMHO), but I was very much looking forward to his participation in the presidential debates. He would have been truly excellent at calling both Mutt (Algore) and Jeff ("W") on their now inevitable and virtually...

Just ran across this very quotable quote in The Federalist. I have (with full attribution) co-opted it as my new signature. I know, who the heck cares!! I just like it very much. Best regards, Oscar "Quemadmoeum gladuis neminem occidit, occidentis telum est." (A sword is never a killer, it...

Dear Friends, WARNING: This is quite depressing. It's also quite true. The highlighted word 'fatally' is Mr. Robert's apparent defeatest conclusion. I'm at least 1/2 of 1% more optomistic than him that America will rise again. Oscar Paul Craig Roberts (archive) July 12, 2000 A house...

Dear Friends, This happens to be my 100th post on TFL. I have reserved this moment for an issue/matter that substantially contributes to the collective learning and experience of my fellow TFLers. Thanks for providing me the forum to "do my part". Best regards, Oscar Beer Warning...

I just read this, and once again, the pediatricians are making my blood boil. It's no wonder that so many people in this country (the same ones that would support this tyranny) have absolutely no problem with Castro. This is total left-wing garbage. It is a bit curious, however, that certain...

This is hilarious! Thought I would share it with my friends at TFL. Oscar Clinton Offered Box of Cuban Cigars (CNSNews.com) - President Clinton reportedly looked irritated and smiled politely when German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder offered him a box of Cuban cigars at dinner Thursday night...

The Governor's office in Little Rock has taken a huge step forward since the Clinton days. Finally, Arkansans have a governor to be proud of. The following is a copy of the text from a letter written by Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee to New York Attorney General, Eliot Spitzer, regarding the...

Hi Everybody, I was just perusing the internet and noticed that the Long Island Shooting Center is running a sale this week on the P245 Sig (compact .45). The sale price is $569. This seems VERY reasonable to me. What are your thoughts? Best regards, Oscar P.S. The web address is...

Dear Friends, Surprise surprise, the Minneapolis Red Star/Tribune is conducting an Elian poll. It's indoctrinated readership is supporting the government raid approximately 2 to 1. Maybe I should just ignore this trash, but I couldn't. I'm not even entirely certain that the no votes are being...

An excellent excerpt from the National Review. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but this doesn't exactly make our choice in November seen like much of a choice at all on RKBA issues. Unreliable Guns Aren't "Smart" If your life depended on it, would you want a gun that functioned as reliably...
