http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2013/09/17/us-history-textbook-guts-the-second-amendment/ By claiming they are summarizing the Amendments in the Bill of Rights, Newman and AMSCO are providing cover for changing the meaning of 2A. Yet again, it appears the education system is to be used as a tool for...

http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/08/27/Harvard-Study-Shows-No-Correlation-Between-Strict-Gun-Control-And-Less-Crime-Violence This could be a handy little tidbit, next time an "intellectual" starts spouting off about Gun Control. I thought it was interesting when a Harvard...

This is a 3", fixed sight model. Bead blasted; tuned; beveled and chamfered; billboard removed*; moon clip cut; gold bead front sight; Bolivian Rosewood grips. Shoots great. Comfortable with magnums. Nicer trigger than my K frames have (to my surprise). Edit: * as noted by a couple...

I saw a thread on TFL about one of these pistols, and decided I would like to have one. Looked up the website, and my desire grew more expensive, as I then decided I would also like a GP100. The GP is in work, but the SP arrived last week. I did not opt for the hybraporting. I did opt for...

I really like this pistol. This almost surprises me, as I thought I might want to change out the alumagrips; I have long fingers, and have always preferred the full palm-swell type grips on CZ (and other) pistols, but I really like the thin grips in this case. The skateboard tape may be a...

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/2013/08/16/bloombergs-public-housing-fingerprinting-idea-stuns-infuriates-residents/ Now he wants all residents of public housing to submit to mandatory fingerprinting. It's just a little liberty, to be sacrificed in the name of public safety. No big deal, right...

I haven't had time to search through this yet, but it looks potentially interesting; it's the only comprehensive database I've found, so far, with regard to Stand Your Ground cases. http://www.tampabay.com/stand-your-ground-law/fatal-cases On surface skimming of it, I noted that of the 133...

The longer I live in Missouri, the happier I am about having moved to Missouri. The latest: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/07/13/mo-gov-signs-gun-safety-course-for-first-graders/?test=latestnews The law does not require, but does encourage, school districts to provide NRA Eddie Eagle...

The comments section is scathing, and many of the comments are better written than is the piece by the professor. Enjoy (and simultaneously mourn if this man truly teaches journalism): http://www.wvgazette.com/Opinion/OpEdCommentaries/201305300071

This story is a very forceful reminder that there is no guarantee of individual protection by LE, and that officers may only be able to clean up the mess afterward...

It's nice to have approach-approach conflicts. Had to decide what to carry today... CZ P01 tuned by Matt Mink and equipped with CrimsonTrace laser grips; or HK P7 PSP in Metaloy Hard Chrome with Nill grips; or Hunter Custom Commander built from Caspian, blued slide over Metaloy HC...

Had a thread a while ago about a P7 PSP I'd picked up on GB. It was blued over OD green, which I found different but not particularly appealing. I decided to change it around a bit. Before, with stock grips and blued over OD: After, with Nill grips and a Hard Chrome treatment from Chris...

For those who have not yet read it, LaPierre lists several penalties already in place, but rarely enforced, for crimes committed using firearms. Penalties range from 10 years to life imprisonment or death penalty. He discusses relative lack of employment of these penalties, by feds and by the...

... from Delegate Don Dwyer, Jr. (I signed an online petition about Maryland gun control, so now I get updates even though I live in Missouri.) This is about the status of gun control bills in Maryland, and the need for Maryland citizens to IMMEDIATELY contact their reps:

This does not surprise me, nor do I have any trouble believing it. This does make me question the wisdom of avoiding discussion of politics, when politicians are known to be anti-gunners.
