Every time the mainstream media covers Second Amendment issues, we get to hear the “paranoia” slander… …And every time an actual disaster hits, and armed citizens are forced to ensure their own safety, the gun banners go silent. The article I linked in the last sentence is pretty much straightforward news reporting, but it’s an…
This is a situation in which I don’t mind going green (as long as I can also go red, white, infrared…) It may be the case that Viridian Weapon Technologies began by offering green laser solutions for daytime shooting, but now they’re expanding into the night with their new tactical-grade V Series Long-Range Illuminators. Suitable…
Are you a woman buying your first gun solo? Congratulations! Women who are considering buying their first gun for self-defense face a dizzying array of choices, most of which would more or less serve their purposes. Unfortunately, they’re also faced with a dizzying array of other people’s opinions, much of it foolishness. If you’re a…
Projection isn’t just a way to get your voice heard… …Projection is, of course, a psychological term used to describe a maladaptive way to process feelings that make us uncomfortable: “projecting” them onto someone else. That’s what has always struck me the hardest about some of the things that anti-gun activists will say in unguarded…
Maybe it’s because I’m more “Special Farces” than “Special Forces,” but… If you spend enough time hanging out in Internet-based gun forums (fora?), sooner or later you’re going to see a very, very long thread debating something that seems a bit…obscure. A little unlikely. And slightly less interesting than the age-old question about how many…
Did something newsworthy happen on Saturday? BECAUSE I CAN’T TELL. It was, as we’ve already been told ad nauseum, a Day That Would Go Down In History: Kavanaugh’s appointment to the Supreme Court was confirmed on Saturday, October 6, 2018, by a razor-thin margin. It’s indeed a victory for pro-Second Amendment activism; after all, the…
Smith & Wesson and Ruger are two of the most widely recognized names among gun manufacturers… …and that’s probably why the anti-gunners are so enamored with them…but is it really too much to ask that the gun-control groups try to branch out and share the love with everyone else? It just really seems a little…
Dear Mainstream Journalists, here’s why people who know guns think you’re so full of it, you squeak going into a turn. One of the toughest things about watching the mainstream media trying to report on news pertaining to guns is that it’s so hard on my keyboards, screens, and coffee budget. (You’d think that I’d…
If you carry a concealed firearm for self-defense, the question has no doubt occurred to you: “What would I do if I saw a stranger in distress?” It’s actually a pretty thorny dilemma for armed defenders, because the fact that they now have access to lethal force absolutely does change the calculus about whether or…
Today, we have a guest column from our resident gun-control expert Ima Nidiot, personal-odor trainer and vagina-hat knitting queen. Take it away, Ima! Hello to all you deplorable gun-rights troglodytes! Ima Nidiot here to educate you about how your intellectual betters have determined you’ll be exercising your so-called “Second Amendment ‘rights.’” (Swear to Caitlyn Jenner,…
It’s not paranoia; it’s responsible gun ownership. The self-defense visualization technique for armed citizens known as “Condition Yellow” has recently been the centerpiece of a typically disingenuous article from the anti-gun establishment, which won’t surprise those of us who keep an eye on the mainstream media. Misrepresenting the intentions and mindset of armed defenders as…
