I get the feeling that suppressors are about to get a little more illegal-er. Last Friday, some skidmark decided to shoot up his workplace, and he did it using a suppressor. It’s only been a couple of days since, but already the anti-gunners are (pardon the pun) up in arms about the fact that it’s…
I feel like this election cycle’s crop of anti-gunners isn’t trying very hard. Here’s my “modest proposal” to help them kick it up a notch. The run-up to the 2020 presidential election is well underway, and already, I couldn’t possibly be more bored. It’s not that the current crop of anti-gunners–Booker, Warren, Biden, et al–aren’t…
I recently (as in, it’s still mounted to my test bed AR) spent three weeks with the new Holosun circle red dot optic, and I couldn’t be more pleased… A QUICK UNBOXING The Holosun circle red dot optic arrived in a very nice foam-fitted hard plastic box. The packaging indicates to me that they care…
Are you on the lookout for an everyday carry knife that’s tactical and practical? Whether you’re looking to add an edged weapon to your everyday carry (EDC) rig, or you just want to have a knife that will always be handy for whatever everyday task, you may find that Bear & Son Cutlery’s brand-new Bear…
This isn’t grassroots, but it is definitely something you can use to make grass grow… Ah, springtime, when the farmers of the world get the soil ready for crops by spreading the “common sense gun control” they collected from the floors of the barn all winter. It’s interesting to note that although the mainstream media…
He’s the gift that just keeps on giving…like herpes. Ah, good ol’ Sideshow Joe Biden: Between his folksy, aw-shucks schtick, his creepy-uncle behavior with the ladies, and his complete cluelessness about anything involving gunpowder, he’s been a real boon for sarcastic gun writers. Not so much for actual gun rights, I’m afraid, but up until…
Hint: It does not involve arguing on the Internet. That’s just for fun. A few days ago, I wrote a post about the six types of anti-gunners and how to spot them. One commenter–whom I’m not picking on, because he has a solid point–remarked that attempting to educate or inform an anti-gunner is generally a…
This whole thing will be a lot funnier if you read it to yourself in David Attenborough’s voice, but Gordon Ramsay’s will work okay too. The taxonomy of anti-gunners is fascinating, and unlike some other fauna they’re not difficult to observe in their natural environment. Venture carefully through the doors of your local small-batch, farm-to-table,…
Wondering what that smell is? No, nobody’s boiling broccoli…it’s Sen. Cory Booker! I don’t know about you, but my favorite part of the campaign election cycle is the bit where the candidates get in slap-fights to see who can be the most extreme (which happens right up until the part where they receive their nomination,…
The embattled retailer seems to have slid right into Everytown For Gun Safety with ease. Today, in “how the Hell did I miss this when it first happened” news, we have the following information, courtesy of Breitbart: Apparently Dick’s Sporting Goods Richard Stack has joined Everytown Business Leaders For Gun Safety. As you probably already…
Everybody loves quick shot-to-shot follow-up, but not everyone loves (or can have) semi-autos. The curtain came up on a number of very interesting things at the NRA Annual Meetings in Indianapolis this past weekend, but a new trend in long guns made a surprising debut: Henry Repeating Arms and Marlin both introduced new, updated versions…
There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is…the Dumbass Zone. One of my favorite things about anti-gunners is that they’re an endless source of hilarity…that is, of course, as long as you put out of your…
