On ‘Terrible Implements’

U.S. Second Amendment: Means ALL Weapons & ZERO Infringements [More]

Or as Tench Coxe put it:

Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American…

I’ve been following Alan Chwick’s work for a long time. Have you?

His insights, including when combined with those of Paul Gallant, Sherry Gallant, and his recently deceased writing partner Joanne D. Eisen, have been invaluable learning tools for me.

UPDATE

I know that when I pointed out something that concerned me, Alan told me “Feel free to call it out. Open dialog is always good.”

Work in ‘Progress’

Amazon Brings Back Controversial Anti-Theft Metal Detector Screenings for Employees: ‘Make Our Facilities More Safe and Secure’ [More]

Because nothing improves employee morale like saying “We don’t trust you.”

Of course, that starts before Day One, when companies require you to submit a urine sample, and Americans have just gone along with it.
