Notes from the Resistance
Senior Citizen Handguns – Do Older Folks Need Different Handguns? Sometimes … [More]
Yeah, my thumbs aren’t what they used to be…
Fortunately, this doesn’t apply to me, because as everyone here knows, especially you LE lurkers, I don’t own any guns. Evil, nasty things always going around killing people…
The prohibitonists, of course, have an entirely different take on aging…
The simplest explanation is that YouTube agrees with the gun prohibitionists on zero “tolerance” for young people being anywhere near them. [More]
They have subsequently recanted and allowed the video, but too little too late and I’ve had it with them.

Whether you appreciate firearms for reasons of technical interest, design, performance, or historical knowledge, or all of the above, L42A1: King of the Enfield Sniper Rifles hits all targets… [More]
Every once in a while I like to take a break from screaming at cars over politics and just have fun with a good old-fashioned weapon of war.
You see, before 1920, Britain’s gun laws were so relaxed they made Texas look effeminate. You could buy a pistol and bullets at the ironmonger’s. But this country, in that period, was not a hellhole of mass shootings and armed bank raids. Is it possible that the USA’s problems with gun crime, or indeed the hideous massacre which took place in Prague the other day, are not caused by the ready availability of guns, but by the ready availability of something else? [More]
As should be obvious to all regulars, I do freedom and culture and leave the hardware to those who know it better than I do, which is no doubt many of you. That said, this was just called to my attention and I’m calling ot to yours:

Just a subjective design comment here: If I were doing it, I’d replace ✅ with ☠️ under “Permit to Purchase” and “State Background Check.”
“Yeah, well we have the results from the medical examiner’s report, first of all, and that is that all three individuals were killed by firearms.” [More]

Oklahoma school to offer nation’s first bachelor’s in gunsmithing [More]
And unlike gender studies and race-hustling degrees, students can actually get jobs after graduation, so naturally, anti-self-defense political stool sample John Waldron is against it.

Herschel has some observations.
Milwaukee police said they were so afraid of their department-issued handguns randomly firing, they wouldn’t bring them home near their family [More]
I’m not a hardware guy– I do rights. I don’t know enough about it to know if this is just a ploy to put on public pressure or if there really is a design/manufacturing flaw. Like I said back when, if the allegations are true, then it’s not protected. Which is as it should be.
