Thunderbawl Revisited

Too bad Connery — and the rest of the lot — turned out to be such tools.

Then He Slithered and Slunk, with a Smile Most Unpleasant, Around the Whole Room, and He Took Every Present!

What You Need to Know Before Gifting a Gun [Watch]

Do it in a way that won’t let the grinches steal your freedom.

If you’re a famous gun-grabber, you get a pass.

‘King of the Enfield Sniper Rifles’ Combines Superb Photos with Detailed History

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.

It’s NOT the Guns…?

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]

Go on…

Grading on the Curve

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:

Is this something thast new materials and tech would allow to be perfected?

And if somebody tried, would “in common use” prove a hindrance?

Just a subjective design comment here: If I were doing it, I’d replace ✅ with ☠️ under “Permit to Purchase” and “State Background Check.”

Firearms Guide

NEW 14th PRO EDITION PUBLISHED TODAY! NEW Firearms Guide 14th PRO Edition has 3,000 newly added gun schematics, blueprints, manuals and old guns & ammo catalogs + 2023 guns! [More]

Regulars here know I focus on the right to keep and bear them, not the guns themselves. That said, this looks like a resource those of you who are technically inclined will find very useful.

Guns on Campus

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.

I wonder if Democrats will demand an exception on student loan “forgiveness” if that ever gets passed…

Bad-Mouthing Youth Shooting Sports Shows Brady Interested in Prohibition, Not Gun Safety

“What about injuries in Clay Target shooting? None. Since the High School Clay Target League’s inception in 2008, there have been no recorded injuries to athletes, coaches, or spectators. Ever.” [More]

It’s demonstrably the safest high school sport in the country. So leave it to the prohibitionists to stoke hoplophobia, with safety being the last thing on their minds.

We’re the Only Ones Hoplophobic Enough

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.

We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Boat

RESOLVED, That the Texas House of Representatives and Senate submit the notification to the federal government, the current presidential administration, and any future administration that any attempt to buyback, confiscate, or register some or all firearms, accessories, and ammunition will not be possible or necessary in the counties of Hunt, Hopkins, Van Zandt, and possibly other counties due to this series of alleged boating accidents. [More]

I was worried about environmentalcases having a fit, but we’ve got precedent courtesy of the “Only Ones.”

I don’t live in Texas so it’s a good thing I never had any guns in the first place. Nasty, evil things always going around killing people…
