Matt Bracken - The War on Guns

The Last Valley

This level of 30-Years-War savagery may be coming back to Europe. If you think Protestants vs Catholics got pretty nasty and ugly in the early 1600s, wait until you see millions of Mohammedans fully mobilized in all-out jihad. Just replace the horses and muskets in the film with motorbikes, truck-mounted heavy machine guns and AK-47s. (The way that Syria was recently overrun). [More]

Coming soon, to a liberal Western democracy near you.

My response, for years, to those who point out Europe’s/UK’s fewer “gun deaths” and attribute that to citizen disarmament:

You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Desperate Measures

Hot kinetic Civil War dead ahead. Expand and study. Musk RT'd this, agreeing.https://t.co/d8g81LiEnq
The deep state communist subversives formerly employed at the FBI, AID etc are not just going to meekly go away. No, they are enraged, and they will do all the damage they… pic.twitter.com/naOR041dk6

We sure live in interesting times.

But we’ll keep the trophy wife around for a while…

Make Book on It

Victor Davis Hanson’s latest book is a macabre warning to an aging America as it closes in on its 250th birthday. The warning comes in the form of a graphic depiction of the hideousness of war and the terrifying state of those who suffer ignominious defeat. [More]

Good news– it looks my library, so maybe yours, isn’t refusing to stock it.

Wish I could say the same for stuff by Matt Bracken.

MODERN CITY IS A GLASS DOME

David Codrea calls some groups of people MREs, which in this context means Morons Ready to Eat, because there will be no other food… [Watch]

I had to go looking for that because it was over 10 years ago— funny, what some people retain…

In any case, what this is really about is Matt Bracken’s “Coffee and a Mike” interview to discuss his new book, Doomsday Reef. I haven’t read it (yet) but longtime readers will recall the enthusiastic thumbs ups I gave each entry in his Enemies trilogy, and in basically everything I’ve seen the guy involved in.

Hey, I read that book!

Have you?

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
