Tweet I stopped going through my inbox when I got it down to 100 unread emails. It’s now scooted its way back up to 170 unread emails. So, I’m going to continue clearing the inbox and posting those things that are not only interesting but still relevant. Here’s a matched set for you. Back in [...]

Tweet I don’t know what kind of airplay NRA ads get. Since the clicker never touches my hand (others in the household are more wedded to it than I), I haven’t seen a commercial in a good twenty-years. I do hope, though, that this particular commercial gets some serious play. People need to start remembering [...]

Tweet Because this is Marin and I am not a hermit, I frequently find myself in conversation with Democrats. It was to be expected, therefore, that conversation over the Christmas holiday would end up revolving around gun control. These conversations were disheartening on all sides.

Tweet Despite being fairly decent at both sympathy and empathy, I truly cannot imagine what the survivors of the school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, are experiencing, and that’s true whether I think of the ones in the line of fire or the family and friends whose loved ones were at the school. Shooting children like [...]

Tweet I had a delightful reason for my blog silence today: I had a pistol safety and training class, followed by an instructor supervised hour at the shooting range. As you all know, on November 28, 2009 — exactly three years ago — I went to the shooting range with my brother-in-law and had a [...]

Tweet Within seconds of Romney’s announcement that Ryan would be his running mate, the chatter started. Democrats expressed delight, because they see Ryan’s stance on Medicare as one they can use to portray Romney and Ryan as Satan incarnate. A couple of years ago, they showed Ryan pushing grandma’s wheelchair off the cliff. This year, [...]

Tweet If I recall correctly, the NRA was cautious in 2008 when it came to Barack Obama. It campaigned against him, but without vigor. That tentativeness is gone this year, as demonstrated by the official 2012 NRA campaign slogan: “All In.” To this end, the NRA has created a page called Firearms Future, which looks [...]

Tweet Here is a message from the NRA: Anti-gun hysteria has reached a fever pitch in the Golden State. The California Assembly is considering a bill (Assembly Bill 2062) this session that, if passed, will have dire consequences for California’s law-abiding gun owners. AB2062 is scheduled to be heard on Wednesday, May 7 in the [...]
