Bullets and bacon.

Posted on January 9, 2015 by Oleg Volk

Is religion a joking matter?

Posted on January 8, 2015 by Oleg Volk

In my view, religion better be a joking matter! Jokes about Buddhism and Christianity and Judaism indicate the currency of these faiths, at least in the US. Few people people joke about Pagan pantheons because they aren’t relevant to the … Continue reading →

A reasonable response to Islamic terrorism

Posted on January 7, 2015 by Oleg Volk

Going after coreligionists of the offenders would make no more sense than bombing the Vatican in response to an IRA attack. The actual culprits of the Paris attack could have been shot dead in the act with minimal difficulty, except … Continue reading →

Cell phone videos of attacks in progress (with corrected link)

Posted on January 7, 2015 by Oleg Volk

(The chair is for concealment and steadier aim. It’s not bullet proof cover, no matter what movies show.) An increasing number of massacres of unarmed civilians are now recorded. Most people who are able to hold a cell phone steadily … Continue reading →

“Gun” control is people control.

Posted on January 7, 2015 by Oleg Volk

In the past, the gun control strategy relied on prior licensing requirements (gradually struck down) and technical restrictions (also gradually abandoned as pointless). Their current strategy is far more insidious: removal of access for new shooters (I-594) and lifetime prohibition … Continue reading →

Teaching is more efficient than fighting

Posted on January 6, 2015 by Oleg Volk

If we ever have to take on the prohibitionists in combat, reducing their strength by two would require inflicting two casualties. Or, if the foes in question are support personnel, two civilian casualties. That’s not something our side would do … Continue reading →

Boberg XR45-S

Posted on January 4, 2015 by Oleg Volk

This pistol’s claim to fame are its specifications: 3.75″ barrel, 22oz weight, low felt recoil, easy to rack slide, good accuracy. The size is really pushing it for a front pocket gun, but it’s sized just right for a jacket or … Continue reading →
