A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is still putting on its shoes.

Posted on January 10, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Mark Twain was right. The current gun control push is fueled by conducting a false flag operation (which Fast and Furious was and the school shootings may be), then quickly making many false claims about guns, medical privacy, freedom of … Continue reading →

The “nobody needs” fallacy

Posted on January 6, 2013 by Oleg Volk

Does anyone really need old family snapshots? Pictures of your child as a baby, or of your grandparents on their honeymoon have no monetary worth and nearly no practical value. What can you do with them, besides looking every few … Continue reading →

What if my 30rd magazine is really a 10-rounder?

Posted on January 4, 2013 by Oleg Volk

458SOCOM rifles use the standard .223 magazines which hold 10 rounds of the larger ammunition. Does this mean that 10-round .458 magazines would become very popular should the proposed ban go into effect? Their ability to hold 30 .223Rem cartridges … Continue reading →

A question for my readers

Posted on January 2, 2013 by Oleg Volk

AWB2013 — what have you done about it? Have you at least called your representatives? Won’t do enough by itself but can’t be left out as an important component of the overall fight.

The twisted “logic” of gun control laws.

Posted on January 2, 2013 by Oleg Volk

This is a 10-22 receiver. By US law, this is considered a firearm. If you bring this item to a “gun-free” zone, you would be guilty of a felony. In case of Browning M1919 machine gun, the “firearm” is merely … Continue reading →

Several theories about Feinstein’s splash of enthusiasm about gun banning.

Posted on January 1, 2013 by Oleg Volk

She’s grandstanding for her local electorate. It’s a feint to draw the attention away from the economic depression. She’s got some terminal disease and wants to become a martyr instead. She thinks this is the best time to actually accomplish … Continue reading →

The ethics of gun control.

Posted on December 30, 2012 by Oleg Volk

What would you think if a prospective date confirmed the time, the place and the plans for the evening, then added: “Make sure that you come unarmed”? Would you go to the date anyway or wonder what he’s up to? … Continue reading →

A good reason for liberals to oppose gun control

Posted on December 24, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Any gun control will be viewed as the fault of the Democrats. The electoral fallout from that would push the Democrat social agenda back by many years. So what do liberals want more, gun control or all those other changes, … Continue reading →

One devious reason for the illogical nature of anti-gun laws

Posted on December 23, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Most violations of the myriad of Byzantine laws and regulations are prosecuted as felonies. Having an 11-round magazine in a state that forbids anything over 10 opens a person for prosecution. If that prosecution succeeds — a lifetime disenfranchisement AND … Continue reading →

The mad numerologists of gun-control

Posted on December 22, 2012 by Oleg Volk

The push to restrict magazine capacity focuses on the apparently magic number “ten”. Reduce Americans to ten-round magazines and no more mass murder, they claim. Let’s look at where this leads. Ten rounds has been the standard capacity for military … Continue reading →

Victimizing the survivors

Posted on December 22, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Supposedly, some totalitarian regimes bill the families of executed criminals (or dissidents) for the bullets used by firing squads. Probably an urban legend, but our great leader and his friends in congress are trying to top it. All the proposed … Continue reading →

Thoughts on school shootings

Posted on December 22, 2012 by Oleg Volk

1. Mass murderers who plan on killing themselves after the spree are not deterred by posthumous legal penalties. Really. Trying to disarm everyone who can theoretically snap is impossible — witness the Russian cops doing mass shootings against the disarmed … Continue reading →

How gun control laws have consequences for their authors

Posted on December 20, 2012 by Oleg Volk

What happens when some legislator votes for a gun control bill to make it into a law? Adding restriction on gun ownership makes violent crime more frequent. It makes defensive weapons more expensive. And it puts a few people in … Continue reading →

Economics 101: the price spikes.

Posted on December 20, 2012 by Oleg Volk

Imagine a store with ten rifles in stock, average wholesale price $500, retail $600. One sells per week, on average. What should the store do when the customers buy five rifles in a day? They would want to re-stock immediately … Continue reading →

My take on the current feeding frenzy

Posted on December 19, 2012 by Oleg Volk

I do not think that it will amount to anything in terms of gun control. When our side is voting with thousands of dollars in purchases and many hours of activism, training and lobbying, the other side has only talking … Continue reading →
