A right and a responsibility.
Ukrainian translation of my poster about self-defense.
On the importance of eye protection
The risk to the boy’s vision, above, is pretty obvious. The cock of the gunlock blocks some of the debris from reaching the right eye, but the left eye is unprotected. While blinking offers some protection to the eyeballs, our … Continue reading
Once an object of desire…
…until the first time I tried it. Turned out, Beretta 12S is an ergonomic nightmare, with badly designed sights and safety. The back-pressure from the sound suppressor also threw gunk into the user’s face from the ejection port. Had submachine … Continue reading
Classic vs. modern

Self-identification matters
I identify as an American. My Thompson identifies as a Chicago typewriter. It’s a First Amendment matter now.
This is why gun ownership remains a political controversy
All other concerns — hunting, sport, even self-defense — are secondary considerations to people who do not wish to be ruled…and to the fiends whose self-worth depends on ruling others.
Fighting doesn’t guarantee either victory or survival.
But inability to fight pretty much guarantees extinction or subjugation. “The Last Jew in Vinnytsia” history. A typical American Jew is a little harder to victimize: The same applies to other ethnic, religious, and behavioural minorities.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Living in America is an awesome boon. Some of us paid for it, others had parents or more distant ancestors do the work for us. Either way, it’s worth celebrating. While this country has better parts and worse, there’s no … Continue reading
A true sign of an effete civilization…
…is the reluctance to initiate warfare, rapine and bloody mayhem, like true servants of benevolent gods do. Instead, we wait, like little scared bitches, for others to start the fight so that we can end it without guilt.

Road blocked ahead by trash?
I’ve brought a broom.
Second Amendment for new arrivals
Even though I knew of private gun ownership when I first came to the United States, there was still an emotional disconnect between seeing others own guns and realizing that my parents could. For people from even less RKBA friendly countries … Continue reading
Spotting anti-gun propaganda
Just saw a link to an animation featuring sheriff’s kid shooting dad with a visibly unloaded Winchester rifle. The hammer on the safely carried rifle is shown in the uncocked position, followed immediately by the accidental shooting. People who are … Continue reading

“No guns” postings on restaurant doors
I would estimate that half of Nashville restaurants have no carry signs. I am curious how they can afford to turn away a substantial portion of potential customers, both those who carry and those in the same group with them? … Continue reading

“Federal law prohibits….”
For all the jackboot lickers who insist that laws are morality and must be followed, I submit this exhibit: The same exhibit illustrates just how common ingredients for weapons are. Humans have been making serviceable weapons since before Paleolith, and … Continue reading
