Many pics to share, and video to splice.
MOLON LABE
I find it most amusing that extreme Liberals would threat us with physical violence. They are joking about shooting conservatives all over the Democrat Underground and it’s poured out into the main stream. On CNN they were talking about shooting Alex Jones, and the Chicago Police Chief was actually threatening his Coppers would shoot Licensed Carry Permit Holders. On “Accident”.
These idiots don’t even know what guns are, let alone how to use them. They do not use them frequently or train with them as we do. We are the ones with the Military and Police Training and we Train those of us who didn’t go the LEO/MIL route, to the point they shoot better than the Police in most cases. Because it’s what we do. Most of us have a gun either on us, or within close proximity… If it’s on us, it’s a pistol, and if it’s close by, it’s a Semi-Auto Sporting rifle such as an AR-15 or Civilian AK-47 type, or a Shotgun. As a whole, we are not Soft Targets that they themselves are. They don’t think the way we do. All this while at the same time they would take our guns away from us.
At the same time, we do not need to threaten. It is unnecessary. Let them puff out their chest like angry sparrows. They are without teeth. Maybe a few of them own a gun of some sort. Let’s seem them do an immediate action drill. Let’s hear them tell us what that even is. They are no threat as a whole… We are Lions and they are Lambs and thus we are not bothered by their opinions. And as such, we have no need to make a threat.
Like what James Yeager did on YouTube. He was very angry and not thinking right, and made a threat. This is the internet and one can not do that without it “getting out”. Before Yeager could take that video down and edit it, it was too late. The cat was already out of the bag.
Now, I can understand Yeager’s frustration… I share that too. And I give kudos to him for his patriotism and love of his country and his willingness to defend the US Constitution. But he made a grave mistake in making that threat. None of us need to make such a mistake. All we have to say is Two Words. Two little words convey the entire message we want to say. It’s not a threat. But it is a promise.
All we have to say is ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ! Molon Labe pronounced Molone LaVeigh… it means “Come and get them.” Nothing else needs to be said.
Can’t Wait for SHOT
Zippo
The subject of Bug Out Kits, Survival, and general Preparedness keeps coming back and I’ve noticed that all the damn time people are including “Fire Starting Kits”.
These kits are generally a Magnesium chunk, and Flint and Steel affair. So you can make little sparks to catch some magnesium shaving and tender to start a flame. Yeah, that’s all fine and well. But let me put it this way. If I’m in a Survival Situation, and I need a Flame, I want a damn Flame not some Sparks.
I used to always – Always – have a Zippo lighter with me. I wasn’t a smoker or anything, but the Zippo was a part of my EDC kit. It was nothing fancy, just a classic “Windproof” in plain stainless with “INFANTRY” scratched into it. Had it for years and years. It was one of the two things that I got at Ft. Benning… the other was a Timex watch that I still have. I would still have that Zippo if it wasn’t for TSA. Zippo, knife, a flashlight, wallet and watch. Those were always on me.
So if you already have those items on you all the time… all you need to add to your kit is a little can of fluid to refill the Zippo. Maybe some replacement flint if your are all that worried… But that’s your kit. Forget scratching for sparks… Make some FIRE.
The Zippo Handwarmer is very nice too.
Dear Beretta
I’m a fan of your guns, I really am… But it seems you have a hole in you line up that needs filled.
You guys need to come out with a simple, slim, low bore axis, striker fired pistol.
No rotational locks, slide mounted safety, or anything else that adds width. You teased us with the Nano… We know you could do it. Yes, I’m saying Beretta needs to make a Glock. Imagine a pistol with Glock-like simplicity, but with some Italian good looks and feel. Actually, look hard at the Caracal pistols. That trigger is fantastic. I could have one… And I want one… But something about it is off. I know Beretta could do a better job of it.
The action of the 92 is interesting, and applied to a striker gun could be something fantastic. If it could be done slim wise.

Dear GLOCK
Everyone knows your guns work… and everyone knows your cheap plastic sights totally suck. Everyone that takes their guns seriously, change those sights as soon as they get the chance.
You guys are bringing out the new 30S model, pretty much to compete with the Springfield XDS… Let me tell you, this is going to come up second place to the XDS. The S is slimmer, which is the biggest complaint about the 26 and 27 which are considered chunky. The S also has the advantage that it’s coming with good sights, right out of the box.
PLEASE…
Put some decent sights on your guns!
Just so we are Clear
Because of the stupidly high crime rates in areas with super strict gun control that obviously doesn’t work… we have to increase gun control everywhere else.
Angry Rant Time
Maybe they are right. Who needs “Shoulder Thingies That Go Up”? I mean, that’s some serious effing firepower right there.
Alien Predator Weapon Tech is not to be taken lightly, for sure. But who needs it?
Let me tell you. If the Government has it, then we need it too. And here’s why. We have the Second Amendment, and this is exactly what it’s for.
“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
While we can throw out the argument about Artillery and the always tossed “would you want your neighbor to have a nuke?” bs response… We can consider all Small Arms as valid and necessary for the security of the people and these are exactly the Arms that shall not be infringed so we can bear them. Penn said it best when he broke the Second Amendment down. Because the Militia is Necessary, we having just fought a war against a well regulated militia, The People – meaning us and not The Militia – will not have our right to keep and bear arms infringed.
To keep and bear…. That means to Have. To Bear, that means to be able to Carry with us. In a holster or over the shoulder on a sling, or even carried in a Low Ready Position – that is bearing arms.
What of these Arms? What are we talking about? Muskets? Certainly not. The British had Muskets, but the Colonials upped the ante with the use of cutting edge weapon technology… We had Rifles. Much more accurate than the Muskets of the standing Militia. Fast forward to today’s times. The US Military rifles are the M4 Carbine and the M16A4. These weapons should be available to the public. But they are not. This gives advantage to The State over The People. Because the people can only have an AR-15, which are Semi Auto Only Sporting Rifles which can be no shorter than 16 inches. The Military has Full Auto and Burst Fire with no restrictions on barrel lengths. If we can not have at least the same rifle as the Military – Our rights have been infringed on. Simple as that.
The big problem with this infringement is the National Firearms Act of 1934, which basically gave rise to the ATF, which is one of the most useless Government Agencies on the Planet. The NFA pretty much infringed on everyone, and insured that the Government is able to put a boot to your neck any time they wish. Ruby Ridge happened over two shotguns that had been cut off slightly shorter than the prescribed 18 inches. A Wife, a Son, and their Dog, along with a Federal Marshall, were killed over an arbitrary length decided on back in 1934. This is ridiculous. But things like that happen all the time with the ATF, because that is their business… the bullshit Dotted I’s and Crossed T’s, they hunt them like IRS Accountants and act as if they are personally insulted if someone forgets to put “UT” behind “PROVO” on the place of birth. Really, how many Provo’s are there in the USA? But that is a violation… VIOLATION!!! Punishable by FINES or the loss of your LICENSE… they can put you out of business if you make too many mistakes in your paperwork, no matter how small.
No other industry is regulated like this. The ludicrousness of this so over the top, no other industry would tolerate it… but it’s done because of the great cause of “Public Safety”.
If this country want’s Safety, it’s pretty easy to do. Disband the ATF and repeal the NFA. Use that budget to improve road signs and put up Hazard Warning systems to alert drivers of dangers ahead in the road. Or for a system that enforces the common sense of not Texting While Driving… you know… things that would actually save lives and not cost them.
Rest in Peace: John Noveske
We are saddened to learn the news of the passing of John Noveske. He was killed in a motor vehicle accident in which the details are still being investigated.
Our thoughts and prayers are with his Family and Friends.
John raised the bar in the AR-15 business and the gun industry as a whole. There are few individuals who had so much influence. He will be missed.
