Sebastian takes to task a collaborator who doesn’t see the point of black rifles. Sebastian makes a great point:
When these people come for your sport, if they already have my AR-15, I’m out of the fight.  I do not hunt — I’m a competitive target shooter, and I carry a pistol for self-defense.  My interest [...]

I’m back from my conference.  It was a great few days.  Final tally:
2 new NRA members
1 renewal.  A colleague that I have talked guns with a few times.  I said “I need you to do me a favor.  I need you to join the NRA.”  He said, “I did, a few years ago.  But they [...]

Tech conference final tally:
1 new NRA member
1 on the fence (I’m working on him)
1 newbie ask me to take him shooting.
I was amazed at how many people were openly talking about buying firearms, between the new adminstration and the economic situation…and this was a room full of computer geeks.  I told them “get ‘em while [...]

Regular readers (Hi Mom!) know that I am fan of Guntalk. Tom has sent out a new Truth Squad bulletin.  In it, he lays out the plan for fighting the incoming Obama gun-ban agenda.  I think he lays out the stakes pretty well:
If Chris Cox, head of the NRA Institute for Legislative Action, walks into [...]

The day is here.  Obama has won.  Guns are flying off the shelf.  You can’t buy an Evil Black Rifle to save your life.
Before he took it down, his transition website contained this gem (rescued from the memory hole by Google cache.)  The important part:
Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal [...]

I thought it was well balanced and very informative.

A small firestorm is raging over at Sebastian’s place, and it has gotten him down.
The core fight seems to be whether or not it makes sense to work within the political system, or if we have lost the battle for our gun rights and should stand around shouting “Shall not be infringed!!!”.
I’m honestly shocked at [...]
