Anti-gun leftists have, as usual, hijacked today's mass shooting at a high school to push their agenda for civilian disarmament. We all know what to expect: cries for congress to implement an assault weapons ban and universal background checks. Neither will do a damn thing to prevent the next attack, but both will handsomely trample... Continue Reading →
The European Mindset on Guns
I was in Brussels when I noticed it. Fabulous city, great place to visit, I was there on business. Over the course of the week I walked all over that city to get the feel for it after the day in the office. I noticed a significant cultural difference between Belgium and my homeland: there...

Tom Brady and Bob Vogel: A Perfect Example of Backwards Priorities
Now, before I proceed, a disclaimer: I like football and I like Tom Brady. I have nothing against either. With that said…. In 1457 James II of Scotland banned the sport of golf because it was taking away time and effort from the practice of archery. James considered such fascination with a worthless game a...

The World is Changing: Occasionally for the Better
I am not terribly old (soon to be officially middle aged) but even in my almost-four-decades the world has changed dramatically. I know I am getting old because I am convinced everything was better when I was a kid. Perhaps I am just nostalgic? Na, everything was actually better. The music was awesome. Kids my...

Separation from the Warrior: A Social Prescription for Disaster
The softening of American character is the single greatest threat to this nation and I vehemently believe that. America has never been a truly martial society as we would characterize the ancient Spartans or the like. Rather, America was founded by men who were farmers, merchants, craftsmen, printers, artisans, but also Minutemen. The Minuteman was... Continue Reading →
Guest Appearance on ITRH Urban Survival Podcast
One of my favorite podcasts is In the Rabbit Hole Urban Survival. While I listen to a number of prepper podcasts this particular one offers the most diverse span of topics and guests that I have found. I discovered ITRH some time back and I have listened to every episode since and have even gone... Continue Reading →
The Second Amendment and Consistent Hypocrisy
While most people in the gun culture certainly lean right politically I for one am fairly agnostic with my political views. Sure, I am more right of the isle than left, but I hardly find the right worthy of much praise either. However, there is one element that ensures my tolerance of the right over... Continue Reading →
No Weapons in Church: A Long-Established and Deadly Tradition
One of the relatively few television series that I have watched and enjoyed is Vikings. I have actually only watched the first two seasons, I intend to jump into the third season once I find the time. A particularly interesting scene occurs early on in the series when the primary character Ragnar, a Viking raider... Continue Reading →
Black Rifles: Tools of Freedom, Thus Vilified by the Left
With a Republican now in the White House tens of millions of law abiding gun owners are relieved to not be under constant attack from at least that particular governmental entity. Regardless, according to the left, the AR15 and similar black rifles are tools of mass destruction favored by active shooters and this absurd outcry... Continue Reading →
The Prepper Movement, Guns, and Lost Trust
National disasters in our recent history such as hurricanes, fires, floods, or civil unrest, teach us that it is wise to be ready for such contingencies. However, while I am all for being prepared, I am not quite there with the people who have underground bunkers in the back yard. I don’t have a gas... Continue Reading →
