There is a very simple statement that goes back decades as a general principle for predicting the outcome of elections and political change: “It’s the economy, stupid!” I first heard that from my astute father as a child, and I heard it again in politics classes in college. When people are having difficulty making ends... Continue Reading →
This blog is, obviously, firearms focused and handgun centered, but we discuss a lot of topics related to the security of the individual in our contemporary United States.

The world is on fire. The international situation is fostering terrorism and we might be close to an attack by sleeper cells here in the Continental United States.

Another school shooting this week, this time at a Highschool in Georgia, killing two students and two teachers. The most bewildering thing about this situation is that it was committed by a 14-year-old. As of this writing little is released about the perpetrator. Does it matter?

Here we will resume our analysis of violent fanaticism by looking at the large, fanatical, movements in the world that do, or will, directly affect us.
