Veterans Day Slideshow
Posted by EdFriedman2, Nov 5 2009, 04:16 PM
GunsAndHunting.com is running a very nice tribute for Veterans Day. Go check it out. If you know any veterans in the D.C. area, make sure they know about the NRA Range event on November 10; they’re invited to shoot for free, but space is limited, so they should contact the range ASAP to reserve a spot.
It was great to see ads during game six of the World Series last night supporting our veterans. Applebee’s is offering a free entrée to all veterans and active duty servicemen and women on Veterans Day.
Also, check out the USS New York, set to be commissioned this weekend in the Hudson River. The bow of the ship was made of steel from the World Trade Center. I saw a report indicating that twice as many sailors than necessary volunteered to serve on the ship.
Most of all, don’t forget to thank a veteran. Our liberty exists because of them.

Many thanks to Steve for letting me guest post over at The Firearm Blog. Head over to read about my recent antelope hunt in Wyoming with Weatherby, Barnes and Zeiss. A good time was had by all non-antelope.
You should be reading The Firearm Blog every day, anyway.

What’s All This Then?

In merry-olde England, everyone is a pedophile, at least according to the increasingly Big Brother-like government over there.
I’m not trying to pick on the Brits this week, there’s just so many stories that make one’s head explode coming from that once-great nation. It’s actually quite sad.
Shocking!
Posted by EdFriedman2, Oct 28 2009, 01:26 PMI mean, absolutely amazing. An article on a mainstream media website that is both fair, even positive toward guns and shooting AND lacks a quote from some anti-human rights wackjob. Didn’t get a chance to check out the video, but I’d imagine it’s the same. I’ve got a feeling Satan forgot to pay the heating bill this month…
Only Cops Should Have Guns?

As Bad as King George

The tyranny in Britain, that is.
Actually useful Englishmen Gilbert & Sullivan (each dead about a century now), wrote a fine song to describe the “men” in England today:
Three little maids from school are we
Pert as a school-girl well can be
Filled to the brim with girlish glee
Three little maids from school
Everything is a source of fun
Nobody's safe, for we care for none
Life is a joke that's just begun
Three little maids from school
Three little maids who, all unwary
Come from a ladies' seminary
Freed from its genius tutelary
Three little maids from school
Three little maids from school
One little maid is a bride, Yum-Yum
Two little maids in attendance come
Three little maids is the total sum
Three little maids from school
Three little maids from school
From three little maids take one away
Two little maids remain, and they
Won't have to wait very long, they say
Three little maids from school
Three little maids from school
Three little maids who, all unwary
Come from a ladies' seminary
Freed from its genius tutelary
Three little maids from school
Three little maids from school

Our Twitter-Fu is Bigger than Their Twitter-Fu

Much bigger.
I’ve seen others make the point I’m about to make, but it bears repeating. Those of us who support gun rights are passionate because we are proud of our freedoms and we really like guns. Apart from the activists, those who support limiting our liberty simply aren’t that passionate. They don’t want guns, so whether guns are legal or illegal has no day-to-day effect on them (I know it has an effect on them in terms of liberty, etc., but most people don’t think about that on a daily basis). While they may not want us to have guns either, it’s hard to get passionate about something that won’t really affect you at all. That’s not to say they wouldn’t support gun bans, but they are unlikely to spend money or time to promote the same. Every NRA member has spent at least $35 to help defend his or her rights. Everyone who reads this blog and the many popular gunblogs cares enough to keep up with gun news from product info to politics.
We care more, and we’re right.

Showtime for Guns
Posted by EdFriedman2, Oct 21 2009, 08:40 PMHere’s a good review of Showtime’s new series “Lock ‘n Load,” which offends anti-gunners by portraying gun owners as relatively normal folks. The truth can be offensive if you believe in lies.
