Tilting At Windmills
I truly believe Thomas Massie has outlived his usefulness in Congress. If he can’t learn to at least take a partial win for gun owners like the Big Beautiful Bill could be, he is a wasted vote, and we can’t afford any wasted votes.
Do Not Trust To Hope
A set of Republican huevos is so hard to imagine, I couldn't even get Grok to draw me a couple of eggs with a GOP logo on them.
With A Capital "E"
Let’s talk about the term “EDC” for a minute.
Round Two
Day 2 of the 2025 NRA Annual Meeting in Atlanta.

It’s a fair point. But if we’re going to accept the assumption that return fire makes it harder to score hits on target…then why would we insist that our schools be as defenseless as a USPSA stage?
Dream On
Wouldn’t it be awesome if we had national constitutional carry? The ability to carry a firearm in all 50 states, no permit required? Of course it would!
My Wallet's Been Stolen!: A Security Parable
Not every crime…even the most heinous…is an Ocean’s Eleven caper or some hexagonal conspiracy. Mostly, it’s just a criminal or nutjob taking advantage of an opportunity.
