Politics
Politicians are hypocrites? You don’t say…
Gee.
They say you can’t have a gun.
But yet, these politicians all have guns.
Ah. Chicago politicians. That explains it.
Raging Against Self Defense – A Psychiatrist Examines the Anti-Gun Mentality
From JPFO, an article by Sarah Thompson, M.D. examining the anti-gun mentality.
This is not some “anti-gunners are morans [sic]” piece. This is a serious, rational examination by a psychiatrist into how people come to hold anti-gun mentalities. From the use of defense mechanisms, like projection and denial, to how rage factors into the equation. Ms. Thompson also provides techniques for improved communication between those for and against guns.
Well-written piece worthy of being read by those on both sides of the issue.
Comparing Political Philosophies
An article by David Bergland comparing (modern) Liberal, (modern) Conservative, and Libertarian viewpoints on various topics.
The article grants it makes general statements, but it strives to provide a fair summary of how each viewpoint views these topics.
Join the TSRA
If you’re a gun owner, gun enthusiast, hunter, sportsman, or someone that cares about preserving the rights that our country and the State of Texas was founded upon, you should become a member of the Texas State Rifle Association.
Yes it’s also important to be a member of the National Rifle Association, but they mainly work on a national level. Many of the laws that affect firearm use and ownership are state laws, and the TSRA is the big important voice here. Thankful that we have concealed carry in Texas? Thank the TSRA for their efforts. In addition to legislative activities, TSRA also promotes things like local hunting opportunities, youth programs including Boy Scouts and 4-H, and women’s programs. There’s a lot more involved in keeping our freedoms than just legislative activities — it’s getting out in the field and participating in events and being a member of our community.
If you enjoy your freedoms, do something to help preserve them. Join the TSRA today.
Disclosure: I am a Life Member of the TSRA and Life Member of the NRA. I wrote the above purely on my own volition.
Joe Huffman on Open Carry
Joe Huffman has written quite a piece about open carry as a political statement.
I think he provides good insight into the matter.
An Interview with KR Training’s Karl Rehn
Karl Rehn, the “KR” of KR Training, is my primary firearms instructor and an all-around swell guy. I find via Linoge an interview with Karl regarding the Ft. Hood shootings. Worth a read.
It’s so good….
…. it’s criminal (potentially)
A Damn Good Question
In light of the Foot Hood shootings, many people are asking this question.
Of all the places you’d expect someone to be armed, wouldn’t it be a military base? We trust them with massive amounts of weaponry when they’re overseas doing their jobs, so why can’t we trust them here?
On a side note, the officer that stopped the killer did exactly what has to be done these days: direct and immediate confrontation. Still, 3 minutes went by, many people died and many more wounded. How might things have been different if these soldiers were able to do what they’re trained to do?
On Voting
“I’d vote for them, if they had a chance of winning.”
I never understood that sentiment.
You know what? If you vote for them, they will have a chance of winning!
Ever notice that people only vote for a “possible winner” but then all we ever get in office is a Certified Loser?
