Why Do You Need an Assault Rifle?
This is a question that has been asked a lot since the Sandy Hook school shooting, and I have a simple, common sense answer to share with you today. First though, let’s be clear. The guns that are being talked about, like the Bushmaster AR-15 allegedly used in the Connecticut school shooting, are NOT assault […]
NRA: Don’t Sell Us Out
[framed_box bgColor=”#FFFCCF” rounded=”true”] Update 12/21/2012: The NRA stood firm! [/framed_box] Yesterday the NRA-ILA broke their silence on Sandy Hook Elementary shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, saying the following (emphasis added): [blockquote]The National Rifle Association of America is made up of four million moms and dads, sons and daughters – and we were shocked, saddened and heartbroken […]
Academy and AR-15s
The news today in the world of firearms was pretty grim. Here’s a short recap. Dick’s Sporting Goods pulled AR-15s off their shelves. Walmart pulled AR-15s off their shelves. Cheaper Than Dirt stopped selling firearms altogether, and sprinkled some price gouging on top. So what about Academy? I’ve bought guns from them in the past, […]
Cheaper Than Dirt Gives in to Anti-Gun Lobby
Online firearms and accessories retailer Cheaper Than Dirt announced today on Facebook that they are selling us out and suspending online sales of firearms effective immediately. Another example of the culture war that we are losing. This one particularly stings, because I have in the past ordered from Cheaper Than Dirt. Those days, however, and […]
The Culture War Against Guns
It was no surprise that following the recent tragic school shooting in Connecticut, the government immediately starting blaming guns. The first victims hadn’t even been buried yet, and Dianne Feinstein was already talking about renewing the so-called “Assault Weapons” Ban. This is nothing new. Democrats have always been openly for more gun control (when they dared), […]

Besides, who doesn’t like free stuff? GORUCK Tac Hat The GORUCK Tac […]
Feinstein To Introduce Assault Weapons Ban
This shouldn’t surprise anyone, but the wonderful Dianne Feinstein, Democrat (shocking) from California (where else?) will introduce a renewed Assault Weapons Ban on the first day of Congress. Really if you didn’t see this one coming you need to wake up. The big question now is, will the Republicans vote for it? Video

Last Thursday, we launched the Fife 50 Project iPhone Case Giveaway. I was going to select a winner yesterday, but then this happened, so I thought it best to hold off until today. Random.org has spoken, and we have a winner. If this is your name, please check your email. Since it’s the weekend, I […]
Connecticut Elementary Shooting
Another school shooting happened today, this time at an elementary school in Newton, Connecticut. My heart absolutely breaks for those kids, the teachers, their families, and the community. Such a senseless tragedy that no one should have to face, let alone a child. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected. We will learn […]
