Go Nuclear

NRA Applauds Neil Gorsuch's Nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court

That endorsement s good enough for me. The problem now is the Democrats are going to filibuster this and any other nomination. If they ever get the White House back, they'll kill the filibuster for their nominees. They've already said as much. Time for the Republicans to play ball by the same rules. Give the Democrats the opportunity to extend the same courtesy the Republicans extended them on Kagan and Sotomeyer. If they flip the right the bird then...

Fight hard. Fight dirty.

Levon's Trade by Chuck Dixon

LEvon is former spec ops. When his boss' daughter disappears he asked to look into the matter. He does and it goes downhill fro there. Excellent book. Chuck Dixon is known primarily as a writer of comic books. He wrote The Punisher, Winterworld, Batman, and a number of others. Now he is writing novels. This is a good thing. Highly recommended.

Swarm by B. V. Larson

This is the first in Larson's Star Force series. Earth is invaded and it goes downhill from there. I liked it enough that I'll read more of his stuff, of which there is plenty, but not right now. I've just picked up a Chuck Dixon novel. Gotta read that first.

Whether you approve or disapprove of President Trump's 90-day ban on entry into the country of people from seven Muslim countries, the law give him that right.

Seizure of Black Panther Weapons Invites Examination of Second Amendment Convictions

We all have the right to keep and bear arms. The truth that ought to apply equally to all of us is, if we abuse that right, if we threaten or if we cause harm through unjustified force, others have the right to stop us.

As much as I dislike the ideology of these racist a$$holes, I have to support their right to bear arms if I'm gonna be consistent in my beliefs. As long as they don't initiate force against another, they have the same right to keep and bear arms I do. They should sue.

Senate Minority Leader Schumer Tears Up as He Vows to Fight Trump’s Ban

He's never told the truth on gun control. Why should I believe him now?

Current Events

I knew there was a reason I liked that lady

“You’re going to see a change in the way we do business,” Ms. Haley said. “Our goal with the administration is to show value at the U.N., and the way we’ll show value is to show our strength, show our voice, have the backs of our allies and make sure our allies have our back as well.”

“For those who don’t have our back,” she added, “we’re taking names; we will make points to respond to that accordingly.”

Business As Usual for Obama

Obama Issued A Massive Ammunition Ban Just One Day Before He Left Office

No lead ammunition on Federal lands. So the expense of hunting on Federal lands or using public ranges on them shoots up. This is the ban the EPA couldn't legally implement. Gun control from the flank. Business as usual for the Obama Administration. Trump can reverse this easily enough and should.

Wham!

Congress to Review Obama's Social Security Gun Grab

The National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) today scored a victory when Congress agreed to review, and likely revoke, a final rule by the Obama administration that would blindly strip law-abiding Americans of their Second Amendment rights.

“Congress's decision to review the Obama administration's back-door gun grab is a significant step forward in protecting a fundamental constitutional right for law-abiding gun owners,” said Chris W. Cox, executive director, NRA-ILA. "The NRA has been fighting this unconstitutional government overreach since it was first discussed and we look forward to swift congressional action."

That's what I call a good START.

Yep

Personally, I think the MHS contest could have been as satisfactorily resolved by throwing a P320, an M&P, and a Glock 17 into a sack, spinning it around a few times, and reaching in and pulling one out. They all work fine, and if there's a less crucial weapon in modern warfare than the pistol, it probably attaches to bayonet lugs. - Tam
