It's just a dress.

I Don't Think So

[Matthew] McConaughey asked his friends who are gun owners to “take one for the team” by giving up their “assault weapons.”

I don't think so. We've been taking one for the team every time a worthless politician pushes a gun control law local, state, or federal AND it is never enough. It's always the next step down the slippery slope. Not just NO, Hell NO.

This is a Happy Ending

Woman shot man who was trying to rob her in downtown Raleigh, police say

A guy violently accosts and attempts to rob a woman in Raleigh, North Carolina, and gets shot in the chest for his trouble. He survived and is in police custody. This what I call a happy ending.

Hornady Tells State of New York to Pound Sand

Hornady stands up to State of New York

Today, the State of New York did one of the most despicable acts ever perpetrated by any state by asking New York banks, financial institutions and insurance companies to stop doing business with the gun and ammo industry.

While it may not make a difference to New York, Hornady will not knowingly allow our ammunition to be sold to the State of NY or any NY agencies. Their actions are a blatant and disgusting abuse of office and we won’t be associated with a government that acts like that. They should be ashamed.

-Steve Hornady, president of Hornady Manufacturing Company

Hopefully other ammunition manufacturers will follow suit. Also just because the State makes the request doesn't mean New York banks, financial institutions and insurance companies have to follow its demands. Be interesting to see what happens. Local law enforcement may have to restict themselves to harsh language rather than harsh language rather than firearms.

Definition of a Zombie

I may have posted this clip before, but I was scrolling through Tom Kratman's Facebook page some kind fan posted it in response to this response by Kratman to a question on Quora.The actual question doesn't matter though it's fun to read all of his responses.

Similarly, with the SJWs. They, themselves, are pretty contemptible, spoiled sons and daughters and not-quite-sures and maybes. One gets no sense of real seriousness from them; they seem to be amateur playwrights writing fantasy plays in their heads for themselves to star in, in which fantasy plays the rest of us are reduced to the status of morally insignificant stage props. IOW, they’re no danger, in themselves.
However, from the point of view of the hard right…and, increasingly, even the more moderate right, frankly…there could be no better set of tools for swinging the country right.
And, yes, that means the moderate left - your left - ought to be seriously worried about that because, among other reasons, when righties talk guns and zombies, “zombies” is just code - that’s the only code word they ever use - for liberals, and the guns are to kill same.

Zombie=Liberal...mmmmmmm. Okay.

This page was pencilled by John McCrea of Hitman fame and inked by James Hodgkins who I am unfamiliar with. It's from the title Spiderman Get Kraven. I like McCrea's work and the price was right.

The seller didn't identify the artist or the book it came from but the signature is Steve Pugh's or appears to be close enough for government work. Here again, the price was right and it's a nice piece. Splash page with man reclined with semi-auto in hand with girl. My kinda page. If, by chance someone knows the comic this came from, let me know. Thanks.

The Usual Suspects claim the AR-15 is rarely used as a defensive weapon

AR-15 Used To Repel Home Invasion, 30 Rounds Fired

The three home invaders claimed to be sheriff's deputies and kicked in the front door. One of the bad guys fired his weapon. Two of the residents responded with an AR-15 and a handgun striking the three home invaders. The bad guys fell to the floor and the residents retreated to a bedroom and called the police. The good guys were unharmed. the Score for the bad guys was one dead and two wounded. To the Usual Suspects: the AR is a perfect defensive weapon and you lie.

The Demons of Paris, by Eric Flint, Paula Goodlett, Gorg Huff

Honestly, with some of these collaborations I'm not sure how much Eric Flint actual has to do with them. This isn't a 1632 novel but the premise is similar in that a group of modern teenagers and their teacher finds them selves thrown back in time, 14th Century France, and adventures ensue. The twist is the transfer takes place when during the summoning of a demon to assist in the search for a serial murderer. It didn't really grab me. The story is slow paced. It was boring. Thus the question about how much Flint had to do with the actual writing of this book. He 's done better. Heck, his collaborators have done better.

Monster Hunter Memoirs: Saints by Larry Correia and John Ringo

There is nothing boring about this book. Standard Ringo. I traded off sitting on the edge of my seat with laughing my ass off. The plot? Chad saves the world more or less and that's all you need to know before you read it. I don't know that we will get more from Ringo but I can hope. Highly recommended.

Seriously?

A Parkland survivor went to the range with his father and posted on Facebook pictures of him shooting a gun. He returned to school to harassment by the school resource officers.

Then a third officer from the Broward County Sheriff’s Office walked in, and began asking me the same questions again. At that point, I asked whether I could record the interview. They said no. I asked if I had done anything wrong. Again, they answered no. I asked why I was there. One said, “Don’t get snappy with me, do you not remember what happened here a few months ago?”

He seems to be a respectful well behaved young man. I can almost see him biting his tongue to keep from saying "watching my friends die while your co-workers sat on their asses outside." Since he is a respectful well behaved young man, he didn't.
