Some days are rougher than others at times. Today was one of those days. My youngest daughter had surgery and thank God, it went well. A telephone call from my remaining brother earlier, to inform me that my mother passed away in a hospital, which was expected, and normal.
I will be busy through Saturday. I will try to get some posts done, as best I can. I am still hobbling around with a pinched sciatica nerve, a back cold, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Kindly hold comments. Thank you.

They are GOING, GOING & soon to be GONE!
The AMA just announced that it will make an “unprecedented” push for more gun control laws through resolutions presented at its House of Delegates at its next annual meeting June 9-13. This is not really unprecedented, as the AMA has been advocating anti-gun measures for three decades now, along with many co-conspirator specialty associations. But it is a way for it to jump on the current popular bandwagon for restricting guns since some of the teenagers from the Marjorie Stoneman Douglas Valentine’s Day shootings have become media celebrities.

David Hogg on MSNBC
By: Peter Gunn
Leave it to the Progressive left to hoist an unaccomplished high school student up as their “golden calf”, their messiah, their Anointed One to deliver civilian disarmament where nearly 50 years of lies and deceit have failed.
Despite the fawning and sycophancy, David Hogg is nothing special. His only claim to fame is he was present at a tragedy. “Survivor”: is a bit hyperbolic. In defense against the accusations he was not at school the day of the shooting, a teacher came forward and stated that she pulled him into a classroom for his safety. Ok, fine he was in the building. He did not witness the shooting, nor was he under fire. Was it a sad and frightening experience for him? No doubt, but that hardly qualifies him as a “survivor” The word was deliberately chosen by his minders to…

(CNSNews.com) – Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has released a statement calling on the United Nations to “seriously” pursue seven “human rights” cases in the United States. One of these is what Khamenei perceives as the need for gun control.
If you haven’t read the FBI’s recently released report entitled “Active Shooter Incidents in the United States in 2016 and 2017,” and you care about gun rights, you should do so. This opening line from a story on nationalreview.com sums it up well: “After reading the FBI’s latest report on active-shooter incidents in the United States, two things are increasingly clear. First, the United States has a growing problem with actual or attempted spree killers. And second, armed and alert citizens can be part of the solution.” First let’s get this out of the way: The FBI defends an “active shooter” as “one or more individuals actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a populated area.”

Since I initially purchased the Ruger LCR in 9mm I have been on a quest (obsession?) to determine why the recoil on a higher pressure round (9mm) seemed lighter than the .38 Special Ruger LCR I own. I have tried changing the grips to match but that had almost no impact on the amount of felt recoil and the 9mm still won the light recoil crown between these two (almost) identical revolvers.
So, this time out I was able to not only match the grips (both factory tamer grips) but also the ammunition. On a recent shopping trip I found some reasonably matched ammunition to use.
For the .38 Special I picked up a box of CCI Blazer Brass ammunition. This is loaded with125 Grain bullets that, according to the manufacturer’s specs, are launched at 865 Feet Per Second and carrying 208 ft/lbs of energy. For the 9mm load I…

Today all across this great land we call America, we pause to remember those who have fallen. We give thanks for their final sacrifice, for their love of country, and we say prayers for them, for their families, for the country they serve. We fly flags to honor their service, to observe our own dedication to America. But, being the ever optimistic Americans we are, we have turned this day formerly known as Decoration Day into a nation wide party, a celebration of patriotism, family, summer’s promise, and just any old other thing we choose it to be.

Though it is tougher and tougher to say that with all of the left-wing fake news, and “win at all cost” mentality that the left wants to employ.

When an official announced they would not play the Star Spangled Banner before the Clovis-Buchanan softball game Friday – twice! – well, you may as well have let Kim Jong Un throw out the first pitch dressed in nothing but an Iron Curtain.

U.K. right-wing activist and journalist Tommy Robinson was arrested and reportedly jailed Friday after he filmed members of an alleged child grooming gang entering a court for trial — but the details of his purported sentence remain murky after the judge ordered the press not to report on the case.
Robinson, the former head of the English Defense League and a longtime activist against Islam and Islamic migration, was arrested after he was filming men accused of being part of a gang that groomed children. Britain has been rocked by a series of child sex scandals perpetuated by gangs of predominantly Muslim men.
Video shows Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Lennon, being surrounded by as many as seven police officers as he livestreamed the incident on his phone. The police informed him he was being arrested for “breach of the peace.”

Just 20 weeks into 2018, we’ve already had 22 school shootings in the United States where someone was hurt or killed, per a recent CNN column by Saeed Ahmed and Christina Walker. Averaging over 1 per week is simply incomprehensible.
The column had a U.S. map inserted identifying the locations of the shootings by bullet points. The graphic eerily reminded me of a “firing range shot grouping” surrounding the Tri-State area. The column and graphic can be viewed at: https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/02/us/school-shootings-2018-list-trnd/index.html.
Gun control advocates are dangerously off-base with their notions of taking weapons out of the hands of law-abiding citizens. When you restrict guns from properly vetted, trained, law abiding citizens, you broaden the window of opportunity for a criminal who will not abide by the law.

The other says “NO!! Are you crazy?” The first guy replies “Hey, a hundred dollars is a hundred dollars… I’m gonna do it.”
So he walks in to the church, and little while later, he walks back out. The friend says “well, did you get the money?” He replies “Oh that’s all you people think about, isn’t it?”

There has been an assumption that the right to bear arms is a God-given right. Lately several people have asserted that there is no such right. Is this a tenable position for one in the Judeo-Christian tradition? Obviously, for one who does not believe in God there can be no God-given rights. For those outside the Judeo-Christian tradition I cannot presume to speak. But for those within the Judeo-Christian tradition there are some considerations which, I believe, lead us to the position that God has, indeed, given us the right to own firearms.

As a parent and concerned armed citizen, this is what needs to happen nationwide from here on out concerning school security.
Each state take OWNERSHIP of the problem and then each school in that State come up with a specific physical security plan along with frequent reminders of monitoring students online activity and general behavior in school. We need to keep the Federal Government out of it, and the only way to do that is for each state’s Governor to step up and take charge of the problem.

A lot of people don’t like the idea of school resource officers. They argue that a police officer right there inside the school sends the wrong message. They feel that it also helps feed the school to prison pipeline for whatever reason. For these folks, schools just aren’t a good place for police officers.
But no one seems to mind them when a school resource officer puts an abrupt end to a potential mass shooting.

I am not sure why a majority of people forget that when the Second Amendment was ratified in 1791 the word “arms” actually included edged/bladed weapons.

True, I have gone many seasons without firing a shot at a deer because I felt the animal was not of optimum size or age, and needed a chance. I have also taken some spectacular shots and they panned out. I have stalked and placed my hand on many deer, and then refused to harm them. One fawn had tangled itself in a section of broken fence wire, and with greatest of care and some “deer whispering”, was able to untangle the animal, while rubbing the leg, and it walked about ten feet, turned, and looked at me, before walking away. I generally feel more like a farmer than a hunter. Then the quirks come into play, and I collect berries and fruits, for some strange reason, all during the hunt. To be a hunter, many talents, over the course of a lifetime, comes into play. My city relatives of whom I come from, refuse to visit during holidays because gamefare is on the table, and they are squeamish about eating “wild” animals. They know of my life and the time I worked in a slaughterhouse for one year. Be it meat, fish or poultry, hunting, as well as fishing, bonds us to a tradition and becomes our American heritage. Hunters understand the warmth of an open fire.
The concept of Gun Culture 2.0 suggests that hunting and traditional target shooting have become less central to gun culture over time. But gun culture itself may have also become more pluralized. Hunting, in this view, is still a vibrant part of gun culture but it is more of a niche market than the primary driver (which is self-defense, according to GC2.0).
As I have not written much about hunting, I am glad that one of my students, Natalie Wilson, did her Sociology of Guns seminar paper this year on hunting culture (the assignment can be found on the course syllabus). The text of that paper is reproduced below, with her permission.

Some valid points however, there is a need to question on 2A, which the politicians sidestep, but bellow how they support and uphold the constitution. Further, all the politicians are dangerous, because they will shift onus of liability, of their words, and of their explicit stance. Politicians talk, but armed citizens, stop the politicians’ bullshit.

Good Critique on an Extreme Close Quarter Scenario.
This is Why is is so Important to ALWAYS be Armed folks, a firearm is the great EQUALIZER, regardless if you are an 80 year old man or an off-duty Military Policewoman.
Although there are some significant things that could have been DONE better, at the end of the say the Bad Guy is Dead and all those Mothers and Children are Safe.
Stay Alert, Stay Armed and Stay Dangerous!
During yet another sleepless night I had an amazing idea for a new revolver cartridge. Make 9mm (9×19) ammunition with a slight variation, use a rimmed case. Being as this round would use the same load and bullets as a standard 9mm (just with a slightly different case) they should be relatively cheap to manufacture and tool up to produce. This could translate into less expensive and less bulky ammunition for revolver shooters. Since the bullets and loads would be the same revolver shooters could take advantage of the constant improvements in 9mm self-defense ammunition. The smaller case would mean shorter cylinders allowing for smaller, more concealable firearms or slightly longer barrels in the same sized firearm. It would remove the need for moon clips.
Perfect solution!
I mean after all it was done previously for .45 ACP with the .45 Auto Rim.
9mm Federal Rimmed
Actually, it has already…
