Crazy Angels, Nobody Here But Us Mushrooms, Obama - The Greatest Gun Salesman Since John Browning, Jim Higginbotham on Shooting One-Handed, My Carry Guns

The battleground: Michael Bane correctly defined it as “the Battleground.” The quisling fraud, John Rosenthal, founder of the astroturf American Hunters and Shooters Association (AHSA) posted the follow manifesto on anti-civil right Huffington Post:.

The Obama administration’s job application requires applicants to disclose whether they or their family members are gun owners:

Permits to carry concealed handguns in Boulder County spiked to a five-year high last month, amid a national rush to buy firearms in the days leading up to the presidential election.

So I challenge each gun owner reading this. Take an Obama supporter to the range. Teach them to shoot. Teach them about the second amendment. Take away the political left’s power to destroy our rights through the ambivalence of others. If we fail, our enslavement is inevitable.

In my job I’m at war with death. Collateral damage is inevitable. Sometimes in the midst of it I wonder why I fight at all. I do my part, but amidst the smoking losses, innocents gone, I have realized, reluctantly, that sometimes another’s life is not ours to save. Sometimes we have to let it slip quietly over the vale. And walk away.

This tragic incident is what is called an “accident.” It is legally recognized as a class of event that is different from volitional crime, negligence or even depraved indifference. It is one of the heartbreaking manifestations of chaos which occur from time to time to visit grief and suffering on humankind. It is also of the same order of event that took the life of an 8-year-old boy at the Westfield Sportsman’s Club in Westfield, MA. The boy lost control of an Uzi he was firing and shot himself. (I wouldn’t have allowed him to shoot the gun, and I question the judgment of the adults involved, but that is a different issue.) It was an accident, and both incidents have approximately the same level of probability – extremely low. We will probably all live out the rest of our lifetimes without either of these events repeating themselves.

Montana gunsmith Dan Cooper has been ousted as chief executive of the rifle company that bears his name after pressure from gun owners who are angry that he is supporting Democrat Barack Obama.

The Chief Executive of Cooper Firearms of Montana, Dan Cooper, likes Obama’s general policies so much that he’s redistributed $3,300 to the Obama presidential campaign. Thanks to Downright Dusty via Days of our Trailers for the heads up. I was happy to inform them via their website that in the future I will redistribute MY wealth to a couple of those Illinois firearms manufacturers.

I was at a match recently and one of the shooters was a long-time friend and a recently retired Army Lieutenant Colonel. We got to talking about the election. He said, “You know, if Obama is elected, you’ll go on the ‘known terrorist’ list.” “Yes, I know,” I answered, about half seriously.
