April 25, 2026 Steve MacDonald

Here are some helpful lessons or reminders sent by one of our readers on how to engage law enforcement after a self-defense incident. Someone attacked you or your family, or a life was in danger.

MORIN: We Must LEARN from the MONSTROUS Murder of Iryna Zarutska

September 10, 2025 Kimberly Morin

From the Women’s Defense League By now you have probably heard of the monstrous murder of Ukrainian immigrant Iryna Zarutska on a train in Charlotte, North Carolina. We will not post the video here. It is horrific, disturbing, monstrous, and beyond comprehension. We DO, however, need to discuss a few things: Criminals Don’t Follow the … Read more

What kinda set of morons are going to try to take on a pistol-packing momma with “da babe” on her hip?

Lily Tang Williams, Can You Call Canada?

December 6, 2024 Ian Underwood

Canada has declared another 300 models of guns (mostly the scary kind) to be illegal (bringing the total number to more than 2000). The government will ‘buy them back’ (most likely at a small fraction of their actual values). Then that same government will donate the guns to Ukraine. What will they be used for … Read more

Orwellian Libertarianism…

December 3, 2024 David Gordon

Walter Block asks us to consider the following case: Suppose someone is shooting at you. He has two babies strapped in front of his body. He is clearly an aggressor and, of course, you have the legal right to shoot back in self-defense. The moral and ethical considerations as to whether you ought to shoot … Read more

Massachusetts Tries To Bypass Bruen

October 3, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Cape Cod Gun Works owner and chairman of the Civil Rights Coalition, Toby Leary, joins me to discuss H4885, a legislative assault weapon directed at law-abiding gun owners in Massachusetts.

German Court Bans Political Party From Possessing Firearms

August 12, 2024 Steve MacDonald

Stop me if you’ve heard this one. A political party opposed to mass immigration and inflationary economic policy in Germany has been cited as ineligible to possess firearms for illegal and unconstitutional activities. I know which way to go with this one. Are inflation and mass immigration constitutional? They must be. At the same time, … Read more

Woodburning

June 12, 2023 Steve MacDonald

Former Democrat Senator Jeff Woodburn has had himself an odd few years. And not COVID. He was accused and convicted of being a bad boy, admitted to that, but then decided to get the State Supreme Court to overturn what he admitted to doing in pursuit of the truth.

UK Escalates War to End Knife Violence

April 21, 2023 Steve MacDonald

First, London and then the rest of the UK have been on a years-long experiment to end knife violence. And we’ve been making fun of them as criminals deprived of other means have taken to using knives on people their government has disarmed.

2022: New Hampshire is Still the Safest State in the Nation

September 3, 2022 Steve MacDonald

Does anyone get tired of hearing this? The Democrats might. Despite being a Constitutional Carry state, with a series of recent laws favoring the right to self-defense and where you can legally carry, New Hampshire is again being recognized as the safest state in the US.

The Good Guy With A Gun

July 23, 2022 Rick Olson

By now we all know the story of Elisjsha Dicken breaking a trigger to stop a massacre. “Many more people would have died last night if not for a responsible armed citizen,” said Chief James Isom of the Greenwood, Indiana Police. Although, It did not take long for Shannon Watts of Moms Demand Action to get on Twitter and say,

Quick Thought – This Is Correct; They Are Trying to Break Us

July 18, 2022 Skip

From Liberal Logic 101: Progressives, on the other hand, not only wish to crush that spirit but continue the process of forcing a dependency upon Government that started in the early 1900s. They believe they are entitled to Rule. Oh, not them personally (well, many of them) but knowing that the facade would be sufficient … Read more

Survival Sunday

November 15, 2024July 17, 2022 NITZAKHON

Nitzakhon Note: This got very long and IMHO it’s becoming daunting to read in one go. After this one I’m going to, as length demands, start doing two such posts a week when it is called for. The Sunday one will be this full one, and then if necessary I’ll do a hump day one which will be just new articles but will have a linkback to the Sunday one. So, for example, below you will find permanent links to books, etc., while the mid-week one will omit those. Unless people comment they want to keep them in both.

Meme Overflow

July 12, 2022 NITZAKHON

As promised in the last Monday Memes, I have an overflow. My meme cup runneth over. So much over I may do a “late week” memefest “overflow overflow”. 🙂

But we’ll see.

Survival Sunday

July 3, 2022 NITZAKHON

This is a very foreshortened Survival Sunday as I’ve gotten out of the hospital just yesterday. Going in for what I hoped would be a quick turnaround, well, it wasn’t… and like most hospitals stays it was anything but restful. Thus data & link collection were enormously curtailed. Fortunately, I am better but now have … Read more
