A Fudd: One of Life’s Ubiquities

Fudds, Fudds and More Fudds Here we go again. Another has fallen into Fudd Status. The battle against those who persistently seek to extinguish our rights occasionally claims one (or others) who came from that place, claiming to be, “one of us.” We call them, “FUDD’s.” Some in the professional firearms cadre get lost in … Read more

No Firearms Ban Coming? Think Again.

by Rick Olson

“If I could have banned them all – ‘Mr. and Mrs. America turn in your guns’ – I would have!” —California Senator Diane Feinstein, appearing on NBC News’ 60 Minutes, February 5, 1995

When reading the above quote, which time was Senator Feinstein being sincere? When she said this in 1995? Or, when she said recently,

(This legislation) will be carefully focused on the most dangerous guns that have killed so many people over the years while protecting the rights of gun owners…”

“While protecting the rights of gun owners” says Senator Feinstein. Which is it?

Yes! The Anti-gun left in America is speaking out and their talking points go something like this:

What The Heck Is An “Assault Weapon?”

by Rick Olson

“Hoplophobia is a mental disturbance characterized by irrational aversion to weapons, as opposed to justified apprehension about those who may wield them.”—Col. Jeff Cooper.

Colonel Jeff Cooper: USMC, Firearms Instructor, Writer

Gun Grabbers are seeking an, “Assault weapons” ban in knee jerk response to the heinous and dreadful Newtown Massacre. There is little discussion about Adam Lanza or the victims from whom he lawlessly and barbarically snatched life.

Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly likes to refer to these black scary guns as, “Heavy weapons” (and still we have no clear and articulate definition on what heavy weapons are) So exactly what is the anatomy of a black scary gun these gun banners seek to vanquish from our hands?

The term, “Assault Weapon” is a redundancy created to assist an anti-gun pathos. The definition of Assault in its simplest form is, “a physical attack.” A weapon defined in simple terms is, “any device used to injure, defeat, or destroy.”

Marko Kloos: The Gun “Is” Civilization

by Rick Olson

perspective…presently needed…alas, I repost this magnificent piece by Marko Kloos.

Marko Kloos wrote this piece in March of 2007. It is worth sharing over and over. Please enjoy….

“Why The Gun Is Civilization” author, Marko Kloos

Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that’s it.

In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.

Armed Citizen: 1, Criminals and Anti-gun Liberals “0”

by Rick Olson
