Don't discount a revolver as a defensive firearm
Peter, Bayou Renaissance Man - 14 hours ago
Following on from my post yesterday about our local gun show, I'm struck by how many younger shooters don't seem to think of revolvers as defensive weapons. They've been brought up on a movie and TV diet of "plastic fantastic" high-capacity pistols, that never run out of ammo and always drive the bad guy backward and spin him around a few times before he crumples lifeless to the floor. That's not quite how things work in reality, of course. I think mastery of the double-action revolver is a very important step towards becoming a competent all-round handgun shooter. The long, ...

Remembering John Lennon
Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes - 12 hours ago
Today is the day 40 years ago when John Lennon was shot outside his home in New York City. It is important for me to remember him for several reasons - one being his strong anti-war work and music during the Vietnam war. Another reason is more personal. My son was born just 5 days after Lennon's death and we named him Julian after John's son. So each year since 1980 at this time I tend to recall John with a special fondness. When I published the first-edition of my book in 2005 (2nd edition was 2008) I was struggling to come up with a name for it. Early one morning I had to...

The Pitfalls of Total Freedom
Unknown, The Conservative Socrates - 16 hours ago
The liberal and libertarian anarchists demand “total freedom”—freedom from all legal, moral, and political constraints. But to be free from everything is to be alienated from the national culture and be a nothing, and a man who is a nothing can have no values; he cannot have freedom as a value and he is easily enslaved. Thus the liberal and libertarian ideology of “total freedom” has nothing to do with freedom as a value. Rather, it’s an ideology of total enslavement, or fascism and nihilism. Freedom is of value within the framework of a national culture; if it’s made to transcend th...
