Olympia Bound
Anyone planning to attend the gun rights rally in their State Capitol tomorrow? I heard about it on the Hickok45 youtube channel, which I recommend if you enjoy watching shooting and common-sense talk about guns from an old retired duffer. … Continue reading
Unredacted
A stereotypically angry black man is making headlines at the moment. I don’t wish to give him any publicity, and won’t. Nevertheless, it’s fascinating to see how the media, including some internet sites I’m surprised about, have censored portions of … Continue reading
BATFE Import Permit? For a Stock?

Sorry that our journalistic ethics are non-existent
And it led to your home being burglarized. But not really, evil gun owner.

A Republican who lost my support
Hello. My name is Erik, although I comment here under the name “Mollbot.” I used to have my own blog (What Hath I Wrought?), but abandoned it years ago. Phil more than once over the years mentioned to me the … Continue reading
