Where a Redneck Jew, a Hispanic Catholic, and a Computer Geek write about Gun Rights, Self Defense and whatever else we can think about.
It has been three years since I created this blog and posted my first rant.

OK, I can deal with that.
Daniel Johnson, Deputy Executive Editor of Salem-News.com goes and rehashes the old Terrorism meme from the Clinton Administration Era in his “editorial” The NRA — A terrorist organization.
Still, it amazes me that somebody who makes his living off the Liberties recognized in the Bill Of Rights has the chutzpa of writing stuff like this:
It’s long past time for the American people to wake up and realize that their so-called Second Amendment rights have gradually turned the National Rifle Association into a terrorist organization through its adamant refusal to repudiate gun violence using the legal technicality that it’s every American’s Second Amendment right to terrorize his (not often her) fellow citizens.
A technicality? I am sure that Mr. Johnson believes that the Right Of The People as applied in the Second Amendment really means Collective Rights That Can be Suppressed By The Government. But that the Right Of The People as applied in the First Amendment is an unalienable personal right that no Government or individual must even think about touching.
I reckon one day he’ll figure it out, hopefully before it is too late.

His blog entry, as usual is pure genius:
If some monster tries to rape or murder a woman I care about, I don’t want him to see the flickering light of a candle.
I want him to see a muzzle flash, from the front.
Amen!
Pass the taters.
I am running Twenty Eleven and I want to add the following info to the comment section:

I know I have to edit but, WHERE?
Yes, I know that the Zombie Craze can be a bit overwhelming but who cares? Apparently some purists think so and they are starting to sound a bit “Fuddish” to me.
Has the Zombie Craze jumped the Shark? Absolutely!
When a mayor ammunition manufacturer starts offering Zombie-Specific rounds, the Craze not only has jumped the shark but did it with a reverse two-and-a-half somersaults into the pool full of blood and body parts. Again, I see nothing wrong with that.
I see the point that the complainers have. Guns are serious, guns are for (self-defense, hunting, bullseye, etc. Take your pick) and we should be taking it so lightly. Dudes, relax Shooting is also supposed to be fun. “But it is not realistic!” you will hear some action shooters complain to which I respond, “please show me where people have been attacked by a Texas Star.”
What has the Zombie Craze achieved then? It has brought new people into Shooting. For the most part by a friend that already shoots and convinced them that shooting real guns with real bullets in real life beats any XBox game out there. Take a friend to a square target range to shoot bullseyes and he or she will be bored within 20 minutes. Get them safely into a fantasy game of advancing hordes of Zombies and they’ll spend an afternoon of fun…. and come back.
Some of those new shooters migrated to Action Shooting sports. We are not isolated anymore. It takes a small search on Youtube or other video hosting sites to catch a Zombie Shoot video and then a related video of some club hosting a Zombie Match besides their regular action shooting matches. All of the sudden people are exposed to IDPA, IPSC, Cowboy Shooting, Zoot Shooters, etc and think “Whoa! That looks like fun too!”
And last but not least, it makes shooting fun! I am all for training and practicing defensive shooting, but sometimes just shooting for the fun of it is right. Losing yourself in the silliness of a group discussing what caliber is best for Zombies, tactics to avoid The Crush, the need for gas masks if the Zombie attack happens in the summer (all that rotten flesh) is totally absurd and totally fun.
And lastly, you realize that Hollywood Movies notwithstanding, a shotgun is a poor choice to fight zombies: Heavy recoil, low capacity, heavy. Carbine first followed by handgun as back up. Grenades if the numbers are too great and you can herd them into a tight location.
PS: Another Shark Jumping product just released.
Some great snark-ready comments right there:
Heidi HadenoughofWalker Waddell You dummies!!! Candles pay respect for the deaths caused by guns!!!
(So candles are disrespectful of Non-Gun deaths? Shameful Candles!)
Heidi HadenoughofWalker Waddell ….Number of crimes stopped b/c some public citizen had a death weapon on them is extremely low if non existent.
(You do realize that there are other things in the Internet besides the CSGV FB page and Japanese Cat Porn, right? Like News websites? )
Jami Regs Nothing like a bunch of beer guzzling, uneducated hillbillies playing with deadly weapons to prove just how ridiculous the 2nd amendment is.
(Prejudiced much? You know the people in the video are from Idaho, right?)
This one came after the screen capture:
John Donnaruma I noticed that the gun-nuts never mentioned GUN violence, which is common for the anti-gun control people who comment on facebook. They all read from the same script, which makes finding reasonable common ground with others difficult in the fight to prevent gun violence.
(Maybe because if I am killed by a gun or a knife or a rebar it makes no difference? Dead is dead and objects do not commit violence, humans do. But you guys and your animistic quasi-religion keep trying to sell a load of BS to a country that stopped buying your product long ago.)
Jamie Gronko Wow…no offense but to me it looks like none of those people would be able to win a quick draw match against their so-called criminals they’re ‘protecting’ themselves from. But they’re the trained ones…such a pathetic video.
(Quick draw match? Have we been watching way too much TV & Movies? That would explain the comment.)
Oy!
