Semi-retired like Vito Corleone before the heart attack. Consiglieri to J.Kb and AWA. I lived in a Gun Control Paradise: It sucked and got people killed. I do believe that Freedom scares the political elites.

Brits shocked about Americans not using Egg Cups

The abominable revelation made Metro UK and has the Cousins up in a tizzy. Apparently this is an incredible breach of culinary etiquette from us Colonials and they will probably seek the UN to impose sanctions on us for that and for making sweet tea out of bags, in fact for making any tea from bags.

Bu do we really give a damn about proper serving rules from people who sell deep-fried fish and fries wrapped in newspapers?

Fake News on a Fake Gun Control March

The formerly famous (and now subsidiary of Everytown) Brady Campaign posted a link in his Facebook page.

Now, let us not forget that this march was to be in massive response to Dana Loesch’s “fist of justice” video and how the poor saps felt threatened by it. The link leads to an article about the women’s march now expanding the reasons why they were marching (apparently nobody was giving the Loesch video the “OMG” factor they wanted.

And of course they need a compelling photo to show the depth of the commitment the women had for this march. Unfortunately the photo used to “give context” is actually from a march in Minneapolis about a month before.

Of course they are not saying that the photo is from the Women’s March, they are not saying anything. They are just assuming (quite correctly in many cases) that you will make the association of that crowd being attached with this event and thus butching up the numbers in the heads of people.

This is like the photo of pretty people who comes with the frames you buy at stores. The Opposition just decided that the fake images make for better display than the truth and used them accordingly.

One photo summarizing the failure of the #NRA2DOJ March

The faces are just perfect. “Who was the moron who decided to have a 17 mile march in the middle of the effing D.C. summer?”

Maybe that is the reason that they went from the announced ‘thousands” of protesters to hundreds of them (some say barely over 2) who were encased in a dark t-shirt with the sun beating down on them. Even the armed bodyguards seen in the photo do not look happy.

True grassroots activism is hard. Keeping it alive is harder. Keeping true grassroots activism alive for decades? Welcome to the Gun Culture.

Goodbye dear Friend.

Just found out that Linda L. a dear lady and shooting friend has passed. The South Florida shooting community and specially IDPA lost a great person today. She was one of my wife’s instructors and she was a calming and humorous influence at IDPA Matches.

To her family, please know that we have her and all of you in our prayers.
