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.

Back in the formerly Great Britain…

They do have vans equipped with all sort of gadgets to see if you have a TV up and running. Then again, Faraday-caging a room shouldn’t be that hard.

The tide turned when they weren’t looking.

Very interesting, especially when you consider the source.

When I started blogging, the numbers given were about a third of all households owning guns, a significant number and yet treated as a miniscule minority.  But ours was and still is a war of attrition which led and still leads to results.

And a friend in Facebook made an interesting comment :

I wonder if actual ownership numbers are rising or folks are just more willing to admit it.
We have known that the reported number is low anyway.
I mean we see record nics check numbers time after time but that can be for a few reasons
I am old school and I figure there are a boatload lot of gun owners who are the same way when it comes to answer polls about guns: “Guns? What Guns? I know nothing. have none.” I may be ready to admit I may have some old flintlock relic left by grandpappy in the cellar, but I still do not trust anybody, especially the old media when they ask me anything. I believe that the numbers reflect a mix of my generation finally admitting gun ownership and a great number of new and younger owners who came about without being stigmatized and threatened about being a gun owner.
Maybe I should answer any future polls with: ” How many guns? More that the Government want me to have and less than I want to have.”

A magnificent vocal work

Forget the movie for a minute or two, close your eyes and simply listen. The way the three individual voices get together and intermingle creating one solid melody and yet they do not lose individuality is just an amazing feat of singing.
