Get It While You Can
Americans are used to a condition of abundance. Not Marxist “abundance,” which prophesizes a world in which everything is so copiously available that there’s no need for prices and commerce. Rather, Americans are used to free-market abundance: a condition in which the availability of goods at affordable prices can be relied upon, because there …

Self Destructive
One of the tidbits of knowledge that I’ve gained recently is that Israel, for all you see their Soldiers walking around with guns at the beach, or at a pizza joint, has severe gun control throughout the country. That actually made me stop and scratch my head. A country of millions, surrounded by BILLIONS of …

Why Now?
Robert Royal’s column of today, “Psychopaths In Power,” makes several useful observations: The great psychologist and social commentator Jordan Peterson recently found exactly the right few words for our predicament: Psychopaths are in power. Others have said as much. He added, however, that the psychopaths have been utterly brilliant in using terms like …

Chiming in
Given the various lawless areas all seem to have quite a few connecting issues, here’s another link in the logic chain. The issue wasn’t gun laws, it was race. “The study found that in areas with higher black populations, mass shootings are likelier to occur compared to communities with higher white populations,” CNN reported. “The …

Rights For Me But Not For Thee
Anti-gun activists in Tennessee have been harassing legislators and Second Amendment supporters. That’s part of the Left’s playbook, of course…but have a gawk at this little tidbit: On May 16, 2023, WTN 99.7 FM’s Brian Wilson delved into the revelations from a secretly recorded training session held by gun control advocates in preparation …

New York And Weapons Law
A few days ago, owing to an unfortunate incident that occurred here at the Fortress recently, I visited a local firearms emporium for the first time in some years. In the process I learned a few things of which I “should” have been aware some time ago. New York state is highly unfriendly …

An Eye-Opening Graphic
I stole this from Ragin’ Dave at Peace or Freedom: Says a lot, doesn’t it? But there’s a larger tale to tell, and tell it I shall. Have you ever heard the term “Saturday-night special?” I’d bet most of our Gentle Readers have. It’s a derogatory phrase that refers to inexpensive handguns. …

From The Land Of Fruits And Nuts
California Democrats have an odd definition of the state’s power to tax: California Democrats are looking to push legislation that would tax the state’s wealthiest residents, even if they’ve moved to a different state. The bill was introduced last week by progressive Democrat Alex Lee, which is looking to impose an extra …

Statist In A Cleft Stick Dept.
Men of good will should celebrate every event that compels the evil-minded to show their true colors. This is nowhere more important than when an individual right is under threat. An episode of this kind occurred just yesterday in upstate New York: That’s all the specific information I have on this incident. The …

The Obfuscation Game
The Left has adopted a new tack in its campaign against the right to keep and bear arms. A recent article in The Atlantic, a left-inclined publication, contended that the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States is a “mystery” whose meaning is uncertain. While the article refers to several considerations (some …

Politics Uber Alles!
Pournelle’s Iron Law of Bureaucracy states: First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration. …

An Early Morning Thought
What the statistics tell us, quite clearly, is that when it comes to rates of violent crimes and crimes against property, demographics matters, while the legal availability of firearms does not. Where there are large numbers of persons predisposed to ignore the laws, the laws – including laws about firearms acquisition – are more …
