I just watched Henke on Rachel Maddow a few minutes ago. Â While I share Jon’s concern about building a broad movement that not only can win, but have a mandate to actually govern, I don’t know if I can really join him in desiring a return to a movement governed by elites. Â Given the interconnectedness … Continue reading “Henke on Rachel Maddow”
Why should we bother trying to reduce the number of mayors in Bloomberg’s group by way of the soapbox or ballot box? Is it just a distraction from other races and issues at the moment? I would argue it’s important and not a distraction because it’s an off year activity with reduced participation so our … Continue reading “Setting Political Sights on Bloomberg’s Anti-Gun Mayors, Part IV”
Bob Barr cuts through the rhetoric about Lautenberg’s civil rights destroying bill that would deny folks on the terror watch list their Second Amendment rights. I’m glad he’s using his MSM soap box to get the truth out there. I suspect even Americans who aren’t gun people would be more than a little disturbed about … Continue reading “Bob Barr Speaks the Truth”
Dave Markowitz has some advice. I have to deal with this sometimes with the Nagant, and I’ve been the victim of shooting other Soviet Bloc ammo I didn’t realize was corrosive, but was. It can rust a rifle pretty quickly if you don’t deal with it. I think it’s good advice. He recognizes that it’s … Continue reading “Cleaning Up After Corrosive Ammo”

Clayton talks about the old days of Burma Shave, a brushless shaving cream. A pox on the Burma Shave house! While I might like Clayton’s Burma Shave-style marketing gun rights idea, I’m in the Kim Du Toit camp when it comes to shaving: Right now, I shave with an old-fashioned bowl of old-fashioned shaving soap, … Continue reading “Burma Shave is for the Birds”
… when you resort to trying bore cleaner and hoppes number 9 to remove dry erase marker from your kegerator. I was finding the center line to drill last night, so I tried to mark center line with dry erase marker. I tested an area with it before I marked, but I wiped it off … Continue reading “You know you’re a gun nut…”
I’ve always heard for shooting corrosive ammo, the best thing to use for cleaning is soap and water. Straightarrow suggested ammonia solutions. Others have suggested Windex. After shooting the AK-74 in Texas, I tried Windex, and had no rust spots on the firearm. A few days ago I tried soapy water, and found the results … Continue reading “Windex Is Better”
You know you’re a gun nut when, for the first time in a few months, you use your oven, not a cook a roast or a turkey, but to heat up some parts from your AK-74 so they’ll dry out after you gave it a nice bath in warm soapy water to wash out all … Continue reading “Uses of Ovens”
