The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State …
Smallest Minority has a long but also rather good post up with a transcript of part of Jim Zumbo’s interview with Tom Gresham.  I pretty much agree with Kevin’s take on it. As I mentioned yesterday, Zumbo can still make it up to me, because I can forgive ignorance on the political aspect of this … Continue reading “The Not Quite Apology Interview”
Michael Bane asks where we go from here as the new masters of the shooting community.
