The Gunner's Blog

Well, you probably have guessed the reason if you are following the unchecked progress of political correctness. Superheroes use violence and nothing associated with violence is allowed. So THERE! They could have as easily said that the pictures are sexist and objectifying. Or that mentioning Aphrodite and Athena is a religious reference that offends people who are not ancient Greek pagans. Or something. The reason does not greatly matter. "The object of power is power."

I'm trying something new. I will, Drudge style, list headlines and give links to stories I think will interest my readers. Each time I have an '03 clipful or so I will post the list. The dark ages are fast approaching as Western civilization grows tired of truth, of fairness and of God. That's the story between the lines these days.

Pressures of other projects and concerns make me unable to continue posting to this blog for the present. However, the blogroll on the left of the screen will continue to update, keeping you informed of the latest developments in guns and gun politics. Thanks for reading--I hope this is not the end of The Gunner's Blog but a pause is necessary. I am evaluating my career path and religious calling (at the same time), dealing with several problems not of my own making and...dealing with something else of a happier nature. This blog didn't make the cut of "must do." You know how it goes. Sometimes life's a beach, and sometimes it is a tsunami. See ya later. Kendal Black

There are aspects to this video that I find inexplicable, including the left hand placement and contents. My question is, interfering with firefighters is ordinarily a rather hefty offense. Will any prosecution or even investigation happen in this case? I rather suspect not. It isn't like this was anything serious, like refusing to make a wedding cake with little statuettes two men on top of it.

My America, the homeland I honored as the highest expression of freedom's ideals, is no more. Limited government and sweeping individual liberty are things of the past. So is the business environment that sometimes allowed little David companies to become giant killers. We are burdened by taxes, by rules and red tape and the odious creed of political correctness. What happened was that people abandoned God and good as their guiding lights. America has never been a very religious country, but for a long time the cultural influence of Christ's gospel was felt--honored only partially and quite inconsistently, but present none the less and tacitly accepted as a good thing. Now, though, some even openly call the gospel a bad thing. Few ever consider looking to it for moral guidance. This moral end-swap has left us without moral guidance. What we have instead is the desire to impose moralisms, often invented ones, on other people. So the country that started out with people pr...

Story here:  http://metro.co.uk/2015/02/11/russian-spacemen-carried-shotguns-and-axes-into-space-5057966/ Up until 2007, Russian spacemen carried short barreled, three-barrel drilling guns in their survival gear. The shotgun barrels were 12.5mm and the rifle barrel underneath was 5.45x39. The gun's removable shoulder stock contained a machete. Remember that the Rooskies use ground landings for their capsules and this gun starts to make sense. Come down in a remote area and you may need some survival gear beyond a scout knife and a fire starter. A suitable firearm is a fine enhancement to your survival gear just about anywhere, providing meat for the pot as well as protection. The Cosmonaut gun also launched signal flares. What the Russians worked out here is really rather clever. Reports  elsewhere say that the gun is no longer in service because the peculiar shotgun ammunition that it uses is no longer readily available. The crew gun is now just an ordinary automatic pis...

Go here to ask for one:  http://six12.com/#design Manufacturer video via Military.com: The SIX12 is a revolver shotgun system that may be mounted as an under-the-barrel door buster on a rifle, or stocked as a stand-alone shotgun. It has some innovative design features that may lead you to discover further applications for it. I have not shot or even examined one, so I cannot say anything beyond that. I am, though, happy to see development and innovation in shotguns. Lots more about it on the web:  https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#safe=off&q=crye+six12

photo: Wikipedia It's an odd thing. As soon as you commit to a certain caliber or weapon you become keenly aware of its limitations and the fine characteristics of the other choices. If you choose a riot gun over a modern rifle such as an AR-15, you become keenly conscious of the shotgun's range limitations. If you choose the rifle you become aware of its lesser hit probability, at close range where it counts. So it is with other sorts of guns--carry pistols or you name it. Your choice becomes a fence, on the far side of which the grass is greener. I suppose that is why some shooters have lots of guns. This gun does something or other better than that one, and the other one over here is lighter to carry than either of those, and so on. Still, you have to narrow things down at some point. You cannot carry a whole safe full of guns with you, and it is not practical to stock up on ammo in a dozen calibers. What if there are no wrong choices? In terms of likely threats,...
