FIREARMS
& MARKSMANSHIP
Let me just
come right out and say it. I own and use firearms. While I
don’t like to advertise this fact, I have decided not to
hide
it either. These pages will discuss both the recreational and political
aspects
of firearms ownership. Others have already provided more and better
information on these topics than I could ever hope to give, but I can
share my experiences, observations, and opinions as a gun owner who
doesn’t match the usual stereotypes.

Guns & Ammunition Though training has the
greatest bearing on a shooter’s effectiveness in most situations,
firearms enthusiasts still spend an inordinate amount of time
discussing their gear. Selecting the right tool for the right job is
important, but it can also be a lot
of fun.

Thoughts & Ideas The right to arms has often
been denied to the common people by ruling
elites. The advent of firearms helped spread democracy around the
world, but that democratic revolution has come full circle. Now, the
elites are trying to retake with ballots and votes what they lost to
powder and shot.

Information & Links
There is a fantastic amount of
information about firearms
available on the Internet. In fact, it is easily the best source for
this topic, though one must still be careful to separate the rumors and
speculation from the facts and figures. Here is but a small selection
of this bounty. |
