No one thought to hand them burlap bags and tell them to bring back some snipe?

The Founders, with Muskets, Could Have Never Conceived of Such Guns!

The first known repeating firearms date back to between 1490 and 1530, with guns that fired 10 consecutive rounds. A 1580 gun could fire 16 shots. Once the user pressed the trigger, these guns would continue to fire until the ammunition was exhausted. [More]
What excellent work David Kopel has done here! It sure puts my poor effort to shame, and I don't mind that one bit.

Magical Misery Tour Redux

The man who bought the VA legislature to ban guns will be here on Thursday, Feb 13 2020, at 300 South Elm Street Greensboro, NC 27401. Our Protest event will take place from 8:15 am - 10:30 am on the sidewalk. We need EVERYONE we can muster to protest his nanny-statism.   [More]
It's always nice when the grassroots can mobilize quickly enough to rival or even outnumber paid Astroturf events planned in secret to prevent that from happening.

Hidden Assets

Timber Vaults asked if I wanted to try out one of their concealment mirrors which they'd send in exchange for a link. I don't do ads here and pretty much confine WoG as a place to promote my articles, along with shorter blog posts in between to keep readers coming back. If I eat, it's because enough of you are visiting my article sites to make it worth their while to keep me around.

Plus I'm not a hardware guy. The "animating contest of freedom" is what  I keep buying tickets for.

And besides, my experience is it wouldn't pay off for them in terms of ROI.  That said, I like the idea behind their products and they seem nice enough, so with the caveat that you now know as much about them as I do, here's where you can find out more.

Minority Report

"TOTAL RACIST": Controversy Erupts Over Viral Clip Of Mike Bloomberg Extolling Virtues Of 'Throwing Minority Kids Against Wall' [More]
I may do an article on this because there's something else totally racist he said that the media is intentionally keeping quiet about.

Back to the Drawing Board

Parents or guardians would have been required to sign the letter and send it back to school. Board of Aldermen President Lewis Reed and the group Everytown for Gun Safety proposed the policy. [More]
"Required"? Everything they do involves forcing people to obey them.

The South will Rise Again!

AN ACT TO AUTHORIZE THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI TO ENTER INTO AN INTERSTATE COMPACT WITH SOUTHERN STATES FOR THE PURPOSE OF OPERATING AS SECOND AMENDMENT SANCTUARY STATES... [More]
It's a good first step, but they're kind'a light on core purpose...

The Impossible Dream

The FISC was created to protect a citizen's constitutional rights while permitting intelligence community surveillance of legitimate suspects. To protect necessary cloak-and-dagger secrets, the FISC meets in secret. A secret court in a free society requires two things: (1) legitimate existential threats to citizens and assets: (2) trust in security agency professionalism and integrity, and trust in the judgment of the court judges. [More]
That and unicorns.

Thank goodness this has nothing to do with that "single issue." Just ask the Saviors.

Threat Management

Student Spends 83 Days in Jail, Faces Terrorism Charges, 20 Years in Prison for Posting Photo of AR-15 to Snapchat [More]
Other outlets are reporting this, too.

I'd like to see the criminal complaint. If reports are essentially complete and correct, there are some people involved who need to be exposed and pay dearly for what they've done.

If any thugs want to treat that as a threat, it is...

We're the Only Ones High-Living Enough

In the past decade, no fewer than 11 of South Carolina’s 46 counties have seen their sheriffs accused of breaking laws — nearly one in four. [More]
This story is almost a year old-- I don't have the time but I am curious how many of those 11 are still "on the job."

Banking on Disarmament

There’s a slight problem for the left, however; banks aren’t allowed to discriminate against legal industries. [More]

Congressional Candidate Jim Simpson the Right Choice for Maryland Gun Owners

I’ve known Jim for many years through our mutual support of each others’ writing. The area where he is without peer is in exposing the cultural terraforming that will fundamentally transform the Founder’s Republic into a globalist hodgepodge where rights are what the government tells you they are. His “The Red/Green Axis” is the definitive guide to documenting the way foundations are exploiting a manufactured “refugee crisis” to reshape America into an alien nation, that is, to effectively erase it.

Finally, a candidate who understands the single greatest threat to continued legal recognition of RKBA...
