  • Really? A Prop Gun Killed someone on a Movie Set?

    Red Flag warning! Blue Bloods Gun Safety Amateur Hour! David Codrea highlights an incident on the set of Tom Selleck’s television show “Blue Bloods” wherein Mr Selleck chastises a bit player for “waving a real gun around with his finger on the trigger”. In news reports NRA Director Tom Selleck is cast heroically for his response to the extra’s faux pas. Aside from the well established notion it is bad juju to publicly humiliate “the little people” the larger point should not be ignored as well: if you have joined a ship of fools about to wreck in the shoals...

    If you don’t agree with the parasites’ preposterous policies, they want only to control you. Like lockdowns, mask mandates, and physical distancing requirements, stimulus bills are passed to provide a (false) sense of security. Question the parasites’ efficacy or legitimacy, and they’ll be happy to watch you drop dead, as hydroxychloroquine and zinc attest. The parasites either can’t imagine a government that’s voluntarily funded or they know that their particular pet program won’t be at the top of donors’ lists. Capital accumulation and investment are the only paths to wealth creation, but to add insult to the injury of paying...

    My father-in-law had about 50 acres of farmland in central Italy, just south of the tri-region borders of Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio. Until the 1990s it was common for just about any Italian with land to at least have a private vineyard for their own consumption. I mean, it is Italy, and we are talking about wine, right? I have fond memories of helping him make his wine with his old wine press in autumn. He learned that they were paying a very hefty tax on the portion of land that the vineyard was on. As he researched this, he...

    A PROPHET HATH NO HONOR IN HIS OWN COUNTRY OR HIS OWN TIME. It is unlikely you will hear the name Aaron Zelman or JPFO (Jews For the Preservation Of Firearms Ownership) mentioned in end of year obituary reels, but those familiar with his body of work for the Right To Keep and Bear Arms know a giant has passed from our ranks. Mr. Zelman delighted to “shake his fist” in the tyrant’s face in ways few others would dare or conceive. He was a catalyst in the finest sense of the word. Read More…

    As I advised John Richardson over at No Lawyers, Only Guns and Money, (CLICK LINK HERE)I have been reliably informed the key to high volume readership of a gun blog is—Cookie Recipes. Thus, for my New Year’s Resolution, I am determined to sprinkle more selections from the Culinary Arts and other Branches of Domestic Economy into this blog after the fashion of David Codrea’s THIS DAY IN HISTORY. My contributions will be entitled THIS DAY IN GASTRONOME. Sadly, as I perused my copy of Housekeeping In Old Virginia, (Copyright 1879) I realized in 1879 very few Housekeepers focused their attention...

    As reported by Grass Roots North Carolina, Johnston County in North Carolina has undertaken to regulate the discharge of any projectile “within 600 feet of a dwelling”. Those of you who have ever tried to find a place to plink an Air Rifle or practice with a compound bow or crossbow will understand the draconian nature of these “discharge weapons within city limits” ordinances. Those of you who have yet to run afoul of these ordinances may welcome a short explanation. Read More…

    The Right, All Along: The Rise, Fall & Future of Conservatism For those of you who may have missed it Brit Hume assembled a six part documentary review of Conservative History over the past half century on Fox News. You can not tell the players without a scorecard and few documentaries have more clearly identified the players in the Conservative Movement than this series. If you want to understand battles won and lost since 1950 this series is a must watch. For the first time in my memory Conservatism is presented in a clear, well articulated, understandable fashion.

It required much thoughtful editing. It will be entertaining and educational, while at the same time irrepressibly drab and awful.

To wit: Americans have been figuratively groped and raped by Government for decades. Remember the pop culture question: “Do you see the glass half empty or half full?” It is a first order trick question of the type Government Bureaucrats love to ask. Read More…

    If you like the IRS you will love the new Food Safety Act Regulations whose passage will apparently break land speed records in the Lame Duck session of Congress. Here at JohnJacobH Blog and Commissary we heard of our first food raid nearly two years ago. Yup. SWAT team, guns drawn, the works. Really. The criminals- a couple of women in their 20′s and some children who ranged in age from infancy to teenager were terrorized at gunpoint for several hours while officials packed up a YEAR’S supply of food and hauled it off to parts unknown.

    Coming from Taurus in 2011 is their latest addition to the Judge line-up of firearms, the Tactical Operator Judge. This is previously unpublished info that you’re seeing here at Gun Nuts first. The Tactical Operator Judge will include from the factory the accessories you see at the left; a Viridian laser module, fiber optic front sight, and an Aimpoint Micro. The top strap of the revolver will have an integral rail system to mount the Aimpoint, or you’d like to upgrade to an ACOG that will be supported as well.

    Normally I would be the first to join any effort to “shake my fist in the tyrant’s face” but two recent incidents of spontaneous Pledge Of Allegiance outbreaks at League Of Women’s Voters Debates gave me pause. The Pledge Of Allegiance is one of those spooky weird artifacts of Americana that require close examination by any patriot, Three Percenter or Oathkeeper before they join or support mindless recitatives at various public functions.
