I really don't care what you think about the casting.

Thomas’s Navy Cross citation states: “His deadly accuracy accounted for at least one enemy dead and held the aggressors at bay until an Army rescue helicopter landed.” It is assumed Thomas was given credit solely for the VC killed and witnessed at the rescue chopper. When a second Army rescue helicopter landed to retrieve the bodies of the dead co-pilot and gunner, the soldiers noted a plethora of VC dead all around the area. One was as close as three yards from Thomas’s shooting position, and the furthest was 150 yards. It was clear to those on the scene that...

Post some pictures. Do you have any actually using your toys? Also some rambling advice.

Let's see the pics. I'm adding something. I know a lot of people just need a couple words of advice so here goes. I'm going to number them and I hope everyone does the same.

I was going to have another topic today but since Palin is McCain's running mate, I thought we would be too busy discussing that.

As promised, movie guns and I might as well add television firearms. From Quigley, Down Under to Romeo and Juliet[!]. Who had the most recognizable firearm in the media? Who bought a gun just because it was in a movie? Which gun outshined the stars?

Since we posted some great looking firearms, I thought it would be fun to post some of the ugliest guns in history. That's my opinion, of course. Post some of the ones you think just didn't make the grade in the looks department.

This is one of the first installments from Free Republic's Gun Club. It's going to be a daily discussion on subjects covering firearms, Gun Rights and overall firearms experiences. Some years ago, Friday seemed to be the time to post photos of our favorite toys. I volunteered to make it a weekly occurance. One of the things I did learn through the years, though. It's not the gun. It's just a tool in the hands of the person who makes it happen. That rusty and pitted .38 revolver may not look like much but to the owner, it may have...

A storied former prosecutor scrutinizes one of the most debated crimes in American history The murder of President John F. Kennedy has provoked by far more suspicion, argument, obsession, and especially book-publishing than any similar event in American history. Now famed lawyer and true-crime writer Vincent Bugliosi has produced what he hopes will be the book to exceed all others. "Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy" may do that, in weight (5.3 pounds) as well as content, but it's clear that if his editor hadn't insisted he turn over the manuscript after 21 years of labor, the...

I received a letter from a reader a while back complaining that the various columnists who write for Shotgun News never have anything bad to say about George Bush. I confess--while I have written a few columns that have criticized some of President Bush's actions, you won't find a lot of columns by me attacking him. This isn't because I am 100% happy with him--but because of that phrase at the top of the column--one that I am sure that you have seen before. Voltaire (a writer of whom I don't generally think very highly) made this observation a couple...

AUSTIN – Nellie Connally, the widow of former Gov. John Connally and the last remaining survivor who was riding in President Kennedy's limousine when he was assassinated, has died, longtime family friend Julian Read said. She was 87.

I happen to notice there was some mention of John Edwards and the Girl Scouts. I'm not sure what started that discussion but it made me think about the Scouts. Now I know the dems hate the conservative cause so much there were reports Boy Scouts were harassed at the dem convention in 2002. We also know that kerry was actually in Viet Nam and mentions it a time or thousand. Yes, both candidates served and Bush even was gratious to say that kerry's service was honorable. So they both served and that issue should have died a long time...

There is no records of who built the serpents wall and when, we only know they were built in ancient times to protect my hometown from nomads tribes and some other wild folks.

Why Did it Have to be ... Guns? by L. Neil Smith lneil@lneilsmith.com Over the past 30 years, I've been paid to write almost two million words, every one of which, sooner or later, came back to the issue of guns and gun-ownership. Naturally, I've thought about the issue a lot, and it has always determined the way I vote. People accuse me of being a single-issue writer, a single- issue thinker, and a single- issue voter, but it isn't true. What I've chosen, in a world where there's never enough time and energy, is to focus on the one...

My name is Elena, I run this site and I don't sell anything in here and to tell the true, I don't have anything to sell. What I do have is my bike and this absolute freedom to ride it wherever curiosity and speed demon take me to.

On Thursday (February 26, 2004), NRA Director Sen. Larry Craig introduced an amendment (Sen. Amendt 2625) that addresses access to "armor piercing" ammunition. He's a co-sponsor of the amendment -- and the sponsor of the bill he's amending, the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.

It appears that "no compromising" can get you in trouble. Perhaps positive results should be the goal.

This is the live feed from the Assembly Floor. I was told it could be an early vote after the Roll Call. It's not listed on the schedule.

Freep the poll. The Concealed Carry Bill is going to pass or fail today at 1:00 in the Senate today. It's important we win this. If we don't, the anti's will use it against us in a couple of hours. http://www.wiba.com/main.html
