Positive and Negative Rights

Also posted on Bandoleered Bookworm and SteemIt.com SteemIt Is what we want always a lack of something? I've been looking for the word that succinctly and accurately represents what we are looking for in the "liberty movement." Of late, "libertarian" has fit the bill, because "liberal" has been tainted by back-biting power-hungry abusers. "Freedom" leads back to "freeneck." Unfortunately, a "freeneck" is a guy lacking a yoke. "Liberty" instantly - for me - brings to mind "at liberty," as in a sailor solider that has been  allowed  to have a day off from his contracted servitude. There is a good, basic foundation for "liberty," especially after the United States revolutionary civil war, but it is still tainted by being  let loose  from something. What's the right word?

Sub $300 Gun

Also posted on the Bandoleered Bookworm blog Michael Bane had said on his  Down Range Radio Podcast episode #619  that SCCY had found a niche - the sub-$300 gun (presumably 9mm).

And according to Bane, we are talking about MSRP -  I think. To start with, SCCY offers their  CPX-1  at $284 and  CPX-2  at $269.99. The CPX-2 deletes the manual safety. credit: SCCY.com To my amazement, Taurus now offers NO sub-$300 guns in 9mm. They used to - but no more. Ruger comes in at $299 with the  EC9s,  a decontented economy LC9s with machined instead of adjustable/replaceable sites and only one magazine. credit: Ruger.com Smith & Wesson offers nothing? So where are the big boys with th

Democrat Gun-Control Nuts

Also posted on Bandoleered Bookworm The crop of Democratic presidential candidates that are jockeying for also-ran positions seem to be quite obsessed with virtue signalling their gun-control stances. Cory Booker just released his gun-control wish list, and it just begs for a response. Once again, the lunatic demands for control on the federal (central government) level might just lead to nullification on all levels. What do you think?

Decepticons

Weapons, Man

Image
credit: IMDb.com This blog is not the rantings of weapons experts. This is an enthusiasts' blog. Hopefully, there will be some useful information about weapons, rights, and fun. So first, a little fun portraying what this blog is NOT with the help of a movie portrayal of a truly foolish "weapons man" opportunist by Sean Bean in "Ronin (1998):" And Sean Bean's character proves that the weapon doesn't make the man: On a positive note, the next post will be a bit more positive. Let's say "a bit of raspberry jam" up there.
