Don't let the title fool you, I'm not actually going to talk about psychology. In fact, I am in no way qualified to even act like I can. But, bear with me now, I think I might have a point to make.
I am afraid of flying. If you know me, ...

Like a lot of people who participate in blogging about firearms and the attempts to control them, I subscribe to Google alerts for the word "gun". Normally I would ignore something from the ridiculous website GunGuys.com but the tiny little blurb in the email intrigued me. I will not directly ...

Basically every gun blog that I've wandered across today has linked this story. Of course it contains heaping amounts of today's fabulous gun catch phrases. Be prepared such eye catching words as "assault rifle" and "spray". I'd keep going but I don't want to ruin all of your fun. As ...

I don't know why I bothered, but I followed a Google alert to the Gun Guys site. After a bit of poking around, I happened onto this article.

I was just reading Stan's entry over at the Free Constitution blog. I recommend you take the time to check it out.

Oh look, I found more fearmongering! They love using that phrase "wild west" don't they?
Here's hoping the campuses remain weapon-free. The tragedy at Virginia Tech was an awful demonstration of what can happen when one deranged student picks up a weapon. The potential for another such tragedy doesn't need ...

First, let's point at what I'm referring to: This blog.
I did love the use of "crack kingpin", "dangerous drug lords", and "Lugers". Honorable mention goes to quoting gun names used by rapper 50 Cent. If I were an anti-gunner, I'd use rappers as my source of gun info. Come to ...

I read a quote today that claimed a person could purchase a gun quicker than they could buy a gallon of milk at a grocery store. I chuckled when I read this. Why? Because I just went through the joy of purchasing a handgun in the state of Michigan. Let's ...
