A hobby is something you find pleasure in doing as part of your pastime. In the matter of firearms, firearm ownership is also protected by the 2nd amendment whether used in a hobby or for self-defense.
A way of life is something that is done that composes your lifestyle. I grew up in western...
I am the same age as you and still have the love of the pastime. The difficulty is the stress and constant vigilance of fighting the gun-grabbers who have exponentially increased their attacks since my youth.
I have other hobbies in my bucket list, e.g., woodworking, photography, antique...
Firearms is a difficult hobby to love. The enemy will always be at the gate and you are under constant stress that a new law will further erode your freedom. But I soldier on because the right to bear arms now exceeds the love of the pastime.
A pro-2nd amendment judge is no guarantee that...
I have the LCRx .38 Spl +P model with the 1.875” barrel. There is less pull required when shooting in SA. If you plan on shooting small game, it allows for better aim/control. It carries well in your pocket and I had no problems with the hammer preventing extraction.
A lot of innovation went...
For What It’s Worth; paranoia strikes deep.
Growing up, I had neighbors that owned guns, some I liked and some I didn’t. However, I never thought that they would go on a killing rampage. Although a few were argumentative, I never questioned their mental stability.
What’s changed? We are...
When you vilify a firearm like the AR-15, the antis/media will do anything conceivable to involve that weapon at the crime. As the facts become known, there is no retraction or apology for the error; the visceral impact has been made.
However, It’s still too early to understand the shotgun’s...
Sadly, I agree with Boom Boom’s assessment.
I designed computer systems in which logic was king. It was I versus the computer and if I did not thoroughly understand the business, it resulted in faulty logic gates. Emotion did not interfere.
I now look at the news media as a pro wrestling...
As a law-abiding firearms owner and member of the NRA, I was pleased to see Tucker Carlson debate a congressional candidate on his sensationalized ads.

Emotion has much more power than facts or logic. Those that use emotion to govern their lives make difficult targets for change. To change their attitude requires peeling away the layers of emotion to the core of their being. It takes tremendous perseverance to replace emotion with reasoning...
I’m not one to enlist in worrisome speculation. Unfortunately, the majority of the ”news” media engages in pure speculation so it is understandable that many begin planning for a future event before the panic sets in. But no one knows the future. And when it does arrive, the reality of your...
Well stated; I agree with your concept.
You can probably think of many hyphenated works in which the adjective is used to define the message being driven. Sailor by itself has no messaging intent; most know what a drunken-sailor is intended to mean. The Left is well aware of this tactic as...
Does UBC = Tracking?
I have read the majority of the comments and the participant’s rationale for their answer to this question. I am someone dismayed at the number of forum members who answered yes but are willing to offer a solution that wrapped in the fabric of registration.
Truth...
The quick reaction of the FL legislative to invoke new gun control laws depicts a deeper fear of their loss of political power than their duty to uphold the 2nd Amendment. When the facts are laid on the table, it is inconceivable that the NRA and law-abiding gun owners are considered the...
My bucket is rusting out and can’t hold water (nor does my bladder). Practicality has long prevented me from buying a gun of my dreams. But when on occasion I did break down, the gun sits in a vault, e.g. Colt Python, and waits for the day that I finally kick the bucket.
Buy what you want...
The current savory ingredients for more gun control: children, middle-class suburbia (predominately white), AR-15 “assault-style” weapons with high capacity magazines, race (if white), background check loopholes, age (if under 21), and the NRA.
The offensive, discarded ingredients are race (if...
I agree, but the Left has a powerful propaganda machine. They allow for lies and distortions and rarely retract/correct the bloviating cast by their biased guests, e.g., 18 school shootings since the beginning of 2018.
Hopefully, once emotions have cleared, we can bring civility to the table...
I agree with your statements. The majority of the Republican Party has finally come to the consensus that results matter more than Trump’s grandstanding. Every successful person I have known has had a big ego; it’s a major factor in providing drive and perseverance. Trump is no politician...
I’m more inclined now to view the firearms discussion as a charade. A scene from Macbeth comes to mine: Trump agrees with Feinstein’s request to throw the AWB into a pending gun control bill. The AWB is nothing other than an unsavory ingredient of the cauldron of the three witches. I can see...
And that could be part of Trump's strategy. He knows it's Congress' job to pass a bill for his signature. He is all over the board so he is difficult to attack. The likely hood of any restrictive bills passing is small. He can win some empathy points but banks on nothing happening. That's...
