  1. I’ve said it before in a similar debate – The best weapon for home defense is the one you are most comfortable bringing to bear in a timely and accurate way, and not, in fact, the one the gov’t says it is comfortable with you using.

    If people would just acknowledge that this could all be over soon…..for now.

  2. Bill Clinton said it well: “Do you have any idea how many vital decisions are being made everyday by people who have no idea in the living daylights what they are talking about?” It’s rare that a state actor tasked with a mission makes it so blatantly obvious that he doesn’t know even the basics of the material or the relevant laws. (Ralph, I’ll save you the trouble: “No, it’s not that rare…”)

  3. The country’s in the very best of hands. Smug ignorance, the face of an entire political class.

    Not sure how Alinskyesque this was, though, being accurate. Truth was not his strong suit.

  4. I’d recommend covering the basics using a long gun – it’s harder to mess up muzzle discipline to a dangerous degree, especially if you get them shooting from the prone. It’s also much easier to get those encouraging bullseyes, all else being equal, than standing or sitting with a handgun.

  5. And don’t start ’em too young. “Too young” differs from kid to kid. Some youngsters are ready at five, some at ten, some are barely ready when they enter basic training.

    The best training gun for a young kid is IMO a .22, bolt action, single shot rifle, like the Henry Mini Bolt youth rifle. It shoots everything from shorts to long rifle and weighs 3 1/4 pounds. Even a really young child can operate it safely and hit what they’re aiming at. For $260 list, it’s affordable and looks good, too.

  6. My first target was a Cherry Coke can. I remember being really proud that I shot the can right through the “O” in Coke. On purpose of course. 😉

  7. Ugh had something similar… Had to write something about a 1920s event or figure and Calvin Coolidge was an option, and I wrote a glowing review of his presidency and also included info about why he was called Silent Cal, and got an F.

    Teacher knew I was a Russian immigrant and put, “Why would you support someone from a political party that wanted to nuke you?”

  8. Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach. Those who can’t teach become classroom Nazis. And there are tens of thousands of them, trying to indoctrinate young minds.

    The psychology of bad teachers is the same as the psychology of bad cops. It’s the exploitation of situational power; little people becoming big by being bullies.
