THE FOUR RULES

1. ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED.

2. NEVER POINT YOUR MUZZLE AT SOMETHING YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DESTROY.

3. KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET AND YOU ARE READY TO SHOOT.

4. KNOW YOUR TARGET AND WHAT'S BEYOND.

Winston Churchill said
"A GENTLEMAN, SELDOM, IF EVER, NEEDS A GUN.
BUT WHEN HE DOES, HE NEEDS IT VERY BADLY!"
Si Vis Paceum Para Bellum

Sam Adams, more than beer

“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen”
Samuel Adams

Lincoln on power

"We must prevent these things being done, by either congresses or courts — The people — the people — are the rightful masters of both Congresses, and courts — not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert it —" Abraham Lincoln

Number one with a bullet and other things.

This week started off with the death of our old Dachshund. She was 14 years old. She went in her sleep Sunday night, so I spent a good part of Monday morning digging a grave. She had been blind for a while and the last couple of years she got rather fat. She sat in the chair with me in the afternoons when I took a nap. It's almost like loosing a child.

Yesterday, we made a trip to the hospital so Naomi could have a scoping so the doctor could plan her surgery. He saw the damage to her colon and it's looking like she'll have surgery in a couple of weeks. We made a deal, since she'll be in the hospital for a week that we would both quit smoking. It's about time, I've only been doing that for over 40 years.

I had to turn off the radio in the car last night at work. The only two things anyone could find to talk about was the Confederate flag and the fact that President Obama said the word nigger on some podcast. They never said much about the Senate pass the TPP deal, giving the President even more power. Priorities I guess.

Here are the rankings of gun ownership and murder rates. Bill Whittle does a great job.
