"Kurt Schlichter, a Los Angeles trial attorney, recently-retired U.S. Army Infantry colonel, and all-around smart guy, has recently penned a nuanced and subtle response to those timid souls who claim that law-abiding American citizens shouldn’t be able to own the sort of firearms they desire."
"Nah, I’m totally kidding you."
"Kurt doesn’t do subtle.""American gun owners are beginning to respond with a fresh, powerful argument when facing anti-gun liberals. Here it is, in its entirety. Ready?"
"'Screw you.' That’s it. Except the first word isn’t 'Screw.'"
"It’s not exactly a traditional argument, but it’s certainly appropriate here. The fact is that there is no point in arguing with liberal gun-control ..." ... |

The Adler lever-action ban in Australia just got serious as Prime Minister Tony Abbott has now decided to personally intervene and ban the firearms completely pending completion of a review of the NFA. ... Amidst the backlash from firearms owners and running out of concocted reasons and emotive rhetoric based arguments as to why law-abiding firearms owners are responsible for the actions of criminals, and that 128-year-old technology has now suddenly become a national security threat, Justice Minister Michael Keenan stressed 'that the decision to suspend imports was not about targeting law-abiding gun owners but reflected the heightened terrorist threat in Australia.' . . ." ... |

"I am invoking the name of the late great Jeff Cooper to shed light on the media fiasco that is the mainstream media’s coverage of the dentist who shot the apparently beloved lion Cecil. Since the The People of the Gun often cite Cooper’s four rules of gun safety (he also coined the term hoplophobe). I am using an appeal to authority for those who consider themselves people of the gun, but would throw the dentist in question under the bus. Jeff Cooper was an avid hunter and made many trips to Africa including hunting lions. There is a collection of the colonel’s commentaries on the internet and they are instructive in this situation . . ." ... |

"The Guardian story alluded to a letter sent by anti-gun Sen. Richard Blumenthal and a dozen of his colleagues – all Democrats but not including either of Washington’s two U.S. senators – asking the gun industry to 'stop selling guns to people who do not first definitively pass a background check.'

Give me a good old fashioned carbureted engine with a set of magnetos and I’m a happy lad — you can keep your fancy fuel injection to yourself.
