Quote of the Day

The gun is a civilizational technology in the deepest sense: it requires responsibility, judgment, and the willingness to accept the consequences of your decisions. You cannot outsource it. You cannot have a committee fire it. It is the most anti-bureaucratic object ever invented – a direct, personal, consequential instrument that puts the full weight of the decision on the individual holding it. Which is precisely why the administrative state finds it intolerable. Not because it is dangerous. Because it is sovereign.

It is my opinion that once people own a gun and go shooting once a month or so it changes them. They become more independent in many other aspects of their life. They see their relationship with the government in a different light.

Take a new shooter to the range. Get them started down a healtiher path.
