The firearms of the American Colonial militia, pre-1776 :: 07/01/2017
Today when we think of the modern and mighty US military safeguarding these United States, it may be hard to imagine that close to 250 years ago a very different looking armed force protected a country in a very different place.

Moreover, they were usually at war.

What Hollywood Doesn't Get About Gun Owners -- This Isn't Even Political :: 06/29/2017
Variety panned the film “War for the Planet of the Apes,” out July 14, as being anti-human, by saying it reduces “the human characters to crass two-dimensional stereotypes” and by detailing how this film gives up the pretense of a plot for special effects (mostly this means we get to see profound emotions expressed on the ape’s faces).

But I never imagined something like this: on Sunday, New York County District Attorney Cy Vance made the absurd statement, “this bill is supported, I’m sure, by ISIS.”
