I Was Wrong About The Elections, But Here Are Five Picks for New Gun Owners

Image
Well I couldn't have been more wrong about the election results. I predicted an unprecedented blue wave and what we got was an unprecedented red one. Of course, I am tickled to death that we are going to see fascism in the United States as I have been a proponent of American fascism on my Twitter and Facebook for some time. I could write a whole article on American fascism but I view it basically as a return to the Constitution as it existed at the time of the founding but with a few important tweeks: (a) a guarantee of a few additional human rights so that the worst impulses of fascism can be checked; (b) citizenship by blood rather than by land; and (c) a guarantee of one-party rule by the right. Of course, despite what people on the Internet think, we will not get this under President Trump. We will get four years of conservative leadership, there will be another election, and Trump will be flown back to Mar-a-lago for his retirement. Then a new president will be sworn in after ...

The Annual Pre-SHOT Show Wishlist - 2025 Edition

As the time comes for this years SHOT Show I am making my list of some things I would like to see from the industry for the 2025 SHOT Show as well as a few things I think they need to get away from. We had a great victory in the 2024 election and it would be a great time for the gun industry to capitalize. Things That I Would Like To See At SHOT Show 1. A 416 Barrett Option for the M107A1 I know this is a niche request as there are not many people like me who have the mighty Barrett M107A1. The 50 BMG round is awesome but the simple truth is that the 416 Barrett is better for long range shooting. That is why Barrett released their MRAD ELR in 416 Barrett instead of 50 BMG. I would love to have a 416 Barrett upper receiver for my M107A1. Since it will not need a brake that is nearly as extreme as a 50 BMG, how about you give it a 32" - 35" barrel? It would be heavy but would generate some crazy velocity and let us see just how 416 stacks up in a semi auto platform for ex...

A New Years Eve of Training

Image
This weekend we went to our private training facility to put in some much needed trigger time. As the cost of ammunition continues to rise, some select students got a Christmas present from their coach: a Taurus TX-22 pistol. This is a full size 22 LR pistol with a 16 round magazine. What's great about it? It has the same feel as a similarly sized 9mm pistol which makes it an excellent tool for training on a budget. So, the gentlemen of Texas Marksmen purchased a few thousand rounds of 22 LR ammo this weekend and went to work. The focus of this weekend's course was turreting and shooting on the move. However, I felt that the increase potential for violence in America - especially from armed leftist terrorist organizations (e.g. Antifa, JBGC, BLM) - needed to be encountered. We talked about the dangers of these organizations and how they tend to travel in packs armed with AR-type weapons. A pistol versus and AR (or even worse, multiple ARs) is a particularly bad day - especial...
