I Have Been Lazy Lately
I have a few guns to review as soon as I can get back to the range. A Ruger LC9s, S&W M&P9 (and M&P9c), and Taurus 66ss6 are on the list.
Sooo... I hope to have some original content up by the weekend.

Trump Is Not The Monster That The Left Would Have You Believe
Donald Trump isn't my first choice for the Republican Party, but he's our nominee and will get all of my support during this election. I don't think that he'll be a great President, but I have no doubt that he'll be far better than Hillary.
I've heard a lot of people say, "You don't know what Trump will do." That's true. He's changed his mind on a lot of issues again and again over the years (and even sometimes during this election cycle).
I do, however, know what Hillary will do and I know what she will put on the Supreme Court. That makes rolling the dice for a Trump White House a no brainer.
So we don't know what to expect from Donald Trump if he wins in November? Fair enough.
Let's look at what Trump won't do:
He will not travel the globe bowing to dictators and Communists.
He will not send White House representatives to the funerals of every dead criminal killed by police officers.
He will not leave Americans to die without support in foreign hell holes (Benghazi comes to mind).
He will not flood our country with unvetted Muslim refugees from nations that largely hate the West, Christianity, and America.
He will not call everyone that disagrees with him a racist.
He will not invite Al Sharpton to the White House over 72 times (as our current POTUS has).
He will not direct his Justice Department to wage war against Christian businesses, and little old nuns.
He will not take money from Saudi Arabia while deciding on weapons sales to that nation.
He will not take money from Russia while deciding on the approval of Russian companies mining uranium in the US.
He will not hold up the Keystone Pipeline.
He will not stack the Supreme Court with Liberal justices.
He will not penalize the oil and coal industries thus driving up the price of energy, while decreasing employment.
He will not pretend that flooding our nation with unskilled refugees that cannot speak English is a recipe for success.
He will not blame a firearm for a terrorist attack.
He will not blame the NRA for terrorist attacks.
He will be able to call the terrorists what they are without worrying about their race, or religion first.
He will not lecture America about how peaceful Islam really is every time jihadis kill a few dozen innocent men, women, and children.
He will not lecture Christians about the Crusades after jihadis burn a man alive.
He will not turn a memorial service for slain police officers into an apology-fest and recruiting drive for BLM.
He will not worry more about a deserter than he does about our veterans.
He will not lecture America about the evils of global warming after taking dozens of vacations all over the globe.
He will not lecture Americans about not needing firearms while surrounding himself and his family with a army of Secret Service Agents, Capital Police Officers, and Marines.
He will not put America's interests behind those of the rest of the world.
He will not let the VA continue in the disgraceful manner in which it has behaved under the Dems.
He will not defend and offer an unethical defense of someone that raped a 12 year old child.
This list can go on and on. Let me know if you can think of any of the disgraceful and/or illegal acts that we've seen from Obama and Hillary that you know will not be repeated by Trump. I'll edit them in.
Donald Trump has a lot of flaws. I don't do the fan-boy thing, and am sickened by the Hopeychangey Mesiah beliefs that so many Barack Obama supporters endlessly babble. I'll never show cult like devotion to a politician, and don't get a thrill running up my leg from hearing one speak. None of that is necessary.
I'm pretty easy to please. I just want someone to vote for that is competent, intelligent, and actually has a little patriotism (for a change). I'd like for them to surround themselves with cabinet members and advisors that don't need a waiver in order to get a security clearance. I want someone that puts America first. Believing in the Constitution is a huge plus, but just about anyone can beat the average Democrat in that regard.
Trump doesn't check every box that I want in a candidate, but he easily surpasses Hillary Clinton.
I believe that he is a decent (if sometimes a bit coarse) man overall, and has a lot of love for this nation. I would suspect that his wife will not need her husband to win the Presidency in order to feel pride in this country.
That goes a long way after the last 7 1/2 years.
Let's look at what Trump has done. He's worked with both Democrats and Republicans for decades, and could count on support from both sides up until this election. He has been both honest and successful enough in the business world that people will invest millions of their own dollars in his businesses. His name is respected enough that people will pay him to endorse their projects.
Can you imagine anyone ever going into a business venture with Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama in 2016?
Someone much smarter than myself once said that the measure of a person is how they behave when no one is watching. Most of you have never heard of the actions listed below. Donald Trump didn't need a press corps, 5 photographers, and a press secretary to document his actions when providing help to others.
If only the same could be said for the walking skid mark that currently occupies the White House, or Hillary Clinton. Some of you may be Obama or Clinton fans. My question is this. Can you imagine either one of them visiting a VA hospital without a film crew present, or giving a dollar to a cause that didn't shill for the Democratic Party?

The 11 Types Of Anti Gunners
This post will have an ongoing edit as I get time to work on it, and run across more gun ban supporters. While most of us know a few antis, we don't usually think about the different breeds in this very diverse group. I'll start this off with a few of our more common foes, and add more later. Add a comment if I've missed your favorite.
The Hypocrite
I don't need to spend a lot of time on this one. It's obvious who they are. They're the politicians that are surrounded by their own private security forces, but feel that the little people should be disarmed. Our President comes to mind. Former politicians such as Bloomberg also fall into this category.
Firearm owning Hollywood types that favor gun bans make the list. Many of them have made a fortune off of movies about guns and violence. Somehow they feel that it's someone else's fault when a madman dresses up like one of their characters, and shoots up a room full of people. The Hypocrite will blame the gun manufacturers, NRA, gun owners, etc. The fact that the Hypocrites have contributed to a culture of violence, and often glorified murder escapes them.
Yes... I'm talking about you in the rap music community.
Many, if not most, of the Democrat's wealthy elite are Hypocrites.
This list can go on and on. All of us can name a few dozen anti gun Hypocrites.
The Fudd
This is generally a gun owning gentleman who's taste in firearms runs toward blued steel and walnut. He favors the more classic looking hunting rifles and shotguns. Polymer is not for him. If he owns a handgun then it's a revolver, or perhaps a M1911. The Fudd has owned guns his entire adult life, and strongly supports the 2nd Amendment... if your guns look like his.
This gentleman (and it is usually a male) is also OK with banning magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Self defense statistics regarding stopping power and hit/miss ratios are not on his reading list.
He'll throw you under the bus in a heartbeat if you have one of those evil looking Black Rifles, or an AK. He doesn't know much about either weapon, but he knows that no one needs more than 5 rounds to kill a deer.
The Fudd is the anti gunners greatest friend, whether he knows it or not. A huge number of "Pro gun" politicians are FUDDs.
The Fraidy Cat
This man or woman has an irrational fear of firearms. He/she is scared to be around them, and may throw a full on hissy fit or tantrum after being exposed to a gun.
Most of us have a healthy respect for firearms but realize that a rifle, pistol, or shotgun is just a tool that should be handled with care. They don't operate themselves.
The Fraidy Cat has no problem hurtling down the highway at 70mph while eating a Big Mac, and talking on a cell phone. The FC is even fine with having electrical outlets near the tub, and a light fixture over the shower stall. Firearms, however, are some form of terrifying mechanical boogeyman.
The Fraidy Cat is very selective in picking his/her fears, and often enjoys making a scene.
The Professional Gun Banner
This individual makes a decent living advocating more gun laws, and bans. The PGB will usually own a firearm or two, and the odds are great that at least one will be on the proposed ban list.
The Professional Gun Banner knows that most of his/her proposals are useless, but nonetheless remains committed to the cause and their paycheck. The PGB and The Hypocrite have a lot in common. The PGB, however, is more like a paid professional Hypocrite.
The MSM Viewer
This person is generally uninformed about the firearms debate. He/she can recite whatever gibberish, or talking points that they heard on the TV last night. They cannot form an opinion on their own, and are easily led by their favorite celebrities, or television personalities (I have a hard time using the word "Journalist" in regards to most of those currently reading the news on cable television).
The Mainstream Media Viewer can only deal with the most simplistic explanation, and doesn't consider anything other than the propaganda that they're fed. Any source other than MSNBC (or perhaps CNN) is considered to be biased, and untrustworthy. God help you if you refute one of their beliefs with statistics.
Their information and theories occasionally come from sources other than the mainstream media, if that source will help to re enforce their opinions and world view. Comedy shows are sometimes used in lieu of the media for information.
When you hear an anti gunner quoting Chris Rock's skit about making bullets $5,000 each then you know you're dealing with a MSM Viewer. The same can be said for the individual that constantly talks about your gun being a "Weapon of war."
The Big City Mayor
This anti gunner is known to many of us. For the purpose of saving time and space, I'll include the city council and other local politicians with The Big City Mayor.
The BCM often manages a crime ridden cesspool of a city. Chicago comes to mind. The city usually has a culture of crime, corruption, violence, poverty, and excuse making at all levels.
It may or may not already have gun bans in place. Regardless of existing laws, crime rates will be high, and The Big City Mayor will place the blame on the gun industry, 2nd Amendment supporters, and gun owners. The inhabitants and those running the city refuse to share in the blame for their murder rates.
So why blame outside forces for an internal problem? The most common reason is that politicians wish to keep their jobs. If they told the truth, and urged their residents to act like responsible citizens, these politicians would be quickly voted out of office.
Another common reason is fiscal mismanagement. These broken, mismanaged cities are often on the verge of bankruptcy. The possibility of suing a gun manufacturer for millions of dollars is very tempting.
Obviously there is some over lap between The Big City Mayor and The Hypocrite.
The Cultist
Believe it or not, the Cultist is often a gun owner. They believe so deeply in a government official that he/she is willing to support more gun control, or sit idly by while new bans are being implemented. This person innocently believes anything that their leader does is right, just, and for the good of the nation. Obviously their ruler is above the politics and pettiness that other politicians suffer from.
Devotion is what gets the Cultist through the day. Their faith is strong, and they can often be heard quoting some inane statement that their leader said in the past. This group has grown greatly during the age of Obama.
Cultists tend to ignore the news, or self censor the information that they consume. A Cultist often becomes angry when others doubt in their leader's honesty, or divine inspiration. They may actually become violent if those they support are disparaged in any way. Should facts, statistics, and history be presented in an opposing viewpoint, the Cultist is likely to fly into a rage.
They're usually irrational, and generally not that intelligent. Be very wary when dealing with this kind of anti gunner.
DO NOT DEBATE THIS PERSON AT WORK. These people have HR on speed dial, and everything that you have told a Cultist has been processed through their personal filters. Statistics become sexism, history becomes racism, and facts are a personal attack upon this individual. At the end of the day, they won't know what you said but they will know what they heard.
The Holier Than Thou
Other than The Cultist, The Holier Than Thou is probably the anti gunner that most of us deal with on a daily basis.
How best to sum up this person? They have a great deal of Fraidy Cat in them, and there's quite a bit of MSNBC Viewer present too. Odds are good that you'll find at least a smidgen of The Cultist present in their personality as well.
The Holier Than Thou anti gunner doesn't see a need for private ownership of firearms for self defense. They are, however, fine with calling someone else with a gun to protect them. It's not so much that they are anti gun. They're strongly anti self reliance, and personal responsibility. These individuals don't want the responsibility of protecting themselves, or their families. It's the job of the government, police department, etc.
You'll often hear them talk about giving up firearms, "For the children." They're very proud of that. Of course they're only willing to give up rights that they aren't using. The Holier Than Thou is a strong believer in giving up someone else's rights for the greater good. Would you like an example of this?
Ask them to give up their internet privacy, smart phones, or home computer to help stamp out child pornography and they'll scream. Make a small change to an abortion law and the cries will deafen you. They'll apparently only go so far, "For the children."
What is really amusing is the THTT that keeps a baseball bat for home defense. Apparently he/she feels much more pious bashing in an intruder's head with a bat than shooting them with a Glock.
The Parasite
This individual may have been an asset to their community back in the day. They are currently looking out for No.1, and are more interested in keeping an extremely comfortable lifestyle instead of actually helping their people or cause.
The Parasite makes a very good living screaming racism, sexism, etc. loudly, and often. Whether or not it's applicable is not an issue.
So who is The Parasite. It's the feminist (often politician, news woman, etc) that believes a woman's best defense against a rapist isn't a pistol. It's peeing on herself, or perhaps vomiting.
It's also the "Civil Rights Activist" that believes in disarming his own people, and leaving them defenseless. Watch the news in NYC, DC, Chicago, Detroit, Philly, Richmond, etc. You'll see a lot of people like this.
His/her community may reside in drug and crime ridden inner cities. Crushing poverty is a likely cause of most of their ills, and culture is largely to blame for this poverty. This anti gunner could walk the streets of Chicago organizing neighborhood watches, urging kids to stay in school, urging babies to stop making babies, telling parents to act like parents.
Instead, The Parasite finds it more convenient to whisper those suggestions one day per month while loudly blaming others for the other twenty nine.
Everything is always someone else's fault. There's good money to be made in making excuses, and blaming others. If the job is done well enough then there may even be an invitation to the White House.
Whatever form The Parasite takes, there are a few universal traits. This individual isn't really concerned with helping his/her people, neighborhood, city, etc. They are most interested in making a paycheck off of the suffering in their community, and helping themselves. If they somehow happen to do a little good along the way then that's a bonus, but it's not the most important thing to this person. Another payday is what matters.
The Victim
I have some sympathy for this anti gunner despite their desire to limit or take away my 2nd Amendment rights. That doesn't mean that I won't oppose them whenever possible.
This anti gun advocate was the victim of a crime, and it's very likely that a gun was used by the mugger, rapist, home invader, etc. Instead of rationally focusing their anger at the trash in their community, they transfer their rage to an inanimate object... the gun.
It's hard to reason with The Victim. They're operating on emotions instead of logic. They've experienced a crime, and when faced with the choice of becoming more self reliant or supporting meaningless gun laws... they decided to take the path on the left. Odds are greatly against them ever joining our ranks.
The Grieving Family Member
Some of the descriptions above were a little snarky, mean, or even humorous. That won't be the case with this final category.
The Grieving Family Member is just that, someone that has lost a loved one. There's nothing amusing here, and these people have my deepest sympathy. I disagree with their politics in regards to firearms, but understand why they believe what they believe.
The GFM has experienced a loss, and suffers from crushing grief. They may never recover from the loss of a loved one, and want to punish someone... anyone. The criminal/s are likely already dead. Cho, Lanza, Mateen, etc. come to mind.
Someone must pay. If it can't be the actual killer then it must be the object that he used. The family's anger is now aimed at anything related to the gun industry.
They don't care about logic, facts, statistics, or history. You may out debate them, but you won't be able to reason with them. The Grieving Family Member just wants a new law. It doesn't have to be effective. They just want it.
The GFM may find themselves being used by other anti gunners such as The Big City Mayor or The Professional Gun Banner. These poor people are experts on grief, not guns.
The Hypocrite
I don't need to spend a lot of time on this one. It's obvious who they are. They're the politicians that are surrounded by their own private security forces, but feel that the little people should be disarmed. Our President comes to mind. Former politicians such as Bloomberg also fall into this category.
Firearm owning Hollywood types that favor gun bans make the list. Many of them have made a fortune off of movies about guns and violence. Somehow they feel that it's someone else's fault when a madman dresses up like one of their characters, and shoots up a room full of people. The Hypocrite will blame the gun manufacturers, NRA, gun owners, etc. The fact that the Hypocrites have contributed to a culture of violence, and often glorified murder escapes them.

Everything is always someone else's fault. There's good money to be made in making excuses, and blaming others. If the job is done well enough then there may even be an invitation to the White House.
Whatever form The Parasite takes, there are a few universal traits. This individual isn't really concerned with helping his/her people, neighborhood, city, etc. They are most interested in making a paycheck off of the suffering in their community, and helping themselves. If they somehow happen to do a little good along the way then that's a bonus, but it's not the most important thing to this person. Another payday is what matters.
The Victim
I have some sympathy for this anti gunner despite their desire to limit or take away my 2nd Amendment rights. That doesn't mean that I won't oppose them whenever possible.
This anti gun advocate was the victim of a crime, and it's very likely that a gun was used by the mugger, rapist, home invader, etc. Instead of rationally focusing their anger at the trash in their community, they transfer their rage to an inanimate object... the gun.
It's hard to reason with The Victim. They're operating on emotions instead of logic. They've experienced a crime, and when faced with the choice of becoming more self reliant or supporting meaningless gun laws... they decided to take the path on the left. Odds are greatly against them ever joining our ranks.
The Grieving Family Member
Some of the descriptions above were a little snarky, mean, or even humorous. That won't be the case with this final category.
The Grieving Family Member is just that, someone that has lost a loved one. There's nothing amusing here, and these people have my deepest sympathy. I disagree with their politics in regards to firearms, but understand why they believe what they believe.
The GFM has experienced a loss, and suffers from crushing grief. They may never recover from the loss of a loved one, and want to punish someone... anyone. The criminal/s are likely already dead. Cho, Lanza, Mateen, etc. come to mind.
Someone must pay. If it can't be the actual killer then it must be the object that he used. The family's anger is now aimed at anything related to the gun industry.
They don't care about logic, facts, statistics, or history. You may out debate them, but you won't be able to reason with them. The Grieving Family Member just wants a new law. It doesn't have to be effective. They just want it.
The GFM may find themselves being used by other anti gunners such as The Big City Mayor or The Professional Gun Banner. These poor people are experts on grief, not guns.
