Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

High Noon

Today, firearm-appreciators rally around the country to counter the gun-grabbing hysteria: Nationwide High Noon Rallies to Oppose Obama's Gun Grab.


Readers know my views. I am in favor of grabbing the firearms of violent criminals and loonies. Start with the violent crims in gun-controlled Chicago, please. Bill Bratton knew how to do that in NYC.


Law-abiding people ought to have all the firearms they desire. Lethal hammers and knives, too. They do not need a reason. This is America.


Did you know this, via Schneiderman:



The irony is that over the last 30 years, the U.S. homicide rate has declined by 50 percent. Gun murders as well. We’re living not through an epidemic of gun violence but through a historic decline.



For the convenience of readers, I collected two posters which you anti-gun nuts might wish to enlarge and display to advertise your virtue, if you have any cojones:




Here's an alternative yard sign for those who believe that evil exists, but know they are probably not it:

Went to the range today and it was packed-shoulder to shoulder. We were standing next to a troop of boy scouts who were being taught by an NRA certified instructor and his wife. Lots of families enjoying a beautiful sunny day with like-minded people. And not an Obama bumper sticker in sight!

my trap team shoots practice rounds on saturdays and instead of the usual handful of regulars and gun dogs, the range was crowded with new shooters -- always a cringe-inducing thing to deal with.

I think I'd replace the "I don't dial 911" with "When seconds count the cops are only minutes away" or "The nearest Operating Room is x miles away"
