Rebalancing Your Gun Collection for the Uncertain Days Ahead
With the upcoming presidential election, American gun owners are facing a time of great uncertainty. If Hitlery Clinton is elected, it is anticipated that she will not only issue a large number of anti-gun executive orders but during her term in office she will also appoint several ultra-liberal Supreme Court justices. That would dramatically alter the balance of the court. These frightening prospects have prompted many gun owners to increase the size of their collections and readjust their composition. As recent gun sales statistics attest, people are definitely stocking up. This news is not evidence of paranoia. It is simply …

“If survival calls for the bearing of arms, bear them you must. But the most important part of the challenge is for you to find another means that does not come with the killing of your fellow man.” – Rod Serling, (creator of The Twilight Zone) in a speech at Binghamton Community High School (1968)

Seeking Reader Input: SurvivalBlog’s Orwell Awards
The recent news about how the FBI filed a lawsuit to block disclosure of surveillance camera locations because it would “violate the privacy” of those surveilled has prompted the editors of SurvivalBlog to start a new awards contest for the most egregious examples of Orwellian Newspeak in the past year. This is in part to remind our readers of the prescience of George Orwell, in his novel 1984. We intend to issue these awards annually (like the Darwin Awards) each July 4th, and post descriptions and links for the top three examples, as well as for several Dishonorable Mention awards, …

No Fly = No Buy? No Way!
In the aftermath of the recent Orlando terrorist attack, the leftist mass media seems to have latched onto using either the Terror Watch List or the No Fly List as a panacea to stop terrorists from obtaining guns. They want to turn them into “No Buy” lists (even though terrorist gunman Mateen was NOT on either list!) The DHS compiles and maintains the No Fly List and the Terror Watch List and probably other lists that are classified and not publicly acknowledged. These lists are secretly compiled and often based on innuendo rather than any legal proceedings. Most alarmingly, these …

Jim’s Quote of the Day:
“You really don’t understand. We don’t worry about individuals. What counts is that many millions of people have the knowledge that they can go to a weapon shop if they want to protect themselves and their families. And, even more important, the forces that would normally try to enslave them are restrained by the conviction that it is dangerous to press people too far. And so a great balance has been struck between those who govern and those who are governed.” – A.E. Van Vogt, The Weapons Shops of Isher

“For every serious attempt to achieve integration of house to site you will find a thousand houses peppering the landscape and clearly demonstrating the builder’s total disregard for even the most basic considerations of sun, wind, and view.” – Ken Kern, The Owner Built Home: A How-to-do-it Book (1972)
