Notes from JWR:

It came to me a bit late in the year, but I just realized that 2012 is the 125th anniversary of the patent of the world’s first automatic shoulder-fired battle rifle, the Mondragón. Talk about being far ahead of one’s time! The inventor, Manuel Mondragón was born in 1859. And speaking of fully automatic firearms, isn’t it high time that we repeal the National Firearms Act of 1934, and disband the BATFE? Or, failing that at least repeal the unconstitutional and never properly enacted 1986 machinegun production freeze, and declare a one-year amnesty period to register or re-register any un-papered …

All eyes are on Louisiana, where they’ve been deluged by as much as 25″ inches of rain and half the populace is without grid power. Isaac lacked the punch of Katrina, but it it has still been devastating. Even though the storm missed New Orleans, some residents are looting, I suppose just out of nostalgia for 2005. Please pray for the folks in the path of Isaac, and open your doors to the folks who wisely bugged out. — Today we present another entry for Round 42 of the SurvivalBlog non-fiction writing contest.
