Fifty million Americans are missing!

January 22, 1973. American service personnel were dying in Vietnam, as America acted to prop up the South Vietnamese government under the Domino Theory. Back home, war protests were going on, illegal drugs were all around us.  

Things are pretty much the same now as then, except . . . 

Small pistols and revolvers - constant companions

In a recent post on handgun stopping power, I mentioned that the first order of business is to be armed. In that post, I mentioned the NAA mini-revolvers. These are about as small as one can go with a firearm. NAA has a new player in Beta test right now, that they call the Ranger Breaktop. This iteration of the mini-revolver adds the break top action of the Smith and Wesson Schofield to their .22 Magnum model. I wish I had thought of that. . . . Actually, I did. 

Tuscon shooting

The tragic shooting yesterday in Tuscon has fingers already pointing at conservatives and at legally armed citizens as well. 

The fact is, political assassinations have been a part of human history since antiquity.

It will be interesting to find out what kind of juvenile record the perp had (if any). It seems obvious that he is no more normal than the killer at Luby's Cafeteria.

For more details on the gun used, check out Beregon's Bar. H/T to SayUncle for the link.
