Let it begin here

Easing into my 40s, I’m finally starting to understand the urgency of time, and the appeal of leaving a lasting legacy. What will I leave behind to my daughters, and my nieces and nephews? What can I do for my grandchildren before they’re even born, so that they have an opportunity for a life as

5 Lessons From the Panic of 2012

From Survival and BeyondTEOTWAWKI   Blog The gun control madness has been frustrating for most of us, but I think there are some helpful observations we can extrapolate from the whole mess. This time around, we’re seeing panic buying of guns, magazines and ammunition. Now, extend that to the initial hours/days after a wide scale collapse scenario, when you have people running out and buying anything and everything under the sun. Food. Water. Batteries. Tools. Camping gear. Everything. Using the current panic buying environment as a case study, here are a few things you can expect to see: #1. Have what you need on hand: Pretty self explanatory. You don’t want to…

Been to a gun shop lately?

I live in South Carolina and have visited several gun shops as well as stores that carry firearms and ammunition.  All are pretty much the same – no semi-automatic firearms (centerfire or rimfire), no magazines, and several calibers of ammunition virtually absent. Don’t see this anymore. With the threat of a new Assault Weapons Ban just over the horizon, there has been a massive rush on guns, magazines and ammunition – specifically AK’s, AR’s and the like. 7.62 x 39mm, .223/5.56mm, and 9mm ammunition have disappeared off the shelves along with .22LR.  Any and all magazines holding over 10 rounds are gone or selling online for big bucks. …..nor this. I felt pretty squared away with …

They did so in order to throw off the chains of monarchy in order to preserve the freedoms given by God, which should never be constrained by man. After

Feinstein To Ban Hammers And Clubs?

image source: BREITBART There are more people killed each year from hammers and clubs than there are from rifles. Will Senator Feinstein target these hammers and clubs as soon as she’s through gutting the 2nd Amendment? According to the FBI annual crime statistics, the number of murders committed annually with hammers and clubs far outnumbers the number of murders committed with a rifle. Here’s a question that is apparently mind bogglingly difficult to comprehend by Feinstein and her accomplices in the Administration and the main stream media… “Did the hammers, clubs, and rifles do the killing? Or… were the crimes committed …

Join the NRA……

Yes – another post about gun control. It is just one of many more to come. With the impending gun control legislation looming nearby – there has been no better time to join the National Rifle Association than RIGHT NOW if you are not a member. Write your Congressman, talk to your friends and neighbors that are like-minded to do the same – and join the NRA. We all need to be in this fight together. Rourke © 2013, Rourke.
