The Smallest Minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities. – Ayn Rand
…you bring a sheet of pre-printed self-adhesive address labels to the Arizona State Rifle & Pistol Association annual banquet, properly sized, to put on the back of the tiny raffle tickets you bought for that really neat gun you really, really want to win.
And there’s photographic evidence of this.
I’m looking at you CapitalistPig.
Someone send me the picture, and I’ll post it.
So, who won the Sharps? And I’m assuming I didn’t win the coach gun.
The sheer chutzpah of the Left never ceases to amaze me. Seen in the parking lot of a Cheesecake Factory restaurant tonight:
If you can’t read the fine print, it’s a bumper sticker made in 2009 by “Northern Sun Merchandising.”
What’s the irony?
What it was attached to:
It’s not just the administration. The entire Left is tone-deaf.
I put in 32 hours in the last two days at work. Tomorrow I’m going to the Arizona State Rifle & Pistol Association annual banquet (thanks to CapitalistPig). And on top of that, my CenturyLink DSL modem is up and down like a yo-yo, so blogging has been and will remain light for a few days. Please peruse the archives while you wait….
From commenter Windy Wilson to Out of Airspeed, Out of Altitude, and Damned Near Out of Ideas:
(T)he philosophy of leftists since the Cretaceous or Permian or Mississippian (to reference Kipling): The experts know better how I should run my business, hire, direct and fire my employeees, what sort of refrigerator, stove, Air conditioner, electric light I should buy, what my clothes should be made of, how much and what foods I should eat, what sort of fuel I should put in my car, how big the car should be, ad infinitum. Like some sort of fractal, the same pattern is both writ large and small, and reveals itself in the collapse of the European Union and in the design of the Airbus.

Perfect analogy.
Yesterday Tam pointed to York Arms’ website where they’re advertising their custom-engraved AR-15 lowers. And this one’s mine!
(Click for full size.)
Hopefully it’s on its way to me now. I have dies and brass, the internal parts kit for the lower, and an A2 buttstock with a recoil pad. I still need a buffer and spring, the Rock River upper, some bullets and some powder, but I’m getting there. Oh, and an optic.

Ex-blogger Jed Baer emailed me today to point to a piece at Sippican Cottage. I won’t even try to excerpt from it. Just… go read.
And weep for our future.
