Rifle 101: Resting on Your Rifle Barrel
Resting your barrel on your rest can destroy your accuracy. Everyone knows this right? Well not really, there are a lot of people at the range or in the deer stand that rests the rifle on the barrel.
I’m sure that you have heard people say that resting your barrel on the edge of a deer stand doesn’t affect accuracy. Well, we have some evidence to show that is not the case.

Online Indexing
It’s a common enough thing. People pick up a new firearm and they snap a picture to share on Facebook, either on their profile or in one of the hundreds of firearm-focused groups on the platform. They want to show their friends what they got. You know, before it gets lost in a tragic boating accident.
However, according to the good folks over at The Firearm Blog, there’s a problem with that practice.
Google and Facebook have now made it possible to find photos of firearms by simply typing a serial number into the search box.

People Can’T Fight A Tyrannical Government Nor Do They Have The Right To
Sorry Beto Robert, you do not understand the basic facts.
2A Sanctuary County
Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds is moving forward on a “Sanctuary County” proposal that states the Hood County Sheriff’s Office will not enforce any new state or federal gun law that infringes on the right to bear arms.
“People are scared. They don’t want to lose their rights,” Sheriff Deeds said. “They have the right to protect themselves and we’re going to make sure that they keep that right to keep and bear arms and protect themselves.”

Liars & Gun Control Supporters (But I Repeat Myself)
These are so common they should be an FAQ.
“Nobody wants to take away your guns.”
How you lie to yourselves:
This huge list of people http://thewriterinblack.blogspot.com/2014/09/nobody-wants-to-take-your-guns.html want to take away our guns. You can’t claim it’s only rhetoric. You can’t claim it doesn’t matter. You can’t claim it’s a fabrication or “out of context.” They have stated so, repeatedly, in public. Anyone repeating “no one wants to take away your guns” is deluding themselves into a false moral high ground.
If you are one of these people, knowing this, you have a couple of choices: Contact all the above people and express your objections, or admit that you’re okay with people taking away our guns. In which case, you’re lying to us, too.
I love the way Michael Z. Williamson breaks it down. Read the rest of the article: http://www.michaelzwilliamson.com/blog/index.php?itemid=270
