      Bloomington expands private security to 7 more parks across city, including B-Line Trail

      As Life long resident of B-Town I have over the last 40 years watched the decay which started in the early 1970’s went IU students were allowed to vote in local election. The students shifted the balance of power to the Left and B-Town as been in decline ever since. Gone are the Towny blue...

      Anyone here work for DNR? Do you get calls from "Karens"?

      I second the comments about Next Door. Kind of liked it at first because people were posting about things going on in the hood that were of benefit, like beware of a local homeless grifter who would hit homeowners up for handyman services and then rip them off. The guy actually approached me...

      DOJ Seeks to make AR Pistols NFA SBRs

      Got off my two comment letters to the ATF. One for ATF 2021R-5 (80% frames) and one for ATF 2021R-8 (Braces). This is kind of like voting, may not do any good but at least I tried. If you don’t want your name and address available for viewing online do what I did and send in a cover sheet with...

      More Biden Bucks on the way?

      I just saw an article on the channel 59’s website that a fourth stimulus check may be waiting in the wings. The article went on to talk about how the last check lifted millions out of poverty and that a fourth check would lift another 7 million out of poverty especially if the payment went to...

      HB 1369 constitutional carry bill introduced for Indiana

      If 1369 is dead and buried in committee when why did I just get another NRA alert this afternoon asking me to again reach out to my state senator to see that 1369 is scheduled for a hearing before 04/07?

      HB 1369 constitutional carry bill introduced for Indiana

      So where does 1369 stand at the moment? I have responded several times when prompted by multiple NRA messages in my Inbox to my state senator and have personally emailed my senator, Shelly Yoder, asking that she support 1369. What is the date that the committee must put this on their calendar...

      Biden Administration Urges Supreme Court To Let Cops Enter Homes And Seize Guns Without A Warrant

      I got to says I have been an firearms enthusiast since the late 70’s and I have seen the ups and down when it comes to the government respecting the people’s right to bear arms. In the 70’s and 80’s the main focus was enacting restrictions on handguns. When that seemed to lose steam in the late...

      Eight Killed in Atlanta Massage Parlor Shootings

      It has been said before but let me say it again, what we have in this country is a mental health / morality crisis not a gun crisis. What I have read about the perpetrator is he was a quiet, well mannered and very religious high school student who thought he had a higher calling. Three years...

      The New Gilded Age

      I just got a text from my cell provider stating that if I continued my service with them that as of 05/05/2021 I would be agreeing to their new terms of service. I thought “no big deal“ as companies do change their terms from time to time but then I read further and discovered that one of the...

      HB 1369 constitutional carry bill introduced for Indiana

      I second the statement, “who the F reads the newspaper“. I would say mostly those over the age of 60 and who are not very internet savvy. The vast majority of people under the age of 60 get their news (I use that term loosely) from the internet but more importantly I think most people are...

      Asking Real Questions for Real Answers! Is there a Path Forward?

      Let me start by saying IMO Trump was/is an egotistical snake oil salesman who distorted the truth on many occasions trying to sell the people his vision of what could or should be. But the fact is what he was trying to sell is what the American working and middle class were longing to to hear...

      The Hard and Hungry vs the Soft and Satisfied

      https://www.academia.edu/8413567/THE_FATE_OF_EMPIRES_and_SEARCH_FOR_SURVIVAL I don’t know if this has been posted before but if interested give it a read. It’s an essay written in the mid-1970’s and kind of long but it could every well apply to the times we are living In today. What are your...

      Is it my imagination? Or are people trending away from .45acp?

      What was new becomes old until it becomes new again and the cycle continues. I started handgun shooting in the mid-70s and was a disciple of the wheel gun (38spl / 357mag) until about the late 80s when wonder-nine fever got a hold on me and I switched from the wheel gun to the 9x19 platform...
