There�s never been a better time in American history to be a gun nerd. It would have been undeniably cool to stroll out of a hardware store in 1933 with a Thompson submachine gun, cash and carry. However, in 1933 we were four years into the Great Depression, Adolph Hitler was just getting tooled up over on his side of the pond and McDonald�s was just some old guy�s farm. Dropping by McDonald�s for a hamburger would have therefore been both messy and time-consuming. It�s way better today.

The mainstream media lies to us. They feed us propaganda. They don�t want us to know that gun ownership is widespread and that armed defense is common. I was at a conference for minor-media this weekend. There, an associate talked about being turned away from most of his local news stations because �we don�t run pro-gun stories. No self-defense.� Let me show you where the propaganda starts at the top.

Earlier this year, I was looking to get my first handgun as a new resident of the United States. I recently moved from Canada, and I wanted an all-around, dependable, and capable handgun. I asked a number of gun friends for advice, and they suggested a few different options. But one friend in particular, Mark Muller, whom I trust and admire, said the following; �Dude, just get a Glock 19. You can�t go wrong. It�s affordable. It goes bang every time you pull the trigger. You can trick it out or keep it stock. It�s just a great gun. It�s probably the only handgun you ever need.�

The .4� buckshot size doesn�t get as much use by shooters as it probably should. A very nice home-defense round, .4" buck is also a lot of fun to shoot on the range. Pumping a few rounds into various-sized targets is very satisfying with this ammo type because the power and penetration is just staggering.

The expanding full metal jacket, or EFMJ, bullet is pretty unique. It was designed to offer shooters of all types an alternative to hollow points, with a nice blend of stopping power combined with little to no over-penetration. This makes the EFMJ the perfect choice for concealed carry and home defense ammo, because the odds of causing unwanted collateral damage to property or harming people on accident are lower than when using a standard bullet.

The men whose names are common amongst firearm enthusiasts often made their marks in other fields of endeavor far outside the world of guns. Samuel Colt invented a marine torpedo, as did Arthur Savage, who also invented radial tires. L.C. Smith not only gave his name to a fine line of shotguns, but also revolutionized the typewriter industry. Sir Hiram Stevens Maxim is well-known as the father of the machine gun, but he also can lay claim to an electric light bulb and numerous other non-ballistic inventions. His son, not as well known, was also a gifted inventor, whose inventions have been responsible for otolaryngologists (ENTs) not being overwhelmed with clients.
