One of the many benefits of living in LSPland is that you can give, and get, Confirmation instruction at the range. It's one of Lent's more pleasant duties and it gave me the chance to shoot a Tikka T3, chambered for .270. I liked it, but thought my Remington 700 had a bit more substance -- it's a bit heavier, for a start; I managed to shoot better with the 700, considerably so. Still, that was probably my fault, not the Tikka's.

| Senator Yee |
In other news, a member of the congregation, who'd just defended her dissertation on the political philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas, disagreed with me when I suggested our Ruling Elites were somehow "corrupt." I didn't press the point, but I will leave you with California State Senator Leland Yee, who has been indicted for gun-running and corruption.

According to Reuters, Yee was arrested along with Raymond "Shrimp Boy" Chow, a prominent figure in California's criminal underground. Yee is the third California State Senator to face criminal charges this year. He is an enthusiastic supporter of gun control.
I wish that that was all. But it isn't.
God bless,

It worked for Leland Yee because he lived on the proceeds of graft. And it works for criminals in general. A disarmed society makes the predators all the more powerful because, of course, they will have weapons.
ReplyDeleteThe two Ft. Hood shootings could have been ended far more quickly if soldiers on post had sidearms. Everyone understands this. An armed society is a polite society.
In every State where citizens are allowed to be armed, the crime rate drops dramatically.
