Thanks again to everyone who listened live to last night’s show with Philip Van Cleave of the Virginia Citizen’s Defense League.  If you’d like to listen again, you can click this link to listen to the archive copy.

There were a lot of good points made during that interview, but I wanted to focus on the last point made by Philip before he signed off: “An attack on any of our guns is an attack on all our guns” – the point that we need to hang together and recognize that if someone attacks hunting rifles it’s the same as them attacking handguns, shotguns, or anything else.

Obviously, a lot of excellent points were made, especially in the area of individual activism, and how even in a pro-gun state like Virginia you can have a lot of work to do to defend our right to keep and bear arms.  To listen to the entire show, click this link.

Today on Gun Nuts: The Next Generation, we had the opportunity to interview Philip Van Cleave, the President of the Virginia Citizen’s Defense League.  One of our big topics was open carry, which as we talked about in the past has a huge built in culture in Virgina.  Click here to listen to the show, or download the .mp3 below.

Also appearing on the show was Sebastian of Snowflakes In Hell, shedding some light on the Moms Against Guns billboards, which you can see in detail at his blog.

From Tamara her own bad self:

Some bright spark in the Letters to the Editor section of today’s cat box liner was opining that when the Messiah leads us to glory come November, a rational energy policy could be passed that would…

…are you ready for this?

…”[end] the use of fossil fuels in 10 years“.

May I suggest that you, sir, are a bleedin’ idiot and should keep your piehole respectfully shut when grownups are talking?

Are you seriously suggesting that in the space of a decade we could replace every moped and chainsaw, every combine and bulldozer with their equivalents from the Segway catalog? That the coal-fired powerplant that provides the juice to run the refrigerators in the organic produce section of your local Tofu-Mart be supplanted by some solar cells? That the big diesel generator that provides the emergency backup power for your Aunt Millie’s respirator down at Sisters of Mercy General be replaced by pink unicorns farting moonbeams through the blades of wind turbines?

And she wonders why she has a huge internet following.

On the topic of Obama supporters, I have never seen such a bunch of deluded idiots in my entire life.  When I talk to people who are planning on voting for him, it’s like talking to a bunch of cultists – I’m not kidding.  Of the dozen or so people I know that are planning (or say they’re planning) on voting for Barack, exactly 1 has been able to present a case for Barack that didn’t hinge on how “different” things will be when he’s elected.  One person.  Sadly, I suspect that this person is the exception, rather than the rule.

We will be speaking with the President of the Virginia Citizen’s Defense League, one of the most active state-level pro-gun organizations in the country.

Circa 2008, it seems.

The origin of the phrase “keep your powder dry” comes from the era of muzzleloading blackpowder weapons, where damp powder was often much more than just an annoyance, it could lead to a painful death at the hands of Indians or large carnivorous mammals.

My co-host Squeaks seems to have encountered the modern day equivalent of  keeping your powder dry, which would seem to be the much less elegant phrase “don’t overoil the chambers of your carry gun and then leave ammo in there because the shit will corrode and foul your revolver”.  For the record, this is why I recommend the Bore-Snake (hur-hur) to people, especially revolver shooters.  I use the Snake not only the barrel, but after I patch the chambers, I’ll run them through with the Snake to get any lingering grit out, plus the Bore-Snake removes any excess oil that I might have left in the gun.

As much as I hate to sound like a product placement guy, if the zombies did rise, I would grab a Bore Snake to go along with my survival guns, because a dirty gun is almost useless to me.
