The OLD GUNS poster and text is our last 2011offering. The text was difficult to write in that it describes how states can defend against an out of control federal government. It describes implementing Arizona's Firearms Freedom Act in the face of federal opposition. As a reminder, the Act states that firearms manufactured in Arizona and prominently labeled MADE IN ARIZONA are not subject to federal regulation.

        Many progressives view conservatives as government hating radicals who enjoy challenging federal authority. However, this poster text was written In an atmosphere of sadness. It's an unpleasant duty to propose actions that could lead to confrontation. The harsh lessons learned in the author's 33-years as an intelligence analyst motivated the posting - one must deal with the world as it is.

        Our "OLD GUNS" graphic along with its supporting text was posted on 12 December. There was a considerable delay in the posting due to wife Mary's medical problems. She was diagnosed as having a very rare and aggressive form of cancer. Thankfully, her recent pathology report is favorable. She has conquered breast cancer, cardiomyopathy, and now Merkel Cell carcinoma. Mary is Norwegian and in the Norse world, TYR is the god of victory; he must surely be her talisman. In spite of health problems, she's been my unfailing companion in developing material for this website.
