That part of Arlington is either guarded skyrise digs for government employees or deep in the local DMZ, depending. Thanks, Gun Bunny. Articles are getting scarce again for whatever reason.
What it means to take rights seriously is that one will honor them even when there is significant social cost in doing so.

Was the dead guy in the Philadelphia story a victim? I think not.
Filthy-delphia, formerly “City of Brotherly Love”.
Once again, “a knife to a gun fight”. Too, too common. (yawn….)
The thing that I find interesting is the “self-inflicted stab wounds”. WTAF? Was the stabber high? If there’s a surveillance video, I’d love to see it.
Arlington, Va, 1am. “Verbal dispute with a group of individuals”. I’m thinking “drug deal gone bad”. Prove me wrong.
On the Colt 2000…..
This is what happens when management (at any level) gets involved with designers and engineers.
Unless the management climbed the ranks from being a designer/engineer.
“When engineers run the production, working at a manufacturing company is great. When sales runs the company, it’s not as great but still worth working there. When accountants run the company, polish your resume. When lawyers take over, GET OUT.”

That item above screams “In my defense, sir, I was totally unsupervised.”
Philly…”victim” *sigh* A victim of his own teh stoopid.
A sketchy hood leads to sketchy activities. Imma gonna go out on a limb here and say we have a case of the “usual suspects” doing the “usual things”.
My rights? My freedom? See message below…
Seems as if some of the folks that actually own the metal frame version of the gun pr0n All American had a different opinion and results that the reviewer had. Hmmmm And yes, there has been a real famine on FGS articles. Flip side is a major uptick in crime stories.
