Self Defense and Security Blog

Hi, Folks
Been so bummed out lately by all the liberal goingson in DC that I haven’t had the wherewithall to even sit down at the keyboard and type. The United States is being wiped out in front of our eyes and we are helpless to do anything about it.
I probably would not be writing this had it not been for a good customer who e-mailed me and kind of snapped me out of my bummer. I had to e-mail him back with some explanation of my actions and then launched into a small rant about the state of the state and afterwards I liked it so much I jus hadda reprint it for you, at least part of it is below.
“I must be honest with you concerning my current state of mind. The present political situation distresses me terribly, the President and Congress are determined to turn my wonderful US into Cuba. The Country it seems is now progressing toward that end so much faster than at any time in history that I walk around talking to myself. I wake up nights worrying about the future of my family and even my own, short as it probably is. The new taxes, governmental programs, bailouts, takeovers and controls on individuals I am certain will combine to be sure catastrophe for the US. We tripled the money supply with the stimulus package, when that money leaves the bank vaults and our savings assumes 30% of it’s previous worth will be the real knife in the back. *The one trillion dollar estimate over ten years of the cost of the healthcare package which will certainly be approved (** and then provide governmental care for 1/3 of those presently without health insurance) would be hilarious if it weren’t so inherently tragic. Never has there been a political program whose actual cost was even close to the original politician’s estimate, they always exceed it and usually by several times the estimate. The quality of the people in charge of both houses of Congress (no matter the party) is particularly troubling. They apparently have no clue of the consequences of their actions and are instead focused on being re-elected rather than taking care of their constituents.
I have been very lax about keeping the blogs and e-mails going to my faithful customers as I should have and I am blaming that on the state of the Union. I hope you have shocked me back into reality so I deal with those things I have control of instead of being catatonic due to worrying about what I can’t.

* Oops sorry I guess the estimate has already been increased to two trillion over ten years and then increased to “well we just don’t know”, great.
** this of course means that the other 66% will be clamoring for their cut thus increasing the cost by three times what it eventually turns out to be

Okay for what it’s worth, there it is. Now to make this entry worthwhile for you I have come up with a special on a new item (even though as my supplier says there’s no money in em, take that to mean they don’t have any markup room) the TASER® X26C which is not only awesome in stopping power but looks awesome too. They come with a holster and 6 air cartridges included. The retail on this item is $999.00 and Poppajohn sells it for 979.00 but even though there’s no room for any price cuts Poppajohn is gonna let you order one for $929.00 Just use the discount code NEWTASER when you check out.
Next entry we will deal with the latest fiasco the DC fools have in mind The CAP and TRADE bill.
Thanks a lot!
Be safe!
always be armed, aware and have a plan!!

Hi, Folks.
Here’s a quick one from Poppajohn:
Australian Gun Law Update
Here’s a thought to warm some of your hearts…
From: A police officer in Australia
Hi Yanks, I thought you all would like to see the real figures from Down Under.
It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced
by a new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by
our own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars.
The first year results are now in:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 6.2 percent,
Australia-wide, assaults are up 9.6 percent;
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent.
(Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not and criminals still possess their guns!)
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since the criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the elderly, while the resident is at home.
Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in ’successfully ridding Australian society of guns.’ You won’t see this on the American evening news or hear your governor or members of the State Assembly disseminating this information.
The Australian experience speaks for itself. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Take note Americans, before it’s too late!
