Larry Correia
“However, before that I owned a gun store. We were a Title 7 SOT (Special Occupational Taxpayer), which means we worked with legal machine guns, suppressors, and pretty much everything except for explosives. We did law enforcement sales and worked with equipment that’s unavailable from most dealers, which meant lots of government inspections and compliance paperwork. I had to be exceedingly familiar with federal gun laws, and there are a multitude of those. I worked with many companies in the gun industry and still have friends and contacts at various manufacturers. When I hear people tell me the gun industry is unregulated, I have to resist the urge to laugh in their faces.”
Larry Correia, In Defense of the Second Amendment

Mark E. Henshaw
“The Americans are like shadows . . . frightening until you finally touch them and realize that their image was their power all along.”
Mark E. Henshaw, Cold Shot
