Name The AR – Finalists

On March 29, 2013 By Tom LindsayIn Projects, Vera5 Comments

I asked for help, and several followers responded! Here are the suggestions. I’ve left out the sources, as I don’t want to influence anyone.

Steve Nash – Short, not flashy and gets the job done.
Eugene
High-Speed Low-Drag Uber Delta
Tanto
Ol’ Painless – named in honor of Jessie Ventura’s mini-gun in Predator
Justice
ARTIE
Freedom – Only a free society, one which respects the Second Amendment, would uphold the right of a citizen to assemble a fully functional firearm with parts from vendors across this great nation. Your AR was completed because of interstate commerce, commerce initiated by the free speech to advertise those components on the Internet, and of course, the right to own the device itself.

Go give it a go.

NRA Board Of Directors

On March 27, 2013 By Tom LindsayIn Self Defense2 Comments

It’s that time of year again, when the NRA elects its Board of Directors. In case you don’t know, the NRA board is made up of 76 members: 75 on three year terms and 1 on a special one year term. Of the 75, 25 are elected each year. The 26th person in voting is usually appointed to the one year term.

If you are a NRA Life Member or have been a yearly Member for five years or more, your monthly magazine for March comes with a ballot, that is due to the NRA by April 14.

There is the usual plate of nominees this year, 29 in fact. Yes, there are some great voices for the Second Amendment on there, but there are some lacking that I would like to see run for the Board in 2014. Michael Bane and Tom Gresham come to mind, and I’m sure there are others.

While I’m not sure it’s time for another revolt like in 1977, but we should look to get more of the younger, up and coming voices in there.

Who knows. Maybe Mr. Colion Noir?

Thoughts?

What About This?

Since the hoopla about the child welfare workers and police responding to the Facebook posting of a kid in New Jersey, I’ve wondered how they would have responded to this:

Or this:

Or . . .

I guess some places are different.

Name The AR

Up to now, my new AR-15 has been code named Project Vera.

Specs on this bad boy are here.

But now the time has come to give it a real name, and, like my SKS, I would like to ask for your help.

Please suggest a name for my AR, and tell me why, using the form below. Get your entries in by 11:59 PM EDT on March 28, 2013. Then, on Friday March 29 I will post the best, and post a poll to pick the best.

Thanks all!

NAME THE AR-15
