On the US Constitution

mindflayer — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 15:05:47 +0000

I hear very often today about how the Constitution “grants” the People their rights. Nothing could be further from understanding the purpose. The Constitution guarantees our rights while it grants and restricts the power of the government. We should not sit on our hands as the power granted to the People is whittled away illegally day by day. Vote. Speak up. Exercise your rights.

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government – lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.”

Ruger SR-22 pistol

Picked up a Ruger SR-22 pistol today and took it for a spin at the range after a quick clean. No issues, ate all 100 rounds just fine. Trigger in SA is actually surprisingly good; double action is still decent. Lots of fun and will be perfect for training and for taking new people to the range.
