This may get a tiny bit political, so bear with me…

I get asked the question a lot - “Why do you need an AR-15?” or “Who needs an ‘assault weapon’?”. Or the declarative variation - “No one needs a rifle that was designed to kill a lot of people all at once…”

I post a lot of stuff daily over on the RGG Instagram account. My goal is to use images and video I’ve produced exclusively if at all possible. Just to break things up a bit from the reviews, legal analysis articles, and the occasional political bit, here’s some photos…enjoy.

The firearms world is abuzz lately. Politicians calling to “ban all the things” because things are scary, and other fun things like due process violations dominate the lamestream mainstream media newscape. Oops, got a little political there.

RGG got it’s first mention this morning. The site is growing at a steady pace for the moment. I’ve dumped some ad dollars into it, but it’s really a thrill when one of the blogs that inspired me gives this humble site a mention…

With the recent events in our nation, the interest in arming oneself has bumped up another notch or three. Including a few inquiries directed my way for advice and training opportunities. Anyone can pick up a gun and master it, but one isn’t truly armed unless they know the law…

In the young life of this blog, I swore I’d remain apolitical as much as possible. I never did say I would always refrain from commentary on hot-button issues. Of course I’m talking about the deadly terrorist attack in Orlando on Sunday, June 12th…

In ages past, the most common reason for purchasing a firearm was typically for recreation or hunting. Nowadays, you are very likely to hear “home defense” as the reason…
