Time is almost up for you to win one, or more, (nearly) free guns at the 2013 Gun Blogger Rendezvous in Reno, NV this week. Just register for Gun Blogger Rendezvous, take a trip to the Silver Legacy Hotel in Reno, and buy raffle tickets, comfortable in the knowledge that the proceeds will go to Soldiers Angels.
What can you win if you participate?
True Blue Sam put together this little video to show you.
What about the guns?
Yes, you could win a stainless Ruger .357 Magnum Blackhawk donated by True Blue Sam.
You could also win a Hipoint. Last year, Hipoint donated a 9mm Carbine, and I believe they have generously donated another.
You could also win a lot of other great products, generously donated by Gun Blogger Rendezvous sponsors.
Last year, Mz. VRWC won an awesome stainless steel Ruger Single-Ten (donated by Ruger) along with a custom tooled holster made by Engineering Johnson. We also brought home a wheelbarrow full of other great prizes, including a Crimson Trace LightGuard, a Leupold Mark AR scope, AR-15 magazines from Brownells, and many other great prizes from numerous event sponsors.
The film adaptation of Ayn Rand’s novel, Atlas Shrugged: Part 1, was a jam packed theater experience. Our Cliff Notes review of the movie is: let go of your expectations, open your mind, and go see it! Now! What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for the theater to open? Go now! Okay, okay, please go see this movie at your earliest convenience.
Back to the short-attention-span review, you could read a poncy, pretentious movie critique, or you can take our word. Atlas Shrugged is a good, dramatic movie, with a message based on your choosing. If you’ve read all 1,350 plus pages of the book, you will no doubt notice some deviation from the original story. There’s a bit of a love interest that should keep a slightly vapid date absorbed. There are numerous political themes playing out that should keep your armchair political quarterback friends riveted. Subtle, but important, details are revealed constantly to keep your thinking friends engaged. Finally, there is some great imagery to keep your visually amused friends hanging on for the next camera shot. Make no mistake, this is a sentient person’s movie, unlike Spider-Man 3.
Here’s a clue, take a look at this video of Representative Jesse Jackson, Jr. trashing the Apple iPad . Unfortunately, you can only understand the gravity of the vilification of Steve Jobs and Apple if you see Atlas Shrugged.
Whether you think Big Business is evil and we should be protected from greed, or you think that phony conservatives in D.C. will protect you from socialism, you need to see this movie to grasp the consequences of the fashionable merging of Crony Capitalism with the warm hugs of business regulation, done for the Greater Good™.
Very few movies can motivate an entire theater to applaud, but Atlas Shrugged: Part 1 managed to do just that.
Today’s Great Satan Inc. American Exceptionalism award goes to the US Navy Seals for rescuing the US captain that was held hostage by Somalian pirates this past week. We can’t thank our military enough for all that they do to keep us safe and free!
