Some advice for my transgender readers in the new year

January 6, 2025 By Mark Draughn Leave a Comment

Abstract monochrome image of a pensive female figure with some unknown figures in the distance.

There has been a surge of anti-trans violence in the last few years, including attacks leading to at least 36 deaths, and given the direction our country is going, it would not be surprising to see even more violence in the future. Given that possibility, I have some advice for my transgender readers--Wait, what? A middle-aged white cishet male has advice for trans … [Read more...] about Some advice for my transgender readers in the new year

Of Guns and Groomers

November 9, 2024 By Mark Draughn Leave a Comment

About a year ago, I had a brief Twitter/X exchange with John Lovell of the Warrior Poet Society. Lovell is a fairly well-respected figure in the firearms training community, and from the videos I had seen, he appeared to be a pretty thoughtful guy.

I never bought one, in part because I lived in Chicago, which has strict gun laws, but ever since I moved out to the suburbs a few years ago, I've been thinking about getting back into shooting as a hobby, and last fall I started researching what kind of AR-15s were available. My plan was to get a … [Read more...] about America’s Rifle

Jane Notz is Fibbing

May 9, 2023 By Mark Draughn 3 Comments

Yesterday, Illinois Solicitor General Jane Elinor Notz filed a brief with the Supreme Court, defending the Illinois assault weapons ban. Much of the brief is about law and procedure, which I'm not knowledgeable enough to address. But think I can shed some light on one tiny piece of Notz's brief:The instruments regulated by the Act are best suited for offensive combat: … [Read more...] about Jane Notz is Fibbing
