Folks I Look Up To II

There is a list of bloggers I make sure to read each and every day. Most of them have at least something to say daily. Others only update every few days. Others still post many times per day. Each of them unique in their writings and distinct in their foundations, despite the blatantly obvious common thread(s) among them.

One of them is damned good with a camera on top of that, and I'd wager that none who read this blog are unfamiliar with his works. That individual is Oleg Volk. I could literally write thousands of words just to justify the hundreds of links to incredible content that he has provided in defense of firearms ownership. Today, however, he makes a point that not only defends ownership, but whose argument flies directly in the face of gun control by literally using their own argument against them:

…(I)n fact, the misuse of force by criminals and governments is the most compelling reason, far more compelling than sport or hunting, for lawful civilians to stay well armed and trained.

Again, there are a lot of ideas that I agree with that I have believed all along. Maybe if I try real hard and eat my Wheaties everyday, I can write like that.

Oh, and Oleg has only lived in America for 22 years. He lived in Soviet Russia before that. Dude knows first hand what it's like to live under the heel of jack-booted tyranny. Credential enough? Yeah.
