Editor's Note: Several readers have contacted us to note that the MySpace blog previously referenced in Mr. Inwood's piece below is a parody, and not an official Brady Campaign website.

While the Brady Campaign's official website did indeed announce the launch of a MySpace blog in February at the exact MySpace URL Inwood referenced (that announcement has since been removed), the MySpace content has apparently been replaced by someone else, with a hidden disclaimer - "This Myspace page and all content therein is parody and covered under the first amendment."

From time to time I end up having a heated argument
with some members of my gun club about our Second
Amendment rights. This is always about their need to
get involved in the fight to protect the Second
Amendment. These are usually the fellows who only own
pedestrian hunting guns. They tell me that they are
not worried about the Government coming to get their
guns. After all it is just a .22 rifle or double
barrel 12 gauge. "Nobody wants to ban those", they
tell me. So they won't bother to make the effort to
make a call or write a letter to Congress or other
politicians as they don't think their guns are
threatened. My pleas to them that they need to do
their part to keep our gun rights safe fall on deaf
ears.

Well, for those of this mindset it is time for
you to wake up and smell reality. The antis are now openly admitting they want grandpappy's .22, and I am not kidding.

The Columbus Dispatch recently published a wonderful article detailing the life of James Sweeney, a man who has been at Ohio State either as a student-athlete, professor or coach for all but seven of the past 55 years, the past eight as pistol coach.

From the story:

The ultimate goal of the educator is to prepare them to learn to further educate themselves," Sweeney said.

Ohio State made him permanent pistol coach, a part-time salaried position, in July 1999, and the Buckeyes won the national championship in his first season.

A poster commemorating that achievement hangs above his green metal desk in his simple office, along with plaques and photos of some of his favorite teams and athletes.

"I’ve had my share of winning, but that wasn’t necessary," Sweeney said. "It’s the celebration of participation. The participation is victory in itself."
