First Post

Welcome to Stab and Shoot. Named after my youtube channel which features my political ramblings, but mostly gear reviews, and other things I find interesting. Lately it's been focused on gear and news that I find very useful and important, however I plan on adding in some other things that will make it more friendly to a wider audience.

Enough about my Youtube channel, how about this blog? I plan to use it for all those thoughts and ideas I can't really put any where else such as forums and the comments sections of news articles. Not because I CAN'T per se but because it won't get the attention I feel it deserves, be it being buried amongst thousands of other threads/posts or comments. What you will find here will be mostly my political beliefs, my beliefs about society, guns, government, and many other things. There may also be completely random and unexpected posts about a recipe I found that I just had to share. I really want this to be focused but I can't help but get side tracked occasionally. I feel that if anyone is actually reading this blog, they can and already have other sources of very focused (and probably better thought out and sourced) blogs, etc.

What you will find here is mostly distilled essence of what my character and person is about. I don't like bullshit and I love to cut through it and get through the facts (at least in theory, hopefully in practice). I also don't restrain from using what many would consider "fowl" or "bad" language, if there even is such a thing. I'm not about cursing constantly or consistently, but I certainly do not restrain from it when it's necessary. I just find that some ideas don't exactly read with the same punch if you use replacement curses such as dang, frick, gosh, darn, dangit, shut the front door, etc.

So you might be thinking now, why Stab and Shoot as a name for a youtube channel and blog? Well, honestly I have no good, profound answer for you other then I could not think of a good username that either hadn't already been taken or sounded like what I wanted it to mean. Quite frankly it stems from my belief that things that are used for stabbing and shooting are often what humanity falls back onto when talking proves time and time again to go no where except in the wrong direction and cause misery and pain through bureaucracy for it's inhabitants.

No, I do not believe that the only and best solution for all problems is by the blade or bullet, I believe negotiation has it's place. But when that goes south, we must have a standby, otherwise we are at the mercy of those who have blades and bullets.

Anyways I'm straying from explaining the purpose of this blog into subjects which deserve their own posts, so I'll stop now before this turns into a novel.
