Via Borepatch:
We've all seen what happens when you combine crazy gun laws with possibly politically motivated government. A bunch of folks took this kind of personally. People have been asking what they can do.
TJIC himself has been pretty gracious about the whole thing, saying that he's in good shape (so far) and recommending that people toss another sawbuck in the plate on Sunday if they want to help the world out. Fine advice for all of us.
But +5 Insightful to Top Of The Chain, who brings a wicked smaht idea:
So last night after I buycotted a graphic novel from Heavy Ink, TJIC commented on the previous post with this.
Btw, if comic books aren't your thing, I own and run a second business: SmartFlix.com.

Today the M1 is enjoying a resurgence as a long range match rifle through the DCM program and the recent availability of imported surplus rifles. If you own a M1 Garand or it's magazine fed brother the M1A you'll want this course so that you can truly understand how your rifle functions, be able to totally strip it and reassemble it down to the last part and perform basic repairs. You will even understand how that mysterious clip feed system works and how to adjust it. Improving accuracy is also discussed. The differences and similarities internally between the M1 and the M1A are shown in detail.
This video was added to our catalog on January 01, 2000 in Firearms::M-1 / Garand.
As you see, they're helpfully tagged for your browsing convenience. Other tags include AK-47 and 1911 (by God). And there's a nifty Amazon-like Wisdom-Of-Crowds thingie, which helpfully points out:

So take a moment to browse over to SmartFlix. There may just be something there for you - if so, order it. Post it on your site.
And to the point of this post - let's drive so much business his way that Governor Patrick will want to break ground at the new SmartFlix World Headquarters.
Borepatch appears to be the locus of online support for Travis against the statist goons. It’s genuine grassroots and an example of spontaneous order. But the primary lesson is not economic right now.
I’m not sure I am suited for re-education camp, but at least I’ll be in interesting company.

Re: I am TJIC
Thanks for the support!
Btw, love the blog title and subtitle - subtle, but punchy if you know the reference.
