What G-man and Rightisright said.
I only knew them through their blog, but they held thoughtful, interesting and thoughtfully arrived-at opinions, even when I disagreed strenuously.

A stop at my LMoD on the way home today resulted in one 4473, lightening of the cash reserves and a net gain of a Ruger “Convertible” Redhawk .45 Colt/.45 ACP, 4" barrel, stainless, 1 ea.

(pending 10 day CA wait)


I blame Kim and the significance o' the hope in this day's dawning.

Just a reminder, but National Ammo Day is next Saturday.

Their lives have been filled with problems and challenges. I remember how much fun that weekend of the Nation of Riflemen shoot was. I also remember that it is because of them that we have this group and I have many friends on here and in real life. May Connie pass peacefully and with as little pain as is possible. May whatever being they believe in bless them during this time.

I've had the good fortune to have met up with Kim and Connie on several occasions over the years.

Connie could be tough to get to know, but Kim always described her as his muse. Personally, I liked her, and they always appeared to be very much in love.

Last time they drove through Chicago, they stayed with us.

My sister died of cancer several years ago, and it was rough watching the decline.

Regardless of their beliefs, they are in my prayers.

May G-d hold them both in the palm of his hand.

I fucking hate Cancer. Dawn and I were lucky, we had 2 years of knowing she would die of it. We lived accordingly, as our budget allowed. Then due to lying motherfucking, covering their own incompetency and felonies doctors, we only had 2.5 weeks notice of her death from the metz to her pancreas.

I wish Connie a passing that is quick enough to avoid the incredible pain that can be there, but let her live so long as she is ok with the quality of life. I watched Dawn take her last breath. It was peaceful and she was very ready. I hope Connie has the same.

Did I mention, I fucking hate cancer and the God complex motherfuckers who ... oh I should stop before I go full rant.

Kim's TOS site, fanned a fire that had lit under my ass when I decided to evacuate NYC. Meeting you guys and the others who have fallen away has been a great thing. I am in their debt for that, if for nothing else.

Just a quick story. How many of you went to the NoR meet in Plano years ago, hosted by Connie and Kim? 40 people, so many guns they filled a standard size bedroom. The Saturday mud shoot, Sunday's massive storm, the dinner and talking. One of the most enjoyable weekends shooting I've ever had. My wife had never been much of a shooter but she enjoyed spending the time at the range with me. She was apprehensive about going because she pictured a bunch of rednecks talking nothing but guns. When we were driving home, she made a remark that was apt for that group and this sub group. "I was expecting a bunch of guys who would talk of nothing but guns. I heard conversations about politics, religion, books, movies, comics, child rearing, just about everything. That was fun." That's stuck with me ever since. The gun culture is so diverse that you get just about anything from it. I thank Connie and Kim for getting so many like minded people together and for helping bring many new shooters into the fold.

I was there with my son. Great weekend, and I enjoyed visiting with everyone, including your lovely wife.

I was certainly no fan of hers and vice versa. I was also close to being banned on a couple of occasions for no apparent reason. That said, I am sorry she has been ill.

Kim had his day, and it was a spectacular day, but due to his enabling of Connie's moods, he had jumped the shark and was bleeding readers. Plus, he was too touchy about frankly discussing race because of his South African baggage. He once told me to take my attitude to Stormfront for merely sharing a fact from an FBI fact sheet.

I''m grateful to them both for getting me back to the noble sport and increasing my knowledge base, but it was time for them both to retire from public life.
There must be an end to this intimidation by those who come to this great country, but reject its culture.
