There is a lot of talk going around about Buy a Gun Day. The spirit of the event is that you are supposed to buy a gun on April 15, in order to stick it to the gun grabbers. Now let me tell you why I don't participate (strictly speaking).

First of all, timing a gun purchase to a specific day just seems silly. Especially when you buy as many guns as I do. If you buy a gun in March and then again in May, does April really matter?

Second, the day is timed with tax day. I presume that many of you actually get tax refund checks, but I haven't received one in several years. In fact, April 15th is usually the day I mail off my additional tax liability to the government. This year is no different, and I'm already on the hook for several hundred dollars.

April 15th also happens to be my dad's birthday. As if paying taxes wasn't enough, I also have to shop and buy my father something. I don't know about your dad, but mine will never tell you what he wants. That is, until April 16th, when he all of a sudden unblocks his mind and remembers everything he ever wanted that you didn't get him.

Now, about my gun purchase. This week I submitted my order and paid for an evil looking gun that is sure to strike fear into the hearts of gun grabbers everywhere. Of course ordering it and paying for it are only half the battle. There is some manufacturing and paperwork involved, and I probably won't actually see the gun until this summer.

Now, I might end up buying another gun closer to April 15th, but for now, this one is going to have to be considered my BAG day purchase. Therefore, I will not reveal the nature of the purchase until April 15th.
