Speaking of <em>Gunpowder and Lead</em>. . .

. . . I've been meaning---ever since I plugged Caitlin Fitz Gerald's project, Clausewitz for Kids---to say a few words about this blog, as it might be of interest to Lawfare types. Gunpowder and Lead---a blog on small arms, international affairs, and security---was brought to my attention recently by Wells, and I was surprised and delighted to find that it was the brainchild of one Diana Wueger. Diana used to work at the development office at Brookings, though her heart lay in security issues concerning small arms. (She is now a research assistant at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterrey, CA.) She had always been an active Twitter presence, and she has collected around the site she has built a group of very interesting, thoughtful, and mostly younger folks interested in security issues--people whom she seems to have collected through Twitter. It's an impressive project and very worth checking out.
