What a beauty:
“We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” Read it all
Well, reading that statement “Civilian Security Force” as meaning an armed citizen mobilized with good intentions.... the 2nd Amendment lives! Now can I have my BAR? Please.
Then I went to see Breda and she sent me off to visit Mike-istan after reading his blog I was going great GUNS! Made me want to run out and get that battle rifle and stock up on ammunition as my son advised. But I went to work and then helped with the Vacation Bible School a bit, and thought about how nice the motorcycle riding is right now. But I will go to the range tomorrow and fire some well placed rounds with my left hand (I have been ignoring my good advice about Murphy getting to pick his time to ruin your day).
By the way, any civilian force with any government control (especially from the FEDERAL level) is para-military and I am not joining - I am too old and independent, and y'all should be, too. We don't need control, we have done fine without it. I would allow the government to give me a thousand rounds of military ammunition for MY BATTLE RIFLE, that they would want me to fire up in ten opportunities a year (no two times in the same month). And they can provide the range for 50 to 600 meters with targets. Haven't I really flown off into Neverneverland? Dinner calls, and I will think on how lucky I am that I don't live in England, Australia or China.

Other than having to buy the ammo, we pretty much get to do that at Quantico :-) OF course it IS a humbling experience with the current Marine snipers practicing at the same time... :-)
Any snipers practicing is a humbling experience, but I have become adjusted to being less than the best but a bit better than the rest, who aren't out there banging away or running down the road.
Being one who shoots bows not guns, ammo is cheaper and reusable. No, I have no problems with normal people owning guns. It's the insane ones who bother me.
