When I was considering buying a gun, I visited the range/gun store and recognized an old friend, an M14 rifle, the weapon I went through basic with.

I asked the salesman if I could look at it and he got it down for me. It is amazing but it fit my hand as if it was yesterday. For those unaware it shoots a 7.62 round, weighs about 12 pounds with a loaded 20 round magazine.

I was so tempted to start going through the manual of arms right there but I didn’t want the attention. Besides, I would have never lived it down had I dropped the weapon. At my age, though slim a chance of it, I chose not to risk it.

I was a quarter inch from buying it. However, being as I don’t hunt, it was really difficult to justify buying it to only poke holes in paper.

I could use it for self-defense. I mean, I think one of the bullets can go a mile or two. Even if I hit the bad guy, it might go on and kill another 2 or 3 good guys.

Still, I hate myself for not buying it, as an investment, if nothing else. It is against the law to brandish a weapon, but if an armed thief saw me pull that that monster out, I really think he would have reached for the sky, somewhat instantly.

Odd as it is, by pointing such a weapon, it might save the man’s life by threatening with the 30 cal instead of of shooting him with the 9mm 2 or 3 times.

Liberals do have a strange way of looking at things. They don’t seem to understand that using strength to avoid the conflict just might be better than the shooting conflict.

Incidentally, that seems to be the same problem with international conflicts.

However, trying to convince them of that might be more difficult than crossing the the Red Sea afoot without devine help.

I really hate violence. However, sometimes it is unavoidable. Better to get it over quickly at a minimum of loss of life. Better still, if only the bad guys die.

Since Old Joe took the reins, it has been nothing but violence. I sort of lost count, but when Old Joe has has to face Jesus, he will have to account for 30 or 40 thousand deaths. As far as i know, not one person died during the time Trump was in office. Certainly, there was no major violence.

As near as I can tell, the dems share in Old Joe’s sins, considering they don’t seem to be at all concerned and ready to vote him in for another 4 years of violence.
