We Are At War
I have an e-mail pal who is a journalist currently assigned to Paris. He got there to cover the terrorist attacks and it has become his beat. As part of a rather long e-mail he sent me the following which I have edited for brevity. It is a description of entering the American Embassy.: First, there are three checkpoints before entering the courtyard. Next come concrete caissons which are spaced five feet apart which is the first line of defense. Next are the French police, three pairs standing abreast of their squad cars which are parked directly before the Embassy gates. They all carry sub-machine guns.Next there is a watch house which is posted with a Marine security detachment. The streets are cordoned off for four blocks in every direction and there are snipers stationed on nearby rooftops. Now, who would like to tell me that we're not at war?

My thought on this: It's wrong to point to one person as the focus for a republic becoming and empire. Rome became bloated and corrupt in a long process. Our empire will have a different cast of characters. History doesn't repeat itself, but it rhymes.
These are also the only rounds I carry.
My best advice for a bad guy is to leave old guys in wheelchairs alone, they may not have decades of life left, but theyare VERY intent on living them.
My power wheelchair back, neck and head rest are lined with 1/4" AR500 armor, enough to defeat any handgun round and most mid size rifle rounds. In addition to a 9mm pistol, in my belt (summer) or a 45cal 1911 shoulder rig (winter) there's another high cap pistol under my seat. A couple knives just might be found too, just for fun.
I would never never go looking for a fight, I'm a vet who has seen to much for such foolishness, but I am a vet who KNOW'S what might be required to win such an engagement. My intention is that if I ever find myself in that situation is to win and to be the guy to go home.
She also suggests government "turkey farms" to which unfireable employees could be promoted. Desk in a plain office building, perhaps somewhere in Lost Dakota or one of the Aleutian Islands. "Your job is to warm this chair. If you don't like it you can get a productive job elsewhere."
Any round that deposits all of it's energy in the target is a friend of mine.
That said, I recently discovered some AP bullets (I reload) for .223 and .308. They cost about as much as gold, but should work well for remote detonation of explosive clothing.
When I saw that this morning I said, "We are going to lose this war." The enemy has infiltrated. My wife's family is French. I compare this to the Nazis having friendly visits with the French police and government officials to bribe them pre-invasion. That's why Hitler rolled in so easily. Just this Sunday my mother-in-law was telling me the story of her mother closing the drapes and turning off the lights as the Nazis marched past their home in the night. In the previous town they passed through they put all the men in the town in a barn and burned them all to death. She says she can still remember the smell of the flesh. My point is that I am sure the same approach has been done in Europe, and probably here in America. That's why we are told that a President's anti-terrorism tweet is more dangerous than a couple guys plowing their van into a crowd and then jumping out to slash the throats of the women and children. See how that works? It's a form of gas lighting. And, we're subjected to it every day because certain people have been bought off. Brilliant, really...
