GUNS: Gun “safety” rules!

Tuesday, August 15, 2006

From: “Benjamin Rogers”
Subject: FW: sage advice (UNCLASSIFIED)

These little gun fight principles are good ones to remember:

1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns.

2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap. Life is expensive.

3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss.

4. If your shooting stance is good, you’re probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly.

5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.)

6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun.

7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived.

8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running.

9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on “pucker factor” than the inherent accuracy of the gun. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. “All skill is in vain when an Angel pisses in the flintlock of your musket.”

10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

11. Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose.

12. Have a plan.

13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won’t work.

14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible.

15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours.

16. Don’t drop your guard.

17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees.

18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.)

19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH.

20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get.

21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet.

22. Be courteous to everyone. Friendly to no one.

23. Your number one Option for Personal Security is a life-long commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

24. Do not attend a gun fight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a “4”.

LIBERTY: Even the local liberal sees a Social Security problem with the D and R candidate here in NJ

Kean on Social Security
*** BEGIN QUOTE ***

So, here is the fullest explanation that young Kean has offered on Social Security to date, a rather long-winded yet empty response full of campaign soundbites, a response that manages to sound thoughtful but that lacks any meaningful policy prescriptions.

*** AND ***

Menendez, also turns to the political cudgel, but his response ultimately is pretty straightforward. He opposes privatization and does not believe the system is in crisis

*** END QUOTE ***

To which, I respond:

http://www.hallnj.org/virtualdebate/flynn_response3.jsp

How about, instead of tweedle dum TOM KEAN’s privatization of something not specific, and tweedle dumber ROBERT MENENDEZ’s “what problem? there’s a problem? where?”, perhaps we could consider a libertarian solution?

LEN FLYNN, in the “other condidate’s section”, like sitting in the back of the election bus, (everyone not a D or an R has no chance, and everyone knows they’re just nut jobs anyway), is the Libertarian candidate for Senate. His answer recognizes that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme. He’ll tackle it head on.

It has long been recognized that Social Security is (a) not insurance, but a fraud on the working class; (b) a federal slush fund to hide the true costs; (d) a socialist’s dream that puts everyone on the welfare dole; and (d) a political football to scare voters with.

Chile, guided by a American educated free-market economist, “unwound” their social security system from a government joke into a free market engine of savings and investment. And, at the time, Chile was largely illiterate. That’s doesn’t make them stupid; by “social security” standards, they were a heck of lot smarter than we are.

So, in sum, Flynn offers a real choice to solve social security. End the theft of a lifetime’s work. Allow the poor not to pay a 100% death tax. Stop the wealth transfer from from poor minority men to rich white women! And, make us as smart as the average Chilean — get the gubamint out of the retirement business.

Or, you can flip a coin and pick a big gubamint republicrat or the big government democan. Don’t kid yourself, there’s NO difference between the empty suits.

I’m voting for small government. Every time. No excuses.

HP Printers: The Older, the Better?

***Begin Quote***

Even so, many readers say that HP has fallen from the top of their list of suppliers because of quality issues.
***End Quote***

I agree printers suck. I had an OJ85 that ran forever. When it died, fixing it was prohibitive. I’ve been buying printers and they seem to die very quickly. Dried print heads. Strange failures. Expensive ink refills. It appears that Brother is my new choice. Absent any other info. Buy cheap ’cause you’ll be tossing them soon.
