Same here - I may have to invest in some scuba gear if they ever get rid of it. I am sure there are lots of "assault weapons" sitting at the bottom of Oneida Lake!

"I'm not an activist - why won't you answer my questions about why Trump is lying about fraud and refuses to recognize Biden as the president-elect?".

What a shitshow poor Kayleigh has to face with these fools.

Few things are more recorded indelibly on our hippocampus that shins vs. trailer hitches and bare feet and lego blocks!

Don't fall for it. I remember when we all agreed that Juan was just kept on the show to provide "balance". Jesse is now just the new Juan.

Ammo can always be used for bartering, don't limit yourself solely to the caliber of weapons you possess - if you can get a good deal on a couple hundred rounds of .22LR, it will certainly be of use to someone else. At some point there will be a shortage of food, water, environmental protection / clothing and first aid supplies if shit really, really hits the fan. Hard to have enough of everything.

As I learned early in the military, 30 rounds is only enough if there aren't 31 people on the other side of the hill.

Served 14yrs as a 12B in the Army - now a disabled vet. My point was there are far more than 50,000 pedes out there that have training engaging targets at greater than 200m because everyone that has ever completed Army BT (and USMC Boot Camp) has this training. This is a war that they do not want.

Don't have to be much of a "sniper" to hit a target at 200 yds. Everyone during Army basic training is taught to engage targets at 300m with iron sights. Just saying.

He has told me many times that I would get tired of winning. He lied, I have not!

Couldn't finish reading it. Got to the part about eliminating the electoral college via executive order and without needing the Senate. He is truly a moron with no understanding of how the govt works.

Exactly. People shouldn't ever under-estimate the very short amount of time necessary to transition US citizens to an effective fighting force. There are literally thousands of former operators walking the streets that have experience training and building foreign military forces out of very illiterate, malnourished and poorly equipped people in third-world countries. I don't mean this to disparage the people in these countries seeking freedom from oppression but there is a huge difference in what it takes to make someone an effective warfighter.

By comparison, the average US citizen has so many advantages simply from an education and communication standpoint. Add in that most have clothing, transportation, basic technology understanding, basic hygiene / medical knowledge. All that is left is some focused training on marksmanship, small unit tactics and security and you get to a functioning civilian paramilitary force pretty quick.

Who is going to "train" the left? Not sure a liberal aircraft mechanic or supply specialist is really up for the job (not being critical of those jobs, just saying they don't get much in the way of combat training).

Yup - I made a post in another thread about this. The majority of the jobs in the military (all branches) are non-combat, i.e. mechanics, administration, etc. The majority of combat trained are in the USMC and Army (with the exception of the smaller special operations groups in the Air Force and Navy). In my career in the Army as a combat engineer, I can say I never worked with any combat soldiers that weren't conservative/right. The more combat-trained they were (Rangers, SF, etc) the more right they leaned. Any liberal person was guaranteed to be in a non-combat MOS (job). We did the fighting, we understood the importance of US foreign policy.

I asked in another thread about what would happen if he died. Seems like a clean way for the deep state to exit this gracefully. No election, no investigation. Throw this one out and focus on 2024. Thoughts?

Honest question, what if Joe does die? Kind of dark and I am honestly wishing death on him, but what happens constitutionally? Trump automatically declared the winner? Joe better watch his 6, if so. Easy way for the deep state to exit this gracefully. No more election, no more investigation? And yes, I have been drinking and probably shouldn't be posting.

Interesting observation but you have to take my word for it. If the military person had a combat job (trained specifically to fight), gay or not, they are overwhelmingly conservative. I knew many support personnel that were liberal (admin, mechanics, etc) but not a single combat arms soldier. Even the support members for my units were typically hard right because we all were.

I am not worried in the least about squaring off against a lefty aircraft mechanics if it came to it. I have fired more rounds in an average training exercise than they did their whole military career. .

Not a chance. You have to understand that the military as a whole may have a lot of liberals across all branches (still less than half), but with the exception of small numbers of special operations groups in the Air Force and Navy, only the Army and Marines have significant numbers of combat troops. The combat arms specialties in the Army as an example include infantry, cav scouts, artillery and combat engineers, all with significant amounts of combat training above and beyond the stuff taught in basic training. Most sailors never do any real basic rifle marksmanship after their initial training, same with Airforce. And my experience has shown me that the closer you get to real bad-assery (teir 1 operators) the more patriotic and conservative. Air Force and Navy are great at softening targets and controlling airspace but they cannot take and hold ground. That's where combat soldiers (Army and Marine) hold the advantage and the number of liberals is minute in that demographic.

As a NYer - not one bit, aside from popular vote, unfortunately.

Thanks - guess I understood it incorrectly. It is correct that the current make-up favors Trump, correct?
