Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.
And before they came for anyone ...
THEY TOOK AWAY THEIR FIREARMS.
But before they could take the firearms ...
they used the media to turn people into sheep.
Dancing With The Stars and the Kardashians and, well, even
Sunday Night Football ... as they turned into sheeple. . sad. -- j

They have as much as said: no person, except a law-enforcement officer, an active-duty military service member, or the bodyguard of a Very Important Person, should own, or even so much as touch, a firearm.
We may regard them as no better than the government organ. For this government.
Even Rand didn't figure on anything like this. If you'll recall, Henry Rearden carried a gun during his long walks. He was "carrying" when Ragnar Danneskjöld met him on that lonely road.

Perhaps I have an old-fashioned understanding of words, but isn't that a crucial part of the DEFINITION of rights?
with language like this coming out of our government. -- j

These derringers shoot assorted projectiles, including "snake shot."
So I'm also thinking that snake shot may be appropriate for socialist gun grabbers.
Remember, if we have to shoot, we want to shoot to stop. I don't think "snake shot" would do it.
.....one of the bravest things I ever did was to shoot that gun twice. The first one was a surprise - but I knew what was coming with the second one.

I'm also thinking of getting an air rifle in case of a huge economic collapse or a power grid shutdown or both.
Maybe a crossbow. Either could provide protein without attracting people with noise.
I've some bloody-fingered messy feathers experience for pulling breast meat out of doves.
YouTube has taught me how to skin a squirrel, since there is a dense population of those about my home.
I think it's absolutely vital to get the point across widely that when we shoot, it is not to kill, it is to STOP. I should have that information on a rubberstamp, because it has to go everywhere. Thanks for letting it go with you for a bit.
I recall both at the academy and during a week set aside for annual training (21 times for me), we were told to "shoot to stop."
This was purely for legal reasons and it was drummed into us to use that phrase in a courtroom if it was about shooting an inmate.
But we were also told to "aim at center mass."
As for the paper target at the range, it was a black silhouette of a human head and an upper torso. The ringed bulls eye was located where the heart would be. At the dead center of the paper target.
I was often mentally reminded of what Clint Eastwood's character repeated during the showdown scene of "A Fistful of Dollars."
"Don't forget the heart, Ramon. Always hit the heart"
Our department taught and required two shots to kill and gave you a first time unpaid suspension for shooting to wound. The score over the 50 some year life of the department was an average five to zero annually. with one police officer fatality from a motorcycle wreck in that 50 some years.
Shooting in the lower half of the torso offers a lot of significant target opportunities and less chance of continued fire by the opposition. We were using .38 + P 125 grain SJHP. Shoot to Stop wasn't considered then. I take that is the PC term these days?
Personally I preferred Glaser Safety Slugs which worked even better in the groin area with zero chance of riccochet.
Retired me may some day encounter a terrorist wearing body armor.
Put one in the crotch and then aim at the head.
Lat time I was at the range I aimed at a paper target's head and inadvertently put ten 9mm rounds in the neck.
I figured out thereafter that I was breathing while shooting.
That's a reoccurring bad habit if I'm not thinking about it.
It would not surprised me if I breathed while shooting during an emergency.
Don't think I'll lose much sleep over (gag! gag!) that.
It was kinda weird.
A posted "why you missed" chart at the place indicated that I was not holding my breath while triggering.
The chart was circular for which way the miss went with explanations printed.
Breathing was at the bottom of the circle.
The explanation is backed up by years of DOC gun range instructors telling me that I was breathing again.
When I remember not to breathe, my shooting is always very good.
Do your tests start at the close point and work back to increased ranges? If so think about putting all the round in one hole while you are up close then we you go back and this is easier on outside ranges and get to shooting off hand unassisted or whatever you can shoot over the top of the target. Or to the side ...If by that time you have made a decent hole with a tight group up close the grader doesn't know if you missed, unlikely, or just put the round through the enlarged hole left from the close up shots.
then everyone thinks you are james bond or something. If they ask why the enlarged hole is where it is use the protective vest answer. Most of the hot shots think that is really a cool attitude Then the word get's around. That dude always shoots for the nuts - and hits where he aims.
No one hassles you after that. And you can't quit worrying about longer range distances. Average distance in a pistol shoot out is ten feet anyway.
It would likely be the bottom of the bull but still in there.
I generally will run the target out to roughly 25 feet or so.
May try your advised technique next time.
Lets check this out, first we had rocks, then spears and then spears with rocks for points progressing to the bow and arrow and right up until today. Every weapon from the beginning has been designed to kill with brutal speed and efficiency or we would still be throwing rocks. Actually, a common punishment in the Islamic world is exactly that, "Stoning" and I would be happy to cast the very first rocks when they put the NY T in the pit with all the little trolls that write these ridiculous editorials.
So why get all incensed over the meaningless antics of seven million amazing assholes?
You may add Chicago to that last and a few others. They don't count and demonstrably can't count.
Two buildings and four thousand bodies and they are still the armpit of the nation.
Nevertheless I shall ditto the comment that follows and the disgust I feel for what is clearly the comments of 'enemies domestic. There The two thumbs up is official.
And that goes double for their yellow rag.
When one might read an article and become enraged, the reader should calm themselves and consider the source.
Many of the members of the 4th Estate, the NY Slimes in particular, fail to understand the Constitution, its amendments, and the connotations occurring in the absence of those documents. They completely fail to realize that their selective ability to contaminate paper with their slanted vitriol might be removed by the absence of the 2nd Amendment, the defender of the other 9 Amendments and of the Constitution itself.
All of the Founding Fathers warned against future administrations, especially ardent Federalists like Obama and Trump might choose to silence debate and resistance by confiscating the means of such resistance: guns.
The Tsarnaev brothers used a pressure cooker bomb... No gun required.
