Confucius say "Happiness is a belt-fed weapon."

“If” (IF) “big cops with batons were allowed to start bashing these domestic terrorist’s heads, this sh*t would stop ASAP.”
Well, in Portland(D), they have video on TV of a big cop pushing (bashing) one of the domestic terrorists with his baton. The next video is an interview of internal investigation saying the officer involved has been identified and will probably not be allowed to participate in any more festivities.
If you go on youtube and search for “Animal Farm”, you can find 2 movie versions of George Orwell’s book. I would urge everybody to watch one or both of these. Right now, the United States is about 15 minutes in. Everyone should see how it plays out and how it ends.
It's worse than that, even. Shall we not pull punches? It's because Democrats in leadership positions actively want it to happen. It isn't a matter of incompetence or dereliction of duty, it's active malice. The Democrats in charge felt, at least in the beginning, that tearing up their own cities would reflect some sort of weakness on the part of Trump, an assumption made because of their own desire for an imperial Presidency with themselves in charge. That's their model for government and their destructive behavior in charge of city and state demonstrates it. They are literally trading not just the appearance and economic prosperity of their trusts but the very lives of their citizens for cheap political theater and the equally irresponsible media, both local and national, are abetting the horror.

God Bless Oregon...she sent me some amazing photos. We went there when the kids were very young my son was still breastfeeding and as luck would have it...he got strep throat as we checked out the coastline. The dr.in Portland (we were staying with a friend) did not give him an antibiotic so we had to do 2 dr visits while vacationing.drag....
“You need a sufficient amount ammunition to be able to continue training while the supply has dried up.”
I certainly agree with that part. If a person has more guns than he really needs, the scenario crops up where one forgets the idiosyncrasies of each weapon, and when needed may not hit the target.
In other words, they need to be occasionally fired to stay familiar with that particular weapon, and that occasional use uses up lots ammo.
Tonight I will be practicing with a favorite revolver, probably use up 30 rounds or so of various types.
When you have multiple handguns and long guns and don’t shoot all of them regularly that muscle memory disappears in a hurry. I have spent the last couple years devoting most of my recreational time to motorcycle riding. I decided to get everything back up to speed in the firearm department and found that I couldn’t remember half the crap I thought I did.
Now this will sound real cheezy to the gun buff that has perfect weapons and cleans them more often than he take a bath.
I just got through shooting a Judge that shoots left 10 inches at 50 feet using 45 LC’s. There is no more sight adjustment left. So I’m just going to make a label to put on the gun indicating such, so the next time I shoot it I know how to compensate for it.
When shooting the 410 ga 0000 buck self defense rounds, it’s right on the money. Same with bird shot. For some odd reason the 45’s go left.
My point is, like you said, this crap is hard to remember when you have several weapons. Especially something like the Judge or Governor that shoots several different types of ammo.
Labels work.
I had a similar issue with a Marlin 30-30 lever action. The wrong front sight was installed on it and no matter what you did it was shooting 9 in low. So instead of trying to compensate I slapped a Red Dot sight on it. Bingo everything is hunky-dory now.
That 30-30 sounds tame compared to the semi-auto carbines we have access to. But it’s one of the most fun guns to shoot in my opinion
