At 19 my 88 year old father was pursuing those Fascists across Germany.
I was at Sunday School and Church with him today. He had lunch with my wife and I. During Lunch we spoke of the Bundy Ranch episode and I asked him if he remembered the last time he saw that. He said yes, and had a strong look on his face.
He had seen TV try to make Bundy look like a criminal. He could not remember what network it was on, it was not Fox.
Bears repeating.
Want more handles to harvest for increased government scrutiny?
JACK HINSON’S ONE-MAN WAR: A Civil War Sniper
brief review:
https://www.mca-marines.org/leatherneck/bookreview/jack-hinson-s-one-man-war-civil-war-sniper
Have the book, worth reading.
After his boys were killed and their heads put on the fence post he had a custom rifle built. Finest he could have made. Weighed over 18 pounds. 50 caliber.
They never caught this old man (around 60).
Yes, long range hunting rifles are potent weapons.
Outstanding link. Thank you for it.
“Collins evolved a new concept of guerrilla warfare that in time would be copied by guerrilla leaders all over the globe from Mao to Shamir. The Collins philosophy was based not on the capture of enemy bricks and mortar, but of its information. Traditionally Dublin Castle, the seat of British administration in Ireland, had used a network of spies and informers to infiltrate and then snuff out movements directed at securing Irish independence. Collins perfected a system of spying on the spies. Every important branch of the Castle system, whether it was banking, policing, the railways, shipping, the postal service — whatever — was infiltrated by his agents. These were not highly trained, CIA-style operatives, but ordinary men and women, little people whom nobody had ever taken notice of before. Collins gave them a belief in themselves, a courage they did not know they possessed, and they in return gave him a complete picture of how their masters operated. . .”
This is why young Americans who respect the lives and liberty of others as well as their own SHOULD enter the government apparatuses and military, despite odious policy shifts and culture. Be in their headquarters. Be within their communications systems. Be a link in their logistical chains. Be at their backs.
Most all of the Feds and the local LEO shoot those short-barreled M-4 variants.
Very few even have access to the long-range rifles and even those that do are not likely to be effective with them.
They don't train for it.
However, almost every patriot who has an AR or AK variant also has a well-tuned hunting rifle...and they know how to use it effectively. They now need to refine and extend those skills to 500yds minimum. Every patriot should be able to hit a 12inch target at 500yds, first time, every time.
Game changer.
A faithful 30-06 is quite capable of giving that range and more. In the right hands.
There are some incredible non-factory loads that can easily do that range.
Every time I think about long range accuracy, I think about Billy Dixon and the Sharps 50 in the 1850’s making a shot just short of a mile, with iron sights and black powder. THAT is amazing.
Here is a manifestation of 4th Gen warfare tactics learned by the American People as a result of Waco and innumerable other, smaller clashes.
Out Range them.
Disperse. Dig in. Avoid buildings.
Send out reconnaissance patrols.
Dig holes in the ground and wait. Find cover on the high ground and wait.
If the feds are dumb enough (and I don't think they are) to assault that ranch those who survive will tell a tale for the ages.
