Where was I in 1993? Occupied with my IT career. For me, the lights went on during the Clinton regime. All those years of study combined with my fascination with history and human nature reached critical mass when confronted with the sickening criminality of the Clintons.

At 70, I am unwilling to give up without a fight. Ive taken a beating over the last few years - a near fatal accident in2019 that broke me up pretty good and a recent bout with the CCP flu that took more out of me than I care to admit.

That said, I'm still quite capable of settling in behind my optics-equipped FN FAL and taking a few with me before they they catch up with me. The realities of aging and "the mortal shocks that flesh is heir to" dictate a change in outlook and tactics. No shame in that. But it's not all about firepower.

How about that old guy with a smile on his face dressed in an expensive suit and carrying a nondescript briefcase?

Or that guy in well-worn Carhartts, a scuffed up hardhat, equipped with a radio and a clipboard with a legit looking work order?

Or that dirty, smelly old bum mumbling to himself while he pushes what looks like a shopping cart full of trash?

Or that average looking mom pushing what looks like a baby carriage?

Think of the places you'll go and the things you can do.
