LOL, ACOG's are sweet! Unlike iron sights you can use an ACOG w/ NVG's.
The corruption we cannot count on being able to deal with. It is inherent in bureaucratic government. We would have to go back to 1890 level of government to get rid of the most of it. Wherever there is regulation there is corruption because a bureaucrat is who you have to deal with to get something done instead of the market. That bureaucrat's duties are not governed by anything "market"; therefore he or a politician has to be "paid" in some way in order to get something done rather than reacting to market signals. It is hopeless to hope for incorrupt bureaucracy. Assiduously jailing or even shooting bureaucrats and politicians for venality would either not reduce corruption, merely change the nature of it, or freeze up the economy altogether. A start would be the repeal of amendments 16,17, and 19. Never happen.
I agree...pay them with training funds.
