Finished with the first four paragraphs, can’t wait to read the rest- screw Sawyer.
It was better than good and some things take time to develope- such as whacking phony liberal lies re: guns.
The example of un-practiced people trying to respond effectively was good. Imagine being handed a guitar and thrust on stage with 'real' musicians to play along.
As someone who plays, I can really appreciate the 'practice, practice, practice' advice. Sometimes, weeks will go by and I'll pick up my guitar and notice the 'rust' that has developed.(finger-tip calluses have gone soft, etc.) I can only imagine this is true of one who has advanced shooting skills- where time away from shooting requires a little 'catching up' to get back in the 'groove'.
Taking this analogy a little further, some players will never be all that good no matter how much practice, and yet, there'll be others who'll blow your mind with what they can accomplish in very little time and at an early age. My first guitar was probably like a Saturday Night Special (whatever that means) and I learned a lot on it. What I play now would be comparable to a Kimber with a match-grade barrel (or other well made pistol) where it fits in my hands and I can pull notes out of it the way an experience shooter can quickly dial in the sights and stay on target with ease.
I haven't seen this 20/20 expose, but better I don't. I've very little tolerance for hit-jobs on the right to keep and bear arms. A quick look around at what ails this society can, in large part, be blamed on the fact that it isn't universally practiced.
I work on my vehicles most of the time (oil changes, brakes, etc.) I had to change a water pump on a Chevy Express (05) to get it up and running the next day. It was no picnic, I worked 'till 10pm that night, but imagine if the government told me I had to take it to a dealer and couldn't do the work myself? This is the gist of the article: ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for yourself.
As long as said guitar is left-handed, I won’t have a problem with it. :)
Like you said, it does take a little time to destroy whatever talking points a Liberal brings up. Probably took me about a half hour or a little more to type this up.

Makes me wonder sometimes if Rosa Parks would have been as enthusiastic to ride in the front of the bus if she knew it were being driven straight to hell with guys like Stanley at the wheel.
Thank you kindly
Not sure what her opinion would be in today’s world.
