There is one overriding issue in this campaign. It’s not abortion, immigration or judicial nominations, as important as they are.

​When your house is on fire, don’t make plans to redecorate. There’s a fire raging in America which could consume our country. This isn’t hyperbole. It’s reality. If the revolutionaries seize control, nothing else will matter in the long run.

​We’ve seen it time and again. We saw it in the streets of Paris in 1789, in Moscow in 1917 and in Germany the early 1930s – the marches and sloganeering, the rage, the murderous violence, the attacks on authority, the chaos, and the insistence that only a revolutionary vanguard understood the will of the people.

​The enemy was aristocratic privilege, or an antiquated monarchy, or “capitalist exploitation” or the Jews. This time, it’s carefully orchestrated charges of institutional racism, police brutality, and an unjust economic system.

​We used to say it can’t happen here. That’s what some Germans told themselves during the Weimar years. How could a country so educated, so cultured -- the center of scientific research and medical advancement -- elect a gang of murderous cretins? They did.

In the 18th century, France epitomized refinement in art, architecture and literature. French was the language of most European courts, the language of diplomacy. Then came the guillotine.

And America?

I read somewhere it was middle class women that turned the Nazis from a fringe party into the largest party in the 1930 elections.

I have a book with the electoral maps for the last two German elections of the Wiemar era. The map looks pretty familiar in that the socialist constituencies were mostly in the north and east while the conservative constituencies were in the south and west. SPD, the traditional German socialist party, won those constituencies in the previous election, but the Nazis took those constituencies away from SPD this election.

So much for the myth the Nazis weren't real socialists but were conservatives. No, it was socialist voters who handed them their plurality.

That photo is the reason cluster bombs were invented.

The secret of “full auto” is all it really does is use up lots of ammo unless you are really close.
I shot a HK MP5 here in AZ.
In 30 sec (firing short bursts) I had already shot 60 rounds.
Ms Kimber could have done the same damage and only spent 7 rounds.

Precision fire beats mass fire.

Learn to feel your trigger reset.

Get a Binary Trigger (fires a round on pull and another on release) or a quick reset trigger such as comes with the Sig P226 TacOps.

Cuts the time to get off well-aimed rounds in half.
