RECCE ROOM

And at three Jesus cried out with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lemá   sabachtháni?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” Mark 15:34 HCSB This is why it is Good Friday. 

Take away the guns. It's the Left's response to sshootings. It's also the most infantile response one can have. When a child misbehaves with an object, a common solution is to take away the object so the child cannot repeat said action. Now, wily 3 year olds notwithstanding, the children typically do not have the wherewithal to obtain that object, if it's properly put away. The child cannot manufacture a new one. The child cannot meet up with an illicit dealer and obtain the object on the black market. Hopefully, by the time the child is old enough to have the means and ability to do these things, the parents have taught the child right from wrong. But, that young person, if they are inclined to obtain something they don't have, will usually be able to - whether they mean to do right or wrong with the object. Taking things away works for 3 year olds, but not for 33 year olds. That's why gun control never works.

God doesn't call the perfect. He perfects the called. Lefty  points out that President Donald Trump is not a oerfect man, and that doesn't matter to most on the Right. President Trump is doing what we sent him to Washington to do. Look to the Bible - the only perfect man was the messiah, Jesus the Christ. The rest had... problems. Moses murdered a man. But God chose him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. David was an adulterer and a murderer, and God used him to be one of the most influential figures of the Old Testament. Paul was also a murderer, yet he was the most evangelical figure in the New Testament. Keep on looking - you won't find perfect people in the Bible. You'll find sinners who did as God instructed them, thereby accomplishing more than they ever could have alone. The Rifleman cares not about alleged adulterous engagements by the President. In truth, the Left doesn't either - hello, Bill Clinton?  The Left simply tries to weaponize anything th...

15 minutes of fame for David Hogg, the crisis actor who is the face of the Left's most recent push for gun control.  As with all leftist talking points, there are many holes in the arguments he makes when he's in front of a camera. The most notable is that he feels that a school mandating that the students use clear backpacks, violates his personal rights. Of course, he sees no irony in the fact that he is trying to push for the violation of the rights of all Americans, by stripping away the Second Amendment. The motives of the Left are plain as day. As Chateau Heartiste  points out, there will be no compromise. The only options are: 1. The Left capitulates 2. The Right capitulates 3. Secession and separation The third will be messy. 

The Rifleman's take on the Omnibus bill. 1. Even if wrong, the Rifleman will not turn on Trump. Lefty details  it better than the Rifleman could: "So if you’re turning on Trump because of this omnibus bill, then congratulate yourself because you just got played by the swamp." Those who complain about Trump losing at "4D chess" are those that cannot play checkers, much less understand chess. Don't believe the Rifleman? Ask them to articulate what an en passant is and why it is important.  2. Edited from Social Media, this could be a huge advantage! "It’s not an official ‘Federal Budget’. It’s an Omnibus bill. He outsmarted them again, and Congress basically screwed themselves by not passing a Budget. Per the Constitution, the President must adhere to a Budget set forth by Congress and direct the expenditures as provided therein. An Omnibus Spending Bill may have some ‘instructions’ as to how the money will be spent, but Obama ig...

We are taught at an early age how to have civil discourse. Societal rules established so that all might have a voice at the table. But some do not adhere to the rules. As with any action, there are pros and cons to this behavior. One must always examine the trade offs and evaluate them in light of the desired outcome. But how do people bend or break these rules, and why? An Alpha male will occasionally ignore societal rules. Typically, this is when there is a challenge to the natural order of things, and the Alpha must respond in kind in order to preserve the rank structure. Preserving the rank structure is, by default, preserving society as a whole. A Sigma male sees the rules of society, understands them fully, and elects to operate outside them. This is a calculated behavior as the Sigma realizes the constraints, and needs to work outside the constraints for a specific reason. The mission is more important than the structure of society. However, the mission is not one to destr...

It is frequently seen online: a member of the Left will denigrate the Bible and God, Himself, using as their rationale the fact that God ordered "genocide." It is true that God ordered the Israelites to wipe out all the Canaanites, that much is not in dispute. But was it truly genocide? First, it was not genocide - the extermination of a racial group. Genetically speaking, the Israelites were Semitic people. Similarly, the Canaanites were Semitic people. All were descendants of Abraham. So, members of a race killing other members of a race does not fit the definition of genocide. The genetics would be maintained, just through the Israelites, and not the Canaanites. But why kill the Canaanites? Simple - their "society" had devolved into a culture of vile sexual offenses, child sacrifice, and the rejection of God.   Link to an essay  on this very subject matter. Among the vile sexual offenses: bestiality, incest, rape, homosexuality, etc. Child sacrifice was used as...

Seen on social media: Today in school we practiced our active shooter lockdown. One of my first graders was scared and I had to hold him. Today is his birthday. He kept whispering "When will it be over?" into my ear. I kept responding "Soon" as I rocked him and tried to keep his birthday crown from stabbing me. I had a mix of 1-5 graders in my classroom because we have a million tests that need to be taken. My fifth grader patted the back of the 2nd grader huddled next to him under a table. A 3rd grade girl cried silently and clutched the hand of her friend. The rest of the kids sat quietly (casket quiet) and stared aimlessly in the dark. As the"intruder" tried to break into our room twice, several of them jumped, but remained silently. The 1st grader in my lap began to pant and his heart was beating out of his chest, but he didn't make a peep. Eventually, the principal announced the lockdown was lifted. I turned on the lights, removed the table fr...

Protesters who do not know what they are protesting. Millennials may be the first generation to protest to have their rights taken away. Pictured is one protester whose total ignorance is made abundantly clear.  On this protester's pullover is a picture of a Spartan helmet, along with the phrase, molon labe . Molon labe was the phrase yelled by Spartan warrior king Leonidas. When told by his enemy to throw down his weapons,  Leonidas replied " molon labe " - come and take them. The clear sentiment was that his weapons would not be taken without a fight. The ignoramus pictured also holds a sign which reads, " NRA , there is blood on your hands ." The clear meaning is that she feels guns are evil and must be banned.  Of course, no NRA member has ever been the shooter in a mass murder.  The NRA doesn't sell guns.  Yet another sign at a protest. This time, the sign reads, "Donald Trump if your place of work is a gun free zone, then why isn'...

The Rifleman had said he would keep quiet about #FakeNews and #FakeChristian blog Pulpit and Pen and their apparent #mancrush on Pastor Greg Locke. Well, the cyberbullies at PP have sunk to a new low, and it must be brought to light.  On Thursday, March 15, Pastor Greg Locke spoke at a revival service held at Benchmark Church in Oliver Springs, TN, by invite.  PP had attempted to reach out in advance to the Pastor of Benchmark, with hopes of thwarting the revival sermon. Pastor Benjamin Blankenship of Benchmark made it abundantly clear that Pastor Locke would be welcome despite the false allegations. This attempt, by itself, is unwarranted and completely classless.  They took it a step further. No, not a step further... a mile further.  PP crossed lines that should never be crossed.  Gamma males doubled down and refused to accept life as it is.  Pulpit and Pen admin Tim Weakley showed up at Benchmark Church and disrupted the service. He was, understanda...

There are the people who "want" to be healthy, but do not want to eat right and exercise. There are those who want to be a(n) "XYZ," but won't attend classes. There are those who want money, but refuse to work for it. There are people who say they want freedom from the hand they were dealt in life but they refuse to do anything uncomfortable or unfamiliar to change their circumstances.  If you will not, it cannot be. You, my friend, have the key to your own personal prison.

Via Twitter RecceRifleman - #NationalWalkoutDay New pistol.  My 13 year old son got to break it in.  #2A #Libtard troll - He fits the profile of a school mass shooter perfectly and you post it? Disturbing. You need a license for everything in the country but guns and parents - one of those will change very soon. FYI - were not a patriarch. Things are changing and for the better. Get a grip. RecceRifleman - That's a negative, #Dipshit #Libtard 1. He is no beta-boy. 1. He is not fatherless. 1. He is not on psychotropic meds. 1. He is active in sports, extracurricular activities, and martial arts. 1. He has a fully functional patriarchal family. #LiberalismIsAMentalDisorder Link   to the Rifleman's  sources of this information.

How not to be "that guy" at your rifle class.  Note that the specific type of rifle class is not specified. Instead, this piece will focus on both marksmanship and tactical classes.  Hints for one will generally hold true with the other.  Bring the required equipment.  You wouldn't believe the number of people who do not bring simple things to a class (including a rifle!) that are plainly listed.  Make sure to make a list and check off each item as you pack it. Avoid steel cased ammo. "That Guy" will say, "but I'm going to shoot xxx rounds!!" And he will have issues all day. And he wonders why the other folks rifles are working fine.  Because his buddy had "no issues" with the same steel ammo.  Steel cased ammo is not accurate enough for marksmanship classes. Steel cased ammo is not reliable enough for tactical classes.  Hand loaded ammo falls in the same category.  Don't bring it.  For a marksmanship class, do not rely on f...

A woman files for divorce (they do over 75% of the time). But later, she drops the suit, saying she wants to reconcile.  How to proceed? Recall this article . THERE IS NO GOING BACK! The minute a person files divorce against you, they have no desire to get back together, I don't care what they say. They want to hurt you and they want to use the court system to do it. Any attempt at amicability should be viewed with extreme suspicion. Expect anything you say or do to be used against you. Expect them to lie about you in court. If they drop suit, you should counter-file. Its that simple.  They dropped the nuclear bomb, not you.  It's just your job to finish the job. And, if you're a pastor, it has nothing to do with not having your house in order.  Marriage as defined by the modern US legal system and marriage as defined by the Bible are two totally separate entities.

Is lying a sin? Do not give false testimony against your neighbor. Exodus 20:16 HCSB “You must not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked to be a malicious witness. “You must not follow a crowd in wrongdoing. Do not testify in a lawsuit and go along with a crowd to pervert justice.  Do not show favoritism to a poor person in his lawsuit. “If you come across your enemy’s stray ox or donkey, you must return it to him. “If you see the donkey of someone who hates you lying helpless under its load, and you want to refrain from helping it, you must help with it.  “You must not deny justice to a poor person among you in his lawsuit. Stay far away from a false accusation. Do not kill the innocent and the just, because I will not justify the guilty.  You must not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the clear-sighted and corrupts the words of the righteous. Exodus 23:1‭-‬8 HCSB All bitterness, anger and wrath, shouting and sl...

How do Civil Wars happen? Two or more sides disagree on who runs the country. And they can’t settle the question through elections because they don’t even agree that elections are how you decide who’s in charge. That’s the basic issue here. Who decides who runs the country? When you hate each other but accept the election results, you have a country. When you stop accepting election results, you have a countdown to a civil war. The Mueller investigation is about removing President Trump from office and overturning the results of an election. We all know that. But it’s not the first time they’ve done this. The first time a Republican president was elected this century, they said he didn’t really win. The Supreme Court gave him the election. There’s a pattern here. What do sure odds of the Democrats rejecting the next Republican president really mean? It means they don’t accept the results of any election that they don’t win....

From a "friend of a friend" via social media: I dare somebody to comment on this post about how bad chain migration is for this country. Or about how easy the immigration process has been for decades in the USA. Or about how we need tougher border agents. You don't know what it's like until you've been removed from a vehicle while border agents threaten to tear apart the trailer containing all your earthly possessions. You don't know what it's like to wait in an airport with your kid brother while border agents interrogate your mother for hours, making you late for your flight to catch up with your father who is already in the United States. You don't know what it's like to find out that your aunt is being detained for months away from her family. These are all real things that really happened to me and my pasty white law-abiding Canadian family members during their many years on their way to legal American citizenship.   I can't imagine wh...

It is said that every good story has a beginning, middle, and an end. Beginning The beginning of this story is really some important background information. It is important to know that as a practicing Sigma , The Rifleman has a really high DGAF  meter. The Rifleman also subscribes heavily to the three fundamental Alpha Responses. This one is an example of Agree & Amplify . Middle For this story, the middle shall consist of what happened. The Rifleman was in a sporting good store, and the cashier happened to be black. She was flanked buy a black co-worker. The Rifleman was paying for some ammunition... big surprise, huh? In the course of normal conversation, The Rifleman mentioned that he was planning to see the Black Panther movie. As if on cue, both (black) women raised a fist in the air, in the black power salute. Immediately, and without word, The Rifleman replied with a salute of his own: The Seig Heil salute. Naturally, both women were stunned. One with mouth ...

This is a review of the movie, Black Panther , a Marvel Comics superhero. The above meme covers the bulk of the Rifleman's political observations on the movie. The Rifleman would at this though, the primary bad guy in the movie was the so-called "Black Power" pedler. The acting was what you would come to expect from Marvel Comics movies. Same for the action. The action was good, not the best the Marvel has ever offered, but solid. Unlike Captain America: Civil War , this was not a superhero fest. While the so-called critics are giving this movie top marks, saying things like "innovative," "cutting edge," and "unlike any Marvel movie prior," the fact of the matter is that this movie is a typical introduce the new hero movie. In a typical introduce the hero movie, the hero is pitted against a villain who has similar attributes and powers. Iron Man had to face off against an evil man in an Iron Man type suit. Captain America had to ...

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle. - Sun Tzu With all of the talk of gun control lately, it is important to analyze the enemy, and prepare for the most likely courses of action. Naturally, the only enemies a gun has are rust and politicians. Dealing with rust is easy - it is preventative maintenance, clean and oil them regularly. Dealing with the politicians is a bit more problematic. So let's dive into the primary plan and The Back-up Plan. The primary plan is easy - it is unlikely that the House, the Senate, and the President all sign-off on gun control measures.  Sure, the Senate may pass something, because of all of the feckless #Cuckservative Republicans that are in the Senate. Only a third of the Senate is up for election in any given electio...

Seen on social media: I live in reality; where criminals don’t obey laws, gun control doesn’t stop mass murder, and “gun free zone” signs are ignored. A reality where there will always be someone bigger, stronger, and more violent, with a willingness or urge to kill or harm someone smaller and weaker than they are. I live in the USA; where the law may recognize we are born with equal rights, but owning a gun will keep it that way. So I own a gun. A gun for the protection of my right to life, liberty, and property; so I may defend my loved ones, my freedom, and what is mine, from any who would unlawfully take them away. If you don’t like that I own a gun, you’re welcome to come and take it. Bullets first.

Dick’s, Major Gun Retailer, Will Stop Selling Assault-Style Rifles From the article: One of the nation’s largest sports retailers, Dick’s Sporting Goods, said Wednesday morning it was immediately ending sales of all assault-style rifles in its stores. The retailer also said that it would no longer sell high-capacity magazines and that it would not sell any gun to anyone under 21 years of age, regardless of local laws. The announcement, made two weeks after the school shooting in Parkland, Fla., that killed 17 students and staff members, is one of the strongest stances taken by corporate America in the national gun debate. It also carries symbolic weight, coming from a prominent national gunseller. Vox Day weighs in : It will be interesting to see how long it takes him to change his tune. Notice how it is almost never the founders of companies who ever do anything this stupid? It's always heirs and infiltrators, which tends to demonstrate that those who do not create business...
