RECCE ROOM

With the failed attempt on President Trump's life, there has been much written and said about the killer, the weapon used, etc. Of course, within the "gun guy" communities, there are many myths propagated.  Naturally, I do not condone the actions. Also, statements by people on our side can be stupid. We need to curtail them.  One such: "So, I consider myself a decent shooter. But 152yrds, I’m not gonna try to use the AR for accurate shots. There are much better choices out there. Definitely sounds like an Antifa nut job." A typical AR-15, getting 3 MOA from a 55 grain load. At 150 yards, that is 4.5 inches. The "average" human head is about 7 inches wide by 9 inches high. A 4.5 inch window is more than accurate enough to make that shot. An accurized AR and better ammo would yield much better results - perhaps even a 1 inch group or less at that distance.  Another, from the opposite point of view: "In the USMC we qualified at 500 yards iron sights....

Seen on social media lately: "So there was an assassination attempt on a former President, and the only debate is whether Law Enforcement and Secret Service were in on it or whether they were incompetent."   Regardless of which it is, and because both are quite possible, we must take a logical approach: We must assume law enforcement at all levels are either corrupt, or incompetent. When it comes to "serving and protecting" We The People, there is no appreciable difference in the outcome we will see. 

  It's America Eve And the air is thick with the smell of gunpowder. It smells like... FREEDOM!
