    Reminds us of what "make america great, again" really references in terms of the time period they want.
    We are basically arming our own IRA, yeah. When the rubber meets the road we presumably have law enforcement or national guard or if all else fails the actual military, but hey guess what political ideology dominates all those groups?

    The Rwanda genocide started because of radio stations broadcasting to extremists that they should rise up and kill. If there's a right wing coup d'etat attempt here it will probably be orchestrated the same way. God only knows if those listeners have been so desensitized by decades of Rush and Coulter and LaPierre and CPAC and InfoWars that they're capable of actually going out and slaughtering their neighbors. Hopefully we'll never find out.

      That sounds like my father (and his retired recon Marine best friend).

      Kinda tough learning to shoot rifle and handgun from guys that miss (meaning outside the 8 ring) once a month or so.

        By pure luck I hit dead center with the very first 3 shots I ever fired in my life (albeit at the shortest kiddy distance possible) before I gradually pulled off to the right and then overcompensated and lost the target completely. It was an Italian WW2 carbine, beautiful but heavier than I can imagine carrying in the Alps to try to shoot Hemingway or whatever. Mark looked at me kinda funny like "have you been f-cking with me all these years?" until actual ability and experience kicked in.

        It was a glorious thirty seconds, though.

          You started thinking about what you were doing instead of just doing.
          It happens to my golf game every spring too: First round out I'm Jack Nicklaus; second round out the brain tries to repeat what I'd done and people in the surrounding fairways are taking cover.

            That "ping" when the clip empties is accurately depicted in (I forget which one now) a video game I used to play.
