gun way bushido
Bushido is all very well in its way, but it is no match for a 30-06.
hurt cutting men
In all history the only bright rays cutting the gloom of oppression have come from men who would rather get hurt than give in.
jobs hero men
'Heroism' is not the same as coping. A man who does his job properly and succeeds through his own efforts is definitely to be commended, but he is not a hero in the classic sense until he deliberately lays his life on the line for a cause he deems to be greater than himself.
thinking answers self-defense
Now how do we cultivate an aggressive response? I think the answer is indignation... Your response, if attacked, must not be fear, it must be anger.
speed salvation self-defense
Therefore, if you are attacked, retaliate instantly. Be sudden. Be quick. Speed is your salvation.
wise men hysteria
We are somewhat amused by the hysteria manifest in the press at the suggestion by Gordon Liddy that if one is menaced by bad guys (particularly the ninja) one is wise to shoot for the head. That statement has got a whole bunch of journalists and commentators bleeding from the nose. One wonders why it should. Where else should you shoot a man if he is probably wearing an armored vest? If you decide to shoot you have made the big decision. Where you place your shot is merely a technical matter.
hurt gun feelings
It seems that the concealed carry policy now in effect in 30 states is unfair to goblins. They cannot tell who is armed and who is not, and when their intended victim shoots back it hurts their feelings - along with other things.
gun men views
It has long been my conviction that a masked man with a gun is a target. I see no reason to change that view.
self long doe
Anger, as long as it is controlled anger, is no obstacle to efficiency. Self-control is one thing the sociopath does not usually possess. Use yours to his undoing.
morning people long
At long last I have discovered that most shooters are not interested in firearms as tools, but rather as toys. Such people do not acquire their weapons because of what they will do, but rather to gratify the "Christmas morning joy" that we largely left behind in our childhood.
believe gun sight
We thought everybody knew by now that barrel length has almost nothing to do with accuracy. I believe the myth of the superior accuracy of a long rifle dates from colonial days, when the only way to extend sight radius was to make the barrel as long as possible. It is interesting how long it takes a myth to die.
self-defense precision ifs
Under any sort of attack, keep cool. And if you must shoot, shoot with precision.
essence speed combat
Speed is the absolute essence of any form of combat
mistake government slavery
[T]he only thing the United States government ever did about slavery was to abolish it. Perhaps that was a mistake, but I do not feel inclined to apologize for it.
