Might want to stock up on ammo while we can

I can say, IMHO, that the military will never turn on the citizens of this country. Serving for 26 years, there were a few command sit-downs discussing such matters, led by the CO and XO. To a person, not a single one of us, top to bottom, would obey such an unlawful order. To hell with the consequences.

I'm inclined to agree with you, but then I remembered Kent State University..........."Tin soldiers and Nixon coming, 4 dead in O-hi-o".....(Neil Young). Still sends chills down my spine and brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear that song.

Don't forget that this admin purged non-loyalists from the military. The ones who remain may be sadistic bass turds who can't wait to fire on civilians.

Maybe this thread is a sign. I went to the LGS today to fondle a 1911 I'd read about, and noticed they had Blazer .45ACP FMJ in a 1000 round box. I forget the price but it was reasonable. I really liked the 1911 I checked out, but I think I'll stick with the .45s I have and just buy more ammo.

What 1911 did you look at? Inquiring small minds want to know, ya know?

I doubled my ammo supply, NOW I have 2 boxes of ammo for each gun

I'm not panicking yet but I'm down to about half my normal stock .

Rock Island "Ultra" (double stack), GI style. It's not noticeably heavier than a normal 5", and the grip fills my hand better. 14+1 of 45, but for some ungodly reason they sell the GI with a 10 round mag. Their tacticool version comes with s 14 rounder. The GI sights are exactly that, no dots. Spur hammer and rat tail. Nice trigger.

The upgraded doublewides have good sights, whale tail, ambi safety, grooved front strap, huge flared magwell, and a rail. Bleah. Crisper trigger, but the GI trigger has a nicer face texture.

I don't need any more ammunition. Have more than enough to get through even them kid's like the Col's lifetime. Might buy some more, tho. Just as a hedge.

Does that include Bawanna's son?

There wouldn't have been any dead in Ohio had the students chosen to obey the law. They were read the riot act and were told to disburse. Instead they chose to disobey the law and back the national guard into a corner. The kids who died were the same age as the guardsmen who killed them.

I meant upper management, as you already know.

I bought some ammo this weekend, fairly inexpensive, and wondered why I'm buying ammo when I have a bunch and am not in dire need. I had to remind myself that just because it's cheap and plentiful now, doesn't mean I can get complacent.

Just bought a case of 9mm Blazer Brass over the weekend myself. $210.00 - not too bad. No deals on .45 though.

Do you think that Bawanna's son would follow those orders? I don't. I think that it's far more likely that our military would frag any officers who gave those orders.

True enough. That's one way to look at it. However they were just typical, dumb, un-armed college students who were trying to stick flowers into the muzzles of the NG rifles. Less lethal means could have been used. I'm sure the NG soldiers were terrified, and were caught between a rock and a hard place; they were ordered to fire on the students. I wasn't there (at Kent State), so I don't really know for sure, but I was in the military during Vietnam and I remember the insanity of that war and the insanity of the politicians who ran it. 60,000 US soldiers died for no good reason. It was a dark time for this country....

This kind of legislation will never come up for a vote with who controls house and senate.

All is temporary. 7 years ago The Democrats controlled both chambers of congress and The White House.

They took over our healthcare system in that window. The next window may be even more terminal.
