@iwriteok.bsky.social do you think we may get bipartisan gun control legislation coming down at one point?

Not in the way libs want but in a way that protects 2nd amendment rights for the rich and their protectors and not the everyman. I think as these things get worse they'll tighten down.

Been with my therapist for 7 years now. Happy to be better. It's constant maintenance but it helps.

Yeah I try to wait and learn facts before I make an opinion but this seemed like bullshit from the get go.

I feel like I've been saying this for over a decade but it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Say what you will about Charlie, he leaned left in the end.

Lol it's a complete mystery. Cops are so predictable.

Yup. The most important part of marksmanship is weapon familiarity. Make it muscle memory. That's the best way to get around nerves. If you're thinking about the shot and everything around you at the same time it's an order of magnitude more difficult. But then, even novices get lucky.

I'm not sure about marines. I was an army medic and learned to be an expert marksman from my infantry platoon. I was also a range safety officer for two years, taught a lot of people to shoot. I could probably get you hitting 300 meter targets in a few hours depending on how body aware you are.

I agree with you. Most likely it's someone with a good degree of experience. Hitting pop up targets is much different than shooting under pressure. My point was that it's more or less impossible to exclude/include anyone on the skill of the shot alone.

Army trains to shoot 300 meter targets with iron sights. If a private can do it literally anyone can with a couple afternoons of training.

She's not mine! I just happened to be the lucky attending Provider to meet her. I'm so glad you have a pupper companion to help you out!

Meet Lulu. She's trained to alert her father to cardiac events. She was a Good Girl today at the clinic.

Not to yuck anyone's yum but I do my best to stay out of Limsa if I can avoid it. I always feel like I need an adult when I'm there.

No Kings day in Bremerton was awesome! Everyone was so kind and supportive! Our little water station put out about 400 bottles of water! The whole thing was like a festival, music and dancing!

It's amazing what people in rural areas think what happens in cities. I did an ER rotation in rural Wyoming and people constantly would try to talk to me about how they thought Seattle was a wasteland of fires, drugs, and kidnappings.

It'd be awesome to see Dems realize getting arrested by the feds is a good flex for reelection. I'll definitely vote for someone who put their freedom on the line for their constituency.

The Libs desperately don't want to talk about this. It shows that their goals are more congruent with the Republicans than they portray.

Lol. They're just gonna push that narrative anyway. The cops start violence and they blame it on the peaceful protests. You keep banging your head against the wall doing the same thing and they keep carving everything away piece by piece.

How long do you suggest that people roll over and be kicked?

Ill be out in Bremerton with a water/aid station by the mannette Bridge. Would love to see you there.

There are... a lot of problems with that as well. It's war. By nature of just being there innocent people die.
I thoroughly believe the cops in LA have less regard for life than we did at war.

hurt someone and they weren't actively engaging you in combat. You'd be sent to prison.

I was a US Army Infantry medic in Baghdad in 07 to 09.
I won't defend what we did there. What we did in Iraq was awful.
But my point was, with all that context, an infantry private has more discipline and restraint than your average veteran cop. There were consequences in the army if you [1]

A 19 year old army private has better rules of engagement, discipline, and judgement than these fuckers.

It makes me think of the recent Behind the Bastards episodes on Carl Shmitt. A nazi philosopher that stated that to dismantle Democracy all one has to do is find the limits of it. The outgroups; immigrants, LGBT, etc and push inwards. People give up their own freedoms to stop others from having them

We shout freedom while actively crushing people who demand it.
