I have been to Europe several times and spent several months there, mostly in Ireland; but not in the last two decades. What I know of rape gangs and pedo cults is all from the news. I watch a lot of news from Canada, the UK and Australia because they offer interesting perspectives of the US we...

Huge changes in 61 ships. Of note, the 400i has regained its title as the largest and most capable stealthable ship with the replacement of its second reactor. It was not really possible to fly it on a single stealth reactor so stealth went away when CIG took its second reactor. Now it is...

It’s all in good fun to make these jokes, but I would point out to those finger-pointing toward Americans over the fact we allow self defense, that just as you look down on the notion of an armed citizenry, we look down on how you have seemingly lost your civilization altogether. When Americans...

Back to the issue, one really nice thing about modern FLIR is that you can actually see footsteps after the fact. I dunno if this tiny unit is capable of this, but I’d love to find out. Imagine you’re a cop chasing a thug down a blind alley and could actually see where he ran. That is an Uber...

Well, Massad Ayoob is the guy who used to teach “blind fighting” back in the 80’s. I would not be surprised to learn he dropped that name since “indexing” is more accurate, but that’s what I was referring to. It’s dicey, and in general a last resort, IMHO. The problem I see with thermal is, it...

Yeah, the jab almost killed me. I had an 11” blood clot lodged in my aorta that had to be dissolved over months, and attempts to put my heart back into sinus rhythm have only lasted a day. So my life is utterly changed. My father also got CHF and died from it a few months ago, and my twin had...

<< Do you feel a lesser man without a gun?>> A serious question deserves a serious answer. I do not own any guns. When I lived in Oregon I was a sporting shooter and big game hunter, but about 30 years ago when I returned to NJ, I sold all my guns. The laws here were not conducive to...

You sound angry. All I can tell you is that with a history of an extremely well-armed citizenry—more guns than gun owners—the kinds of shooting you’re suggesting are exceedingly rare. The cases of thugs in nightclubs firing on others are fewer than the knife attacks in the UK, in a country with...

They don’t give you the ability to see a darkened target. A flashlight will, but this exposes your position. Thermal allows you to see the target without necessarily being seen.

I agree people care less about drug dealers killing each other than they would otherwise, but there is a lot of collateral damage. It’s pretty common for the Cripps or the Bloods to drive by the home of a rival gang member and shoot up the neighborhood, and innocents get hit pretty often. In...
