Quick question, apologies in advance if that has been addressed... Have you received *any* marksmanship training or coaching at all, at a range, under the tutelage of someone who can credibly claim to be a knowledgeable shooter? A custom rifle that's tuned, tarted-up and tricked-out to the...

Buddy of mine had one; not a bad piece, but not quite H&K's best offering. A little hard to come by, and a bit pricey.

[CONT'D] ...a history of serious mental illness. Thus, the blame falls to Adam Lanza, with a larger share to his mother. Reckless/careless firearms handling is to blame, as it is for most of these "tragedies." But it wouldn't be nice to pick on the crazy kid or his dead mother, and neither...

Actually, an AR-15 *was* used in the shootings. It was initially reported that Lanza had two handguns (a Glock and a Sig Sauer) and a shotgun, and left an AR-15 in the trunk of his car. It was later verified that he was carrying an AR-15 and had a shotgun in the trunk. That said: demonizing...

CZ does make a hell of a good piece. They get much love by the gun press but for some reason gets nothing but blank stares if you mention them. Sig Sauer makes outstanding pistols in just about every size and caliber you may want. They are pricey, but if you can find a shop that carries...

If this is a problem for you regardless of the type/manufacturer of rifle you're using, you're probably holding it wrong. I'd say try snapping the stock into your shoulder a little further in towards your chest. Or-- more likely-- hold it so as to raise the sights up to eye level instead of...

Who did we assign "subhuman" status to and bomb to inspire the 1993 WTC attack, the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing, the 1998 embassy bombings in Kenya aNd Tanzania, the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen, and the 9/11 attacks in 2001? How does hating America factor into ISIS slaughtering Iraqis...

Actually, it concided with a rise in factional fighting between Islamic sects, ethnic groups, clans, and political entities that wasn't there before because Saddam kept them in line by slaughtering any of the aforemetioned in droves if they rocked the boat. Alas, with Iraq being relatively...

Former Marine, '87 to '91. We did a little hand-to-hand at Parris Island, to include some bayonet fighting which we were supposed to apply in pugil stick fights with other training platoons. We didn't have MCMAP and such then, can't comment on that. But it's hardly important.Martial arts...

Yep. To the threadstarter: if it's a good school, my advice would be to pay attention to the instructor and the senior students. If *they* know what they're doing, you will too if you pay attention and put the work in. Overall: TKD has suffered greatly from its own success; lots of...

What are you talking about? WTF/USTU-rules TKD = Olympic-rules TKD, which is obviously *NOT* "point-stop." That would be ITF.

Contrary to what clueless/pompous assclowns that are proliferate in Rolling Stone specifically, and the gun-control crowd in general, believe...there's no such freakin' thing as a "high-powered assault rifle." Also: being wrong all the time regarding a certain subject, and knowing nothing about...

Okay, seriously... I get my news from a profusion of sources on the 'Net, and some print media. Sort through it all, try and develop an informed opinion. Most news media are in the business of telling you all about what's happening **RIGHT NOW;** they therefore tend to give a picture filtered...

Like all knowing, right-minded American intellectuals who are way smarter than everyone who disagrees with me, I am perfectly aware that things like "sensationalism," "editorial bias,"and "cultural/ideological slant" are unique and entirely limited to American journalism. Thus, I mostly rely on...

So....the possibility that Saddam had WMD was a "false accusation" that the Bush Administration "drummed up" to provide a pretext for invading Iraq, and a number of countries (France and Germany at very least, anway) knew this...but went ahead anyway and backed a resolution stating that Saddam...

[CONT'D] ...then yanked that one and changed it to "fighting insurgents" is simply not true. Whatever the stated objectives were, removing Saddam was mandatory. Going to the trouble of staging a massive multi-national military incursion into Iraq and removing Saddam's entire regime, only to...

The Bush Administration proffered a number a justifications for invading Iraq; seizing WMD stockpiles and the apparatus to produce them was one, regime change was another. Those which were thought to bear the greatest weight of importance we given the most attention when making the case for war...

[CONT'D] ...expect to find in the possession of combatents in a war zone. The idea that they were sent to blow up the mosque and/or other targets was a rumor spawned by Iraqi agitators, a common occurance in the wake of ugly incidents in occupied Iraq. The mosque bombing was carried out by...

[CONT'D]You know all about this-- the bombings, the arrest of the SAS operators who perpetrated the crime, and the dramatic raid by British troops that sprung their comrades-- because it was all reported by "the mainstream press." [by "mainstream press," I assume you mean the entity that you...

[CONT'D] [ALSO: given that the British SAS are world-reknowned masters of covert operation, it's logical to assume they'd dispatch two obviously-not-Iraqi guys in a disguise that's about as inconspicuous as the sandwich-board sign emblazoned with the slogan "I HATE NI**ERS" worn by Det. John...
