I can only wonder at what's becoming of the character of the people. But I worry about the tactics I see described. The 500 meter war? That will only invite artillery or air support. Closing with the hostiles seems like a better choice. <br /><br />It's been said that the US Military spends most of its time planning to re-fight the last war; free citizens who wish to stay that way should not plan to re-fight the Boer war. Attention must be paid to modern weapons concepts. Directed energy weapons? Well, even a microwave oven could be converted to a short range DEW. Imagine a stick of 6 - 8 hostiles blowing a door and making a "tactical entry" SWAT style, perhaps to implement some governments cancellation of the second amendment. Now imagine them all going blind as they do so, even if they've cut the power to the house. That's something your local freedom oriented science nerd could set up easily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-20490884601665619162010-11-19T10:38:14.681-06:002010-11-19T10:38:14.681-06:00"A rifle, 20 rounds of ammunition, and the wi..."A rifle, 20 rounds of ammunition, and the will to use it."
