My Letter to the Trump Protesters

Open Letter to All The Trump Protesters

Dear Protesters,

FUCK YOU

Little facts about the AR-15 and Survival in Today's World

1. It is not an "assault rifle". There are no such things as "assault rifles" that is a made up phrase by fear mongers

2. No, the AR does not mean Assault Rifle. It stands for Armalite Rifle... The name of the company that developed the platform in the 1950's

3. It was not a military caliber... It was adopted by the military after it was popular as a small game/varmint round due to low cost of the ammo

4. It was not adopted as a "killing" round. Granted it will, can, and does kill; however, the military thought (contrary to most popular belief) isn't kill everything in war. The belief is that if you shoot a combatant and cause injury that combatant is out of the war. The low cost and availability enables the military to carry thousands of rounds when needed to accomplish the task, and yes they can kill with it also. 

5. Ya know an AR-15 bullet ain't much bigger in diameter than a .22?? Weird

6. An AR-15 isn't a machine gun. It's rate of fire is only as fast as the person using it can pull the trigger... One pull, one bullet.

7. Pistols carry the same number of rounds if you choose the correct pistol

8. There weren't this many shootings in the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's and the AR-15 has been a consistent firearm throughout all those decades. Focus on what we have done lately to cause the issues and not the gun. The gun hasn't changed..

9. When everyone blames the gun, you are enabling psychopathic behavior.

You allow psychopaths to continue to believe their actions are not at fault. It's the gun. Blame the shooters. Blame the people. Do not make the martyrs or social heroes.

 Take the guns away? How does that stop someone from killing? Look in the areas of our country with strictest gun control and you will find the highest violent crime. 

Look at how our nation victimized our police force over the past decade. 

Look at where the attacks take place. Soft targets where no guns are present.

Biggest thing is, stop being a whiny ass "guns kill people" drum beating, tree hugging, I can't accept the world so I will fix it with hugs kind of moron.

Stop justifying the acts as the gun did it.

Stop avoiding the root cause.

We have allowed the pussification of our country to continue down a path that we have become easy targets. 

We help those that attack us so we aren't seen as evil.

We refuse to attack the terrorist where they live because we allow the media to follow every military action as if it were a reality show.

War sucks. People die and it's horrific. But the attacks we face are more horrific as they are attacking non combatant civilians and the issues continue due to our not responding accordingly. 

Everyone was in an uproar over which damn bathroom someone should use, now this fucktard thinks he can be a martyr or other kind of hero to attack a gay nightclub. He knew it was an easy target and he took advantage of it and he chose to do it in the name of ISIS while America focused on a gender issue.

Your calls of let the police handle everything?? That's just ludicrous.. The police are nothing more than a Quick Reaction Force.. They show up after the fact and respond as they can once the chaos is over. Why? Mostly because people say you can't profile or be proactive and if you do they get sued. When a thug attacks our police and they have to defend themselves, they are sued, chastised and people riot their own neighborhoods in protest.. 

Fucking idiots.

Aaaand our government watches.... Sees it happens and investigates the innocent.

You cannot let all hell be created around you and get upset when the hell hits your door.

Arm yourself.. Learn to use your firearm. Practice, train, be ready... Learn to survive. This day and age survival isn't in the woods or mountains trying to live off the grid.

That's easy.

Survival isn't about the zombie apocalypse or even a government takeover. That's all bullshit.

Survival today is going to work, going to eat, shopping or just spending a day with your family in public and making it home alive because some douchebag feels empowered by the misguided ideology that he can kill and be famous..

Think that's crazy??? 

Why was the Boston Marathon Bomber on the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine???

Don't ask me about Politics... Pay Attention

I have purposely avoided anything political this season and still some wish to inbox or text questioning my views...

This baffles me.. Before anyone does this lets understand a few things.

Look at yourself first.

I watch as some post about certain items then post opposition to the candidates that actually support the items you post about, all the while promoting the ones that don't. Take a good look at yourself first and really think about what you want out of life and investigate who you will vote for based off the way you live. 

That's what I do.

For those that know anything about me, I've always been a workaholic; majority of my life working two full time jobs. I have three bulging discs in my lower back, I destroyed my ankle 20 years ago which makes a simple task like WALKING difficult at best, on a good day. 

And I go to work. 

I have been offered disability ratings from doctors and the cool blue handi-tag so I can park closer but, refused them because I don't believe I need it just yet. 

Now, that's not to say I don't believe in welfare and disability. I do. If you NEED something, use it. However, if you are able bodied and just looking for everyone else to pay your way.... There's your problem.

Don't talk to me about healthcare and how much it costs as you post pictures of elective surgeries and trips to the Bahamas or Paris or whatever..

When I'm not at work I spend my off time with something family, even if it's just being in the house so I can listen to them laugh, argue, or whatever.

If I am actually off and my family is working/schooling/etc., I may actually grab a rifle and go hunting. I may grab a pistol and go to the range for some practice, I may work on the many items I need to fix around the house, or I may do absolutely nothing. 

Yes, I believe it's ok to own and posses a firearm. I will defend that right as if you were trying to take anything I own. A car, knives, anything. I bought them, I know how to use them, and quite honestly I can kill you with a pencil or folded magazine if I feel it's warranted. So try and ban those while you're at it.

I have been raised and I have raised my kids to be passive as possible. To be tolerant of others. However, I have also told them that even though I do not believe they need to live a violent lifestyle, I do believe that they need to be prepared. If anyone believes our society is becoming more peaceful as time goes on, you are not very much on situational awareness. So if violence comes to the door, I have instructed and helped to prepare them to be the most violent person/thing in the room. That is the only answer when violence knocks. 

You cannot negotiate or rationalize with the irrational; so you do your best to eliminate it and keep yourself and your family safe.

I also believe in God and Jesus Christ.. I don't post a bunch about it since I don't believe I should push my beliefs on others. I am ordained, I can perform your wedding, your last rights, or we can just chat about issues that are troubling you and I can do my best to guide you. I don't believe in big churches or someone feeling as if they need to give to a church to go to heaven. I have extreme issues walking into a church and seeing "cliques" or everyone dressing up for that one day... God sees you every day as you are. You shouldn't have to dress up to impress the people who are supposed to be there for God, not to judge how you dressed. 

So before anyone wants to talk about politics or why I intend to vote for who I am voting, just pay attention to the life I live. If you do that, you know where I stand. And yeah, I believe if everyone went to work, as I do, took care of your family, as I do, and just found the happiness that surrounds you, (as I try to do) then we would all be good. 

So maybe if you voted for the same people, we could fix this shithole of a country we have become and we could all get along.

That's my two cents..
