To get a larger perspective of the war read: This Kind of War by Theodore Reed Fehrenbach, Jr. Excellent read.

So basically: the 45 is better than the 9, magazine capacity is not strategic, recoil is a mental issue, and a keep firm grip on your weapon. Interesting.

Well, I suppose so if he turns on the lights and starts opening cabinets in my summer kitchen; however, the 20 round magazine is in the drawer.

”The main reason for a pistol is so you can fight your way to your rifle"? Well my Mossburg 500 and M1911 are in the bedroom. My M1A Tanker is in the kitchen. My M1A NM is in the den. My wife and I can both shoot well. The 308 and 45 have proven themselves to stop the bad guy. I sleep...

I am not happy with Washington. Americans are held hostage and we are letting Israel do the work. I had Marine brothers die in Beirut in ’83 and we responded with the USS Iowa. We need to make it very clear to Hamas turn over the American hostages or prepare for action. We are the 300 pound...
