CBS News did a great piece on new gun owners, and focused it on African Americans and people of color who have come together to arm themselves, because the police can't, or won't, or would be the ones brutalizing them. https://youtu.be/DBUOQIhsldU The more leftist and POC gun owners we get into the firearms community, the better.

Iraq's Prime Minister just survived an assassination attempt - 3 drones with explosives strapped to them tried to blow him up. 2 were shot down by either AA assets or his personal security detail.

Moderna Booster Trip Report: I got the Pfizer vaccine in January and didn't have any issues other than feeling tired and having a sore arm. Yesterday I got the Moderna booster and felt fine. I woke up today feeling a little tired, pushed through and did a light workout. Then around 12 I felt extremely exhausted and took a nap. I woke up feeling like I got run over by a truck and thrown into a frozen lake - body aches, weakness, and freezing cold. I climbed back into bed and threw on sweats and the heavy blankets, and have been taking tylenol every four hours and drinking a gently caress ton of Gatorade. Be warned - definitely get ready, and have tons of Gatorade and tylenol ready, just in case your side effects are as bad as mine are. I know a few people who got Moderna boosters, and all they had was a sore arm and fatigue. Your mileage may vary.

Hyrax Attack! posted:Yeah overall it’s a fun read but dang there are some low points. Like the swamp ghost visiting the airplane pilot or the cringe stuff where the USC students start fighting as Spartans, or the Japanese shut in student who becomes a martial arts champ by learning from an blind master. The last act felt a bit too neat and tidy, with the army having bite proof uniforms and mowing down zombies with fire ammo. Wish there’d been a twist like long term infected becoming more dangerous or mutating. Max Brooks knows literally nothing about the military or firearms. The "Battle of Yonkers" could have been written so much better if he had even a basic understanding of the military, modern tactics, etc. Oh and lmao at a HE incindiary round being mass produced by whatever was left of the ammo industry. If you've ever read the Zombie Survival Guide, you'll see that his knowledge of ammo, firearms, and anything to do with them is typical of a liberal writer who only thinks rednecks, hicks, and cops and the military should have guns. The highlights of the book (WWZ), were, for me, the style of how it was written, and the hints of what happened elsewhere in the world. Also the story of people trying to escape to the north, the boat people, and the Russian section.

The hosed up thing is that almost no two agencies had comms with each other.

Problematic Soup posted:I mean, it’s not completely terrible in isolation, but it definitely has a strong conservative slant, and that’s kind of the rub when you have people in power in the republican party who are basically dogwhistling the whole “free helicopter rides for communists” poo poo, or whatever john bircher retread poo poo that the q people are cooking up. Subscribe to their YouTube channel. He's definitely conservative, but he only really brings up religion. Like saying things like "spiritual fitness is making sure you never leave home angry or with things unsaid to loved ones, and making sure you're ready to meet your maker." That's a bit much but I can agree with part of it. You'll learn a lot about use of force incidents (and critiques / analysis) for police and for citizens. Lot of badge cam / dash cam / security camera videos. Their second channel, Active Self Protection Extra is all about training and learning how to be a better self defender. Be warned that he's very pro police, but does call out when they're in the wrong. Watching his channel for the last few years, I've learned a lot - both about police use of force and how to be a better self defender. Like any competent, knowledgeable, and good self defense instructor, he always says that not putting yourself in a bad place in the first place, or running is the best option if you have it. He says things like "any good, sane, sober, moral person would X or Y." He's very religious, too, so that turns me off a bit. But you can't find a better channel if you want to be a better self defender. It also shows way more justifiable uses of force (deadly or otherwise) by police or private citizens than people here might realize happen. Daily videos where objectively people are coming at cops or private citizens with knives or who are pointing guns at them. Bored As Fuck fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Nov 12, 2021 |

^^^ Yeah those loving morons are hilarious. They get the comparison with putting on a seatbelt, or having smoke detectors, or fire extinguishers, or even a med kit or flat tire kit. Somehow they don't want to wear a mask until they're on a vent and dying. There's a subreddit called r/HermanCainAward for anti science chuds who drank the Flavor Aid and post a poo poo ton of bullshit on FB and then their last post is asking for prayers for themselves or their family member, or the last post is notifying people of their death.

Best Friends posted:When my unit was deactivated I went from patrolling the streets of ramadi to living in my hometown US city in about 6 weeks, and very regular things got me very amped up and feeling like I needed a weapon. I could feel the siren call of becoming a gun guy, jumping into the welcoming arms of a multi billion dollar industry that sells its product with a culture of constant fear and constant ideation of lethal circumstances. I'm v glad I resisted that and think if I had turned down that path my odds of offing myself or God forbid feeling like I needed to "defend myself" would have been much higher. You do realize that knowing self defense techniques, or carrying a gun, or knowing BJJ, or whatever, is just like having a seatbelt or having a fire extinguisher in the house to the vast majority of these people? It's not their whole personality, or their whole life, it's just a part of their routine. I am glad to hear that you are doing better. But It doesn't need to be an all or nothing thing. Also, historically minorities could not depend on protection from anyone, so they armed themselves in order to protect themselves from racists and bigots. There are a few books about how after Reconstruction, and all through the civil rights era, blacks have defended themselves from terror attacks by arming themselves, because they couldn't count on the police. Sometimes the police were involved in those attacks, especially in the south. That's true even now in many areas. Since Trump was elected, the amount of leftists arming themselves has risen dramatically. The LGBTQ+ community is also arming themselves, and they should, because they are MUCH more likely to be targeted for hate crimes and murder than the average citizen. Let's not have chuds, the alt right, and white supremacists be the only ones who are armed. Bored As Fuck fucked around with this message at 01:43 on Nov 12, 2021 |

pantslesswithwolves posted:I totally get your point but the flip side is that if there’s one lesson that all of these videos teach you it’s that you do not want to be in a situation where you feel compelled to use lethal force, ever. I would rather swallow my pride and lose every argument, surrender my wallet, or run for my life than draw a weapon and fire it because the consequences of the former three examples I gave are dwarfed by the potential legal, financial and psychological consequences of the latter. If you come away from any kind of firearms instruction thinking “Hell yeah, no thug’s gonna get the drop on me and I wish one would try!” then you’re an aspiring Rittenhouse or some other shitbag chud in the making. Exactly this. If you carry a weapon, for work or personal protection, it behooves you to become as proficient as possible with that weapon, and know when to shoot, and when not to. It behooves you to dry fire, practice drawing so it becomes second nature, and take training classes from people who know their poo poo and aren't some fly by night moron poser. To have proficiency in situations where you're in an adrenaline dump, so you do training that includes force on force with simunitions. To be accurate with your weapon, so you don't shoot like you're in the NYPD. I'd say a majority of open carry or even concealed carry chuds don't train enough with their firearms, and use it like they use their trucks - to pose, to make themselves feel better about themselves. To feel like a "man." But a real man knows exactly what you said - it takes a man to walk away, to do everything they can to either leave a situation or deescalate a situation, before using force as a last resort only. Every single competent instructor I've been trained by, whether BJJ or firearm, has reinforced this.

SMEGMA_MAIL posted:Who hasn’t abandoned a AFSOC guy to die once or twice and then tried to cover it up while touting their heroism. All because DevGru assholes wanted in on the action Delta was doing and succeeding in during Op Anaconda. Pete Blaber, overall commander of JSOC in Op Anaconda, had sent his recce teams out in similar mountains to get used to the environment they'd be working in. "Environmental intelligence" and all that. Those Delta and TFO / ISA guys put in a lot of work, studied the terrain, studied the history of the area, studied battle tactics with books like The Bear Went Over the Mountain, about Soviet tactics, and The Other Side of the Mountain, about Afghan Mujahideen tactics during the Soviet-Afghan War. They did intelligence preparation of the battlefield, were prepped and kitted out for the harsh terrain and weather. 2 Delta recce / combat combat controller teams went in on foot, and one went in on modified ATVs with custom mufflers that made them as silent as possible. They set up on the high ground around the Shahi Kot valley. They basically saved the operation that was done by SF A Teams with indig Afghans working as the hammer on the west side, and 101st air assault on the east side of the valley working as the anvil. Only problem was that the hundreds of Al Qaeda guys weren't in the valley - they were in the mountains. The SF Teams and 101st guys were getting mortared and hosed up until the Delta recce teams called in accurate as gently caress fires on top of the AQ assholes. Then the SEALs feel butt hurt about not getting in on the action (even though Blaber had included a limited number of SEALs to the mission already(, so Blaber gets side stepped and overruled by the overall commander of the Operation. Then, due to weather and mechanical issues with a helo, the DevGru element wasnt able to be infiltrated at night at their HLZ on the bottom of Takur Gar. The plan was to insert onto the bottom slopes of Takur Gar, then walk on foot to the top of the mountain, with the best, most commanding view of the entire valley. The delays cost them the darkness, and the DevGru element leader wanted to push it back another day so they could go in at night. He was overruled, and so they were to be inserted onto the top of Takur Gar. Inserted directly onto their OP. loving useless SEALs never learn. Between this and Operation Red Wings, the loving SEALs should never be allowed to pick where they're Inserted. They got hosed up, SEAL Neil C. Roberts either jumped or fell off the helo, and the rest of the clusterfuck started from there. Good books on the issue: Not A Goor Day to Die, by Sean Naylor The Men, the Mission, and Me, by Pete Blaber (Delta officer in charge of AFO / the JSOC element of Op Anaconda) Robert's Ridge, Malcolm McPherson Bored As Fuck fucked around with this message at 15:36 on Nov 17, 2021 |

MazelTovCocktail posted:They really might want to consider rolling back the Seals. For comedy value tell them that Marine Recon will take over their duties, "Because we trust the crayon eaters to do far less war crimes and shithead behavior then you." Believe it or not but MARSOC could fit that bill well. They're a mix between Rangers and SF, with a heavy focus on Foreign Internal Defense as their primary mission. https://coffeeordie.com/raiders-vs-special-forces/ I don't know anyone in MARSOC, but from what I've read they have modeled their qualification course after the SF Q course. As much as we lambast Marines for loving Crayola, I'd bet money that the average MARSOC operator is far and above more intelligent than the average SEAL.
