Until you put gas in a weed wacker and try to start it…..

I wondered if I was mistaken, and if that was the state motto. I wasn’t mistaken….It isn’t. The state motto is “Sic Semper Tyrannis”…death unto tyrants.

Perhaps the incoming (mostly Democrat) state government members might remember that motto.

I expect that if they don’t remember, or choose to ignore it, then things might get all “Rodeo” when they try to keep the promise they made to remove certain “bad” firearms from the people of Virginia

Thing is, like every middle eastern country, the natives are big on threats and rhetoric and short on action.

And, in the end, if we are so worried about terror threats here in the US from middle eastern folks, then maybe we oughta start tossing them out if we are so afraid of threats. (Note that I am not saying we should toss all immigrants, just those that are known to DHS and might be threat, be they citizens or not)

One more thing: Iran has been an opponent of the US for monger than many of my readers have been alive….Ever since the Shah was deposed (and possibly since even before that). Ever since Jimmeh Carter had a cowards approach to the invasion of our embassy there and subsequent embassy prisoner debacle in 1979, they have been an enemy of the US. 

Pretty much this message:

Only Career Diplomats can handle the job. Without them, diplomacy can’t happen.
These people DESERVE the jobs they have. It’s not fair to just fire them.  (He forgets that Barry Obama fired ALL of Bush’s ambassadors shortly after taking office).
It takes a trained Career Diplomat to do the job. (forgetting that nearly every president has appointed people he feels can be relied to speak for the President, often acquaintances or respected figures from business)

The final line in this screed:
“We Deserve Better”.  As if being a diplomat somehow makes one special.
And that, right there, is why we need to clean house.

What caliber did he use?

.357 Sig.
Not 9mm, not .40, not even .45 ACP.

.357 Sig.
(Pretty much the ballistics of a .357 magnum in an auto style cartridge).
(ok, not exactly, but close…..forget the minutiae here and concentrate)

Mass matters, but velocity matters as well.

The .357 Sig delivers a pretty good combination of both.

Is there a perfect cartridge for defense? Probably not. But the .357 is probably one of the cartridges on the “ideal” category.
Would a 9mm have done the job? Maybe. .40? Likely. .45? Most probably.
Placement matters as well, and by all accounts, his aim was good and his placement was spot on.

What you carry is your choice. I want a cartridge/bullet/firearm combination that helps me to get the job done should I ever need to. (and I hope and pray that I am never in the position he found himself….but that I can do as well if I am). 

(I can’t back this up anywhere, so take it for what it is worth)

Seems that he and his boss met with Barry Obama as guests

But you likely won’t hear that on CBSMSNBCABC. (as yourself why not??)

And yet the current DNC meme is that Trump is a puppet of Putin, yet we have LOTS of evidence that Barry was the puppet of the Islamic leadership.
