I had a dream the other night that, well, I didn't understand. A figure walked in through the mist with a flintlock in his hand. His clothes were torn and dirty as he stood there by my bed. He took off his three-cornered hat and, speaking low to me, he said, we've fought a revolution to secure our liberty. We wrote the Constitution as a shield from tyranny. For future generations, this legacy we gave. In this, the land of the free. and home of the brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. But tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. In this, the land of the free and home of the brave. You buy permits to travel and permits to own a gun. Permits to start a business or to build a place for one. On land that you believe you own, you pay a yearly rent. Although you have no voice in saying how the money's spent, your children must attend a school that doesn't educate, and your Christian values can't be taught according to the state. You read about the current news in a regulated press, and you pay a tax you do not owe to please the IRS. Your money is no longer made of silver nor of gold. You trade your wealth for paper so your life can be controlled. You pay for crimes that make our nation turn from God and shame. You've taken Satan's number. You've traded in your name. You've given government control to those who do you harm so they could burn down churches and seize the family farm and keep our country deep in debt. Put men of God in jail. Harash your fellow countrymen while corrupted courts prevail. Your public servants don't uphold the solemn oaths they've sworn. and your daughters visit doctors so their children will be born. Your leaders send artillery and guns to foreign shores and send your sons to slaughter fighting other people's wars. Can you regain the freedoms for which we fought and died? Or don't you have the courage or the faith to stand with pride? And are there no more values for which you will fight to save? Or do you wish your children to live in fear and be a slave? Both sons of the Republic arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the land, preserve our great Republic and each God given right, and pray to God to keep the torture freedom bright. As I awoke, he vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. Or even now as tyrants trampled each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he fought to keep What would be your answer if he called out from the grave? Dill the land of the woman. This is the afternoon intelligence report. I'm Mark Kornke Donald one day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories, West, Southwest, East, We the People Radio Network, WTPRN.com, that's We the People Radio Network, Liberty Tree Radio dot 4MG dot com, that's Liberty Tree Radio dot 4MG dot com, and on AM&FM major stations, AM&FM micro and CBB stations and technologies, East and for 66A2, they're all basically the same rifle people, okay? They know that you're tempted to put some other kind of cool stock on the weapon. That's fine if you do. I don't have a problem with that, but the basic S-CAS out of the box, as is, is a fine service carbine. It is a light rifle. It is not an MBR. It is a light rifle. It is a beautiful weapon. I love that Grenadier spigot launcher that's on that stock, you know, on that stock rifle. It's got a nice rubber recoil pad. So guess what guys? It does everything it's supposed to do as a Grenadier's arm now for the time being you can leave it just the way it is look at that that grenade launcher is nothing more than that spigot launcher as Nothing more than a big cone flash hider it directs all the gas and stuff forward So it keeps your overall FLIR down a bit, which is a good thing Okay, kind of like if you ever looked at the old car beans You had two types of of add-on and they had a little thumb screw system. So they fit around the front side One was a cone type that pushed all of the gases and all of the unburned powder forward. And the other was, of course, a muzzle compensator. Both of these were made by the Department of Defense. They came out in the 90s and masked. Hell, cheaper than dirt had them like a 6,000 something for a set at one time, 695 or whatever it was. They're not that cheap anymore and they're almost all US made. So US military obviously keeps going up. If you see them and they are cheap, though, grab them for your cart. Be a nice little thing to have around and you can always take them off and put them on when you want. Well these little grenade launchers slash spigot launchers on the ES-CAS serve much the same purpose but also their primary function is what's most critical. You don't have to create it, you don't have to invent it. You're already on them there. Now if you took it off already or something, don't panic. The park's not going to do anything. What can I do to you through the radio? Okay, if you do have the parts there and you didn't butcher them or damage them, say to the side, there's going to come a day when they're real handy. Now I will say something. Most armies have rifle grenades in their Chinese. It's because, you know why? want to sell to somebody else. So the cool thing is that most spigot launchers on that SKS will accept flares, will accept pop parachute flares, tank grenades, or personnel grenades. Now of course you're not going to be having those right now, but down the road it might be kind of handy. Now this is another reason by the way that the AR-15 flash hiders were banned. It had nothing so much to do with the, oh it's got a flash hider on the end of the weapon. Remember that the AR-15's flash hider for those of you who doubt me, I want you to go get yourself a micrometer and mic out the standard M16A1 and A2 flash hiders. Take a look at their dimensions, take a look at the dimension for a spigot rifle grenade. Now, if you remember and look on your AR-15 flash hider, down there's two little rings that are cut in the base of that flash hider around the whole circuit. guys who have been in the service, you use the blank adapter that slides into the little groove. You got a little thumb screw unit that goes down into the barrel and clamps into place and allows for only a little bit of gas to pass the laws for the action to cycle with the blank adapter and with blanks. Other little ring and even the ring that will ring those for the blank adapter was designed also to accept a couple of little springs. Well, remember those clicky pins that Don used to get that where everybody used to give you out for free? Yeah. Another little spring inside. about the right dimension. In fact, if you have to improvise, you can do this. Take one of those springs, you'll find if you wrap it around and hook it inside itself, it rests right inside that groove and creates a springy surface, retains the rifle grenade or the rifle flare, when in fact there's a different ring system on the SKS, but the same basic concept. And in each case it creates pressure, just enough resistance so your rifle grenade or your flare doesn't slide off of the end of your rifle and becomes very embarrassing. Okay? You know, drop my toy again. Now, on the ARs, they obviously try to alter them or band them all together, and now they're back on, of course. This is a frivolous BS that you see with all these beam counting morons that we have that are in the... And they're doing this purely for... In all these cases, all the stuff that they took off and then put back on, a little sub-note here, did that do anything to make the weapon operate differently? All it was was cosmetic. And yet, a cosmetic feature was something they were willing to send people with guns to kill you over. What a disgusting bunch of parasite slobs. Think about that. For a 20 cents worth of pot iron, basically they wanted to try and be given the opportunity to murder you in a situation where was no significant difference in the fight. We're not talking about change in making select power, not that that makes any difference either. You know, we always, we were laughing about this today because people are asking, well, what about other countries? Well, like over in Iraq, when they were just confiscating all those guns guys and they take guns from people that do have AKs over there, do you think they have semi auto AKs? Iraq? That they all own? Ask the troops that are over there, land of the fee, home of the slave over here. You guys got semi auto. Over there, in a third world country or a second world country or a great country, depending on how you measure their economics, these people have anything they want. Clearly anything they want. Before, in fact, we pointed this out, okay, land of the fee, home of the slave over here, right? With Saddam Hussein in charge, there was not a weapon that you could not buy over the counter. And there were no restrictions. Hey, and yet they pretty much uh... didn't have a lot of problems that are active they haven't granted we know the of the the stories about the police state but they're again uh... certain agendas by the she is part of the she writes the you know curbs versus the she writes the current worst of the she is the she is versus everybody the you know, take your pick, whatever the game was for the moment that we were mixing up intentionally to create murder and mayhem over there. Otherwise, you could go into a regular gun shop before we invaded. You could buy an RPK, you could buy an AK-47, you could buy an M16, if they had them, most of the people laughed, because they knew better, but you could pick any pistol up you wanted, you could buy any shotgun you wanted, any rank shotgun you wanted. Think about that, without any bold paperwork or any of this other nonsense. What's wrong with this picture here? Over here in the land of the fee in the home of the Inuit and Retentive Communists, run by the ADL, and pushed by the kosher mafia, oh, you have to have paperwork, dance on your toes, spin around twice, pat your tummy, and pat your head at the same time. End of the fee, home of the slave. Yeah. Cha-ching. Now, how is that? What's wrong with that picture? Sounds like they actually have more of their kosher and l... The only problems that have been created is because the spies, the spooks, and the kooks that we have over there mixing it up with the... people otherwise they would have even had the problems they've had and if they did they'd have been quick and have been over fast, tracked in misery, create a mafia running our military over there so they can get us into another war to some probably whatever other wealth they can God knows what they got the Iranians have but the Israelis there's got to be a shopping list I'd like to see it anyway a lot of stuff going on right now. Ammunition equipment, ammunition wise, getting shorter people and what little inventories are being replaced what's interesting is that much of a selection and the prices are continuing to go up. Now they're warning that there may be another price jump on the horizon. Now, we're trying to give you solutions. There's people that are doing something else that really isn't nice. The 760 by 25 millimeter Tokarev ammunition people is bargain basement. You can go right to the sources and you can buy cases for about 8 to 10 cents a round. At the gun shows, people are reporting what they've done is they've jacked up the price on the Tokarev ammo to the same level as all the other stuff that is harder to get. There's a making a reasonable profit is one thing, but this is where a lot of the profiteers are showing up and you'll find there of a certain event and group again too. I'm telling you. So pay attention at the shows, watch to see who's giving you a fair deal. They do have to cover their freight expenses. They got to cover the tables. There's a whole bunch of expenses when you go to a gun show you forget about. Tables have been outrageous. They've been trying to, you know, again, regulate that by making it expensive. Usually it's because the bat faggots are manipulating a lot of those shows. the shows that are expensive usually the Bat faggots have got their hand up the owners butts so deep you know they're a thumb and you go to you know a lot of these little shows smaller shows or they find that you can access all the stuff pretty much for cost plus a reasonable compensation because that's something that we do need to take in by 25 still out there in good quantity buy it up five we're gonna give the warning order again this is officially weapons Wednesday it's now not an if now only counting the days until we have the first of the five four five by 39 AR-15 upper receivers in somebody's hands out there. It's a race. Be quiet, it's an industrial. This is one of those cool little industrial races, Don. We have several different companies that are working. They've all got the same bug now. Private individuals and, of course, we know that Spider Firearms is definitely working on this project and they're going to be, hopefully, they're going to be out there. He's going to be up there, listening on the air, telling you about the new A2 or A3 upper receivers and five flight ready to roll. Other companies are looking at this to the point where we know 500 barrels have already been ordered and are on the way from a specific company. If you have an AR-15 in your listing right now, you will be able to digest with your rifle all the 545 that you want to use. So I'm going to say something right now. Buy the 545 ammo right now while it's cheap, period. It's an investment that is a plus plus for everybody out there that's got an AR-15. If you've got an AK-74, guys, same thing, because the price is going to start to creep. We're going to give contact numbers when we come back down. This is the Intel Report Live. You've got it down in Mark. It's Weapons Wednesday, so keep your paper on hand. We're going to be giving out numbers and contact info here on We the People Radio Network.

Allegiance report and there will be a particular because you will like the price. So for those of you who were thinking about getting a 50 this is a great I'm going to Real quick here guys, the AR-15, like we said, it's a piece of junk, but it's a really versatile piece of junk, it's cool. I wouldn't throw it away, it would depend on the mission. Now in this case, here's a good example. Here you got a half inch gun right there. But you've got a three man team, let's say we commit to 50 calibers. All of your support team with your 50, if you're gonna commit to that 50 ferret, should be carrying AR-15s. Why? We get all of your good stuff. Okay, now we hate to say that but that's how it works is coughing humor but the point is that the reality is interactive supply and support. You say like Don's the 50 gunner okay I'm his loader. He pulls the trigger we hear a crack we actually hear a snap or a breakage. He's not likely but here's my point. We know something's wrong. Okay we cannot we could we are going to perform a quick immediate action drill to check the weapon. However we realize we've got a malfunction with some part on the in the lower receiver group. Guess what? Real quick, we zip off that bottom receiver. Meanwhile, while he's doing that, I'm popping the lower, I'm popping the pins on my AR-15, okay, my A2 or A1. And what we're gonna do is we're gonna drop the part, we're gonna perform the basic prep drill for that lower receiver on my rifle. He's gonna take his and drop his real quick. We're gonna put my receiver, my lower receiver on his upper receiver. And guess what? We got the heaviest weapon in the team, still operational. Now I can take that low receiver, because I don't care whose it is, I'm going to grab that, put that in my carry pouch, and I'm going to take my upper, in fact ideally for transport, I'll just clip them both together, throw that thing on my backpack and bolt it to it real quick or just put it over my shoulder, pull out my personal handgun, and now I can still provide support. I've got my .45 or my Glock or whatever, and if ideally I'm carrying two anyway. If you've got Glocks, come on people, you should have two or three of them and be carrying them. don't tell me they're too heavy. Glock people always brag to me about how light they are. What, you can't handle a pound's worth of weapon? Okay, come on. So the assistant gunner, he still got his pistol on his pistol belt, he still got his shoulder holstered weapon, and he's still loading for that gunner and spotting. Keep that in mind. Plus, number three man is still carrying a squad gun, still carrying an A2, or he's carrying a CAR-15, whatever. He's got another AR-15 right there, preferably a full battle rifle, full CAR-Bean slash of Now he works the action. I load the next round rather than give the cases ejected. I take the next round, lay it in the tray. He loads it and all he's focusing on is where his shot went and where the next one's going to go. Potter is performing security off to the left. I'm off to his right. I'm doing a quick sweep also monitoring with my optics. We pick another target. He confirms where the target is located that you've ID'd and you hear a kaboom operated and your loader automatically. round in. It's that simple. The gunner should be focusing on his mission, focusing on his weapon and his mission purely a minimal amount of action. The weapon should not be trailing away from the body. It should be staying in the groove, so to speak. It should be sitting in place, a minimal amount of motion for the shooter, and a minimal amount of observed motion even with the loader. Everybody is working with their eyes and with their optics. Now we get in, somebody's getting in close. can automatically of course switch over to personal firearms engagement pop pop gunner swings around whatever the threat is and he's gonna have to take over the loading process himself because security weapons now are brought to bear now I'd go so far as to say this you could what's the average rate of an air 15 yeah That's right, if it's a heavy barrel you put some weight on it, but the average weight of that rifle is 7 pounds. Are you telling me you can't carry another AR-15, say a Kar-15 or something, for a security weapon? I don't wanna! Well here's the kicker, let's go one step farther. For everybody out there, you might recall there are a series of rifles that were built... that are on the AR-15 upper and lower receiver that were made in the 90s. I don't know if the company's still out there, haven't even bothered to look yet. They brought the AR-15 with plastic receivers down to a five pound AR-15. Okay, everything fits. All your internals fit, your magazines fit, everything works. At five pounds, you're telling me you can't carry another rifle? Yeah, you can't. Let's put it this way, it's like slinging a chicken or a cat. Some handguns weigh just about that much. How about your, that ruse? I wouldn't want to drop that on my foot. that are loaded up with, ideally at least one, loaded up with however many 50 caliber rounds will fit in that mag pouch. Yeah, you guys should take that cloth M6, the two pouch, 20 clip, magazine, 20, the magazine for two pointed up in front. And now that's great if you're not shooting a magazine fed gun. Now there's your support system in place so that every man's carrying extra ammo for that 50. Why? Because your AR-15 won't reach 1800 yards, but that 50 caliber will. Yes. And at Ferret 50 we'll do just fine. Go to the ferret50.com site, check them out. You're going to find out real quick all about what kind of ranges they can reach with the weapons they got. We're going to go to break. This is Donna Mark, Intel Report, Weapons Wednesday. Back in three minutes. Republican presidential candidate Ron Paul is unique.

Oh, you know, while we're talking, and you know, it's been addressed before, but I just want to bring it to the, you know, I can't remember his first, he drew up that A-15. Well, a 50s and decided, let's, let's, let's, let's smaller, so our Barrymore. I had my druthers, Mark. I'd much rather get shot with that .223 than that .308. Said I'm, you know, would volunteer for either. .8 magazine. Didn't pay a whole lot of attention. They left me a little bit or that little beige group. But a number of my friends, if asked, will stand if need be, you cannot stop communist tanks with rocks as the poor oppressed checks found out. Communists with M16s thought of actually having to go to war armed with that glorified .22 caliber thing. Come home with our shield, Weisberg. And again, Andrew, I'd tell you that my brothers, here I go, repeat myself. I'd much rather get shot with a .223 in the thorax than a .3. Exactly well there sadly enough as we know it didn't happen Paine was adopted in the first place and his parent 15 to the m16 improvement where they could have actually made some changes is in the gas system the air 15 No, you take the guys to the range and at the end of the day with the air 15 They're not all tired cuz they're not being beat on as much. That's true. But Then you asked the basic question how many alibis and malfunctions did we have to deal with? And everybody get a little quiet. Yeah, the problem with it is that so again Now it depends on what period of time the rifle was made. I was carrying a Hydramatic for the time that I did carry an AR or an M16. Mine was a Hydramatic model and I got to say it worked beautifully but it sounds because just every M16 has its own noise and everybody who's ever used one knows this or has one that knows this. Remember when you bring that rifle up to your shoulder there's that buffer tube right there next to your head and you hear that action. After a while you get to know your rifle really well, especially when you've hired thousands of rounds through it. And so then when you pick up somebody else's you realize something's not right. What is it? And I actually had that happen on the range once where with another squad leader years and years ago. Fortunately, his name was Mr. Johnson. He was the same size. I built the same build, same full weight, about 178 pounds each. What was interesting, and that was starving by the way. That was still with the muskle, but that's just the idea is to keep you one meal away from starvation so you'll come back for more. But it's all about, oh, God, I'm hungry. I guess we got to go to the chow hall anyway. Oh, man. Well, I don't have any money right now. Pay cheques at the end of the month. I better go to chow. Anyway, the point is that what's interesting is we table because, of course, we were up on the range and we were just behind the range. We warmed up our squads. We went out. We got jumped up on the range. And, of course, I had my spotter behind me. And it sounded great. But the target went down. I mean, it was perfect. Pop up, pop down. 50-yard shot, boom. 150-yard shot, boom. Had another 100-yard engagement, boom. I brought the 300. Boom. I fired a perfect score, happy with the weapon, but I looked and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I'm happy, no alibis, nothing happened strange with the weapon. I step back away from the range, next relay jumps forward. My spotter drops into the pit, his spotter bored to watch him. I come back off the range and Mr. Johnson's walking towards me and he's smiling. And I'm looking at him and I'm thinking, why has he got such a stupid grin on his face? And I looked down at the rifle and I realized, that's not my weapon. I did not have the proper number. Firearm. I'm looking at the firearm, the number on the side. I said, oh no. And he goes, you just realize it? He goes, yeah. He goes, well, we both did OK, right? He goes, yep. He qualified. I qualified. Everybody was happy. Didn't have to spend more time out there in the sub-zero weather. We passed our rifles back. I said, we ain't going to do that again now, are we? It wasn't Mr. Hill's rifle. Mr. Hill was the worst shot of the range. And for the next hour and a half, two hours, we were out there waiting at the alibi and re-qualified and had to re-qualify and re-qualify again five more times all by himself. About seven other range sergeants lording over him trying to convince him that he could situation. The AR-15 is still there in the inventory. The one reason, just like any other military arm, the pluses of the AR-15 are this. 1960 plums were issued to SF units and to certain airborne units. during the Dominican Republic uprising. Some people might forget that, but there were troops carrying it then. Without a forward assist, N-E-E configure. The present rifle, the four wide rebuild of the XM-17, they want to give it a different nick. You think you got a different rifle, you didn't. It's the same. No twist is changed. That's only because barrel bullet weights have changed to compensate for the fail. Plus is our spare magazines. That's a big ammunition. Well, it used to be a good thing because every piece of brass we can, every two, two, three piece of two, two, three brass, we can get our hands on. down that just carried away another location, that brass should be loaded by now. Just around there, that was the thing. It was around and it's been around for so long. So it is useful in that respect. Now, the downside. Every weapon needs to have maintenance done. So I don't want to hear someone say, well, I don't blame my AK, because I don't have to. Shame on you. You're abusing your firearm.

More on that during the week as we go. Real quick, Penn, we promised this, ourguns.net.

And so J and G sales dot N like N company, four five, seven six two by twenty five for the Tokarev and they've got thirty out six, they've got some of that Greek stuff, or some other calibers. Now basic maintenance, something we touched upon and we harp on for a reason, are only as good as your firearm and without your firearm you aren't all that useful. In fact, Don, there's a basic rule something we use as an axiom. As I must master my life, what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire because it is my life. There's a weather and damages I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes, and my heart against damage. It will keep my right ready even as I am clean and ready. Each other, we are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We love my life. Street is America's and there is no enemy. Take care of your weapon, guys. That's right. We have a basic rule here. We are resource rich for the moment, even with all the problems that have been created. And all the tools that are at our disposal as militiamen, as infantry, we have to make sure that we are properly able to maintain each of the firearms and all of the equipment that we have assembled. The moment that you rest, before you rest and do anything else, your weapon is inspected, your weapon is checked, your weapon is dusted, it's cleaned, you make sure your sights are accessible, make sure there's no crud or anything built up. Now I'm going to address something else here. I know how everybody is conditioned with this muzzled out nonsense, okay? And I'm, forgive me, I shouldn't say nonsense, but conditioned for the present school. However, remember that this is purely because of the present regimen, the philosophy for the moment. There's a basic problem. In a real temperate environment, you're dealing with water, debris, muzzle, especially if you have a bask in the end of it, calm everything. Keeps down the barrel everything. okay so on the one hand i understand the philosophy trainmen there don't use it but the basic rule is horizontal carry in temperate environments alternating your weapons left right left right when on patrol now this means constant thought process and it means you have to be thinking all the time first man whatever direction he chooses to port his weapon in other words to move his weapon his muscle The next person in line automatically shifts his weapon to the left or the right depending upon the opposite of the man in front of it. What this does is it creates control lanes of fire automatically even though you're not in, say, a fixed position. At a given point, a certain number of arms are arced and into an area of control that could be brought to bear quickly and deal with that area of operation that's in front of the muzzle. Out of the mud, the debris, obstacles, obstructions, Yes, there's still branches and debris up above, so you're going to have to constantly be adjusting the position of your weapon accordingly, always keeping in mind where the muzzle of that arm is. Now, the low carry position, or what we might call a low port position, is really what it used to be called. When you're keeping the weapon, the round down and low, this was preferably used by the point man, or used by the first three men in a formation. Now, why? Well, here's the point. is already in a... The logic is you may be the first person to make contact with somebody who really doesn't like you and they may automatically fire. It's not going to throw you back like in the movies 25 feet and tumbling end over end and doing a somersault in the barrel roll while you're firing what's going to happen is energy will be applied against your body armor. The body armor of course is like somebody pushing you with a hand. stumble back, fall back, or are pressed back, the logic was that your muzzle comes up into the kill zone or into the engagement zone and you're able to pull the trigger and at least return fire almost immediately. On that, there is not a significant advantage other than the perceived safety issue in regard to muzzle down and into the ground. The problem with muzzle down and into the ground is that's where all the worst detritus and debris is, and that can create other problems. On the other hand, let's think about it this way. Port position high Guys, do you go out when you go hunting for a quail or when you try to snap shoot? Do you snap shoot with your weapon all the way down pointed to the ground in parallel with your leg? No. Okay, and why do we do that? Because the natural ergonomic position for quick snap fire is with your weapon at the port position muzzle up and about 45 degrees and downrange What happens is you automatically snap fire when you bring that weapon up into the cruck of the shoulder and you line up the sights unless it's a really extreme distance shot, we are using what's called a response aiming, it's reflex aiming. Kind of sight right down the barrel of kaboom and guess what? Chances are 99% of the time your reflex response combined with your index finger used as part of your tracking system will put the bullet within a target within a reasonable range. Now with a shotgun obviously you get some, you get some, shall we say compensation there or some forgiveness. But with basic combat operations, and I know there's people going, oh Mark, you shut down, okay, what my problem is this. If we were 100% urban warfare or we're over in desert dust, I would, oh yes, the way they've done this applies to a degree. But I had problems even there, and because of conditioning, the troops are going to continue to do what they're doing no matter what anyway. So, hey, we can't affect that. But, from experience, especially when we're in a temperate environment, we're working through obstacles, brush, debris, material. Hell, it's bad enough. People forget to tape up their grenades. All those little branches and tree things that are sitting there and all the brambles you go through, guys, are like little fingers pulling at everything that's on your equipment. That's right. Very common. This is why you use, now, you don't use electrical tape, by the way, with your grenades. You use paper tape or what people call masking tape. The reason is that two things happen when you're walking. Things move around. The grenades flex a little bit. The pins are made out of soft metal. They're designed to be softer so they're easier to pull through the safety. Two things are happening. A, that little twig or stick or you think, oh, you don't think about it. You hook on something and you're thinking about pulling away from it because you're tired of working on all this brush. What you don't realize is what you've been tugging on is that little piece hooked up inside that grenade ring you pull away. may or may not be properly secured. It goes one way, you hear pop, and then you hear that fuse. Now you better be real quick and either fumble around to get that away from your area of operation, or you better clear that area along with the rest of your buddies. Maybe, like I said, have what we call the paper safety on the grenade in the first place. This means that even if, when you're moving, that you're carrying that grenade for quite some time, people, This sounds weird, but this is people have fragged themselves purely by accident. And these are things to think about. Well the same is true with regard to basic, you know, issues with your weapon and where your muzzle is. You don't know what's stuck down the end of it. It can be very embarrassing when you pull the trigger and find out you look like something about a Buzz's money cartoon. Okay, anyway just issues. We're gonna address this again. We're at the top of the hour already, Don. Dave will get you on the other side. Yes, we will. So hey, stay right where you are. Dave from California. We'll be back in six minutes here. We the People Radio Network. As always, God bless the Republic. Death to the New World Order. We shall prevail, ladies and gentlemen. The Empire is on the run. We are on the march, folks, day and night. Fix Man-its, chase them down the road, but be in the process, guys. If you use that weapon, be it the Van-it or your rifle, clean it when you're done with it. Okay? That's all we ask. Do proper maintenance. Thank you, Don. God bless you, Mark. God bless you, America. Did you read this? Chicago just became the murder capital of America. I don't understand. It's been a felony to have a gun since 95. I thought that was supposed to prevent murders. Unincrease them. Criminals will always find a way to get guns, while the rest of us are just left defenseless. Chicago authorities have seized over 75,000 firearms since 1995, and now Chicago's murder rate is twice as high as New York City. Tonight, while you're asleep, criminals will be at work. Not in Kennesaw, Georgia. In 1982, our city passed a law requiring every household to have a gun. It terrified the criminals, and our violent crime rate is now 75% below the national average. We sleep well here in Kennesaw. Americans who own guns prevent over a million violent crimes every year and save lives. Get the facts. Visit armedandsecure.org. That's armedandsecure.org.
