Summary
Mark Koernke discussed urban warfare tactics, ammunition shortages, and preparedness strategy on Weapons Wednesday. He analyzed enemy plans to force conflict into cities for urban renewal purposes, contrasting this with militia training that emphasizes multi-dimensional combat across rural and urban environments. Koernke addressed ammunition scarcity, recommending reloading, alternative calibers, and ammunition as currency. A caller reported on HR 6257, a gun ban bill sponsored by four Republicans (Kirk, Caswell, Ferguson, and Shays), prompting discussion of legislative threats to Second Amendment rights. The show emphasized mindset, flexibility, and community participation in defense preparedness.

A child afraid to even cry out says he has been here. 94,000 square, bringing the people's voice down to all across America. Through the mist with a f***, 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 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. Brave. The freedoms we secured for you we hoped you'd always keep. The tyrants labored endlessly while your parents were asleep. Your freedom's gone, your courage lost, you're no more than a slave. Invist the land of the free. 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 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'll fight to save? Or do you wish your children live in fear and be a slave? Oh, sons of the Republic, arise, take a stand, defend the Constitution, the Supreme Law of the plan. Preserve our great Republican, each God given right. And pray to God as I awoke he vanished in the midst for once he came. His words were true, we are free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trampled each God given right, we only watch and tremble, too afraid to stand and fight. If he stood by your bedside in a dream while you were asleep and wondered what remains of the freedoms he'd fought to keep, what would be your answer? If he called out from the grave, deal the land at the... along with southern and central Alaska. You'll also find us on, oh that's right, new Hallmark technologies that are being put together by our friends in the colonial states. So the Hallmark net is going to be up very, very soon. I want to say thank you to our guys there. In fact, we're shipping a whole bunch of hardware that way so they can use it for in front of me, but you know what, the 19th, and listen real careful, you got in the chamber, The slide is closed. The well is full in the perimeter. It is weapons day mark and you know equal opportunity force there. I want to address that for a moment. You know, you guys, one of the people we bring up is Maine Military and they have a little library. We've told you about their books, a number of the books. How about The Happy Handgunner? Cool book. You can learn a lot from it. It's kind of like listening to a weapons Wednesday mark. But you've got another book, Conqueror. and then there's another one, Conquer Terror. I want to read you just a couple from Conquer Crime here right at the front because it is Weapons Wednesday. The author of this book is Don Paul. The title, Conquer Paul, says, quote, I appeared on G. Gordon Liddy's talk show after he had written an article for Forbes magazine called, or rather titled, Security. It reads, there are essentially two kinds of people in the world and they can be distinguished easily by their reaction to life-threatening situations such as the invasion of one's home. all resort to prayer, but it is by the text of their prayers, ye shall know them. For some it's a version of God, please don't let them find me. God, please don't let them hurt me. Or, God, please let the police get here in time. Such persons have elected to be life's victims, and indeed only God can help them. There are others, however, who have chosen not to be victims. Their prayer for the intruder. May God have mercy on your soul. Understand the difference there? Oh, close quote. But you see the difference there? The mindset? And that's one of the major things we work on on Weapons Wednesday, isn't it Mark? You know, you can have all kinds of tools, but if you don't know how to use them, or if you're not going to use them, you'll be a victim, won't you? I had to bring, that's tremendous. God have mercy on their souls. That's the mindset you need to have, America. Well, especially the idea of victory, victory mode. Now, you know, a couple things here about this whole program coming up with the games that they want to play in the U.S. Number one, they are trying desperately to dictate the battlefield. Now, let's go back a few years. Let me look at the strategic overview. I would challenge any of you who were in college, and look through some of your college texts. If you, of course, still have any of them laying around like me, I had a tendency not to sell my college books. but put them on the shelf and keep them. My logic was, as outrageously as expensive as they were and what little I would get back for them, I'd rather keep them. But I also collect books. I make a point of, you see, unlike the delete button on the computer with the Orwell hole, the computer the way it is now, where they can delete or re-engineer something and claim that it never existed unless you put it in hard copy. Then they'll try to claim you fabricated it. The one cool thing is books are harder to, you know, abricate and there's a couple things that we've used over the years when I did American Peril one two and three Don Would make a point of bringing up enemy text why well they printed it we didn't write No, no one of the things that they gets me is a first of all strategic overview They already they would tell their minions and they try to tell their recruit wannabes, you know the ones are go to college you try to figure out who they can call out to be the next parasite. Okay, that's what the whole purpose behind college is. Most of you going through college are designed to be the plebes. They're looking for the cares that they can manipulate and corrupt. Okay, at the higher level. There's a sifting process, mostly for the leftist socialist now, but even there they're still directly tied into the agenda, no matter what they think they are, if they think they're leftist or if they think they're rightist. In reality, being sifted in these have been pushing. Again, the idea here is control. funnel in an hourglass. Okay, all the energy goes to a certain point and it is directed from that point. You don't have to control every pyramid, just control the key people. That's the mistake a lot of people make when they try to understand what's going on. Well this can't be. Yes, this way, Colin Powell, he's a republic rat, right? Sitting right now with, he's put out here in the last couple of weeks, we've seen on national television. Now that's just qualifying. Now, Here's the thing, you can go back down to the middle 80s and they talked about openly in the social engineering text about carving up the United States. They even talked about the idea that, and this is not for general consumption, they always do this, oh, you know, this is for us to talk about, but don't talk to your mom and dad. I mean, literally, and these people are in their 20s, then they're telling them, but don't talk to your parents or anybody else about this. This is for us to talk about. Guys, I watch this myself personally, okay? What they did is they talked about the carving up and the destruction of the United States intentionally, making Chicago the capital of the United States. That's not my words, that's their words. Now I'm taking you a little forward to the 90s. What was the discussion in 1989, even before the supposed Berlin Wall fell, why the next big series of wars would just have to be over there in the midst Middle Eastern consortium that will be like the SSR and we're going to fight it, but first they have to make it. Did I say that? Yes, I did. First they had to make it and create it and mold it the way they want it. Now the best laid plans of these rodents always fall apart. I'll qualify that by going back to an earlier social engineering program. World War I was not called World War I, Don. It was called what? The War to End All Wars. And what they did is they fabricated a massive destructive event that otherwise would not have taken place. A million Frenchmen alone died defending their homeland. A million Frenchmen. An intentional, garborating machine created by these socialist pesticides. They got caught flat-footed even in France and a lot of people understood what was going on. for that matter. We go forward here, and the next thing they start doing is then tweaking, for instance, the tactical end of what they're going to do. And what are they doing now? For these soldiers listening, let me ask you something. Well, I want you to step out and take a look at a map right now. And, you know, there are lots of cities. Of course there are. There have always been cities, guys. And city warfare has always taken place. Can we talk about Carthage? Oh yeah. conditions determined by where the armies were so it might have been an urban battle at one point and that it became a rural action later on. Why? Because you must be diversification is one's understanding how to be multi-dimensional. Now I'm bringing this up because here's something you might have noticed and they're really pushing hard and I'll tell you why and I'm going to qualify this again in a minute. Have you noticed that they're pushing the next war will be in the cities. Now I'm going to ask you something about that. Urban warfare, it's going to all be urban warfare. Urban warfare this, urban warfare that. It just has to be. It just has to be. It just has to be. Do you want to know why they want urban warfare? Because they want urban renewal. They want you to tear down. Basically, they need a war to tear down all the garbage they've built because they've overbuilt. None of it's useful. not very efficient. uh... target and choose eight and urban renewal project you see how this works plans within plans within plans circles within circles now the same is true right now all over the country here we got all kinds of places they'd like to see burned down this place they'd like to drag everybody into a place where if you fight a person they have no ability to develop anything urban warfare is going to be is going to happen city warfare has always taken place but people have you ever tried to eat bricks and two-by-fours How long can you sustain brick and 2x4 consumption? Not very long. You move an army or a fighting force into a city, what do you do? Let's see, the way they've planned or mapped this out, cities have been set up so that they have concrete rings around them which become mobile security zones for light mechanized whereby you simply restrict the access bridges, which are, remember, limited access highway points, and then you drive mobile assault slash reaction units around the place to contain it. You can also do that to defend it if you want to, but I think their biggest concern and issue is in the big plan, how can you keep everybody into this target area where limited supplies, limited ammunition, and massive consumption. Now there's limited supplies no matter where you go. In fact, let's go back to the history of warfare. the republicans versus the imperials in the last battles of the uh... roman civil war do you know that the republicans would have won had they simply you know why because of quarter bastard i'm sorry they didn't call him quartermaster back then but here's the problem put a hundred and fifty thousand or half a million men in one place how long does it take for them to eat out the countryside Oh, not very long. Now, do you know that the Republicans and the Imperials faced off against each other for days and days and days, dancing back and forth, trying to make contact, or deciding whether or not to make contact? The Republicans made the mistake of deciding, oh no, we just got a fight. Had the Republicans simply, had those who believed in the Republic, not in the Imperium, simply turned their army and walked to fresh ground. The terrain in all directions had been so consumed, the army left behind simply could have fought. There were no calories to consume. Remember another rule here about that. In action... It's called husbanding your resources. It's called minimal forthamum. And there's a military phrase I'm searching for, Mark. Well, yeah, well, economy and force. Yes, yes. Now, real quick here, think about what they've done guys. Now remember this, Iraq was designed to create the shock troops that they're going to use on the US. Good Americans, drawing from that action, prostitute, gun whores, like the FBI agents, ATF agents, prison guards, cops have been given leaves of absence for a year. Mostly they're ring knockers too, you'll find they're almost all Masonic. Trains, watch and pay attention. Chubby necks, P-Brains, they've been sent over there so they could and burn the mercenary corps okay that's why people hang them from bridges and chunks because they know what they're like when they're out there running so everybody everybody the words are targeted those mercenaries are just regular people those most of those mercenaries are are gun whores for the Fed receives murdering Americans in their homes in an urban environment the idea behind this with all the conditioning is they keep repeating this in video games they keep repeating this in everything they can reinforce it's going to be an urban war it's going to be an urban war it's going to be an urban war it's going to be You gotta fight an urban war. You better be in an urban war. You gotta be in an urban war. You see how that works? We just all gotta have brick camo. Because if we don't have brick camo done, we won't make it. If we don't have digital, we won't look like the other guys who are wearing digital. And you know what, by the way, we have a friend of ours who should be given a report. You know what, and exactly what we anticipated, the digital for the most part, guys, unless it's very unique conditions, doesn't work for you. You know what. However, it really looks great as far as it's what the other guys decided that needed to be pushed, mostly the bean counters again. And in some cases, the clothing is actually designed not to bend in. I've argued again, time again, you do need one of their uniforms. You need it so that when you want to use it for deception purposes, you're wearing it so that you have that two seconds that you need so that when the bad guys are in front of you, they can't be sure, but you are. you see how that works you should first wins especially if you put put the the round in the target area which is your first mission now anyway my point is this we fight under all conditions and all environments so it works and we will be able to fight anywhere i know if you look at the militia training videos are out there right now guys pay attention to the type of conditions that are being simulated and remember Here's one of the things at the left behind the full order. Or is it going to come to the city? People were already in the city and were in the villages and were out in the country. However, for training purposes, I don't think you're going to see too many people allowing high powered rifle practice downtown today. You think that's likely done? Probably not. So as far as training in urban operations, what we're doing is, and as we've always done, is set up the proper simulators to help reinforce certain environmental conditions and practices. This is how you operate in training exercises of all types. If you have a billion dollars to plop down and make a village for us, that's a wonderful idea. You go ahead and do that, let us know where it is, and we'll drop in. and then we can have fun stimulating urban slash uh... also contact from rural to urban see that's one of the things that most people don't understand we've been doing for years almost all forces that i've trained not just almost a hundred percent but it's just matter of how many of participated in overlapping exercises i'm talking major operations we put hundreds of people in the field we have taught them how to transit from rural operations to urban and then from urban back to rural. That's the critical component. If you are, you know, the bad guys, here's the thing. When you've got a bingo-lumbering beast, a machine slash a mechanism, you want to especially sense, you know, you gotta remember, the bean counters you're trying to steal money. What did you just see, guys, with the $700 billion that was stolen from you in the big sellout? Can't tell you what we're going to do with it. We aren't going to tell you where it is. So the soldier, let's say that money was supposed to have gone to, oh that's right, just like in Iraq, a trillion dollars missing, guys. It didn't go to the soldier, it didn't go to your son in the field who should have had the best, you know, AAA body armor available. He should have brand new uniforms and equipment replaced on a cyclic and regular basis that he doesn't have to hunt for. He should have a quartermaster system in place that doesn't exist, okay? He should have brand new American made ammunition produced to the best quality and standard superior. He's not getting that. For all these billions of dollars spent, what is he getting? Hand me down second rate equipment for the most part. Vehicles that are tired or had to be improvised with cobbled welding torches and with wrenches. Okay? Not because we didn't spend the money. It's because the money, or well, we didn't send the money. It's that the money was stolen before it got to where the soldier was. Five flavors or ten flavors of ammunition because the ammo never got to where it's going and the ammo scam is that they're buying everybody else's junk rather than buying the best to keep your son or daughter alive. Okay? Uniforms made in, let's see, Dominican Republic, Communist China, or other third world places rather than built by Americans, for Americans, into the best of our ability. To include a proper camouflage scheme that covers and protects and still identifies so that friend-fo is an easy consideration. The bookkeeper's job is to steal the money. So they will tell you on the one hand that they're spending the money on the troops while in reality their job will be to deflect and move the money to their favorite Swiss or Cayman Island accounts or whatever. that's the bottom line now lori i'm bringing us up a reason because conditions the enemy is trying to psych everybody the idea that you need to fight only this way for you need to be a hundred percent urban warfare or warfare or warfare or warfare or warfare now all yes we're ready to fight urban warfare and we could swing right around and drop into the battlefield and then we determine the battlefield oh yes imagine you know what a target looks like a bullseye imagine the center dot the city the first ring the opt for fighting the city second ring the urban fighting the op force. Think about it. That's what they're desperately trying to do is engineer psychologically. And I mean they're getting desperate on this people because one of the things that we've touched on for how long, I know we got to call our hold for just a moment more. Another thing is we have been teaching you for years, we, us, we focus on this, on how to teach people to take care of themselves because we can't be there every minute. How many times you heard me bring this up? This has been part of the ongoing educational process that we have developed for decades. In fact, unlike a lot of people, especially not government, many of the exercises that I've talked about will bring women with children in their arms, infants and men who are beyond combat age intentionally. Why? Well, probably the best example, the mission of the militia is to support the population, but not for them to sit there on their dead arses and go, hey, yeah, do everything for me. Oh, where's my welfare check? Do I get that? That's not how it works. Unless you're a casualty with a hole in leaking or you've got some major illness that we have to deal with, we're going to get you back on your legs as quick as you can, and congratulations, you're part of the war effort. You're not going to sit there doing, what are you going to do for me? Kiss my hind end on that one. What are we going to do for each other? There you go. There's the thing that really P.O.s me the most. You got this parasite mindset, this European slash Asian slash African socialist parasite mindset. What are you going to do for me? I'm going to stand here and be the side bystander. No you're not. Get your hind end in gear. Congratulations. Grab that box of ammunition and get it to that soldier over there. Hey look there's wounded on a litter. Pick the litter up. You start moving your hind end. Oh by the way, we get you back to your house. You're supposed to be a farmer. You're supposed to be a producer. You're supposed to be manufacturing. Get your hind end in gear. We got work to do. That's how it works. The one thing that gets me is all these people think it's going to be some kind of television movie or some kind of theater movie where, oh look, everybody just stands around like actors. And you get to clap when everything's done while everybody else got dirty and bleeding. the bad guys don't plan on letting you do that, plan on putting you someplace or else, you know, slaving you right away. We don't plan on slaving you, we expect you as a free person to stand up with us. The goal, that's the agenda, and the bad guys are planning on doing just reverse. But again, I will point out, they're trying to engineer the conditions. We are multitasked already, people. We are trained in many tiers. We have the ability to find under any conditions, any weather, you know, anybody who's fixed for just the city, is screwed when they're pushed out of the city. Just as if we have to go into the city, we've got to understand how to convert our technologies and change our tactics accordingly. We've already done that and we have the ability to perform accordingly. We've got a caller. We'll be right back. Ladies and gentlemen, you've got Donna Mark, Intel Report. It is Weapons Wednesday.

Through the years of providing water filters to America, you've come to us and we've listened. You asked us to make the water level visible to eliminate the guesswork when refilling the water. We listened. You asked for an elevated base so the system could be used in places beside on the edge of a counter. We listened. You asked us to develop a filter that was made in the USA. We listened. You asked us to include an emergency light for camping and during power outages. We listened. After 9-11, you asked us to develop a filter that was more powerful in removing chemical agents. Again, we listened. Introducing the Berkey Light, the gravity filter requested by America, designed by Americans, and made in America. Get the Berkey light the American water purifier go to the micro effect comm and click on Berkey water filters That's the micro effect comm and click on Berkey water filters or dial 888-803-4438 Not yet available in Iowa you are listening to the micro effect got Carl Klain's music take the time To search him out and you go to the web find is still available. This is weapons say we still have down there. I'm sure yep Let's bring that caller up right away. He's been so patient. Call or jump in there, please. I'm Mark. Hey, Tom, go ahead. You heard of HR 6257? The Public Safety and Recreation Fire Protection Act, the Weapons Banter, your Authorization Act of 2008? That's one of the ten laws that they plan on passing in ten hours. Well, you know what's kind of funny is five publicans are getting a jump on the demagogues. Five publicans are doing, Republicans are doing that. And you know that, you know how It's a 39 page bill on the bottom of pages of it because I copied it last night. Do you know that they even got single shotguns or shotguns in here? Well it's a general ban this and if the fact that the republicats are all five, I haven't seen that particular, who the sponsors are that bill? Well I got it right here. Okay, they're republicans? Yep. Who's right there? Read them off. For himself, Mr. Castle, Mr. Ferguson and Mr. Shay. For I'm sorry. Now those are House of Representative members so it usually will say what state they're from. It doesn't. I've got the bill right here. It doesn't say what's named. Okay, usually it says the honorable so-and-so, you know, Fred Shmit, Wisconsin district, blah blah blah. So what we need now, go ahead and read those out. Don't go so fast. Read them slowly, all five of them, so everybody will know who the traders are. Okay, Mr. Kirk, Caswell, Mr. Ferguson, and Mr. Shays. It was four and five. Four, okay, very good. It starts on page 11. The bullets, you know, the names of the guns. Well they got something before that but it goes always for single shotgun. It's got you know single barrel shotguns like a stroker item. You mentioned in there are 50 calibers mentioned? I'll have to look through them. Before that in the, can you believe, I mean it's a 39 page ad they're gonna ban. The first part, first typically what it does is the same amended legislature as it was used before. They don't really have to rewrite what they can add to it from what was already put in place because that's the agenda here. there hasn't been any any major up sweep in anything as far as any kind of crime go they know that band didn't do any good in the band didn't change anything and the loss of the band uh... you had no significant change or in any difference or any difference no one all uh... argued would be a problem with crime however the population being armed that's one of the verified uh... well that's right about because they don't want to get their but shut up they want to be able to take from us more money and more money and grandchildren and stuff and they don't want to, you know, if they shoot us, they're telling us to have a, you know, if they die, they're going to hell and they're afraid of, I'm not going to let them, I've already drawn my mark and everybody here on this network knows they're going to stand up and say, no, you pile their kids. And we've got, you know, like the one, Teddy, I have each and, I mean, it's just a, the representatives go to visit and look at this and say, look, so they're not going to stand. I'll let you guys go. I know this has to do with weapons. People better wake up and more weapons and more ammo and dock up because I got a feeling all hell. We're going to be victorious. It might take several years like the first revolution, but we're not going to lay down and die. Roll over and let them say anything, you know. I'll let you guys go. I love you. Thank you. Again, before you go, Tom. Yeah. Read those four names one more time for everybody. Now go slowly. One name at a time and give it some space. Everybody, you got your pen and paper. Let's find out who these characters are. Go ahead. Sir Ferguson, heads up so we'll see what else is next to doing. God bless the Republic. He's there for a moment. And we are back again. Ooh, with all the noise in the background. Isn't it interesting? The fascinating thing about it is that we have a whole bunch of other work going on right now that the, hmm, I guess, what about change, guys? That isn't even, we haven't even had change yet. We already have the parasites coming out with the very legislation that Osama bin Laden has, you know, claimed that he just pulled out of his arms and was so creative about, which isn't change either. Same old day. Isn't that the case? Now, I know what's weapons, when's the time left in the hour here? We have to address mindset constantly. On the battlefield, mindset is everything. Flexibility is critical, people. Being able to bring new weapons to bear, being able to understand and use different technologies, just because you do not have the firearm, doesn't mean you aren't going to access the firearm. Remember, we're going to have to route muni- There's a big thing about the fact that some of you have, as we've been talking about, grandpa's 7.5 French rifle he brought back from World War II. You're sitting in one part of the country with a 7.5 French rifle that is actually quite serviceable. I wouldn't think twice, you give me that 7.5 Maas and I'll pick it up and I'll make it sing and I'll get what I need if I think I needed something more sophisticated, but as long as I have ammunition, I'm going to make that work. However, the problem is getting the 7.5 French Maas ammunition where it needs to be to match up to the rifle. You're going to have to start doing systematic searches and progressively there are different forums out there that are like ammo forums where people are actually routing stuff or offering stuff they have extras of. It's like the other gun show system but it's in the internet. If you go to these sites, you will find that there's a lot of odd pockets of things available. Let me give you an example. Right now, I've surveyed most every company that we know that are the big boys. 303 British is gone. Now, why would Mark bring up 303 British? Well, back in the 90s, a massive wave of British 303 Enfield rifles in every flavor came into the country. Does everybody remember that? The Enfield is a beautiful firearm. It 10 shot magazine closes on the clif- it cocks on the closing stroke. It's a little reverse of everybody's Mauser action that everybody's used to. However, the rifles are serviceable. And a lot of you need ammo. Well, hopefully you didn't blast it all, but if you did blast it, hopefully you saved the brass, because if all else fails, you're going to have to reload, reload, and reload. Okay? Everything needs to be brought up 100%. If you've got empty cases on the shelf, you need to get into reloading. You need to do it right. and that's where you're going to have to probably tap your ammunition from for the time being for those weapons British laying on the shelf somewhere but you're going to have to hunt it down the same is true of another caliber Don which kind of didn't surprise me but did 6.5 Argentine real oddball caliber most people will 6.5 I don't think I've heard of that before well back in the 60s 70s and 80s This is even in the 80s guys, in the early 90s there were still a couple companies that had a whole pile of no FFL required, no paperwork required, bolt action mousers. They averaged about $19.95 a piece. Oh boy, for $20 you had a rifle, it came straight through the mail. And many of them were 7.65 Argentine, 7mm mouser. In some cases the last ones were 8mm mouser. Now, these were not, these are pre-1898 rifles, military produced for their respective countries. They could be Argentine, Brazilian, Turkish. A lot of people bought those things or have them sitting there and a lot of them have, a lot of people have the 7.65 Argentine Mausers. And they are tech. If you've ever shot one, you will know that they are a beautiful firearm. Well, there's enough of them out there that all the 6.5 Argentine and all the places I've checked is gone. I better get another box for 2 or 3 or 5 or 10 for my old rifle there because I'm going to be using it. Now the good thing about 303B down is unique because that's a rimmed case so it's a little harder to build something from. One good thing about most of the standard rifle cases in the last 100 years, most military type, is that the base of the case is pretty much the same. In other words, on the same dimensions for instance as our .30-06 case. Now, if you need, and you better start learning to reload people, if you need 7.65 Argentine, 8mm Mauser, Boxer Prime for reloading, 7mm Mauser, you can take 30.6 brass and size it and neck it down to the dimension required. It can be done. We've done it for years. Many specialized battlefield rifle cases, because they're based on the same dimension, What you do is you take a case that is a larger size and you scale it down. You resize it down accordingly. This can be done. But again, if you're not into reloading, you better be quick on the learning curve and get into the books and do the basic reloading. I'm not telling you, I don't want you to get a $1,000 or $2,000 press. Go get yourself an O-Press, the basic dies for the calibers that you shoot. and the technical information and then start picking up the components as quick as you can. I'm going to warn you on something. Guys, the powder already dwindling too. People have already picked up on the fact that the ammo's gone, the powder's going next. Okay? So we are going to be dealing with that. We've already been sending out the informational, you know, the technology so that you can deal with the shortage powder shortage by replacing the powder with your own. That's another long-term plan, part of the long-term package issue that we've been dealing with, deep supply and support. Okay. Otherwise, because of these exotic calibers hunt down from other locations. Some people are already doing this. They have their own little watering hole, a hardware that has a nice collection of stuff, but they're an out-of-the-way place now, so not as many people go to that place. well you need to start looking for places like that what about that resale shop that's down the road maybe they haven't been that busy they only get a few customers a day on behold they had a little hardware in there and maybe they had some gun items and you look at all work guy has about twenty thirty boxes of fill in the blank there you might want to think about investing your money in buying out whatever he's got on the shelf people because that ammunition is money now has been money for a long time we've tried to explain that in the shooting world that's always been the case But now more so than ever, ammunition is less and less available. Basically been saying their march is when they're going to be resupplying if at all. Yeah, if you can back order that far, if we're still. The problem with that is, guys do the math. Aren't they talking about 10 laws in 10 hours? What Tom just brought up is exactly where the agenda is. To resupply by January, February or say March. don't sit on your laurels, don't sit there thinking, well I talked to J&G and they backordered for me and when they get the stuff in they're going to give me a call. Yeah, okay, well don't sit there for too long and wait and by the way better to have more than not enough or none. So while you're waiting for that supposed backorder, make sure that you start looking for the rest of what it is that you need via other Another thing there, looking at what's available now, at the retail end, most of the stuff should have filtered out to the shops by now, but from the Jomber end, I'll give you an example, most semi-automatic pistols and most conventional handguns have been bought up. That's interesting in and of itself, Don, because I would expect the battle rifles, but everybody has decided that they needed to top off their inventory. Yeah, 1911s, you name it, it's gone. probability again of proper replacement on the horizon because you see if it was one shop that that happened to, it would go there to the distributor and say, yeah, give me one of those, give me a pile of glocks out of your pallet there. The problem is that everybody went to the pallet at the same time and the pallet's empty. It isn't going to be that, oh, let's just jump back to, in fact, this is another thing like in the 70s. You know, Smith and Wesson did this for years down. Smith and Wesson did it differently. They intentionally created shortages. They literally money of whatever firearm, offer them up. I worked running a shop that was a distributor for Smith and Wesson, for Browning, for, what else do we have, we did, of course, they're not of course around anymore, two or three of the Magnum companies also. Now Smith and Wesson at that time was the most notorious for doing the, well, we have one Model 10, we have two of Model 59s, we have three Model 29s and one in each length barrel. And if you don't take it, somebody else is going to. We did. In many cases, there were already tags on whatever was on the list, so you were in a waiting list if the other guy didn't want it. And that's the reality for a long, long... Weatherby did something similar. Weatherby, we were Weatherby distributor. That was one. There's one of the Magnum companies you'd recognize. And we had everything from four Weatherby Magnum all the way down to their 22s. What are they offering? You didn't just go out and say, oh, I'm going to buy one of those. No, even the stores, the shops, you got to pick from what they had left. This whole thing about being in this candy store for the longest time has been creating a pampering of the people. Now, I will say again, guys, when you go to the range, you're supposed to put a target down there that represents what it is you're going to be shooting at. And the idea isn't to beat the ground around the target. If you're beating the ground around the target and there's only a few dimples in whatever it is you're shooting at, then you are failing to train. You can combat, you can train, in fact, let me do this for recommendation. If you want to understand what kind of live fire we do or what kind of training is done, and there's many, many different tiers, it's just one of many, go to libertytreeradio.4mg.com, then click onto our LTR video, our Liberty Tree video, button up in the upper left hand corner or wherever the other buttons are that are on the page. There's a line on the left hand corner on the bar that you can touch and it takes you to YouTube. Now if you want to go straight to YouTube, go to YouTube and punch in Liberty Tree Radio. LTR, Liberty Tree Radio. Then look at the training videos there. You will notice that it isn't just spray and pray. When the weapon is brought to the shoulder, you're engaging a specific target area. Now suppression fire may be hasty, but the idea behind suppression fire is still keep it into the target area or the target isn't suppressed and will feel comfortable about returning fire. So you don't just glompt and blast and spray and pray and hit the woodchuck, the chipmunk and the squirrel up in the tree, you know, the woodchuck running over off to the left that you weren't aiming at. The idea is to pick a target area, create a target condition, single either in maneuver, or even if all you're going to do is stand on the firing line and practice basic rifle marksmanship. I like either one and I don't care which you choose. That's personal preference time, guys. You have to work accordingly. Don, there's a basic philosophy on that even with .22 matched up to .50, isn't there? to a certain extent. Now that's a broad brush statement. But if you want to shoot a 50 at 1,000 yards, learn on a 22 at 100 in different wind conditions and different temperatures, that'll help you along. Exactly. And again, one of the things to remember with the overall training process here, guys, is, you know, and people go, it's only a 22. No, it's not only a 22. The 22 will get you anything else that you need. For who is fighting the Ethiopian regular military, an Ethiopian militiaman. him, he said, well you guys didn't have any weapons, you guys are pretty peaceful. He goes, yeah, yeah, we're farmers. So basically he, they asked, well, did you get your AK? He said, one night I took my knife, went out and I got my AK. And he goes, after I had my AK, they didn't bother us as much, so they came with heavier weapons. He said, yeah, one night we decided we needed tanks, we got them. We wanted artillery, out there going, oh we need, you know, you, you, we're everywhere. rub that magic crystal ball and you tell me where it's gonna drop from the sky. I know it'll drop from the sky if you're not careful. Bottom line is, is that you have to have that mindset and attitude. If you don't have it now, you have it later. Operate it. That attitude of a people is so devastating against an enemy and it's not pouring yourself in wave attack. See, idea that from so many dimensions and in so many ways you decide that you will envelop and consume our enemy constantly. If you are older, you can help. If you are younger, you can help. If you are fighting in combat age, you must help. But everybody has to pitch in and participate in their own way in the cities, on the countryside, across the multi-battle field that will be the United States. We have to be prepared for victory, people.
