Summary
Mark Koernke discussed preparedness and self-sufficiency strategies, including acquiring gear and supplies through resale shops and dollar stores to build militia readiness. He provided extensive coaching to a caller on teaching his wife proper shotgun shooting technique, emphasizing stance, breathing, body positioning, and mental discipline. Koernke also covered current firearms availability and pricing, including AR-15 and AR-10 lower receivers from Aries Armor, police trade-in Smith & Wesson M&P pistols, and discussed the Johnson rifle's unique barrel-recoil design. He encouraged listeners to build AR platforms progressively and mentioned Tom Laughlin's death.

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 won't 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 freedom 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 to live in fear and be a slave? Oh, 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 torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true. We are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watch in tremble too afraid to stand and fight If he stood by your bedside to 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 is this still the land of the free and good Afternoon ladies and gentlemen, this is the first hour of the afternoon intelligence report. I'm are creaky One day closer to victory for all of our brothers and sisters both on and behind the lines in occupied territories west, central, southeast, and east. Ladies and gentlemen, you are listening to us on... Liberty Tree Radio dot 4 mg dot com. We're on AM and FM micro stations, CB base stations, and Ultra Net Technologies east and west of the Mississippi along with Alaska. We're in the Hallmark Network on the eastern seaboard from the top of Maine to the bottom of Florida, from the bottom of Florida across the arc of the Gulf of Mexico. Headed Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Oklahoma, big chunk of Nebraska, a whole bunch of Wyoming to include both third and fifth. and our friends in the state of Colorado, the place where recall is understood. Really cool there. That means, of course, that for all of our friends listening, the next one that goes into the seat is the next one that gets a recall sheet tagged on them and boot them out. Boot them out again, boot them out again, and boot them out again. And whenever one comes in, get rid of it the same way. They're all part of the same filth, all planning the same destruction of your state. So you better make sure you be tagging them hard and harder and harder still. Every time they show up, get rid of the next one. OK? And thank you, Kentucky, real quick on that for all of our friends. New video on Liberty Tree Radio on our Liberty Tree Radio channel. And it's militia. PM13-1, 510 program. Your chance to take time, plug in there and rate it. share it and embrace the idea. We need a left coast where Feinsteinism still vomits its wretched stench and filth all that piece of gutter trash along with a diaper stain of brown, but there is a bright point on the west side of the country and that is the... that's right, the state of Jefferson. And if everybody out there in Jefferson is a Jeffersonian, they better be using the $2 bills, the $1 Jefferson coins, and all the other cool stuff that makes the state of Jefferson emphasized because you keep seeing Jefferson, Jefferson, Jefferson, Jefferson, and lots of nickels. By the way, nickels are kind of handy to have anyway in the long run, aren't they guys? Well, turning back to the east, we sweep across the plains, cold winds swept snowlands, over the burgeoning banks of the Mississippi. All that moisture goes somewhere gravity sucks and heads down. That's right, downstream. Lighting in the Smokies, where the restaurant crew's grandma teams okay teams, and the Ma Bell Grammar Consortium of retired telecommunications workers bring us the Golden Spike. Can many hands make for light work? A million Peddico junctions, the ability to continue to function when everything else is offline. I'll tell you what it is a Beautiful blue sky day it has been a wonderful well, it's the Santa Claus day We got snow on the ground sun in the air and Well some of the sky blue sky in cold so we still got the snow for the sleigh Everybody's happy that way as far as the kids go the munchkins and The rest of the troops out there do their part to get the job done. So it's pretty cool once again For everybody out there, the most important thing is that you plug in, square everything away that you need to for the cold weather operations, because you know what's going on. Now, just as well as I do. It is bitter out there. It's Michigan out here where we are. Take the time and really cool. Make sure that you again have your stuff in the car where it needs to be so that if you are out there and about you are plugged in to leave the vehicle and not worry about what it's like outside. Example, rubber boots, cold weather boots, Mickey Mouse boots, all of those are a priority. And make sure you got them where you need them so that when you got them you have them. and mittens and gloves and all the other fun stuff. You know better. You should know better by now. You hear all these people, oh my goodness, I got broke down. I didn't have anything with me. Excuse me? Yeah, think about it. Anyway, for everybody out there, oh, you just got to slap some of these idiots. Huh, well, Tom, oh, real quick, you know, hey, thanks to our friends in the Of course from the Trenches World Report, Billy Jack died. Tom Laughlin died. Billy Jack, Tom Laughlin starred dead at 82. Filmmaker Tom Laughlin, who shot the fame as the rugged half breed action hero Billy Jack, died Thursday. In Thousand Oaks, California, surrounded by his family, he was 82 years old. While involved in one point with just about every Fast of the Film business, Laughlin may have He is best known for his series of Billy Jack films. He had been married to Dolores Taylor since 1954 and she co-produced and acted in all four of the Billy Jack movies. Anyway, Billy Jack is gone. Remember he said, I'm going to hit you right there. Everybody should remember the movies. What happened from that point forward? Usually the guy ended up on the ground. Well, boot to the head. Boom, boom, boot to the head. Boom, boom, and boot to the head. Do we have Dom with us? Want to double check to make sure? He may not be with us today. We'll see what happens. And again, also, for everybody out there, a reminder, we have a new product. Interesting. We have a new, oh, Twilight Zone there kids. New product. I'm not going to cover that one yet until I reroll with you. Anyway, let's see what else. Oh, well, let's go right back to what I mentioned during our intro. We have a new video on our Liberty Tree radio channel. So if you would, take the time. plug into the liberty tree radio channel on youtube note log go to our latest posting recent postings and take the time to share in as many different places as you can through whatever one of the different mediums you use also give it a thumbs up and comment please we got a lot of work to do and no time to get it all done so Most important, the 510 program is a priority. Especially we are now into the Christmas season. I just got all... I mean, the cool stuff that you can find if you are just patient for either free or if I were actually out and about. and I were trying to put out like I said this morning trying to put a my own kit together somebody made a comment on the video oh I thought you had to get your own stuff I was told you have to get your own stuff yes you do as a militia person yes you're supposed to be man enough responsible that you go and get your own stuff that is right what part of that is a man do you not understand your own gear your own equipment whatever It doesn't have to be the latest Hollywood BS. I'm not looking for a fashion statement. I'm looking for who shows up ready to play on the team, kids. Now, if you show up bare butt naked because somebody stripped you of whatever you had, you got out of the house barely alive, and you're all PO'd, I'll outfit you top to bottom. We'll go kill the suckers who just attacked your place. We will wipe them out. We will go hunt them down and we'll go gut them all. Okay, how's that sound? But, I don't care who you are, you can't tell me. that you can't go out and a few dollars at a time put together what you need. Here's the thing, resale stores. OD Green Clothing. There is so much LL Bean and Dockers and Billy Bop and all kinds of other special like, especially now that a lot of people that were around 23 years ago are getting into retirement age, they got chubbier and they're selling stuff out, it's getting donated if it isn't being thrown into the rag bin. OD Green and Savannah Tans, Browns and all that are out there in force. Doesn't have to be camouflage. You could have three sets of really good cargo pants, web gear, or forgive me, cargo pants, jackets, field coats, goose down. And whatever you need, it's sitting there. And it's on the shelf, it's on the racks, and it's pennies. We're talking nothing for what you talk about being able to pick up. Very high quality stuff. Okay, so you can't tell me you can't get the clothing. As far as gear goes, come on, backpack. So it's not the latest and greatest, you know, it's not molly gear, yeah, big deal. I don't carry molly gear. Okay, point. Well, it's the same with web gear and equipment. You know, I've gone to every one of these resale chefs, we found pistol belts, eight suspenders, got those for nothing. They didn't even know what the hell they were. Okay, canteens, hey, if all else fails, two water jugs, go to the recycle bins. Congratulations, people toss out all these promotional water containers they're getting non-stop from any number of different health food operations, and they're in either ash, slash smoked or their OD green. I got a whole bag full of them. They're brand new. Still have the papers in them. You know, this is a great story, you know, storage or water, water jockeying system. So I got six of them. You know, what they're going to do, they're going to be exactly what I mentioned. They're going to be handouts for a 5-10 program. Somebody needs something? You got a water bottle? No. Here you go. Congratulations. Oh, well, our army canteen. That's the best we got for now. You want army canteen? Go kill one of those suckers on the other side. We'll get you an army canteen. How's that sound? I had army candies. I already issued those out to a bunch of other guys. This is what you get. Congratulations. Motivate Kill. Go find them. Okay? Same is true with footwear, socks. I mean, if you go around to the back of the store where they toss stuff out a lot of times, guys, you will find tons of stuff. Stainless Steel. I got two brand new, literally brand new, Sierra cups. Where were they? They were in the recycle bin. They were down the road in a recycled bin along with a stainless steel cook pot, two stainless steel frying pans, a stainless steel teapot, and everything was like, oh, this is going into the, you know, the restore kit. No, this is for, you know, restore for a family or something like that. And I've got everything to put a kitchen together, a top everything else I was looking for. But as far as the Sierra cups, you know how stupid price those are right now? And they were US made brand back in the day. These are the ones that you had to have if you had a backpack and you had to go out and camp and you knew what you were doing as opposed to us peasants who used to go camping with a canteen cup. You had to have a Sierra cup to have your little finger up and your nose off. So I got two Sierra cups and cost me nothing plus a whole bunch of other gear. And it all goes in the backpack. See, progressively and between that, all the other, again, dollar store stuff, guys. Dollar store and resale shop. If that's the best you can do, that's what you do. Why? Because you save your money up as best you can for whatever weapon you can get your hands on to arm up and to have ammo. Seriously. I like, in fact, I'll point out equipment. When I see it and if it's cheap why? Because if you get cheap this way you can get more other stuff and if you can get more other stuff You'll be better equipped and if you're better equipped you'll contribute to the battle if you contribute to the battle We're gonna have a better time of getting rid of the problem and the sooner we get rid of the problem The sooner the war is over see how that works the sooner the war is over So look at it this way for you know for they will have the nail so we don't lose the shoe because we don't lose the shoe We won't lose the horse If we don't lose the horse, we won't lose the rider. If we don't lose the rider, the message will get where it needs to go. And the battle will be fought properly. Remember that poem? For the lack of a nail, a shoe was lost. For the lack of a shoe, a horse was lost. For the lack of a horse, a rider was lost. Yes, right through to the, for the lack of, a battle was lost. And for the defeat, and that battle lost, a war was lost. Cascade, cascade, cascade. How about we think about that in advance? Waiting to the last minute. Everybody wants this. Wait to the last minute, BS. This is a long-term commitment. The founding fathers, what were they doing at Concord? What were they doing all across the colonies? Storing up, arming up, putting in deep stack, deep supply, larders, so that when the time came, the troops wouldn't have to scurry about starving. Later on they would come about because people didn't stay focused. And some people wanted to, I'm going to play it safe, I'm going to play both until they got their house burned. And then all of a sudden they were PO'd, whereas before, see they thought they were some kind of special thing because the British liked me, the Crown likes me, but they don't like you. No, the Crown didn't like anybody. They hated all of you. They looked at you as nothing more than the other doormat that's useful because you're stupid enough to lay down and be a doormat. That was for the idiots who were dumb enough to think they had some kind of deal, which is the biggest, saddest joke of the bunch. The subjects. Anyway. It is, by the way, Monday. It's been a beautiful day, guys. Get a lot done. Oh, and found treasures, the likes of which would keep me, if I were in the field, alive for a long time. Most important is take advantage of the Thanksgiving sales. I mentioned before, here we are going to Christmas, and the exact same things you're selling for Thanksgiving are, of course, as because they have turkey on them. They have a turkey on them. It looks like it might be a Thanksgiving thing. Oh, they got to mark those down to a quarter of what they were. And right next to them is the other item coming in which is, well, the stuff everybody's selling for Christmas to use for a Christmas dinner like they did Thanksgiving. Hey, why would I do that when I can buy that? And I know that that's only what? So many days earlier on the shelf and that's it. So common sense also. Let's see, again, breads, pastas, dry pasta in retort pouches, guys. Virtual MREs or field ration bags, cans and pouches. Everything is set up that way right now. Pretty well airtight sealed. So if you're looking for rations to supplement, and again you want to stack and rack, you want to diversify also, the most important thing is that whatever it is you're going to go with, watch for these sale items. Again, we're saving money there so we can try to get you something in the other area that will make a difference, that will help you out. Interestingly enough, one of the things I am noticing this year, I don't know if you guys have a little bit of a sale. Here we are, we are less than two weeks away from Christmas right now. It is the 16th of December 5th year of open Fabian Socialist and Soviet Socialist Occupation of America with a K. What that means, 2013 Old Earth calendar or mine, crazy town calendar, that means we are looking at what nine days and in the firearms industry no Christmas final warm fuzzy anywhere in fact pretty much well it's like those little glocks and I know again I'm not excited about glocks and a lot of you guys are either but you know it's fascinating those those little pocket pistol glocks they were in 40 caliber 50 of them were in there Friday when we did the program. By the time we were halfway through the program, there were only 35 left. By the time Saturday morning rolled around, they were all gone. Maybe one of you got one of them, I don't know. Again, it's a .40 caliber, they were a neat little pistol. The first thing I'd jump at, but for $400 a piece, Well, again, if that's what you wanted, you wanted, I think part of the selling feature was it said Kentucky State Police on the slide. It was stamped as a factory gun for, you know, it was a custom gun for the state police in Kentucky. So again, it is collector's item, by the way. That would be a collector's Glock. In the long run, that would be with a lot more than probably any of the other Glocks out there that you'd have on the shelf. Know that for a fact historically. They collected weapons for a long time, watched the value of weapons rise and fall. Typically they don't fall very much anymore anywhere, as we know, and you've seen what's happened there. But it's interesting, there's like a pitch, and then there's a little roll down, and then they zip back up as they progressively step through the years. But with weapons like that, when they're stamped for a department or something, automatically those are collectors' items. They are just gone. They will be something that we can benchmark this and it is a specialized, it is a special order custom made by Glock and blah blah blah. The other thing about that is AIM surplus. More gun for less money. They have Smith and Wesson, the M&Ps in .40 caliber. for $375. For $25 less you've got a full-size handgun, .40 caliber, magazines readily available just like the Glock. In fact there's a lot more for those M&Ps that are out there and these are used, these are police trade-ins from AIMSurplus.com. The Vorticand ammunition is out there in force, the weapon itself, serviceable gun, everybody at We Fact Several people listening, right now I know are carrying that particular weapon. They like it, they really do. They are very comfortable with the firearm. It's a Smith, it's only a few years old I am sure, no more. But these are again .40 caliber which there are magazines for. Apparently the 9's are harder to get mags for. There's a 9mm version of the same pistol. And again that's why we're scouring the countryside so our people get them. We're looking for them right now. Well, let's see what else did we have here? I wanted to touch on again. No sales that I mean nothing that's jumping off the wall. Let somebody else see something that I missed and I need a whole lot like you said that's gonna make me go wild right now. As a matter of fact, just a reverse. For everybody out there going to ariesarmor.com. Again, if you're gonna do something that's a real great gift that's really fairly, it's reasonably priced for what it is. If you go to Aries Armor, A-R-S-R-M-O-R dot com, A-R-S-R-M-O-R dot com, Aries Armor dot com, A-R-S-R-M-O-R dot com, phonetic, A-R-E-S-A-R-M-O-R, that's the way to remember it, A-R-S-R-M-O-R dot com. If you go there, then go to their homemade gun section and go to the Polymer receivers. Right now, they've got the Polymers, although I don't know what they, they've been going through a ton of them. They went through 50% this weekend. I don't know what they have left until I pull it up. Wow, they got, okay they got, they restocked. Wow. Ooh, they really restocked. Something funny happened here. Well it's cool, actually, but what's in, maybe Christmas holidays. Maybe somebody told them, maybe we'll stock up for the holidays. They just restocked, they even got some more pink ones in. You guys ate up a whole bunch of the pink ones. Nothing says love like a Hello Kitty pink AR-15 kit under the Christmas tree. But they now have 850 of the black polymer lower AR-15 receivers, which they were down to about 100 and some of those. And I've got to say, they've gone through 300 or 400 in the last four or five days. So I understand probably why they've been doing that. They are restocked on the coyote, slash the desert sand brown. They've restocked on the OD Green, although it looks like they've already got a chunk of the OD Green being sold again. They're way down on the Zombie Green. Even from this morning, they've sold 100 and some, which is cool. Christmas presents, guys. This is a great Christmas gift. This will put more AR-15 rifles out there. $69 a piece, you've got an 80% lower receiver. You can go through a dozen different companies and get the parts, so a little more on that in a second. and you got yourself a whole bunch of AR-15 buddies out there, you know, guys and gals. And if it's a Hello Kitty pink AR-15 and they show up for the battle, I'll hug and kiss them along with everybody else and say thank you for showing up and I don't care what you've got in your hands. Although, we're going to break out the paint and probably cover up your Hello Kitty for a little bit. Sorry about that. The pink will be okay initially. Urban warfare, probably not a problem at all. Out in the field we don't have a whole lot of pink things in the middle of the winter, so you might want to make a snow jacket for that. Hey, you girls could do that. How to do that. Anyway, as long as we might have a caller, who do we have? Mark? Jump in the car. Yeah, I've got a question for you. I bought a gun for my wife and I had her out in the backyard today. We were letting her fire it for the first time. It said H&R 1871, the Remington 700, or Remington 870 knockoff. And when she's out there firing it, she seems to be racking the fore end, so a kind of half-cock. And we've got to cycle through it twice to get the empty shell out. Can you tell me what we're dealing with there or how I can... Are you watching her? It's after she pulls the trigger, it's half-cocked or it's half-racked? No, what I had her do was at first she had like a death grip on the forearm and I got her right to rest her forearm. I know how that is. Okay, yeah. Okay. I got her to just rest the forearm, the foregrip on her hand and evidently her reflexes are so fast that by the time she pulls the trigger and the explosion occurs, She must grab the forearm and start to pull it back a little bit. Or the cycling of the gun is making it a couple. I'll tell you what, have her arrest the trick to do this for you. Or videotape it. Today you can set up your camera and videotape. I would recommend that you videotape it and watch her to see what she's doing to be quite honest. You are the one who has been coaching her. The basic rule is remember you will see this with a lot of ladies. They have a tendency and two things. They have nice places that we enjoy and why we like them as girls that create a different center of mass for the upper part of their body. Number one, it is a lot tougher to get the girls to push into and to lean forward into the weapon. Now if the weapon seems to be waiting for them. Then have them do what they're having all the barrel draggers do in all of these you know combat videos Bring the weapon down to the rest tell her you know practice with her ready on the left right in the right fire you know fires mark your lanes fire boom Have her come up onto target and fire okay, but have her work into now We don't want her so far forward that she's off balance, but you need to have her number one leaning into the weapon I know it's tough because a lot of girls like to, I've seen this a million times, and you'll see this in videos on YouTube all the time, they'll actually be laying their shoulder back. We need to put their body forward, first of all. Get them to breathe more get them used to the idea of them, you know, tell them it's the Lamaze of the firing range Okay, dear I'll gotta learn to keep breathing number one because that's the other part of the problem The reason they clutch and whatever is to a degree their eyes are swimming a little bit It sounds weird, but it's true with with excited individuals new shooters and such So get them into breathing first number one once you get up on the range lean into the weapon and They're gonna have to cradle that front. That front grip is the control component for the gun, I mean for the shotgun. Now if you can get her to the point where she'll just hesitate long enough, again pull the trigger, relax, pull the trigger, and then work through the action. The recoil will assist along with her reflex action because it seems like you said to be pretty sharp, and the weapon will cycle flawlessly. The big thing is getting her to calm down, Remember, it's not going to hurt you, it's not a snake. The big thing there, as you know, and I know we've talked about this many times, shoulder weld and cheek weld are the most critical there. Then bringing that shoulder in and forward so that the shoulder isn't pitched sideways and back because the ladies have a tendency to kind of work off their center. You have to remind them that they need to lean in. A good way to do this is just like in Total Recall. Remember the original movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger? Remember they start out with her and she is playing tennis in the apartment? She is practicing and you have her watching another woman and finally she follows through and it is perfect form. Well, what we want to do is take her to a YouTube video. Go into YouTube yourself and start searching out some of these female, these woman shooters, especially the shotgun shooters. What you want her to do is watch what they're doing. Now the cool thing is that a lot of them are using either an 870 or 1100 gun to begin with because that's a real popular competition gun as it is. Even though it's probably going to be a lot more expensive than anything you and I would normally buy. They're beautiful firearms. The girls typically, again, you tell her just watch what they're doing. Notice how their bodies are moving. Those girls don't have any more upper body strength than any other lady out there. They might work out a little bit because they're athletic, I'm sure. But the biggest thing is that they've mastered a combination of the excitement which is a good thing. Fastest Lightning works really well if you can get it under control. Ladies will out shoot men in a whole bunch of different categories and Shotgun seems to be a good one for them. The thing there is take her to a couple of videos and have her watch. Don't take her to anywhere they're abusing anybody where somebody's getting hurt. Don't even do that in video form when you're doing that with a young shooter. show only positive feedback and only positive forward progression towards development of their skill. So there's a lot of good ladies, in fact there's a lot of good girls. There's 11 year olds, 12 year olds, 15 year olds that are out there that are just blasting away with a 12 gauge or a 20 gauge all day. And that's what you need to show her, especially in the combat guns. I don't have my Facebook in front of you. There's a couple of women that are that wanted to be friends that are shooters and one of the things I noticed is that they do shotgun a lot and They're really good at it. They're actually pretty good at everything They pretty well put to their shoulder boat. I can see because some of them even fire Barrett's so the big thing is breathing to begin with If need be tell remind them and again talk them through while you're training, you know again stay But here's the thing don't you know, you know not to bark I don't bark at my students when I'm training anybody to shoot. It's you stay calm and they'll stay calm. In other words, a flat voice just like you're an air traffic controller. You know, steady the shoulder, steady the shoulder, watch your cheek weld, lean into the weapon, a little more, that's good, not too far, lean into the weapon, find your balance. Now the other part about that which will create greater confidence is watch your footwork. Because, again, the girls don't need to be too far. There are two things you'll see. Either the legs are too close together, that's going to take them over backwards, or they're too far apart and they have a tendency to overstretch, which again creates discomfort, you're losing oxygen, and that means the upper body suffers for what the lower part of the body is doing. So it's got to be something in the medium range and that typically is a little over or about shoulder width apart. leaning with the knees slightly bent, the hips slightly bent forward, every part of the body mutually supporting and that's where you got a might want to experiment is have her take the unloaded weapon and have her close her eyes. This is another part of the technique that I've used for years. I always talk this myself for using with any pistol or gun shooting that I'm doing. Find, close your eyes and then separate your legs by about shoulder width. Now, feel them. Literally, feel them. Settle yourself. Does that feel comfortable for me? Okay, that's where I need to be. Now, what about my hips? Are my hips where they belong? Okay, now I've got those rested on top of them. There's my gun platform. Now, from the hips forward with a little bit of bend of knees, so I'm not just like when you're in the army and they told you don't lock up your knees if you're going to be at parade rest. You lock up your knees and parade rest or when you're standing at attention guys you'll be on the ground passed out after a while. Same is true with your legs and knees when you're on the shooting range. A little bit of flex, okay, but shoulder width apart, one foot, your left foot if you're a right-handed shooter, typically forward first. Breathe a little more, we know where our hips are. Now we take our weapon and shoulder it, make sure we've got a good shoulder weld, make sure we've got a good cheek weld. We're gonna worry about our sight alignment in a minute here. We've already figured that if we've got our cheek where it's supposed to, we're going to make those sites line up progressively once we've got attention to detail. We're going to bring the weapon up and we're going to lean into the weapon when we're ready to fire. We don't have to hold for very long. This is the other thing. Don't keep them up there. Remember, excitement, lack of oxygen, you're going to start to shake and quake. So have them bring the weapon down to barrel dragger position, low station and rest, and tell them that, low station and rest. Then bring the weapon up and lean into the weapon and fire on my command. And if you repeat that first, find their center, work on their body, Even oxygenate them in advance. This is one thing, it's just like when you work out. You know, do some breathing if you want to. We're going to have to practice at this. And dear, I'm going to do this with you, okay? We're going to breathe. We're going to breathe. Okay, there we go. And are we steady? We know what we're doing with our weapon. We got the shotgun. Very good. We're going to bring the shotgun into position. Before we do that, proper stance. There we go. Feet shoulder-width apart, toes properly pointed. Girls are pigeon-toed, so suffer with the way it looks. That's because they are better runners than we are too. You know what? That sounds weird but have you noticed something? The better runners are pigeon-toed in girls. Period. That's one thing I will tell you. You used to run track and it's like, man, she tends to sit there like the feet kind of going in. But in reality, the girls that are like that have a tendency to put all toes on the ground where they need to be at the same time and they will run your arse to shame. So that's not a bad thing. I guess it's the way girls are supposed to be. But again, footwork, stance, lower structure, stable, upper structure, ready, gun in, port, low position, what I call muzzler. I don't like muzzle dragging guys. I really don't. Shotgun especially. because there's a big tube there that can scoop up a whole lot of dirt. Now I was taught a long time ago keep that muzzle up out of everything. But this is the way we're going to do it because of the shooter and again the nature of the weapon. So, muzzle down, ready on the left, ready on the right, ready on the firing line, breathe as we come up, halfway out and lean into the weapon and squeeze and boom and racket and again boom. Now, the weapon is going to bring them back, as you know, so have them lean back into the weapon. Remind them to lean into the weapon. Remember, lean into the weapon. Don't try to follow up from that position. In other words, recover. That's the term. Recover. And get used to the idea that they'll think for themselves, recover. Because, typically, what happens is a combination of recoil. Now, here's the cool thing. It takes longer to describe it, but what you can do, I would set up a camera off to the side. Seriously. And that gives you a chance to actually watch to see what's happening because the action is so quick that while we can certainly memorize it and see what's going on, kind of figure out. We have this neat thing called technology which really assists us a lot. And it helps with every aspect of what we're doing and what is a very competitive situation here. We're trying to get the first shot out and put the target down and we're trying to do it in such a way that we can follow up if there's another bad guy. It's fun anyway. I would just like to do it like Total Recall. Take her to a bunch of sites, have her watch these really cool girls as they get all focused, and if you've got to put some racing stripes on her, do that. I would have her throw some combat camo on or whatever it is. Make her feel like she's a participant too. Get into the niche. Whatever it is that's going to make everybody get into the niche. And his spree decor really does count for something in there. Just like with teams. What do teams do? They wear the same colors. They all look the same. They all are part of a team. That's another thing. Get everybody motivated that way. Come on, we're all part of the team. We're all working the same group. And we all got our colors. So now let's go to town. Let's get our baseball. Everybody got your baseball cap? Everybody got your cap? Yeah, look at that. There we go. We all got the same camo. We already got the same color. And we all got the same shotgun, right? Yeah, well, no. But we're close enough. That'll work. So, that's mostly, again, it's progression. She's a new shooter with this gun, right? Yes, she is. Yeah. So, it's just, you know, she's... Is it a 12 gauge? No, it's 20. Oh, don't worry. You just get to get used to it. I mean, that's all I'd treat it with. It's like, oh, it's a 20 gauge? Oh, no problem. No, I'm going to tell you something right now. I've had with a 20 gauge for almost all my life. And yes, I have 12 gauges, 8.70s, I bought Ithaca Model 37s when they were cheap because everybody thought they needed an 8.70. Then I waited until everybody bought lots of 8.70s and then I bought the 8.70s cheap because people had bought enough of them. I used to go to gun shows guys, used to set up at the gun shows and I watched that cycle. And now the Model 37s are so stupid priced you really don't even want to... Oh man, I ain't going to go buy one of those, I can't afford them unless you can find it a yard sale or something. It's a good gun, 20 gauge is excellent, it will kill bunnies and big creatures just fine and it comes in just as wide a variety today as in shells as the 12 pretty much. The big thing there is she's got a good weapon, not looking at extreme recoil. The only consideration if she feels like it's biting a little bit is does it have a soft or does it have a hard butt plate. No, it's kind of a spongy, but it's okay. She's got good show. We worked on her shoulder well, then her cheek well first, then her posture. We're about halfway there. After what you just got through saying, right now we're going to jump on. I'm going to look at some YouTubes and get her to visualize it. And then if her shoulder is uncomfortable enough shape, we will go out there and try it a little bit more and see. We're working at it just like you said, calmly, directly. It's got to be her friend. She's got to be comfortable with it. And then we're just going to work on her technique. I'd say she's about halfway there. It was just the stickler of the trying to figure out what the heck was going on. If her shoulder is acting up, remember, if she feels like she has a little felt recoil, part of that is, like I said, upper body strength, remember, lean more in and keep an eye on the shoulder well. That's the big thing because it should just tug. I mean, it's a 20 gauge. It will tug. She's not a boxer. Ladies are not boxers anyway, despite all the BS you see with, you're these tough women in their boxers. It's like, yeah, well, that's the few and far between. Girls aren't really built for that, and they're not supposed to be doing that. It doesn't mean they can't defend themselves. They can. But in this case, the big thing is if she's moving weight forward and her body weight will help to compensate for that recoil. See, that's the other part about that. It's like dance. There's nothing girls can relate to. It's like dance. In the advanced phase, when you pull that trigger, your body weight is moving to a degree forward. You're flowing with the weapon cycle. You're going to move into it. It's going to push you back. You are going to move back into the weapon. You are racking the shotgun and you are working. In fact, you want your body to flow with this so that as you recoil, you are then working the action. But when you move forward, that slide is going right back into battery and you are dropping right back into the niche. Right back into the slot. You are there. And that is really how it works. It is a dance cycle. There are no things you can relate to. Think about it that way. It is a dance cycle. It is tough. The good thing is she didn't get hurt or anything. We already talked about that so I would think you would be an issue. That's a problem with a lot of people. They think it's funny to get somebody hurt. They have them get hurt and that will teach them a lesson. The problem is it's a negative feedback thing. You'll be trying to unflinch the person forever. I don't care what it is. I've been bit by I'm 56 and I'll guarantee you that I still subconsciously because I know. I'll even hesitate on certain things. I'll look and I know where it came from. I can tell you right to the scar of my hand where it came from. I agree with you and before we spent a good probably an hour and a half hour 45 minutes going through all of this as a discussion and in preparation for it. So, she's got the concept down and we discuss things and we're out there to learn and have a good time. He's serious, but it's going to be great. But enjoy it. Yeah. And just for the record, it fits well. So, it handles well for her. It's got to put down for her. So, it's just a matter of us adjusting with like you said the breathing, getting a little bit better body posture leaning into it. I think that'll work. One of the things too is that down the road work with it. Okay dear, we're gonna work as a team once you've got her working on this. Remember you break out two guns and it's like okay, you're gonna back me up and fire and fire and then immediately immediate action and fire and fire and that's something it really ladies are used to you know, and it's not following you just remember in dance and everything else they kind of work that way. But the idea is to get them used to the idea that they're working in a team and it's a natural thing. It's a natural thing. Everybody's doing this, don't worry. Everybody's part of it. And boom, boom. Nice thing is 22s are obviously a lot less punishing. But even in 22s I've seen this. Like I said, girls have a tendency to pull back because they're counter-weighting for what they have in the way of fundamental engineering. Top body, you know, the upper body. I don't care how big or how small they are, they have a tendency to do that. And the body strength issue is the other thing. So what we've got to do is get them used to resting when they can. And this is for all of our listeners. You're asking a question that really is critical here because even if you're a combat soldier, guys, remember, if you're paying attention, you can't be on constant edge as far as upper musculature. You can't. Your body's not going to handle it. So, the basic rule is whenever you can rest, you do rest, but it is a preparatory rest. And government research and your tax dollars paid for all of this for a year. In fact, over the years they paid for every hour of research and development on ergonomics and manpower conservation. It's all been done. It's already in the books. And shooters are no different. Remember, if you're a competition shooter, You're in the rest everything I told you about with the lower body is in place You're listening to the cycle and cadence of the range officer ready on the right Ready on the left and even as that's happening you're going through literally as a mental cycle like a an astronaut and ready on the left ready on the right ready on the firing line fires mark your lanes the target turns and bop bop bop bop bop bop In fact, I was slow on that, but I got time. Okay. Otherwise five rounds in about four seconds or less, typically three and a half to four seconds. And each of those rounds will touch each other and will stay within about a quarter. Now, how does that happen? The weapon comes up, it is in rest position. You're taking an oxygenating the system. You hear the cadence of the call. You know the target will turn. You're bringing it up. and recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop, recover mop You don't try to look down the sights. Your eyes never leave the target, but you bring the weapon down and to rest. You rest the upper part of your body. You drop the mag. You may change the mag. You introduce a new mag. You reload the weapon. The next cycle is about to come up. Ready on the left, ready on the right, ready on the firing line, fire. Mark your lanes and bop, bop, bop, bop, bop. And rest. And cycle complete. Thank you very much for the time. So those are going to take the same discipline and the discipline you're teaching with the shotgun will go right over into the rifle and everything else she wants to pick up. That is the plan. We've got plenty of opportunity to diversify. That's the other advantage of the AR, again I've said this a million times for the ladies, for the children. You know, as Sergeant E. used to say, it's a piece of junk, but it's a neat piece of junk. For what it was intended to be used for, the AR-15 fits the niche that we need it, you know, where we need it. Not everybody is going to be combat infantry, but people need a weapon that's going to be able to work and is reliable. The AR-15 in its administrative role, as it was originally intended, would serve exactly the purpose for everybody out there listening. There's nobody that can't handle an AR-15. It was meant for the Air Force. It was meant for a military force that doesn't fight on the ground typically, but if they do, they need something that is minimal time, minimal recoil, focus on target, get the job done. That's what it was. It got stuck over us because certain people had money invested in certain things and Mr. Stoner himself even said that's not the rifle I intended for the infantry. But, oh well, hey, his name's on it, it works so, you know, live with it guys. We got lots of them out there and it's a good weapon for the girls and you can build one up even, you know, progressively through Christmas or beyond and she could have a person, she can build that. You know what I would do with her? You know, be quite honest. If you're going to build an AR, let her pick out the parts. Isn't it nice to be able to pick out your own car? Yes, I do. She's going to drive it. Might as well let her figure out what you want. What are you going to drive, dear? What do you want to drive? It even comes in pink. Remember that line from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? It even comes in the color black. Remember? Speaking of the AR-10 or AR-15. You're welcome. Hold on a second. Who else do we have there? Speaking of the AR-15 or AR-10. I didn't know if the difference between a .308 or .223 as far as recoil and handability of that system. Oh no, that just hit. When Stoner came up with the AR-10, it was his intention that that's where we were going to be was with a .308. The nature of that recoil system, it can handle pretty much anything in the standard rifle calibers. I like it. I can shoot one hand all day and it doesn't climb. I like it. I like a Tommy gun. Before I forget too, by the way, and I didn't notice this until this morning, Aries Armor, for those who everybody wants to build, and now if you've already got an AR-10 on the shelf, they have... Excuse me. Hold on here a second. I've got to get to the right spot on the page. They have AR-10s right now. AR-10 lowers right now, so you can build a no paperwork AR-10 for a pretty reasonable price. Let's see, yep, I'm gonna go to AR-10s. There we go. I don't think they might even have their 1911 stuff back in. But if you go to aluminum, let's see, what do they have? Uh-oh, wow, they've been selling these out. 80% AR-10 DPMS 308 raw for $99 for the lower receiver. So they do have them in stock. They got 129 of them. And then they've got the 80% lower receiver jig, 308, for $150 and they only have five left. When I looked just a couple days ago, they had over 100 plus of those. So they have been moving them, but they've also been moving the lowers. So, if you want to build a matching, if you already have a 308, they have a 308 in stock. They have the AR-10 lower receiver in stock. And it's a DPMS 80% lower, so it's about as good as you're going to get. DPMS are, you know, again, it's just as good as anything else out there right now. I wonder if I can get anybody to build one at 30.06. That'd be cool. No, well, the thing is, the magazine well would still be the issue. You'd have to go up yet again. And the thing is, what they've done with the latest, I believe that this is what I'm looking at here. See the new AR-10s, there's two AR-10 variants now. There's the original AR-10 which was full size, scaled full size. And then there's the AR-10 where the upper receiver and the lower receiver on the AR-10s will all interchange. But the lower, actually the back of it, the trigger group, is AR-15. So, in other words, what they did is they came up with a way to use or take advantage of as many other parts as possible without going to the upscale format AR-10. So, there's a couple variations on the theme. And I'm pretty sure, although this is DPMS, so I'd have to research. I haven't even looked to see what these are yet. But they are. And again, if you're looking for building a 308 AR-15 platform, an AR-10 platform, they're on sale, $99 per blank. They do have the jigs but they're down to 5 jigs. I'm going to tell you they had hundreds of them the other day. They had the jigs but they didn't have the lowers. Now they've been selling the snot out of the lowers and they've been selling out of the jigs. The cool thing is that once you have the jig it looks like it's one of the permanent ones. So it's good for other rifles. So if somebody wanted to get together and build some AR-10s, this would be an option. There are 308 uppers out there, you can buy them complete. I think that's how I'd go with a 308. You're talking about the Johnson rifle a little while back here? Yeah. I looked it up on gunpartscorp.com on their schematics. They have the LMG and the regular version. The LMG looks like it has a buffer type. Yes, it was a very unique design. In fact, it was a good weapon. That's not a gas operated rifle is it? Well, the whole barrel recoil is to the rear. In fact, the Johnson rifle does the same thing. What's interesting is that was why they had an issue with the bayonet. Because the Johnson bayonets are rarer in chicken teeth, but they are out there. In fact, a bunch of them came in back in the 80s. They came from the Philippines and the bayonet was worth as much as the rifle was. The barrel reciprocates to the rear a little bit before she sticks. The whole barrel assembly moves. So when you jab somebody, the barrel is going to give a little. That was one of the things they had to teach the Marines how to properly deliver. What they did was their rifle. The Johnson and the Johnson light machine guns were Marine Corps weapons only. It was a uniquely marine thing and they made it work. Kind of like a miniature howitzer or the barrel. Well a 10 shot rotary magazine game, a couple more rounds in the grand too. Just kind of cool. We're out of the top here. We gotta go to break for the moment. God bless the republic. Oh, that's the new world order we shall prevail ladies and gentlemen the Empire's on the run we're on the margin we'll be back in about six seven minutes here you gotta go get a cup of coffee do that second hour coming up here LTR it's live and Monday HempUSA.org urges everyone to plan ahead for possible food shortages in the future.

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. 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 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 is 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? O 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 torch of freedom burning bright. As I awoke, he'd vanished in the mist for whence he came. His words were true, we are not free, but we have ourselves to blame. For even now as tyrants trample each God given right we only watching tremble too afraid to stand and fight if he stood by your bedside to 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? Is this still the land of the free?
