New American Truth

No matter which type we are talking about, there is always a hero (or collection thereof) and man’ heroic struggle to survive or overcome. The ones that offer us any insight, and probably the best entertainment, are the ones about individuals or small groups; not those that focus on government solutions.

The only way to survive a violent attack and emerge victorious against evil is to train for it and respond to it with greater justified and completely moral violence. Until that reality becomes accepted and spread through our schools, violence will continue; the loss of innocent lives will continue; and politicians will continue to use such horrific events, leveraging them for their own power-grabbing agendas.

The law was given a nice simple name, picked by a team of politicians, I’m sure, to make it easily identifiable, short and somehow emotionally catching. But a law about “universal background checks” will no more be only about background checks than “Obamacare” (see? Just one word) is ONLY about extending health insurance to those too poor (or lazy) to afford it.

Let’s recognize that, thanks to the popular movies and television shows, most of us consider survival as having a combat/defense component. Sometimes it’s against a hoard of shuffling zombies and sometimes it’s against a well-organized pack of cannibals.

If you’re not familiar with “Gibbs’ Rules” I invite you to do a Google search and you’ll find several reference sites with them. In the Borelli household we have a set of rules as well, but never before had I tried to actually list them. I could cite them, but they weren’t numbered like Gibbs’. SO… it was suggested to me that I do precisely that.

In this article we’re going to look at a few of the more popular handgun designs for the 9x19mm Parabellum, the pros and cons of each, and solicit your feedback on which is your preferred or favorite pistol (in this caliber).

I have a supply of ammo and I regularly grow it. I have a supply of long-term storable food and I regularly grow it. I have skills I can certainly trade, not the least of which is a broad general knowledge base and a strong back mixed with a willingness to work hard. So, what am I missing?

As of November 14th, 2012 at approximately 0630 hours eastern time, there are open petitions filed on the White House Petition website, filed by citizens from 46 states (so far), requesting the peaceful secession of their state from the United States.

As with all other systems mentioned, the final value of your Bug Out Bag depends on your dedication to it. The water is only any good if you change it out at regular intervals and keep the storage system clean. The food will only be good if you change it out within the recommendations on the packaging. Even band-aids go bad eventually.

Those veterans who are reading this may well understand though that it isn’t easy at all to spend lives. Inevitably those lives you can spend are those lives you are most hesitant to sacrifice.
