On one hand, it would be nice if he died a horrible and painful death. On the other, I would prefer him to do so after failing to win an 2nd American Civil War. if there is an inevitable fight, I want the enemy leadership to be the dumbest and most clumsy jackasses possible. That would save lives for the good guys, and make Reconstruction easier to complete.
I don’t. However, it is the most obvious way for other nations to attack America without drawing attention. Hopefully, the same vulnerability would also allow the John Browns of our time to crack open concentration centers from the inside.
I have a prediction: the more professional and organized members of ICE would actually be foreign agents, causing problems at key points. Say, for example, “vanishing” unfriendly politicians. ICE is the perfect cover: Low recruitment standards, no regulation, bounties for those times you need to get money, and no one able to ask questions.
It would be the chaotic and unprofessional members of ICE that are native to the USA. Those would be just into ICE for the money and racism, not patriotism to their nation. This will become a “Lions Led by Donkeys” episode in a decade or two.
Incoming drones are one of my worries. If anything calls for emptying a clip, it would be that situation.
If you talking shotguns, I am an amateur, so use a hefty block of salt: I have a VR80. It is a semi-auto that uses magazines, which should make it better for military situations. My guess is that if civil war breaks out, both sides will initially be recruiting troops with whatever kit they happen to have - formal outfitting by Blue States would depend on where and when you are, so it would be better to bring a gun that is fit for combat in the first place. If you live in California or other restrictive states, you remove a pin and split the gun in half, allowing the mag release to operate. Apparently a small piece of the tool can be removed to permanently enable the mag button.
The VR80 will take a good number of rounds fired before it starts to loosen up. Jamming is an issue during the break-in, but that is fine if you are practicing. This weapon in particular prefers more powerful rounds, and is designed to be ambidextrous, along with being AR-15 style for addons. If you can, ditch the stock - it doesn’t telescope, and feels awkward to me.
For what it is worth, I have been practicing my long arm. I figure that the antifa states will need soldiers, so I should volunteer to be on the line. Here’s hoping our efforts allow us to live in a better America. 🖖
One of the reasons why I picked a shotgun and use 000 buckshot is because of the spread. I assume my aim sucks, and hope that hitting the bad guys in a unarmored limb will be enough to remove them from a fight.
A bulletproof vest reduces harm, not negate it. Also, vests come in a variety of grades. As can one expect, the heavier and more expensive ones offer more protection, but those can still fail. Vests, like most insurance, only offers so much coverage from disaster.
Good. ICE and lookalikes are cut from the same putrid cloth, that is best disposed of.
Apparently, NG units tend to be deployed for about 29 days then removed. Day 30 is when they get a pay increase. I can’t imagine that instilling much loyalty towards the regime in these soldiers, when the football keeps being pulled away.
