POODLE SHOOTING 2

*
note: very good videos from what I've seen over at "Penny University".  A more common sense prepper. 
*
note: a LOT of food remains good well past its pull date.  Power Bars are NOT one of them.  I got really ill eating one that was five years old.  I didn't quite puke, but it was a close run thing.  Turned my stomach for the rest of the day.  Pissed me off as I got two cases for free from the food bank way back.
*

We continue, evaluating how effective the AR is.  I’ll just cut to the chase and tell you that it was always a piece of crap but now that it has been adopted through emotionalism it has become logically much more effective.  This is hard for me to admit, because emotionally I have always feared and loathed the weapon.  As you’ll no doubt recall from your own experiences, basic training in the military is nothing more than brain reprogramming.  Through fear and sleep deprivation and stress through exhaustion and mental manipulation, your mind is changed to fit the needs of the military ( which is why you think so highly of the organization, its tools and tactics.  Not because they are effective, but because you were brainwashed.  Simple as that ).

*

This is nothing too insidious.  You knew what you were signing up for.  And it is nothing compared to your parents or teachers programming you.  Cultural programming is even necessary and in our best interests.  We are of the monkey tribe, not apart from it ( even introvert loner individuals must work within the rules of the nation state tribe, primarily through the worship of money ).  My point of the above is that while in training I responded as we all do, being emotionally programmed.  When my issue rifle proved to be very unreliable and prone to jamming, my emotional response was to fear it from then on. 

*

Being an emotional response, you cannot counteract that with logic ( “ammunition today is more reliable” “the weapon has progressed” etc. ).  Under a period of stress and heightened susceptibility to acquiring new programming, my emotional imprinting was to hate the weapon.  It would have killed me after all.  That is the logical response.  It became emotional merely by illogically cementing that initial opinion.  This also explains my emotional attachment to another weapon, the 1911A1.  As this was my back-up weapon and was inherently reliable ( by virtue of having little accuracy ) and in fact WOULD save my life, this became a life raft from the M-16 ( and cemented, again emotionally, what had started out as an emotional attachment via entertainment-who couldn’t love the 45 after Magnum PI and Miami Vice? ).

*

Again, fear, while being an emotion, is still logical.  What we are discussing is not whether fear is a good thing.  It is.  It is how we respond to fear that makes the difference.  Gun control whores are worthless sods and should be stabbed or hung or blown up-anything except shot since that would just make their point for them-as soon as it is no longer illegal.  But they are just as fearful as we are and just responding to that fear.  They think no guns will make us safer and we think more guns will make us safer.  Same fear, different emotion to that fear.

*

Needing guns is logical, as is loving them and stroking them and whispering into their ear sweet nothings.  But then we pick the wrong one.  We aren’t using the fear well.  We misuse it.  Using the emotion from the military to be disciplined and motivated is good, using that emotion to insist you can “PT all day long” even when you are sixty is retarded.  As is bonding with a weapon that was picked for cost, resource constraints, Congressmen re-election and corporate profit ( instead of your mistaken notion of tactical superiority ).

*

The M-16 had a captive market.  Logically, it had no place in a world full of FN-FAL’s or G3’s or even AK’s.  Emotionally, the military officer corps closed ranks as it always does, never admitting a mistake and always doubling down on them.  The M-16 was as flawed for its time as the muzzle loader was after metal cartridges were introduced.  But the military wanted it and got it and kept it.  And why not?  By preserving its decision it froze time, a time just before our empire derailed.  But just because the military was locked into the turd didn’t mean that Colt was happy.  The military was decreasing the amount of trigger pullers.  Their market was decreasing.  Colt, showing how much they didn’t care for the lives of anyone by the “quality” of the rifles they sent over to Vietnam, needed to push their Instrument Of Its Users Destruction into a larger market share.

*

I would imagine Colt was more than happy to provide any Hollywood production that wanted it free or subsidized their little plastic abomination.  Nothing stimulates demand like an emotional response.  Let’s make the AR demand explode by showing how only the cool kids use M-16’s.  SWAT teams, Chuck Norris rescuing POW’s.  Hell, look how Rambo made the M-60 so cool ( and only a Frenchmen on absinth in the asylum could design a worse weapon ).  Feeding on our emotional response to violence, the featured weapons of the day are powerful motivators ( the banning of the Tommy Gun, or even switchblade knives, the adaptation of otherwise crap weapons ).

*

Clinton banning the AR’s just made them all that much sweeter.  Forbidden Fruit, because why stop at your neighbors salary or his wife, coveting wise?  Since his ban, or near ban anyway, the prices shot up ( I wonder if Colt had anything to do with Clintons ban?  After all, they are scumbags.  A minion could offer me a free Colt, even of the most expensive kind, and I would tell them to pound sand.  That is how much I despise the company.  I won’t even buy used Colts ).  Prices shooting up got many more companies involved in manufacturing AR’s.  More companies getting involved lowered the prices.  Lowering the prices fed demand.  Increased demand lowered prices increasing demand.  Once a certain point is reached, you have a standard established.  When the AR became the standard militia gun, you reached a point where NOT having that gun worked against you.  Compared to the AR, who else has the spare parts, cheap parts, cheap guns due to volume?  It is like buying any tactical shotgun except the Remington 870.  You are just handicapping yourself.

Continued and concluded tomorrow.
