The fact remains that most dogs will not defend you unless they are trained for that. They're a poor substitute for a gun.

Mad that Democrats capitulated? Don't be. You knew just as Republicans did that they'd do this. Instead, focus on building your own people around you up. Build parallel institutions. Be ready for something better than "resistance".

If he could stop cozying up to anti-LGBT people, that'd be nice. Until then, I'm not supporting him or voting for him.

For it to work that way, you'd need to first reform police and government in many places.

You need to start with police and government reform, then.

I understand that argument, but how do you prevent racist cops and authoritarians like Trump from abusing the power necessary to do all of that? For example, they want to ban transgender people from owning guns, claiming they're mentally ill. They would abuse gun regulation to persecute people.

I think demolishing the original Constitution(civil war) was good because it ended slavery. Reconstruction ended prematurely.

Gun control laws. Corrupt police enforce the law and use it against minorities and other marginalized groups. People who aren't being brutalized by the regime think it'll work out.

The burden of that always falls on marginalized groups. You're speaking from a position of privilege.

It has a long history. The actual feds loved to let the paranoia go in advance of them and dismantle organizations without any direct effort.

The experiences of right wing armed organizations is instructive. By organizing, they made better targets for government suppression. As people on the left embrace the right to keep and bear arms, they shouldn't make the same mistake. Building ad hoc orgs for short term needs is better.

The original laws protected slavery, didn't apply the Bill of Rights to the states, and didn't let women vote. This isn't a hill you want to die on.

The Failure Drill (which is actually different than the Mozambique Drill) saves a lot of lives when practiced enough. Misses in duty situations dropped drastically, as did round counts. Don't train to do mag dumps to slide lock. Train to get it right faster. americancop.com/the-failure-...

The Failure Drill is a core skill. It begins by firing two rounds to the body, as an Accelerated or Controlled Pair, followed by a single head shot.

If you live in New Mexico and want to get your license, you'll need to meet up with me at the range in Las Cruces on Sunday from 10-5 for live fire. If you live elsewhere, I can help you find an instructor for live fire and local laws to complete your training.

This class is designed to fit New Mexico requirements, but it's packed with information that's useful anywhere in the US. We'll cover safety, how firearms work, relevant laws, de-escalation, and how to stay out of trouble.

Instead of giving in to bigotry, he's stepping up and forcing the bigots to out themselves and alienate themselves from the silent majority.

Everytown gun training says to get a dog. But, you're the alpha of the pack. Your dog may bark, but canine instinct is to let the alpha deal with threats. Dogs are only good for defense if specifically trained to do so, and an armed intruder will just shoot the dog.

AI gun detector systems should always go through a human review before sending anything to law enforcement.

Why I’m Offering “Pay What You Can/Want” Courses - Project Trailblazer
I know some people are going to think I’m crazy to let people pick their own price, including letting them pay nothing. This is especially true for concealed carry courses that people typically pay $100-200 for. Fellow instructors who see this may even get angry because they think I’m devaluing what they can get for

I appreciate the sentiment, but doing protests alone isn't going to cut it. Unless participants are guided toward substantive outside the system resistance efforts, Trump and his enablers (including corpo media) will just ignore it.

Try to observe how they communicate. Is it mostly with phones, or do you regularly see them using radios? Are the cars equipped inside like an unmarked police car, or more like a rental car?

If blue states and cities were smart, they'd clean house. Conservatives dominate law enforcement. 40% engage in domestic violence. Most have been divorced multiple times. The status quo isn't even good for the cops.
