Anthony, there is a difference between a "professional" as you called him and someone who knows how to shoot. I do not wish to make assumptions based on what I want to believe. I shoot rifle competitively and know plenty of shooters who can and do shoot accurately at 200 yards. I can. I shoot mid-range which is 600 to 1,000 yards. It doesn't take a professional to do that. The rest is ancillary and not really relevant to the who and why.

I agree that free speech is under attack. And there is a lot of hate fomenting throughout the nation, so much so that we could again be standing at the precipice of civil war. So pray for our leaders, pray about all things, but pray that we might live out our lives in peace. But, if this is not to be so, then pray and prepare for what may come to be. Don't just buy a gun, train with it. Just having a gun is not enough. You need to know how to use it too.

Sorry if I have dumped on you but I have been reading so much "blather" on social media that I feel sick. Everybody is an expert but they don't have the facts. Why can't people keep their mouths shut when they are so ignorant? I have dumped a little on facebook as well. Just couldn't help myself.
