Non-gun attacks increasing

Post by catfish86 »

As news reports out of London say that a van was used to ram a crowd on London Bridge and a stabbing spree in nearby pubs...we just had the Philippine Casino attack with 37 dead of smoke inhalation (matches)...Arianna Grande Bomb...German Christmas Market (truck), Nice France 87 dead with a truck...

Who needs guns anyway? Something many on these boards have stated for a long time.

Like I tell people, now you know why I carry and why I have 4 spare mags at all times. I am now considering having a long gun in the trunk with many back up mags. 5.56mm of coarse.

.300 Blackout or 6.5mm Grendel would be better.

So would a .50 BMG. Or better yet, just tow around a Howitzer wherever you go.

I, too, am thinking of keeping one of the least-used ARs in the trunk with some spare mags. Still trying to come up with a way to keep it unobvious when the trunk is open.
Good luck and stand fast, true Patriots.

A few months ago put a maverick 88 in the truck unloaded of course with 50 rounds double 00 and 50 rounds of slugs on a bandoleer, just in case. :wink:

I would like to come up with a non-obvious mount of twin 50's on my Jeep without losing passenger or cargo space, but still have them be able to cover a 360 degree sweep.

It would be nice if we would register vehicles, or ban sharp thingys.

Don't matter what the laws are, if you have a citizenry that is decoupled from the objective moral standard, there will be blood in the streets.

The governments drive people into secular humanist channels of thought, then disingenuously decry the inevitable violence.

A knife scares the crap out of me, had two at two different times pulled on me years back, wasn't cut however about passed out when the threat was gone.

IEDs scare me more as there is no real defense except living in a cocoon.

Interesting that the UK essentially has "knife control" laws and it didn't prevent this attack.
