Fortson knew someone claiming to be LE was at the door, which is a tactic used by thugs. Fortson was complying, and never raised the gun. Cops are supposed to be held to a higher standard because of their training, not just see a gun and start firing.
@SnarkQueenBee
Your reaction to people who disagree with your politics is far more telling of who you are than who they are. You are what you claim to detest.
@SethAbramson
@elonmusk
Did you mean to say
"I say this AS a long time comms professor."
It seems like you may not be as good as you think you are, especially considering Elon's success not only financially but in being his own brand. The world knows him and what he does; most have never heard of you.

You mean the guy could not verify it was a cop and not an attempted home invasion?
Weird.
Kind of like criminals keep doing that.
Dumb comment
@BudLightSadness
Jealousy is not a good look on you. Just because we use smokers and wood instead of chicken wire and old tires doesn't mean you have to get nasty.

I could understand if you had said that a 7.62x39 is accurate to 200m, though it's lethal well beyond. But this is 7.62x51 NATO, which is both accurate and lethal far beyond 200m.

The cop also hid where the homeowner could not identify him. The homeowner never presented the weapon and was never ordered to drop it.
@4nt1p4tt3rn
And while the idea of fit for combat is both motivation for some and easily dismissed by others, how about the idea of getting your loved ones to safety? Can't carry your kids out of the house and away from the fire? Fix that. Now.

The army serves the Constitution and the People, following the orders of the president. If the president issues orders that are in conflict with the Constitution and are a danger to the People, those orders and unlawful and a soldier is REQUIRED to disobey them.
I've brushed off some things that I thought were off with a couple of accounts. Turns out I should listen to my spidey-srnse more. That said, some of you are giving off bad vibes. If I unfollow, you know why.
Except

. If I unfollow, it's because X did it. Again.

1. Thinking before speaking tends to be good advice.
2. We've been pushover for decades. You're a warrior-leader, which we desperately need in these times. No apologies.
Thanks for being you!
So let me get this straight:
In this SHTF/WROL/Boog scenario, every meal is cooked over a fire, the sun determines our work and wake hours, we hunt, fish, and garden daily; we just have to give up LE, govt handouts, and "public" utilities?
WTF are we waiting for!?!?!?
@MoronPundit
@Kronykal
During 2020, I told someone that I was worried about Biden undoing Trump's economic policies. He said there's no way he would be stupid enough to do that because Trump's biggest success was the economy.
I think that sums up the X mentality. We underestimate stupidity.
@BangSwitch5000
I have a 16" AR 308. No problem reaching 600, 2 MOA or less. It's not expensive or what anyone would consider a precision rifle. I am not a phenomenal shooter, but I don't suck, either. 🤷♂️
It must be time to purge porn bots, because there's no way that there are 700 degenerates that are bored enough to follow me! 😂
You guys are awesome. I didn't even know I had that many!
@Psy_ware
I have a friend that aborted a child via induction because of what the doctors told him. He watched his first child gasp for air for 5 minutes.
Don't tell me that's not murder. This guy is a professional killer, and he'll tell you it's fucking murder.
@smcroasters
Private property. With kids.
If the city is smart, they'll not only fire his ass with a huge apology statement, charges of ND, and retraining of all existing officers, but buy that family a puppy that is given to them by a K9 officer.

Are you okay? You can call rights natural or inherent rights if the word "God" offends you. Ben Franklin was okay with the term, but he wasn't so sensitive. He was also okay with civilians owning mortars, cannons, warships, automatic rifles, etc.

@davin_mc
Why do you have a problem with this? Malcolm X in the bio, and you're going to trash talk a dude because he spends time training and leading other men to do what they have to? And a vet!? Did you not really mean that oath or what?
@DolioJ
"Solid gun, especially for the price."
-people who've owned one
"Total crap. Not worth it."
-people who haven't
The gun you own, practice with, shoot well, and carry is better than the one sitting in the store.

I suppose you don't realize that there is a far lower rate of murders and killings now, in the era of the gun, that when man was armed with swords, spears, and bows. Those things were also invented to kill. Of course, people are still stoned to death in some countries.

@GunfighterSpoc1
People keep putting New Mexico with Texas. We don't want NM. We'll take Oklahoma, Louisiana, and/or Arkansas, but not New Mexico. Okay, maybe the PB, but that's it! In fact, New Mexico can take El Paso off our hands!
@billstelling
@rangermonk1
Are you an LEO, Bill? If so, you've just incriminate yourself. If nit, you may have done so anyway. A gun in hand is not a direct threat, particularly at one's own domicile. Otherwise you are surrounded by threats at the range.
Apparently this needs to be said:
Do not light yourself on fire. It is a bad thing. At best, you will become the punchline for dark humor jokes, and that is the extent of your legacy. Just don't.
@iamhaleyshane
It amazes me how much I have to tell family members - conservatives/libertarians - about it. They think they have to register everything and run through some fantastical hoops. They live in CC states, too.
@Morrigan_Astro
I hate that you struggled so badly with your self-confidence growing up, but joining a hate group because they were the first to accept your awkwardness isn't a flex. Kids bullied you because of your looks; you'll just continue to be bullied for your stupidity.
@Type07Safety
Actually, that's the problem. Too many women don't have proper access, so they have to resort to this. Proper access is an automatic right.
You feel accomplished because
@HardPass4
follows you. I feel accomplished when ignorant racist pricks add me to their stupid lists. We are not the same.
@X9_redux
"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance."
One of the characteristics of evil is that it is never satisfied. It will force its way into everything. Comfort has made us lazy.
Apparently I'm in a really smartass mood today. Not mean-spirited, just my attempts at humor. If they land wrong I apologize. Also, don't be such a snowflake.
@4nt1p4tt3rn
Even Ben Franklin, an agnostic, said similar. The Founders all knew it. That's why to kill America, they first had to kill faith. Not through direct assault, but by softening faith and blurring lines. It's also why the Founders believed in the strength of family and community.
@ThereWBBourbon
Let's be clear. When a politician lies, EVERYONE not only gets to bag on him, but it's their duty as a citizen to do so.
If you think you get to govern what I say and do, you can GFY.
Them's the REAL rules.

So why weren't you helping render aid? Why was that "ineffectual child" doing far more good than you that night? If he's an "ineffectual child," what does that make the three he owned that night, including the one with the gun? Oh wait, that was you!

If you can't differentiate between a non-threatening safe position and an immediate threat, you're not cut out for this line of work. Your appeal to emotion is denied.
It's a good thing that males can't procreate together, because

I generally try to avoid race as anything but a melanin count, but let's be honest: if any races have reason to NOT trust government, it is absolutely native and black Americans.
@CherylWroteIt
@The_Real_Joakim
You're conflating different things. There's plenty of evidence that it was not fired upon by a tank, particularly a 7.62 NATO MG. That doesn't mean that 7.62 NATO is not effective at 500m and beyond.
@Ur_a_Smartass_C
One of the reasons I follow you and engage so much is because you actually engage with your followers. You've never hidden your thoughts, nor have I ever seen you be condescending - except to racists and authoritarians. Even then, you never lose it. You're good. 👊
It should have been a pure, beautiful thread, but TDS POS
@seth169

@StarlightInds
@4nt1p4tt3rn
There is a demand, or you wouldn't have written your reply. And people are obtaining it, but wither via queationable means or as the OP described. The problem is having to dodge government regulations to do so.
@dogwood
@OfficerbenTOPO
The concerning part is how many officers have stated that it was justified. They burn the public trust over an obvious poor choice.
@xxTHERAVENxx88
If they're bashing PSA and Aero, they are just gun snobs who don't want to admit they paid too much for what they got. Those companies produce reliable, accurate (enough), and durable rifles. For 4x the price, you don't get 4x the gun.
