What a week.
Congress continued to debate gun control measures – none of which would have prevented the Orlando terrorist attack to begin with. This entire gun control debate and the influx of citizens speaking in favor of action toward gun restrictions really shows a problem. It’s a problem with a low information populace and one which has lost the historical understanding of the US Constitution and what has made this country great.
It’s a real shame.
There continues to be a growing number of people who believe if Hillary wins in November that will be the tipping point. They believe that the best course of action will be to go “gray”. Basically they will go underground and blend in with everyone else. Maybe they cancel their Facebook account – the very same one which they promoted Patriotism and Conservative beliefs. Maybe they take down the American flag hanging outside their house. Most certainly the “Don’t Tread on Me” sticker will be removed from the car. Blending in and not attracting any attention to themselves would be the norm. Possibly take action in a different manner to support their Constitutional and Liberty-minded beliefs? Maybe.
I’m going off on a tangent here.
Beyond the gun control talk – Brexit happened and both US and foreign stock markets took a dive. Financial markets are waiting in anticipation for Monday to see what will happen. I suspect we are in for a bumpy ride as other countries look to exit the EU.
My preps this week:
- Took advantage of some local area sales and special coupons and stocked up on 5.56, 9mm, 22LR, and magazines.
- Downloaded a variety of preparedness-related magazines off the internet.
- Bought some spare AR buffer spring detent springs and detents. Those things can go flying!!
- Picked up another Pocket Fisherman. These things are awesome and perfect for use in a kayak or small boat.
- Just received back my Century Arms RAS47. It had to be sent back to the factory for repair(front sight cantered). Went and sighted it in. Love this thing.
- Working on a budget for the next year. Critical thing to get financial house in order.
I think that is about it.
So – what have you done this past week?
