They caught two suspects in the Tulsa shootings

31. You have been busy

To hit a couple of points:

Vol. 9, No. 8 of Jeff Cooper’s Commentaries published in August 2001, Cooper wrote, “I am told by ‘new soldiers,’ even Marines, that what once was considered normal disciplinary procedure is today held to be legally reprehensible. During my own tour as company commander I never once sent a man before a court. I didn't need to. I had sergeants. How today's captains proceed without sergeants is beyond me. But how to proceed with perverts and girl warriors is also beyond me.”

If you are prior military, the first part makes perfect sense.
As for perverts, the rank and file has come to terms with serving along side homosexuals more than several years ago. It has taken longer for the older leadership to accept it.
Women in combat is a very complex issue and not for the reasons most think. That would be a whole other thread.

In Vol. 9, No. 5 of Jeff Cooper’s Commentaries published in May 2001, Cooper wrote, “There is no more American way of spending a snowy Wyoming morning than listening to Rush Limbaugh while loading ammunition. Our friend Rush sometimes gets a little overblown in his presentations, but certainly his heart is in the right place.” Limbaugh has been frequently criticized for his statements about minorities, women, and gays. Cooper added, “If the Chinese fighter pilot, Wang Wei, is an example of the breed, we take that as a good development. If Chinese fighter pilots are incapable of keeping distance in the air, it is nice to have them on the other side. Should we add the term ‘Chinese fighter pilot’ to what we used to call ‘a Chinese fire drill’? We should not get our hopes up, however. The rest of that crew may be more skillful.” Wang Wei was a Chinese pilot who died in a mid-air collision with a U.S. Navy aircraft in 2001. The accident caused an international dispute between the United States and China.

I listen to Rush as well sometimes but for totally different reasons. I find him to be a buffoon.

Pilot Wei collided with a US P3 while dangerously harrassing the US aircraft flying in international airspace. His collision and the subsequent impoundment of the aircraft by the Chinese could have been considered an act of war.

In Vol. 4, No. 9 of Jeff Cooper’s Commentaries published in August 1996, Cooper wrote, “It turns out that a number of governments in the world manifest considerable distress at the idea of large amounts of ammunition in private hands. They insist that any man who stockpiles thousands of rounds must have some sinister and ulterior purpose which should be investigated by the state. Here we have yet another example of the thought control characteristic of the Age of the Common Man. Many on the left seem to hold that one may be punished not for what he does, but for what he thinks?as with what have come to be called ‘hate crimes.’ In this age of thought?control, various sorts of busybodies, in and out of government, feel the need to arrange your thinking for you. In this matter of ammunition, I personally like to keep a large supply on hand, not for any specific purpose, but simply because it makes me feel good … As you know, there are people such as Senator Moynihan who feel that the subtle way to disarm the people is to cut off the supply of ammunition. We hope that such people do not prevail, but it does not hurt to be prepared for unpleasant eventualities?thus we have seatbelts, crash helmets, life jackets, and pistols.”

I strangely find myself in full agreement with Mr. Cooper on this. Why should there be an arbitrary limit on anything you wish to collect? Because you could, potentially, misuse the item in question?
I see no call to arms against the government. There is an implication that in the unlikely event of the government turning against the people, citizens should be prepared to resist. Bothe sides agree on the 2A allowing that. T. Jefferson and others advocated as such in their writings.


As for most of the rest... the 1A covers speech which is distasteful or even hateful.
