The only question is can I depress the barrel far enough to make an impression on the uber going 40 mph on the van wyck.

Without a armoured hull to run into you probably have more gun depression then anything else.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

Ukraine, Syria, Yemen, and Libya probably have a few lying around if you want to go and rip the turrets off of BMP's in the middle of a warzone.

The roommate has discovered looking at the mail that my first name and the name I go by aren't the same. I'm truly shocked she didn't know this already.

I can understand the surprise for most situations, I'm hardly going to give a stranger a run down of the history of my names, but my roommate :p

I should have convinced her I was a secret agent come to think of it.
