Everyone gather around I have something to get off my chest. #TheResistance got played like a fiddle with the #AlFranken accusations. Russia or the alt right took advantage of a hot button item and got us all heated.
Thread
Now, I'm guilty of getting worked up. Some of us took to our timelines, some of us vented to friends, some of us choose to stay quite.

I once served in the Army and the events that unfolded on the 6th hit a little different for me. I took an oath to protect this nation and the constitution, seeing it be spit on by a bunch of red hat wearing nutjobs hurt me deeply.
I took my oath seriously, still do in fact. Which is why I'm so disgusted by people like @tedcruz and @HawleyMO. They used their platform to stoke the fire of insurrection and somehow they are still seated in congress.
I doubt I'll ever stop being angry about it. The disrespect shown towards the things I was sworn to protect, the confederate flag being waved in the halls of congress, the boldness of these traitors. I'll never forget it.
With all the talk of AR-15s just being another gun I feel like I should address that. First off, the AR-15 is basically a copy of the M4/M16 in looks and functionality.

Now, I was trained how to use both the M4 and M16. It's amazing, it's light, accurate, durable, has little to no recoil, and it's easy to clean.
Part of training was shooting these weapons, we shot at targets shaped like people. Not deer, or wildlife people. We shot for center mass because that's your best chance to hit your target.
