Then, on gunbroker there is some poor bastard pawnshop owner who has been trying to sell 15 round extendo mags for them for literal years. He's got like 115 of them left, get one for each gun you have. Only the Lercker machine pistol, very rare. Maybe you could buy a cheap transferable Sell however much you don't want to shoot And buy yourself a baby browning or a Beretta Jetfire Now you need to find a leathersmith. Commission him to make you a chest mounted holster rig and a few "new york carry" holsters, so you can carry all of the tiny Berettas at the same time. Find a top hat, some nice slacks, a vest, and an overcoat so you can conceal all the holstered Berettas. Grow a handlebar mustache. Start showing up to shooting competitions. Run all your courses with a series of tiny pistols, and only the tiny pistols. When one runs dry, don't reload, just drop it on the ground and produce another from inside your coat. Don't explain yourself to anyone, just say "love me some 25ACP." *Heavy Kommando Breathing* Just show up, run the course, and leave immediately.

"I was not too preoccupied at the time, and found something to do."
![>On April 11, Hauptsturmfuhrer Fritz Klingenberg's instructions were to reconnoiter and establish checkpoints, secure any bridges and roads encountered, then hold for reinforcements. Heavy rains and melting snow had washed away nearly all soft surfaces, and bridges had been destroyed by retreating Yugoslav forces. The main avenues of approach to Belgrade were no longer viable routes, and the tanks would be hard pressed to continue without massive engineering support to clear those areas. After several hours of observing the stricken city from across the Danube River, Klingenberg believed that Belgrade was his for the taking, due to the confusion caused by the bombardments provided his unit arrived in time. He had only 24 hours to submit a report to his command, and a decision had to be made quickly. >Klingenberg saw a chance to probe more deeply into the city's environs when one of his men found an abandoned motorboat tied to a tree along the banks of the swollen Danube. Taking only one sergeant and five privates, he negotiated the treacherous river. The trip was extremely dangerous, the currents raging from the runoff of melting snow in the mountains and from torrential rains. The boat was overloaded, as well. Reaching the far side of the Danube, Klingenberg sent two men back to ferry more troops over before sunset. On the return trip, however the boat struck a submerged obstacle and sank. Klingenberg's 'navy' ceased to exist, leaving the captain and six of his men stranded. They were totally isolated, with limited supplies and ammunition. >The squad advanced along the road and encountered a few British-made vehicles manned by Yugoslav soldiers. They captured two trucks and a bus, along with some 20 enemy soldiers. One of the men on the bus was an inebriated German tourist who had been trapped in Belgrade since the invasion started. The tourist, who spoke Croatian, had been apprehended as a spy by the Yugoslav soldiers and was being taken to be executed. He was still drunk and unaware of his impending fate. When he sobered up, he thought that he was still among his group of partygoers until he was informed of the situation. Klingenberg used him as an interpreter, in which capacity the grateful German was most helpful. >The SS men continued on, using their prisoners and a few captured uniforms to get past several enemy checkpoints. They made good progress the first day without any of the enemy checkpoint guards becoming suspicious. The Germans added the Yugoslav guards to the increasing number of prisoners they were collecting along the way. The population of Belgrade, after several days of bombing, was anticipating a long siege rather than an attack, and the lax security that Klingenberg encountered played directly into his hands. >Upon entering the outskirts of the city, the Germans became involved in a two-hour running firefight. They finally drove their captured vehicles into the city with many wounded prisoners aboard, including the hapless tourist. Miraculously, none of the SS men were wounded in the fight. They ended up in the city center, all alone and surrounded by a wide-eyed, bewildered population. The only SS casualty in Belgrade thus far was a private who had fallen and sprained his wrist. >The Germans were amazed to find that no one attacked them in the city. The civilians went about their daily business as if nothing had happened. Klingenberg ordered Sergeant Hans Hossfelder to raise the German colors, replacing the Yugoslavian national flag with the German ensign shortly after 5 p.m. on April 12. Under Klingenberg's orders, his men began to strut about the city on patrol, giving the inhabitants the unmistakable impression that they were in charge. >The mayor of Belgrade came up to the Germans, complete with his entourage of city officials and in proper ceremonial dress. After asking what was going on, he inquired about the terms of surrender. Klingenberg told the mayor that his was the point team of several SS tank divisions, and if he did not check in with his unit by radio with the information requested, the Luftwaffe would continue their attempts to level the city. He also said that the air attacks would be followed by an artillery barrage and armored and infantry attacks that would spare no one. >The other Germans looked at their leader as if he was mad. Their radio was damaged and could not transmit, only receive; their unit was a considerable distance away; and they were out of ammunition and food. Sergeant Hossfelder later told his captain that he was in the wrong business, adding that the Propaganda Ministry could surely find a use for him. The mayor fell for the ruse, and after an hour-long conversation with Klingenberg, he began the necessary arrangements for the surrender of the city. Then, as if on cue, a group of German aircraft flew over the city on a reconnaissance mission, and Klingenberg took advantage of the moment. He looked up, pointing to the sky, and reminded the mayor that the clock was ticking. Klingenberg gave his word that if all instructions were followed, no further harm would befall the city or its inhabitants. The city officials seemed relieved to hear that. The soldiers and city militia agreed to lay down their arms in exchange for the Germans' ceasing additional attacks. The Yugoslav army stacked its arms in the city square, and Klingenberg had all of the men register with the mayor. Klingenberg then ordered the prisoners to quarter themselves in four of the largest hotels and posted a German guard to each building. The handful of Germans had just captured more than 1,300 troops and a city with a population of over 200,000 without firing. shot. The city had suffered considerable damage, but not enough to prevent the locals from continuing with life and business as usual. Yugaslav soldiers outside the city, unaware of what had happened to their capital, drove into Belgrade only to be ordered by their superiors to lay down their arms, abandon their vehicles and march to the hotels. All the Yugoslavians complied without hesitation. Klingenberg and his men made themselves comfortable in the city's finest hotel, making fake radio transmissions to reinforce the charade. They stockpiled bottles of wine and weapons, and two of the men disappeared with a couple of local women. Meanwhile, Klingenberg consolidated his position, knowing that things could still go wrong. If the main force did not arrive soon, the game was up. He had his men recruit locals to help procure every map, police record and tax record in the city. AL >The chief of police was ordered to provide a list of all criminals in the city, stating their crimes, age and other pertinent information. Women with nursing skills were to report for duty immediately, and all doctors were called in as well. Every liter of gasoline was accounted for, and oil, medical supplies and other necessities were placed in special holding facilities. The hospital was to be neutral ground, and all health care was to be maintained as a gesture of good will. Klingenberg even ordered the schools to remain open and placed no restrictions on daily business. He did, however, place an 8 p.m. curfew on the city; only citizens with a pass signed by him could legally venture outside their homes after that time. >The next day, April 13, more of Klingenberg's men who had remained on the opposite side of the river followed their leader into the city. Seeing the German flag, they believed that the main force had somehow bypassed them. They were amazed to find the 'lost' men in command of the primary objective, with the locals not hostile but actually accommodating. Hossfelder told the new arrivals what had transpired and warned them to play along. They flexed their military muscle by commandeering every vehicle they could find. >Finally, on the night of April 13, the forward elements of Das Reich entered the city expecting a heavy fight. They had disregarded radio transmissions they had received telling of the city's surrender, believing it was an enemy hoax, possibly an attempt to lure German units into an ambush. Rumor had it that Klingenberg and his men had been captured, tortured and forced to release the codes required for proper radio communications. The XLV Corps commander was so furious at not having received his intelligence summary that he had threatened to have Klingenberg court-martialed if he were found alive as a prisoner. The first place he inquired for Klingenberg was at a brothel, figuring that he would find the renegade captain there. The corps A commander's fury soon subsided when he learned why his junior company commander had been negligent in his duties. >The rest of Das Reich and supplemental army Panzergrenadierunits entered Belgrade in force the following day, and instead of fighting their way into the city, they were greeted with wine and cheese. The Yugoslav prisoners were conscripted to reinforce the German defense in case of partisan attacks. >Sadly, when the mayor realized that he had been duped, he shot himself. On April 17, Josip Broz, better known as Tito, the trade unionist and leader of the 'illegal' Communist Party, acknowledged defeat in Yugoslavia and surrendered the country in name only. He fled into the mountains with his partisans, where, supported by the British, he waged a four-year guerrilla campaign against his country's invaders. He would later become president of a Communist Yugoslavia, which nevertheless rejected association with the Soviet-dominated Warsaw Pact.Klingenberg persuaded the garrison commander to relinquish his maps and divulge the location of his minefields and gun emplacements, as well as the nearby anti-aircraft emplacements and adjacent auxiliary airstrip. Markers were placed that could be clearly seen from the air, and German transports were able to land, bringing food, ammunition and war correspondents. Klingenberg even had some of the prisoners repair the damaged runways and confiscated several obsolete aircraft. German Intelligence had projected before Belgrade surrendered that Yugoslav army casualties would number approximately 10,000 to 15,000 wounded and 2,000 dead after massive Luftwaffe and artillery bombardment and a subsequent fight to enter the city. Civilian casualties were predicted to be 10 times those figures. Klingenberg was concerned for the welfare of his men, yet he was also worried about the fate of the civilians. He did not see the need for further bloodshed in the city, and his men were actually treated well by the civilians, who knew that they could have suffered a much worse fate.At first, the German high command did not believe that the city had been taken. There was even word that Klingenberg would be shot for trying to fake such an exploit. Two days of radio transmissions were needed to convince Berlin that all was well. Lieutenant General Paul Hausser was ordered to inspect for himself. >>1472453 >When Klingenberg reported to his superiors to explain why he had not followed orders, he was drunk, unshaven and smelled of perfume. After several minutes of heavy grilling, the frustrated Klingenberg said, 'What was I to do, give the city back?' >His indiscretions were overlooked, and the German battle plan, now obsolete, was stamped 'completed.' >The drive into Greece was now ahead of schedule. The cost of the entire Yugoslavian campaign to Germany was 558 wounded and 151 killed, with less than a dozen aircraft lost. More than 340,000 Yugoslavs were captured. The exact number killed will never be known. >For his daring exploit, Klingenberg was awarded the Knight's Cross, and he became a favorite of the SS inner circle. The 'Old Man,' as he came to be known, was periodically sent to Bad Tölz as an instructor on tactics and battlefield initiative. On March 15, 1944, he became the only Bad Tölz graduate to assume command of the school Klingenberg was not a hearty drinker or talker and never boasted of his accomplishments. >When later asked by students at Bad Tölz how he had captured the capital of a country, he simply said, 'I was not too preoccupied at the time, and found something to do."](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/masonry/002/369/676/7de.png)

remnants begin to start raiding across the border back into Rwanda >Kagame's government is now in a reverse situation, now they are the government in charge fighting bush guerrillas (which is what the RPF was doing before the genocide) >The now Tutsi dominated Rwandan govemment realizes that being limited to their side of the border that these raids would probably go on indefinitely since the Hutus could just flee back into Zaire >So Paul Kagame and his top advisors decide that in order to end this situation once and for all, there was one solution >They were going to not only go over the border and reverse-genocide the Hutus who fled, but also straight up invade Zaire with the intention of removing Mobutu from power >So how the f--- does tiny Rwanda do this? >By getting a m------------ coalition going >The Rwandan military had (and still has) some of the best infantry in all of Africa, but are lacking in most other aspects >In order to fill this gap Kagame begins contacting regional neighbors and entices them to join him to fight against Mobutu >Given that basically nobody in the surrounding countries liked Mobutu (Mobutu often funded rebel groups in neighboring countries), they are eager to jump in >Uganda is sympathetic to the RPF (they harbored the RPF when the Tutsis began their fight against the Hutus), so they are the first on board and provide mechanized and armored

Mugabe joins in and while Zimbabwean forces do not participate directly (that would change in the second war), they provide logistical support >Angola has always had a long running feud with Mobutu due to his harboring of UNITA, so they're immediately on board >Angola deploys some regular forces in 1997, but also sends in old Katangese gendarmes who served all the way back in the original Congo Crisis and had been in exile for years >Ethiopia and Eritrea also provide some limited technical, moral, and financial support >However, the bulk of the anti-Mobutu alliance's manpower was made from an rebel coalition known as the Alliance of Democratic Forces for the Liberation of Congo (AFDLC) group was made up mainly of disgruntled ethnic minorities from Zaire's border regions as well as political dissidents or really anyone in the country who did not like Mobutu >The Anti-Mobutu alliance directly funded and trained this rebel Coalition, providing them with the means to fight the Zairian military, in essence forming a massive proxy army manly directed from Kigali in >This Rwanda >The Rwandans realize that such a large movement needs a good leader, someone that would be pliable to Rwandan interests and that wouldn't cause trouble for them >Enter Laurent Kabila >He's a washed up old Marxist revolutionary who's been fighting against Mobutu for decades, with rather little to

military-related >Anyhow, after formulating a large rebel movement and after everything's lined up, the First Congo War kicks off in late 1996 piggybacking off the ongoing Banyamulenge rebellion (ethnic Tutsis living in Zaire) >The anti-Mobutu alliance makes massive inroads very quickly into Zaire (no small feat considering that Zaire/Congo is f------ HUGE) >The Zairian military is in a state of decay, with most troops having not been paid and having little food or ammunition despite having much better equipment than the rebels >The rebels are bolstered by the armed forces of the coalition seeking to topple Mobutu, with the Rwandans being the largest contributor >Mobutu is largely disconnected from reality, he fully believes that its a minor revolt that will soon be crushed >Meanwhile with each passing day the rebels move ever closer to Kinshasa far in the west >Eventually the Zairian leadership realizes how bad the situation is and tries calling in mercenaries >There are several ex French Foreign Legionnaires who answer the call, as well as the Yugoslav White Legion >The former FFL guys act like professional mercs, but quickly realize that the military situation is utterly

U.S. population 324,059,091 as of Wednesday, June 22 , 2016. Do the math: 0.000000925% of the population dies from gun related actions each year. Statistically speaking, this is insignificant! What is never told, however, is a breakdown of those 30,000 deaths, to put them in perspective as compared to other causes of death: • 65% of those deaths are by suicide which would never be prevented by gun laws • 15% are by law enforcement in the line of duty and justified • 17% are through criminal activity, gang and drug related or mentally ill persons – gun violence • 3% are accidental discharge deaths So technically, "gun violence" is not 30,000 annually, but drops to 5,100. Still too many? Well, first, how are those deaths spanned across the nation? • 480 homicides (9.4%) were in Chicago • 344 homicides (6.7%) were in Baltimore • 333 homicides (6.5%) were in Detroit • 119 homicides (2.3%) were in Washington D.C. (a 54% increase over prior years) So basically, 25% of all gun crime happens in just 4 cities. All 4 of those cities have strict gun laws, so it is not the lack of law that is the root cause. This basically leaves 3,825 for the entire rest of the nation, or about 75 deaths per state. That is an average because some States have much higher rates than others. For example, California had 1,169 and Alabama had 1. Now, who has the strictest gun laws by far? California, of course, but understand, so it is not guns causing this. It is a crime rate spawned by the number of criminal persons residing in those cities and states. So if all cities and states are not created equally, then there must be something other than the tool causing the gun deaths. (1/?)

Yes. How about in comparison to other deaths? Not really. All death of course, sad and especially so when it is in the commission of a crime but that is the nature of crime. Robbery, death, r---, assault all is done by criminals and thinking that criminals will obey laws is ludicrous. That's why they are criminals. But what about other deaths each year? • 40,000+ die from a drug overdose-THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT! • 36,000 people die per year from the flu, far exceeding the criminal gun deaths • 34,000 people die per year in traffic fatalities(exceeding gun deaths even if you include suicide) Now it gets good: • 200,000+ people die each year (and growing) from preventable medical errors. You are safer in Chicago than when you are in a hospital! •710,000 people die per year from heart disease. It's time to stop the double cheeseburgers! So what is the point? If Obama and the anti-gun movement focused their attention on heart disease, even a 10% decrease in cardiac deaths would save twice the number of lives annually of all gun-related deaths (including suicide, law enforcement, etc.). A 10% reduction in medical errors would be 66% of the total gun deaths or 4 times the number of criminal homicides. Simple, easily preventable 10% reductions! So you have to ask yourself, in the grand scheme of things, why the focus on guns? It's pretty simple.: Taking away guns gives control to governments. The founders of this nation knew that regardless of the form of government, those in power may become corrupt and seek to rule as the British did by trying to disarm the populace of the colonies. It is not difficult to understand that a disarmed populace is a controlled populace. Thus, the second amendment was proudly and boldly included in the U.S. Constitution. It must be preserved at all costs. (2/?) O Anonymous (ID: KLC4EHIV) E 10/07/17(Sat)09:43:58 No.144396073 >>144397243 >>144399369 >>144400633 >>144414315 So the next time someone tries to tell you that gun control is about saving lives, look at these facts and remember these words from Noah Webster: "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole body of the people are armed and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force at the command of Congress can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power." Remember, when it comes to "gun control," the important word is "control," not "gun." >tl;dr this is your argument redpill for why liberals wanting gun bans is retarded. Read it.

Yes. How about in comparison to other deaths? Not really. All death of course, sad and especially so when it is in the commission of a crime but that is the nature of crime. Robbery, death, r---, assault all is done by criminals and thinking that criminals will obey laws is ludicrous. That's why they are criminals. But what about other deaths each year? • 40,000+ die from a drug overdose-THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT! • 36,000 people die per year from the flu, far exceeding the criminal gun deaths • 34,000 people die per year in traffic fatalities(exceeding gun deaths even if you include suicide) Now it gets good: • 200,000+ people die each year (and growing) from preventable medical errors. You are safer in Chicago than when you are in a hospital! •710,000 people die per year from heart disease. It's time to stop the double cheeseburgers! So what is the point? If Obama and the anti-gun movement focused their attention on heart disease, even a 10% decrease in cardiac deaths would save twice the number of lives annually of all gun-related deaths (including suicide, law enforcement, etc.). A 10% reduction in medical errors would be 66% of the total gun deaths or 4 times the number of criminal homicides. Simple, easily preventable 10% reductions! So you have to ask yourself, in the grand scheme of things, why the focus on guns? It's pretty simple.: Taking away guns gives control to governments. The founders of this nation knew that regardless of the form of government, those in power may become corrupt and seek to rule as the British did by trying to disarm the populace of the colonies. It is not difficult to understand that a disarmed populace is a controlled populace. Thus, the second amendment was proudly and boldly included in the U.S. Constitution. It must be preserved at all costs. (2/?)

The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole body of the people are armed and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force at the command of Congress can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power." Remember, when it comes to "gun control," the important word is "control," not "gun." >tl;dr this is your argument redpill for why liberals wanting gun bans is retarded. Read it.
