To bring this full circle, I personally believe that describes a lot of anti-Second Amendment feeling as well. Some people are so terrified at the thought of having to be personally responsible for their own security, they’d do anything to relieve themselves of those feelings of inadequacy. Which of course means, you can’t demonstrate any personal responsibility either or that just reflects poorly on them and continues their feelings of inadequacy.
I agree.

Ok. She fired ~ 98 rounds of 5.56mm per year qualifying every six months to stay current. If she qualified on her M9 then you can add ~100 rounds of 9mm. Maybe 100 rounds of 7.62mm from a M240 if she did familiarization every year.
Just a guess but I'd be willing to bet she often shot double that just to qualify.

Very good odds you are right.

OK, we're back to snark and personal attacks, and this is getting circular in any case; after five-plus pages, I doubt that there's anything new to add, so... closed.
