Firearms training for our youth was once considered SOP in the United States. Our very constitution promotes the idea of a civilian militia. In fact, we created entire organizations to ensure that the United States would always be a nation of rifleman.
The driving force behind the creation of the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) in 1903 was to train young people in the use of arms. The NRA was created to promote rifle marksmanship among Americans following the Civil War. When I was in high school in the 1970s the ROTC students regularly trained with rifles and many took their rifles home with them.
Americans were once strong. We have become weak. Poland is setting an example for us - reminding us of what use to be standard normal practice in our country. We should take note and become strong again.

In the first half, attorney Sean Maloney from Second Call Defense joins me to explain the lessons gun owners can learn from what happened to Kyle Rittenhouse.
In the second half, I discuss a home invasion case from Oceanside California in which the homeowner successfully defended himself.
Apparently, the shooter randomly shot nine people before a police officer gave him a much-needed lead injection. According to the news story, the suspect, who survived being shot by police (at least so far) has “a prior conviction for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.”
Three questions:
1. This joker has a violent criminal history. Why was he in possession of a firearm?
2. Why isn't Tucson Mayor Regina Romero (D) concerned about the answer to Question 1?
3. When will anti-gun politicians stop using tragedies like this to push for more gun control, which she did?
Actually, that last question answers itself.
At Lucille’s Bar & Grill, an armed citizen stopped a man who was allegedly threatening people with a knife. The attacker was shot and killed; no other injuries reported.
What I find most interest is the presence of an off-duty police officer who apparently did nothing. Thank God for the armed citizen.
"Skippy, you're not afraid of the outsider. You're afraid to hope. Giving in to fear is easy. You just accept there's nothing you can do, doom is inevitable, and there's no point in making any effort. If you dare to hope, then you risk your hopes getting crushed."
— Craig Alanson’s fictional character, Major General Joe Bishop (Expeditionary Force)
