A sheriff in Kentucky - who, surprisingly enough, supports his constituents having their own guns in their homes - was asked at a public meeting of some kind that was uploaded to YouTube whether it's right for individuals to have high powered ordnance, like, hand grenades. His answer was perfect: If it was necessary for home defense to have hand grenades, that's not a problem. And despite what some people think, it might be necessary to have hand grenades for home defense. If you're the only house within 5 miles that has stored food and civilized society including the food transportation system breaks down, you might very well get hordes of starving looters who want to take it from you, and perhaps the only way to keep them from getting close enough to shoot at you is to throw hand grenades (or launch them) to keep them far enough away from your property that they can't get close enough to shoot you, or where you might have to kill dozens at once because there's too many to shoot at the same time.

A cache of weapons and military gear was found after a gunfight and a fire at a mountain cabin ended in the death of an ex-police officer wanted in connection with a revenge-motivated killing spree, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.
Authorities on Friday showed off a table holding several weapons in "the same style" as those found on Christopher Dorner’s body and inside the Big Bear-area cabin where his charred remains were discovered.
These items turned up in the investigation into Dorner’s alleged rampage, said Sgt. Trevis Newport with the sheriff’s homicide division:
Military-style bulletproof helmet
.308 caliber bolt-action sniper rifle
10 suppressors, aka silencers
High-capacity magazines
Canisters of tear gas and smoke
Tactical vest with high-capacity rifle magazines and tear gas canisters
Written on the rifle's handle (pictured below) was the word "vengeance." Authorities said that the rifle on display belonged to Dorner.
If I were that Kentucky sheriff's opponent next election, I know the angle my attack ads would take! |
