I’m not a religious person but there is certainly a romantic ideal behind the Lockean ideals behind the symbolism. The idea that there always exists one greater judge for all dilemmas. A great framing for what could otherwise be construed as a might makes right philosophy.
By many metrics of flag design it is lacking but its bluntness defined it. One of the better revolutionary war flags. And it is somewhat unique dodging the trend of stars and stripes.
Pistols don’t beat AR15 rifles. If the opponent outguns you, you need to wait for backup and bigger guns. Basic tactics.
This doctrine has been out of standard practice for over two decades. In response to Columbine the new mass adopted doctrine is go towards the gun fire. This is information any officer who has joined in the past ~25 years would have been taught.
Sorry if this is the wrong community for this. I’m looking for a compilation of Trump’s most rambling moments (e.g., “Look, having nuclear”; Gettysburg being beautiful; etc.). Does anyone know of any sites that would have something like this? Thank you!

Gun shows are a massive loophole in existing background check requirements for purchasing from stores, because sales there are instead classified as private sales.
Not all sales at a gun show are private sales. Specifically those from a FFL (Federal Firearms Licenced Dealer). The federal law when first enacted specifically excluded private transfer for commerce clause reasons.
Even if you’re purchasing from a business at the show.
As mentioned above this is inaccurate. If you buy a firearm from a dealer at a gun show sans background check both you and the dealer have committed a crime.
And private sales aren’t required to run background checks.
This is true of actual private sales on the federal level. But several states have further restrictions requiring them.
I replied to the other guy but checks are required on all sales from a dealer. They are not required, under federal law, in sales from your average joe. But some states have tighter restrictions.
The location being a gun show has no relevance on the legal status under fed law for these transactions.
NICS checks are background checks, when people fill out a Form 4473 in a gun store that is for the NICS check. They are required on all sales from dealers (even at gun shows). They are not required (barring tighter state regulations) from private non-dealers.
In practical (non legal) terms possibly if it was an actual private party and not a licensed dealer.
Alien is definitely a unique way of putting it. I guess it makes sense in that they are “alien to the nation”. But If I were to ever be forced to move to a different country I’d probably go by ex-pat.
Although I’d say we have more of a culture (increasingly so) of acknowledging immigrants as Americans first. Probably due to the whole melting pot thing. My view of it is anyone who immigrate to the US is an American. But if I moved to another country, like Japan, I don’t think they’d consider me Japanese.
Also that reminds me alien ≠ immigrant. Aliens would be people in the country either temporarily or illegally. Someone who got a green card by marrying an American wouldn’t be an alien for example. If you do the whole immigration thing you’re just an American not an alien.

TLDR: Bring backpack to the range finish with a round left put it in the backpack. Forget to take it out. Go on vacation months later “Oh I should bring my backpack for hiking”.
