HUMOR, FACTS, Women, the MILITARY, and AMMO!!!

On a Serious Note ...

5.56 AMMO Vs 7.62 AMMO

The 5.56mm and 7.62mm rounds are two of the most widely used calibers in military, law enforcement, and civilian firearms. They have distinct characteristics and applications. Here's a comparison:

1. Size and Weight

5.56mm NATO (5.56x45mm):

Smaller and lighter.

Easier to carry more ammunition (e.g., soldiers can carry more 5.56 rounds for the same weight as 7.62 rounds).

7.62mm NATO (7.62x51mm):

Larger and heavier.

Reduced capacity to carry large quantities.

2. Velocity and Range

5.56mm:

Higher velocity (~3,000 feet per second).

Flatter trajectory, making it effective at short-to-medium ranges (~500 meters).

Less effective at penetrating cover or targets at long ranges.

7.62mm:

Slower velocity (~2,700 feet per second).

Retains more energy at longer ranges (~800+ meters).

Better for long-range engagements and penetration.

3. Recoil

5.56mm:

Lower recoil, making it easier to control for rapid or automatic fire.

Ideal for lightweight rifles like the M4 or AR-15.

7.62mm:

Significantly higher recoil, requiring better shooter control.

Often used in designated marksman rifles, battle rifles, or machine guns.

4. Stopping Power

5.56mm:

Designed to wound rather than kill outright, reducing enemy manpower by requiring medical attention.

Smaller caliber, less penetration power against barriers.

7.62mm:

Larger caliber delivers more kinetic energy, better stopping power.

Superior penetration against hard targets or body armor.

5. Applications

5.56mm:

Standard for NATO infantry rifles (e.g., M16, M4).

Effective in urban and close-quarters combat.

7.62mm:

Standard for NATO machine guns (e.g., M240) and sniper rifles (e.g., M24).

Used for long-range and suppressive fire roles.

Prevent Burglars and Burglary at Home

Prevent Burglars and Burglary at Home

Many burglars enter homes by simply breaking glass windows. A good deterrent is to have better quality glass installed at vulnerable points around the perimeter of your residence. Most burglars avoid attempting to break the following types of glass due to the fear of attracting attention:

LAMINATED GLASS is made by a vinyl or plastic interlayer sandwiched between two layers

of glass. This type of glass adds additional strength to your windows. To gain entry, a burglar would have to strike the glass repeatedly in the same spot in order to make a small opening. Most burglars are reluctant to create this type of noise for fear of being detected.

TEMPERED GLASS is made by placing a piece of regular glass in an oven, bringing it almost to the melting point and then chilling it rapidly. This causes a skin to form around the glass. Fully tempered glass is four to five times stronger than regular glass.

WIRED GLASS adds the benefit of a visible deterrent. Extra effort will be needed to break the glass and then cut through the wire located within the glass, in order to gain entry.

PLASTICS: Plastic material is divided into two types: acrylic or polycarbonate. The acrylics are more than ten times stronger than glass of the same thickness and are commonly called plexiglass. Polycarbonate sheets are superior to acrylics and are advertised as 250 times more impact resistant than safety glass, and 20 times more than other transparent plastic. With SLIDING WINDOWS the primary object is to keep the window from sliding or being lifted up and out of the track. There are many manufactured products available for securing windows. Here are some of the suggestions:

PINNED WINDOW ANTI-SLIDE BLOCK SLIDEBOLT: It is not recommended that you lock a window in a ventilating position. This is an invitation to a prying action which can result in entry. Key locking devices offer no real security, and they can be a fire exit hazard.

CASEMENT WINDOWS are the simplest to secure. Make sure the latch works properly and that the "operator" has no excess play. If so, replace the worn hardware.

DOUBLE HUNG WINDOWS latches may be jimmied open. If a window is not used, screw it shut (except bedrooms). For windows in use, drill a sloping hole into the top of the bottom window, through and into the bottom of the top window, and insert an easily removable pin or nail.

LOUVRE WINDOWS are bad security risks. Remove and replace with solid glass or other type of ventilating window. Or protect with a grate or grille (except bedrooms).

WARNING!! One window in every bedroom on the ground and second floor must be left available as a fire exit, particularly for children and guests in your home. At night, the bedroom window may often be the quickest and safest means of getting out. Because of the danger of fire, decorative grilles are not recommended on bedroom windows.

Criminalizing Attempted Crimes

Criminalizing Attempted Crimes

The criminal law is designed with a view to protecting the individual rights of the citizen and the health and well being of society as a cohesive unit. In this regard, it is responsible for setting the parameters of social conduct, and for ensuring consistent application of principle and doctrine across the board. One of the most controversial areas of the criminal law is undoubtedly its role in penalising criminal attempts. When one attempts criminal behaviour but does not complete it, should that person still be liable as a matter of public policy? What if a prospective criminal stops a second from shooting their victim, deciding not to follow through their criminal intent? Furthermore, should a criminal be penalised for trying to commit a crime that is factually impossible? In this article, we will consider each of these arguments and look at possible ways in which they could be more effective treated.

Criminal law usually concerns itself with punishing those who have committed wrongs against the person or against society, and this is generally very effective in ensuring a sense of lawful community and deterring the bulk of criminals in their actions. However, one of the most pertinent questions most legal systems face is when, if at all, to intervene in perfectly legal behaviour in aid to stop a crime from happening? Consider the example of a gunman looking to murder a close friend. He buys a firearm. Is he arrested at this point for attempted murder? He goes to a hill near his friend's house with the gun. Here? He takes aim and begins to squeeze the trigger? How about now? It is very tough to interpret the most advantageous point to intervene in potentially criminal behaviour. On one hand there is the threat of encroaching on civil liberties, whilst on the other there is an obvious threat to life and life, as well as property. Drawing the line has been particularly hard in recent times, and has caused government draftsmen a number of headaches in interpreting what the law should be.

Consider next the scenario of the thief stealing from an empty pocket. Mentally and physically he has committed sufficient acts to be convicted of the crime, but simply because there was no wallet to be stolen, should he walk free? Because there was no wallet, he could never be convicted of theft, but should he be liable in attempt? The answer in most jurisdictions is yes, but again this presents further complications. Say for example, you have a would-be drug dealer who buys a quantity of paracetamol. He sells these in the mistaken belief they are illegal – he could never be convicted of supplying controlled drugs, but could he be convicted on the grounds of his attempts? Most jurisdictions again say yes, with the rationale that dangerous people should be stopped in their tracks. Although a fair point, this kind of argument does not sit well in a modern context, particularly where civil liberties and human rights play such a big role in law internationally.

Additionally, the concept of abandonment is somewhat of a mixed bag, with some countries swinging one way and others another. Should the accused be allowed to drop his gun at the last minute and decide not to kill on this occasion? Alternatively, is the fact that he considered and made steps towards perpetrating a serious crime sufficient to attract liability and attribute blame? Courts across the world are intensely divided over this issue, even internally, given its particular conundrum in context. What is certain is that the criminal law may feel obliged to intervene in certain circumstances to prevent harm to their citizen, which would surely be a significant consideration in mitigation for wrongful arrest.

The concept of the law of attempts is highly interesting, and of particular note is the specific treatment across the world of both abandonment and illegality. Perhaps in an era of greater harmonisation, we will see more international authority on the application of these principles.

FBI quietly revised 2022 crime data to show violent offenses rose rather than dropped

"FBI quietly revised 2022 crime data to show violent offenses rose rather than dropped"

They LIED ... Again ...

Are FBI Crime Stats Correct? Why do they need to be revised?

FBI crime statistics are generally considered reliable but are sometimes revised due to a variety of factors that impact data accuracy and completeness. Here are a few reasons why revisions are needed:

1. Delayed Reporting: Law enforcement agencies across the U.S. report crime data to the FBI, but some departments may experience delays in their submissions or revisions. As more complete data becomes available, the FBI updates its records.

2. Data Accuracy: Crime data is subject to revision when errors in reporting are discovered. This could involve misclassification of crimes, inaccurate counts, or inconsistencies in data collection methodologies.

3. Changes in Classification Standards: The FBI occasionally updates how it categorizes crimes. For example, changes in the definitions of certain offenses (like rape or aggravated assault) or how data is categorized under the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS) versus the older Summary Reporting System (SRS) can lead to adjustments in crime statistics.

4. Quality Control: The FBI conducts quality checks to ensure that data aligns with its reporting standards. If discrepancies are found during this process, statistics might be revised.

5. Increased Participation in Reporting: The FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program depends on voluntary participation from law enforcement agencies. Over time, as more agencies contribute data or improve their reporting systems, statistics can change to reflect broader or more complete crime patterns.

These revisions ensure that crime data remains as accurate and up-to-date as possible, providing a clearer picture of crime trends across the country. However, because crime data is subject to interpretation, methodological updates, and human error, it can still be debated or questioned in terms of its reflection of real-world crime levels.

Can The FBI Crime Stats Be Trusted?

The FBI’s crime statistics, primarily gathered through the Uniform Crime Reporting (UCR) program and the National Incident-Based Reporting System (NIBRS), are generally considered reliable but come with some limitations. Here are key factors to consider when evaluating the trustworthiness of FBI crime data:

Strengths:

1. Standardization: The FBI sets clear definitions for various crimes, allowing for uniform reporting across different jurisdictions. This consistency helps in comparing crime rates across time and regions.

2. Comprehensive Data Collection: Thousands of law enforcement agencies voluntarily report crime data to the FBI, covering a large portion of the U.S. population.

3. Trend Analysis: Longitudinal data from the UCR allows for tracking crime trends over time, which is valuable for policymakers, researchers, and the public.

Limitations:

1. Voluntary Reporting: Participation in the UCR and NIBRS is voluntary, and not all law enforcement agencies consistently report data. Some jurisdictions may underreport or fail to submit data on time, leading to gaps.

2. Data Interpretation: Crimes like rape and domestic violence are often underreported by victims, which can skew statistics. Additionally, differences in local law enforcement priorities and practices may affect what gets reported as a "crime."

3. Transition to NIBRS: The FBI is transitioning from the UCR Summary Reporting System to the more detailed NIBRS system. While NIBRS provides richer data, not all agencies have fully adopted it, leading to inconsistencies during this transition.

4. Crime Definitions: Crime categories can differ from one jurisdiction to another. For example, what qualifies as "aggravated assault" may vary based on local laws, making direct comparisons tricky.

In summary, FBI crime stats are useful for broad trends and analysis, but they should be interpreted carefully, taking into account reporting limitations and potential gaps in the data. It's also helpful to cross-reference these figures with other sources, such as victimization surveys, for a fuller picture.

What Is Terrorism?

Altaf Shaikh

What is Terrorism?

Government Articles | December 26, 2012

Terrorism by definition is the use of violence, or the threat of violence, to create a climate of fear in a given population. Terrorist violence targets ethnic or religious groups, governments, and political parties, corporations, and media enterprises. Groups that practice functions of fear are almost always small in size and restricted in sources as opposed to communities and organizations they oppose. Through promotional and worry produced by their assault, they try to increase their impact and power to impact governmental modify on either a local or a worldwide scale. There are ways of prevention against these heinous attacks; however our civil liberties would have to be inconvenienced. Since the attack at the airport, I think the airports should operate in a stricter manner. When I went on holidays, the airports were mobbed with men carrying firearms, along with a dog, ready to detect any harmful substances. It was also a thorough process to load the luggage on the specific flight, and at any moment, someone might ask you to open your bag for a quick search. I think there also should be a nationwide database, provided in all airports, which allows one to type in another’s name and find their personal information out. If one is truly innocent, then infringing on their privacy should not be a big offense.
Our borders need to be more strictly regulated. We need to control immigration, to help hinder terrorism. We also need to stop being so politically correct, and “get in bed” with nasty characters. The informers that we need to use are from the wastes of society. We need to get these questionable people back on the payroll. Lastly, we need to think as our enemies do. There needs to be severe consequences on the adversary to make aware that we are a strong nation, who will not allow another to interfere in the general well-being of Indians. We need to involve them emotionally as they do to us. Don’t treat them as guests.
The latest terrorist acts, that our nation is experiencing, are frightening. I have learned and studied about the numerous terrorist attacks that our country has faced in the past, but I never imagined that another day would come where terrorism would become reality to me. Prevention can be attained, but it will be a long, challenging process. As Indians, we have to learn that our civil liberties must be stricter in order to secure our safety for the future.
If a terrorist can threaten us by shutting down electronically dependent devices which we need to survive. They will not assassinate or bomb as much because the public will have a better understanding of how to prevent it. Terrorism in the past years has been politically motivated, in the future; it will be religiously motivated. This might cause a major problem in the future because each year more and more people create or advance a religion to suit their liking. They now will have a sense of what is supposed to be right and will do anything to get that across. Terrorism will never end; it is up to the human race to be better educated in the subject and to make the right decision.
