American Soldiers Learn To Confiscate Guns

The “Vote Freedom First” President George W. Bush teaches the troops to confiscate privately owned weapons.

Tantalizing Excerpt:

BAGHDAD — In the past, the soldiers with 1st Battalion, 68th Infantry would have had no problem finding an AK-47 assault rifle in Omar Abdul Satar’s home. Iraqis have a long history of owning guns, and few homes in the country are without one.

But the government is trying to change that. It recently decided to prohibit guns in the capital. That was bad news for Satar. When the U.S. soldiers and their Iraqi counterparts found his AK, they confiscated it and took it back to their base in Baghdad’s Adhamiyah district.

Rifle Barrel Explodes

People call me superstitous, but I run a rod and patch through my rifle everytime I load it.  The cleaning rod with patch attached is in the case next to the rifle to remind me.   As much as humanly possible keep an eye on the muzzle. Do not lean the barrel against rough tree bark, lay the rifle on the ground or do any of a thousand things to introduce foreign material into the barrel.
