Words of Tribute to a faithful Brother in Christ. (We lost a giant!)

Instead of getting buried in a sea of angry posts, maybe we can have a dedicated thread, and take the “High Road” by offering edifying thoughts about the beautiful life and death of a wonderful Brother in Christ — Charlie Kirk.
=====

I didn’t know Charlie Kirk particularly well. I heard him a few times, and I appreciated that he was always preaching Christ in everything he did, and his demeanor and spirit seemed to comport with those professions. What I will say is that most people who call themselves “Christians” really have no idea that Charlie got exactly what he agreed to get when he became a follower and a disciple of Christ and that, from one important perspective, his tragic murder is actually an incredibly beautiful thing!

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints!Psalm 116:15

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13

Everyone loves John 3:16, and rightfully so! However, most fail to continue reading the verses that come immediately after verse 16.

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.” John 3:19-21

Get this one FACT crystal clear in your mind mind: Darkness HATES the Light! Darkness cannot bear to be exposed by the light of truth. DARKNESS will much rather kill the messenger than be forced to deal with the message. You need to look no further than Jesus himself, and how Jesus clearly states that all true disciples WILL suffer persecution, NO EXCEPTIONS!

Marvel not that the world hates you, because it hated me first.” John 15:18

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.” Matthew 5:11-12

Charlie had NO FEAR of putting himself, one of the brightest Christian lights in this very dark world, out in front of the darkness for everyone to see. He exposed the Darkness, and the Darkness HATED him for it, just like they did against his Lord and Savior. He didn’t just pay lip service to Christian values or principles. He lived the life of sacrifice that Jesus commands every disciple to live. He led by example, and not by edict. He loved people, even the ones who hated him the most, and whom he may have had the greatest disagreements with, but always tried to portray the image and likeness of Christ in all of his dealings.

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” Romans 12:1-2

Every disciple, great or small, is promised the same reward for following Christ even unto death. That we fill up the afflictions left behind by Christ, that we suffer with him in this life so we can reign with him in heaven for all eternity.

I find abundant evidence in everything I have seen about Charlie Kirk to support the verdict that he was a child of God, a beloved disciple in Christ, and will receive a share of that reward in glory as a result of his faithfulness unto death. Revelation 2:10

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.” Matthew 25:23

Until we meet again at Jesus feet, beloved brother.

SOLD B&T APC9 6.9" 9mm

Hello Hide,

Up for sale is an excellent condition B&T APC9 in 9mm manufactured in 2018. I am the original owner - purchased new from Brownells. This is a great shooter, however I am letting it go to fund other projects.

This is the generation 1 model that was adopted by several agencies in Europe and has the integral backup sights in the rail. This "pistol" will come with the original kit including user manual, four 30 round magazines (if you are in a legal state), cleaning kit and carrying case. This version also features a reciprocating charging handle that is easily swappable to either side, all other controls are ambidextrous. The B&T jet funnel/magwell is installed, but is easily removable. The stock trigger is excellent for this firearm with a quick reset. The gun currently has the factory ar15 buffer tube adaptor installed, but if you remove it the hinge accepts any HK UMP style stock or brace.

The exterior cosmetic condition is excellent with no scrapes or blemishes I have noticed. Interior wear seems to be restricted to light wear on the bolt. The gun cycles perfectly glassy smooth; accuracy has been solid and the hydraulic buffer is in perfect shape. Reliability has been outstanding.

I am asking $1700.00 shipped to your FFL, payable via Zelle or Venmo.

Feel free to PM me with any questions!

Vivacious

What is Fascism and what does it really mean?

Fascism is used every day by everyone, mostly by politicians, and especially lately. What does Fascism really mean, and why is this term being used all the time?
Well, story short, its Italian, first used to describe Mussolini's mission in the early 1900's. And I quote:

"fascism /făsh′ĭz″əm/

noun​

  1. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
  2. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
  3. Oppressive, dictatorial control."

So, no one in our country is guilty of that. Not yet anyway.

The term has become so diluted that now everyone can be called a Fascist. So, the term now is meaningless. These days every politician using the word and 99% of the population probably has no idea of what it really means and where it came from.

Firearms GAP-15 6 ARC

This thing is a beauty. I’ve never shot an AR this accurate. I don’t know what fairy dust GAP puts on this, but it works. I’ve only shot factory Hornady 108s out of this and it shoots sub 0.5 MOA (close to 1/3 MOA) all day long. I’ve attached a group to show that. This will come with 3 Duramags (10 round, 15 round, and 20 round). They all feed flawlessly. This is a factory GAP-15. I bought this for my wife to get into shooting with me and she prefers pistol so I need to put this money elsewhere. The only scuffs are right by the mag well from shooting off of barricades. The barrel has 491 rounds through it. Please let me know if you have questions.

Selling this for $2600 shipped (individual to FFL). The Area 419 Arca rail and Fat Bastard 6mm brake aren’t included but also can be if interested. I’ve got RCBS Matchmaster 6ARC dies and N540 that can be added if interested.

This is the link for the build (MSRP of $3388): https://www.gaprecision.net/gap-15.html

Sidearms & Scatterguns For the upland bird hunters: 28" or 30" barrels?

I've just about made up my mind on a new shotgun, a Beretta 687 SP III, Joel Etchen Signature series. 20/28 gauge combo set. Initially I was pretty set on 28" barrels, then it was suggested I should strongly consider 30". The 30s have a mid-bead and wider rib than the 28s.

My use case is mainly hobbyist trap shooting and this year I am planning on getting into upland bird hunting, such as Snipe, Woodcock, Quail and Pheasant.

I'll almost certainly do less hunting than trap shooting, though hunting is arguably more important/serious due to costs and real, live game.

I'm not really sure what the hunting areas would be like, as I haven't done it before. It'd mainly be in IL, Southern WI and maybe OH or IA.

Is 28" vs 30" splitting hairs or should I seriously consider one over the other?

Kirk's shooter caught

Here he is
www.msn.com/en-in/crime/general/tyler-robinson-identified-as-charlie-kirk-s-alleged-killer-who-is-the-22-year-old-utah-man-now-in-custody/ar-AA1Mqoas?ocid=BingNewsSerp
1757688893963.png


Authorities on Friday identified 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, a resident of Utah, as the prime suspect in the assassination of conservative activist and businessman Charlie Kirk. The development comes after a nationwide manhunt that gripped the United States since Kirk’s fatal shooting earlier this week at Utah Valley University.


call to action icon





According to law enforcement sources cited by the New York Post, Robinson was taken into custody on Friday after his father helped facilitate the surrender. U.S. President Donald Trump, confirming the arrest during a live television interview, said with “a high degree of certainty, we have him.”

Suspect in Custody After Days-Long Search​

The news of the Charlie Kirk suspect in custody marks a turning point in a case that has shaken the political and cultural landscape of the country. Kirk, 31, was shot while addressing a Turning Point USA event in Orem, Utah, before a crowd of over 3,000 people.
The shooter allegedly opened fire from a rooftop position around midday on Wednesday, hitting Kirk in the neck with a single bullet. Despite immediate medical attention, Kirk succumbed to his injuries in hospital shortly after.

The incident triggered an intensive manhunt involving the FBI, local police, and federal marshals. Authorities released surveillance footage of a figure dressed in black fleeing across a university rooftop. A reward of up to $100,000 was announced for information leading to the suspect’s capture.

How Tyler Robinson Was Caught​

President Trump disclosed that Robinson’s father played a critical role in persuading his son to surrender. Trump told Fox News that a “minister who was involved with law enforcement” initially recognized the suspect and contacted the family. The father then convinced Robinson to drive with him to a police station, where he was handed over to authorities.
“Somebody that was very close to him said, ‘That’s him,’” Trump noted. “The father convinced the son. They drove into the police headquarters, and he’s there now.”

Law enforcement officials have not yet released further details about Robinson’s background or possible motive. However, Trump made clear his stance on the punishment he believes is warranted.

Trump Calls for Death Penalty​

In his remarks, Trump described Kirk as “the finest person” and said the killing was a deliberate act that merited the harshest penalty. “I hope he’s going to be found guilty and I hope he gets the death penalty,” Trump said.
The President also confirmed that he plans to attend Kirk’s funeral, which is expected to take place in Arizona. “They’ve asked me to go, and I think I have an obligation,” he added.

Evidence Collected in the Charlie Kirk shooting Case​

Before the suspect was identified, investigators had recovered critical evidence from the crime scene. A bolt-action rifle, believed to be the weapon used in the shooting, was discovered in a wooded area near the university campus. The firearm was identified as an imported Mauser .30-06 bolt-action rifle and was found wrapped in a towel alongside three unfired rounds.
Officials also recovered a palm print and a footwear impression near the rooftop from which the fatal shot was believed to have been fired. The rifle is now undergoing forensic analysis at an FBI laboratory to determine whether it can be directly linked to Robinson.

Tyler Robinson: What We Know So Far​

Robinson, described as a 22-year-old Utah local, has no prior national profile but is now at the center of one of the most closely watched criminal cases in recent years. His sudden identification as the Charlie Kirk killer caught has fueled public speculation, though investigators have yet to outline a clear motive.
Reports suggested that engravings linked to antifascist and transgender ideology were found on the rifle, though officials have not confirmed whether these markings point to Robinson’s personal beliefs or affiliations.

For now, the immediate focus remains on securing the suspect in custody and beginning the legal process. Authorities are expected to announce charges in the coming days.
