    Practice appropriate trigger safety. Come with a readied weapon obviously, but keep that finger off the trigger until the split second before it’s necessary.

          I believe that “When they kick at your front door how you going to come? With your hands on your head or using proper trigger discipline with your gun?” doesn’t fit the syllable count.

            A colleague told me-- “don’t go out there, hide at home.” I waz like what? I would rather die on my feet than live on my knees. They are literally ripping up our Bill of Rights, our Constitution… don’t you stand for anything? Apparently not. Your solution is to be a “Good German” and avert your eyes? WTF. I don’t think we are good friends anymore.

            Ah, respect. Though I think you could slip “or by the trigger” without much fuss.

            My point is that the song is topical enough to warrant practical commentary.

              I was also playing The Clash… “Know Your Rights” and “Working for the Clampdown” as well as “Guns of Brixton.” Then I had to go down the DK road… “We’ve Got a Bigger Problem Now.” and to think… we were freaked out then… how far things have fallen.

              You can have trigger discipline and still put your finger on the trigger. I mean, you have to do that to shoot the gun. You know, like when some sort of nazi paramilitary organization is knocking at your door.
