What Really Happened With That SIG M18 at FE Warren Air Force Base

Two airmen at a Wyoming U.S. Air Force base have pleaded guilty to making false statements about the deadly shooting of a third that prompted the suspension of Sig Sauer M18 pistol use at nuclear weapons sites for a month, the Air Force said in a statement Friday.

The gun pause by the Air Force Global Strike Command after the death of Brayden Lovan, 21, in late July was lifted in late August after Air Force officials determined the M18 was safe to carry.

Lovan was an airman with the 90th Security Forces Squadron, 90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base outside Cheyenne.

Details about his death were released for the first time Friday, including that the alleged shooter, Marcus White-Allen, had pointed the gun at Lovan’s chest in a “joking manner.” White-Allen after the shooting allegedly urged the other two surviving airmen to lie about what happened, according to the statement. …

White-Allen allegedly told [Airman Sarbjot] Badesha, “Here’s the story. Tell them that I slammed my duty belt on the desk and it went off.” White-Allen allegedly told Rodriguez to tell emergency responders that White-Allen’s “holster went off,” according to the statement.

Neither airman initially reported that information, leading investigators to believe at first that White-Allen’s M18 accidentally discharged, according to the statement.

        1. Fairly high ratio

          Tbf we have at least three screw ups. Maybe even four depending on tomfoolery what led up to the shooting.

  1. Ok. Now explain why p320s in a holster just go off???

    Without the trigger being touched.

    It’s all on video. But you can keep using your p320 if you want to. Since so many trust Sig Sauer.

    1. I’d love to see that video. Because all I’ve seen is grifters doing stupid stuff to generate clicks, and not a single cogent explanation of how that would happen without the trigger being pressed.
      Maybe your favorite bogeyman (the three LLLs, a group so nebulous so as to be emblematic not of the issues of a certain party, but of your embarrassing, tribalistic narrow-mindedness) are hiding it.

  2. Chinese Communist Party’s Military Mobilizes.



    The CCP uses espionage, political bribery, economic manipulation, intellectual property theft, spying, propaganda, cyber warfare, social media and school propaganda, and biological warfare (manufactured viruses, etc). The China Show highlighted a recent increase in the use of ‘sex warfare,’ when the CCP uses attractive women to woo and extract information from key leaders and experts in the business, science, and political sectors. Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D-Calif.) affair with Christine Fang is probably the most famous example. But despite the worrisome increase, that’s just one part of a multi-faceted war, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝗲 𝗕𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻, 𝗮𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗖𝗣-𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗨.𝗦., 𝘄𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆.

    In addition to the domestic intel war, now the CCP is mobilizing its military, as noted above, potentially to seize Taiwan, which manufactures 60% of global semiconductors and 90% of advanced chips. These are the chips upon which we depend for the electronics and machines on which our society is built, and without which our tech-dependent nation and government could not function. Dictator Xi is purging military leadership, “civil-military fusion” — the forced marriage of China’s private sector with the military — is more enforced than ever on Chinese companies, and “national security” is a prime focus in the CCP’s new Five-Year Plan.

    Tye clarified that this does not mean the CCP plans to invade Taiwan next week or even next month, but it does mean that something significant and potentially internationally catastrophic is certainly brewing in China. Don’t forget that the CCP has numerous economic and political crises to address that it cannot truly handle, and it might decide in the next couple of years to “fix” those crises by going to war.

  3. Why Getting Rid of the Filibuster Would Destroy America as It Currently Exists.

    “Donald Trump has demanded that the Senate abolish the filibuster.

    The Senate Republicans politely declined to cooperate. A spokesman for Senate Republican Majority Leader John Thune remained unmoved: ‘Leader Thune’s position on the importance of the legislative filibuster is unchanged.’ Thune has consistently spoken against ending the filibuster or reforming it.

    𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗻, 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗯𝗮𝘁𝗲, 𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿, 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆.

    ‘𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗶𝗰𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗖 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗺𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗱𝗼 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆,’ 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗮𝗶𝗱,

    Trump’s anger and frustration at not being able to get his way, even with House and Senate Republican majorities, are understandable. He’s not alone. Almost every president since 1806 has expressed frustration with senators’ inability to “end the previous question” and cut off debate on a bill. That year, the rule change meant a simple majority couldn’t end the discussion. It was in 1837 that the first formal use of the filibuster was initiated. More rule changes over the next 70 years eventually made it necessary to collect 67 votes to “call the question” and move the legislation along. In 1975, the number was reduced to 60, which is where we stand today.

    Every time party majorities in both Houses of Congress change, there are calls to end the filibuster. It’s not hard to understand that almost all of these calls come from the majority. “Obstructionism” might be political deadweight, but it works.

    The reason why it works is built into the DNA of our republic.

    1. cause ya know, the left wing problem solving method is: “Don’t be a part of the problem, be the whole problem.”

  4. More left wing crazy and violence: Woman arrested after threatening to blow up Lipscomb University over Charlie Kirk memorial.

    “Police said Karissa Hamlet posted on Facebook, ‘I’ll blow Lipscomb tf up rn,’ prompting immediate action from Lipscomb University and Lipscomb Academy’s campus security.

    According to the Metro Nashville Police Department, Hamlet has been charged with making a threat of mass violence and filing a false report. She is being held on a $12,000 bond.

  5. Special Taxes on Firearms are Unconstitutional.

    [with caption: ‘From its inception, the NFA was justified as a tax, with the registration being incidental to that tax and only existing ostensibly to ensure the tax was properly paid for each NFA item sold.’
    …]

    This is indeed correct, as from its inception, the NFA was justified as a tax, with the registration being incidental to that tax and only existing ostensibly to ensure the tax was properly paid for each NFA item sold. Then-Attorney General Cummings was clear about this in his testimony to Congress during the debates over the bill in 1934:

    [note: congress knew this was unconstitutional in terms of the second amendment. This is why their expressed and documented intent was to create it as a tax law because constitutionally congress has the power to tax. And the ‘registration and tax stamp’, that’s just to show the tax was paid and not having it meant the tax was not paid therefore a crime. see article link.]
