And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Makes sense. The firing pin spring is compressed by a ramp, once the gun rotates to the end of the ramp it is free to come forward and strike the primer. Al_in_Ottawa
No, they simply did it before there was a warning. The warning was to prevent a repeat. That's the dotMil since ever.
Outside the Edson Range chow hall on Camp Pendleton, where every West Coast marine recruit learns basic rifle marksmanship, and in plain view of passing traffic on I-5, on the concrete apron where recruit platoons form up as they finish a meal, in front of a dozen large glass windows in the main dining room, was a large red sign with gold letters right at the edge of the grass: Do Not Urinate Here.
Every single recruit who saw that sign new why there was a sign there, without being told: because some idiot recruit had once done it, probably the one and only time it ever happened, and earning the volcanic wrath of any number of drill instructors. Just thinking about Private Whizbang's crime and punishment brought a thrice-daily dose of entertainment and amusement for a full three weeks of boot camp.
