Where is it written that one and only one job has to pay anyone enough to pat their bills?Socialism has killed the middle classYou read way too many murder novels. And when you start loading up all your other gear and trying to move through some tight spaces, those 5 extra rounds do weigh something. Try doing a double shift, crawl through a few tight spots, run down an alley and a few other not so easy things. You have no idea what a cops life really is. Of course, living in your mothers basement and never getting out except to purchase the next murder novel might explain it.
I don't read murder mysteries.
I know for a fact since I have put literally thousands of rounds through my Glock 19 that the difference in weight of a 15 round mag and a 10 round mag is virtually unnoticeable.
I literally just weighed one of my 9 mm JHP rounds on a food scale and it weighed a whopping 12 grams
So 60 grams difference between a 10 and 15 round magazine that is .13 lbs even if he carried 2 spare mags the total weight of ammo would be .39 lbs
Shit my fucking keys weigh more than that
Now you might be old and feeble but the average guy is not going to be weighed down by .a 15 round mag of 9 mm ammo
Try walking 60 miles in 4 days with a 50 lb pack and tell me if 60 grams would be too much extra weight
Boy, I'm impressed.
Enjoying your commie VA, SS Medicare benefits?
I enjoy the hell out of them. And I draw Military Retired Pay as well. Of course, people like me are the reason that you and others have the right to make your opinions known in public, among other things. No thanks is necessary, just keep sending money.
Ah, and I also draw my pension from my old business. I do okay. Not rich by any standards but I am comfortably middle class. Yes, one of the last living Middle class left alive. We are a dying breed.
Since you aren't a paying member of society, you have no idea what is killing it. I'll tell you what is killing it. The cost of living has outstripped the earning power of the common person. A person that makes 15 bucks an hour needs to work 1.5 full time jobs to keep up. This means that a single person has to have two jobs. And a married couple has to have a full time job for the man and at least a 20 hour job for the woman and that's not figuring in Child Care. This is Capitalism unchecked where the only thing on the Capitalist mind is to make as much money as he can as fast as he can. Notice, I am not ragging on Republicans since it's done by Democrats as well. It's just more likely to be done by a Republican who thinks the masses are sheep to be fleeced. There is no way in hell that a one room (so called studio apartment) is worth 2000 bucks a month anywhere on Earth. The Middle Class is disappearing because of the Greed of the upper Rich class.
