Condi is smart, has class and is conservative. in addition to English, she speaks Russian, French, German and Spanish.  She has served on the Board of Directors for some of America's top corporations. If she were to be President (which I would support), she would be one of the brightest, most accomplished presidents we ever had. Not to mention she has a deeper knowledge and understanding of world governments and leaders, on the level of top CIA assholes.https://youtu.be/T4C-VuqubFM

Theoretically, any civilian with a .50 BMG rifle can shoot down the China Balloons.  A 50 caliber rifle has a vertical range of approximately 122,000 feet in optimal conditions.  The China balloons travel in a narrow range of 52,000 feet to 64,000 feet.  This is about half the distance of what a projectile from a 50 BMG rifle can attain.

I propose that a group of civilians with Barrett 50 caliber rifles (or others) gather together in one location where the balloon is projected to travel over.  If enough 50 caliber rifles were fired in a tight grid pattern, ahead of the forward vector of the balloon (would need to be calculated), there is a decent chance that at least one projectiles would strike and damage it.

A typical Barrett 82A1 has a magazine capacity of 10 rounds.  If you gathered 25 shooters, that would be a grid of 5x5 for 10 successive shots.  And, you can have an unlimited number of magazines.  So, the shots would be fired perhaps a rate of 1 round per 8 seconds. After one magazine, the balloon may move out of range.  You would want to time this so that everyone on a coordinated basis goes through at least one magazine.

What would this accomplish?

• It would show China that WE, THE PEOPLE will go to war with the Chinks, regardless of what our sopping-wet ******-President does.
• It would show China how much WE, THE PEOPLE care about them.
• It would signal our own Government that if they can't take care of business, WE, THE PEOPLE can and will.
• And, it would be a crap-ton of fun.

What would a sportsman hunt with a 50 caliber $8799 gun?
If you wan to shoot down a Chinese balloon, go right ahead.

The only 50 caliber I'd buy would be the Barrett 82A1, and actually $8,800 is a really good price for a new one. I recall seeing people 10 years ago trying to sell their used 82A1's for close to $10K

HOWEVER, actually shooting one of these for **** and giggles is expensive. About $3.50 every time you pull that trigger.  I would take maybe one or 2 shots with it and then keep it in my safe with a stash of 50BMG.  Heck, that's what I do with most of my guns anyway, no biggie.  It's just that I don't want to spend $9K on another safe queen. 

The last rifle (bullpup) I purchased was a 308.  I actually enjoy shooting that, albeit ammo is still expensive.  Still, it's fun to shoot and I've got a nephew who likes shooting it as well. So, it gets a little "love" every now and then.

Most of that is correct.  She also has a very high IQ.  Chappelle called her Cunnilingus Rice    
But all that wasted on being a neocon psychopath is a damned shame.

   $3.50 is expensive.
My self defense rounds in my daily carry cost $2.00 a pop though. I don't shoot them every range trip but still fire off a mag full at times just to keep in touch with the more powerful load.
 I'll never buy a Barret though. Like you said. Too much money for something that won't get used that much.

If I'm going to get into a war with China, I would want Condi at the helm.  She could out-think that fat-**** Xi Jinping 9-ways to Sunday, and show the Denver Broncos how to win a Super Bowl - all in a day. 

Where Biden doesn't know what the word "chess" means, and Trump thinks its the same game as checkers, Condi would have Xi Jinping beat in 12 moves, and complete the winning move in "Go" against him before he even realized what "other game" she is playing.  By the time Xi Pingpong realized Condi was playing Chess and Go, at the same time, it would be too late,

 Condi is perhaps the only black woman I ever found rather attractive.  Sure, she's old now and has lost a some of her luster. I am a bit fascinated with her.  Maybe its because she is an accomplished pianist, or because she graduated cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa at the age of 19.  Could be her aptitude for truly understanding the key foreign players.  Maybe even her affinity for capitalism and big business. Or, maybe its that she always pushes herself to transcend her comfort zone onward to engage in new exciting endeavors, always at a top level.

Condi is the real deal - there is hardly another person I know who could keep up with, let alone outshine, this lady.
