Gun Digest Book of Beretta Pistols: Function, Accuracy, Performance

I’m sorry, but I can’t buy that. I’ll go with Affirmative Action hiring so long as it’s enlightened Affirmative Action hiring. What that means is, Affirmative Action hiring does no one any good if it’s construed as lowering the standards to let in people who otherwise wouldn’t qualify for the job. Enlightened Affirmative Action hiring is, you let people of every size, color, gender, and belief system compete and the ones who can do the job better are the ones you put to work. The history of it is, if you hire people who can’t do the job because it seems politically correct or convenient, the job doesn’t get done and people who needed the job done right end up suffering. But if you throw out height and weight and color and similar requirements and hire people who can do the job well however they do it, you end up getting the job done.
