For widespread distribution, more cutting-edge commentary from Matt Bracken, former SEAL and author of the Enemies Foreign and Domestic trilogy, along with his most recent novel, Castigo Cay:
Dear Mr. Security Agent, Federal, state, or local. You, the man or woman with the badge, the sworn LEO or FLEA and those who inhabit the many law enforcement niches in between and on all sides. This essay is directed to you, because in the end, how this turmoil about gun control turns out will depend largely upon your decisions and actions over the coming months and years.
I sincerely wish that members of Congress—who may soon be voting on new gun control measures—would read this essay, but I realize that’s a pipe dream, considering the impenetrable bubbles around those exalted entities. So I’ll settle for you, Mr. (or Ms.) Security Agent, since you already gobble up everything on the internet, and I don’t have to seek you out.
A decade ago I wrote the novel Enemies Foreign and Domestic, a tale about how tragic events involving the misuse of firearms can be used by an evil administration to misinform and mold public opinion to support its malign anti-freedom policies.
No, my novel was not predicting “Operation Fast and Furious” a decade before that covert policy of “pursuing gun control under the radar,” (which was President Obama’s explanation to Sarah Brady for his lack of overt political action). That inter-agency gun-walking policy, remember, resulted in the deaths of over four hundred Mexicans and two U.S. federal agents, murdered in an effort to discredit the Second Amendment and lead to more restrictive gun control laws in America. (If Nixon—or any Republican, for that matter—were in office, the intentional bloodbath would be called Murdergate, but today’s collaborating Woodwards and Bernsteins are in on the cover-up.)
Instead of gun-walking thousands of AK-47s to Mexican drug cartel assassins (who would believe that?), Enemies Foreign and Domestic begins with a sniper opening fire on a packed football stadium. A thousand innocent fans die, some from the ninety bullets fired but most in the ensuing panic stampede. In a traumatized America, the fictional stadium massacre results in the banning of all semi-automatic rifles, with no buyback, no grandfathering of weapons already owned, and no sunset clause. Citizens had to turn them in for destruction or face years in federal prison.
The page-one stadium massacre was simply a plot device chosen to launch the story in high gear and set the stage to immediately and fully explore the main theme of the novel: the calculated transformation of our Constitutional republic into a socialist police state. Since I prefer to write tightly wound fiction transpiring at a rapid pace in a compressed time period, I examined the imposition of totalitarian controls over the course of just a few weeks, not years or decades.
1. The TSA: On the road to the American police state Consider: The TSA was born in the panicked backwash of 9/11, which is understandable given the events of that day, when Muslim maniacs screaming allahu akbar murdered 3,000 Americans and others in the name of Islamic global jihad. But a decade after 9/11, due entirely to political correctness, it’s completely out of the question to profile Mohammed at the airport yet absolutely necessary for that bloated agency to “randomly” select your pre-teen or teenage daughter for a body search performed by a government matron in a TSA uniform. This frequently under-the-clothes and against-the-skin complete body search may done in full public view, or in a hidden back room, solely at the discretion of the TSA agents involved.
Meanwhile, Mom and Dad stand off to the side where they have been directed to wait, saying nothing, scarcely moving, avoiding random eye contact lest a TSA security agent catch a wayward smirk or utterance of protest. To pull out a cell phone camera at this time would surely invite arrest. To walk over and grab the matron by the arm is out of the question. Defending your child from the indignity would lead only to your being Tasered and handcuffed on the cold airport floor. After that, your entire family may wind up in some TSA airport detention cells, conveniently located right on your concourse and unknown to you until then. Better to stew in silence, let the incident pass, and try to forget it.
So in the year 2013, in the land of the free and the home of the brave, we stand with our eyes averted, burning with humiliation, while our spouses or children are groped above and below the waist by blue-gloved government prison guards—only we are in an airport in a free country, and not in a prison!
A long, but good read. Remember that 0bama, clinton and Holder came up with “Fast and Furious” to cause deaths and to blame us. This operation caused an estimated 400 Mexican deaths and two US LEO deaths. If they are willing to do this to take the first step of disarming us what will they do for the other steps? The Steps according to Matt: 1. Registration 2. Confiscation 3. Extermination.
Now they seem to be on to plan two which is importing radical muslims, many who believe it is their duty to kill unbelievers.
I forgot to add that the entire essay is not posted here, but is at the link.
I read around a third then scanned the rest as my eyes are tired tonight.
I found nothing but truth in the article. As near as I can tell, I never disagree with Matt at all.
If only his words could be gotten out to every American.
Given they probably bought them wholesale, selling them retail would put a dent in the deficit, eh?
I disagree, it isn’t a good read. It isn’t a good read because he leaves out the most important people in his criticism....the majority. A half million cops in a country of over 300 million are irrelevant.
way to go Matt, awesome read like always.
Thanks for reposting this article. It’s still very timely and relevant.
One thing in the article made me smile. I have an “arsenal” but really need several more.
I did a quick count and I own 17 powder burners and probably 15 or so air guns.
I still need a Sig P226, a 1911, a Remington 1187, a Winchester model 70 in 30-06, a Colt H-Bar, A Ruger 10-22, an S&W model 29, and a Beretta Lupara. I would like several more but would be satisfied with just these in addition to what I already have. Now that I think about it, I could also use another Swedish Mauser.
At one time I owned all of the above except the 11-87 and Lupara.
Really liked that Professor Raoul X article u mentioned in your AJ interview..!
How is that congressional contempt thing going, Issa, you spineless POS?>
bttt
I made a pledge to restrict to two prime calibers for ammo stocking simplicity, .45 ACP and 7.62x51mm. Somehow, ended up with yet a new caliber.

This is an exceptional essay, and imho, it may have achieved its purpose, in that many of the the very people he was addressing WERE the ones who became energized and came forward with info they had and helped with the bringing down through wikileaks of HRC.
A few days ago, Matt Bracken was interviewed on Infowars and discussed possible false flags, including some involving the “protestors” we see flooding the streets lately. It is a MUST SEE interview, especially for Matt Bracken fans:
For those who are prayer warriors, the scenarios he paints IMHO must be brought to the altar for our Lord to disposition according to His will. I give my earnest gratitude to all have are and have been holding vigil for this great nation and the one who has stood up to fight for us along with his team.
Oh that’s a good one, grey_whiskers! Please do not forget that - and at appropriate times, keep putting it forward!
