Bracken: Stick To Your Guns!
Western Rifle Shooters Association ^ | January 10, 2013 | Matt Bracken

Posted on 01/13/2013 4:07:27 AM PST by Perseverando

I posted this elsewhere, but I like it, so here it is. All of my stuff you feel has merit, please feel free to repost or clip anything I write, with or w/o attribution, I could not care any less about that. If my words are ammo, “Fire for effect.”

Here it is.

Stick to your guns, no matter what.

If they come to take them by force, they have declared war on the Constitution, and on you. At that point, war is joined, just as it was on another big gun confiscation raid on April 19, 1775. If it was legal in 2012, it’s legal in 2013 and it will be forever. If they say otherwise, they are liars and traitors and oath breakers and domestic enemies.

If you are disarmed and led away in cuffs, are you so sure you’ll be bailed out? And not taken to a “new place” with “new rules”?

Every survivor of every genocide says the same: when they come to take your guns, shoot them. Make them work for it, and THEIR system is overwhelmed, because they don’t have 20 million FLEAs to do armed battles all over the country, instead of nice polite arrest raids like those that that Glen “Ghandi” Beck envisions, with the NRA lawyers throwing your bail and suing the pants off the .gov.

It’s like the Solzhenitzn paragraph “how we burned later in the camps” because they didn’t resist the GRU/KGB in the lobbies and stairwells with axes and knives.

Entire divisions of Russian troops hiked home from WW1 in 1917/18, carrying their rifles and swords and other sidearms. Very early on, Lenin decreed that public safety demanded they all be turned in, under penalty of death. And so they were disarmed, but not the Party members! Then came the purges, the Great Terror, the gulags, and tens of millions of dead. So well preserved was the fiction, that most Russians, when arrested, thought, “Gee, there must be some mistake. I haven’t done anything wrong. They’ll let me go in a few hours.” (Wrong anwer.)

If you give up your arms, you are placing your entire trust in the permanent future benevolence of the U.S. govt. This trust is invariably fatal. The German gun registration laws and limits on “military” weapons (then, Mausers etc) were put in in the 1920s Weimar Republic,years before Hitler.

They were all common sense and reasonable gun control laws, I’m sure today’s liberals would agree 100%. Then Hitler comes along, and uses the list to first disarm, and then ghetto-ize or “deport” and finally gas the Jews and others, killing millions.

Genocide, using the “common sense” gun registration lists to locate their most dangerous enemies. But first, they just come to pick up the weapons. “No trouble, foks!” They come for the mass arrests later, when the people are disarmed.

Millions of Polish Jews were rounded up this way, when the German police only needed a 1-10 ratio to thier victims. 100 German military police, 4-fs in their forties, bottom of the barrel conscripts, would round up and murder a town of a thousand. Force them to gather, then march groups at gunpoint into the woods for execution. A 1-10 ratio means the killer police are not worried at all. The victims were all disarmed. If they were armed, every village would requre a major military effort.

I’m sorry, I do NOT trust that our .gov won’t turn as mean as the old USSR to its “class enemies,” the MSM’s duly appointed scapegoats, us white racist tea-party terrorists, the bitter clingers.

Folks, they perceive that we are reactionary forces not only standing in the way of social progress and liberal utopia, we are actively blocking it. That makes us pure Evil, since their plan for utopia is pure Good. That means they will come to feel totally justified in seeking a “final solution to the bitter clinger question.”

And once their mortal enemies (that’s us) are disarmed and helpless…the temptation grows to simply do away with them. Bill Ayers thought they would need to murder 10% of the population to achieve their utopia.

As it was with the Turkish Armenians, German Jews, Russian Kulaks, Chinese, Ugandans, Guatemalens, Cambodians, Cubans, Rwandans, and on and on, history’s lesson is clear:

STICK TO YOUR GUNS!

Please circulate this - the history piece at the end is not very well understood by most Americans, and hidden by our so called “mainstream press” which is not mainstream by any means.

My permit to carry a visible or concealed weapon is the 2nd Amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America.

Please take time to read this and pay particular attention to “A Little Gun History” about half way down.

Why Carry a Gun??

My old grandpa said to me “Grandson there comes a time in every man’s life when he stops bustin’ knuckles and starts bustin’ caps. Usually this occurs when he becomes too old to take a butt whuppin’.

I don’t carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed.
I don’t carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m paranoid. I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m evil. I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world.
I don’t carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government.
I don’t carry a gun because I’m angry. I carry a gun so that I don’t have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared.
I don’t carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.
I don’t carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun because men (and women should) know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love.
I don’t carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate.
I don’t carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me.

Police protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves. Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.

A LITTLE GUN HISTORY...

In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control.
From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.


In 1911, Turkey established gun control.
From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
China established gun control in 1935.
From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
***********************************************************
Personally, I carry a gun because I’m too young to die and too old to take a butt whoopin’.....author unknown (but obviously brilliant)
**********************************************
Guatemala established gun control in 1964.
From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
*****************************
Uganda established gun control in 1970.
From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
*****************************
Cambodia established gun control in 1956.
From 1975 to 1977, one million educated people, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
**************************************
Defenseless people rounded up and exterminated in the 20th Century because of gun control: 56 million

You won’t see this data on the U.S. evening news, or hear politicians disseminating this information.

Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.

Take note my fellow Americans, before it’s too late. The next time someone talks in favor of gun control, please remind them of this history lesson.

With guns, we are ‘citizens’. Without them, we are ‘subjects’.

During WW II the Japanese decided not to invade America because they knew most Americans were ARMED.

If you value your freedom, please spread this Anti Gun-Control message to all of your friends.

The purpose of fighting is to win.
There is no possible victory in defense.
The sword is more important than the shield, and skill is more important than either.
The final weapon is the brain.
All else is supplemental.

SWITZERLAND ISSUES EVERY HOUSEHOLD A GUN.
SWITZERLAND’S GOVERNMENT TRAINS EVERY ADULT, TO WHOM THEY
ISSUE A RIFLE.
SWITZERLAND HAS THE LOWEST GUN RELATED CRIME RATE OF ANY
CIVILIZED COUNTRY IN THE WORLD.

IT’S A NO BRAINER. DON’T LET OUR GOVERNMENT WASTE MILLIONS
OF OUR TAX DOLLARS IN AN EFFORT TO MAKE ALL LAW ABIDING
CITIZENS BE EASY TARGETS.

I’m a firm believer in the 2nd. Amendment.

If you are too, please forward.

Do the current “kids killed by guns” statistics filter out teens in gangs killed by drive-by shootings and other gang activity?

I just got an email news letter from my Congressman, Jeff Miller. He basically made it plain that he is going to stand up for our second amendment rights.

Of course his district is composed mostly of military and rednecks so that was no surprise since he likes to be re-elected every 2 years.

No.

Some stats include people up to 25 years old as ‘children’. A twenty-year-old gang banger shot while robbing a convenience store is a ‘child victim of gun violence’.

Even if I must stand alone, I will resist any and all attempts at the abrogation and or confiscation of my God-given rights, as well as those of my neighbors, friends and family. Who's with me?

For every one of ours, we need to pledge that one of theirs suffers the same fate.

I would prefer a much higher ratio, 1:4 sounds about right

The utopians would do it to us for “standing in the way of social justice” (sic) if they could.

Meaning, if we were disarmed.

Even if just one deportee on the train smashes a Nazi on the head with a piece of scrounged iron, as they open the boxcar at Dachau, that is better than no resistance at all.

Do you know the story of Sobibor, have you seen the movie with Rutger Hauer and Alan Arkin? It’s all about weapons, even in a Nazi death camp. That is a must-see movie.

I haven't, but will, as I highly esteem your opinion in these matters. Thank you for the recommendation. As famous FReeper used to say;

That “gang” problem is really the elephant in the room that nobody wants to talk about in this debate on guns and violence. But I don’t see how you can have an honest debate about guns and violence without discussing “gang” violence.

Nonsense. The only "gang problem" we have is restricted to leftist politicians lacking the intestinal fortitude to enforce the laws in their jurisdictions.

The gang problem is a red herring, and has absolutely nothing to do with suburbanites owning viable fighting weapons.

That's why I laugh at the "anti-bullying" campaigns, which are really trying to generate sympathy for homosexually leaning kids.

Anyone who knows homosexuals knows "Hell hath no fury like a queen with the upper hand."
