Civil War’s A-Brewin’

Had an 18 wheeler playing ride the bumper at hair raising speeds on a winding single lane road once. My cousin in the passenger seat pulled an Aussie 223 assault rifle out of the back seat we had just bought and feigned racking in a clip. That truck driver backed down to the speed limit and kept 100 foot behind us the rest of the way.

Not a shot fired, (nor a bullet to shoot in the car either). I found an armed populace to be a much more polite one.

Well thats their dream. Everybody has one. :-)

Their dreams may well turn into nightmares.

[CodeToad]

Yep. It works every time it is tried.

The petty tyrant is in every neighborhood.

The govt will likely start a civil war so they can declare martial law and take over.

You're close, but these 2 idiots, Zippy and Holder will keep throwing stones at us and once they realize it's not working, they will declare martial law anyway, starting the civil war.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

They use a belted case and the projectile is about .55 calibre. Ballistics are similar to .50BMG. The muzzle brake seems to have been designed to dig large holes in the sand and throw it in your face.

[dynachrome]

Yer right. I looked it up and it is .55 caliber. I’d also like a mauser T-13 ww1 anti tank rifle.

The petty tyrant is in every neighborhood.

Look to the local Homeowners Association - that is where they are drawn until they can get to larger, more powerful positions.

It is called “Block Captains”. Take the meanest, nastiest, liberal that you can find on each block and every apartment building, give them an armband and a radio. Hand them a sheet of rules for martial law. Tell them if anyone gets out of line to call and the offender will be shot on sight or arrested and tortured later.

Yeah, I'm not seeing that as a viable tactic in the fore see able future, at least not where I live:-)

This 50 year old lady would proudly be right beside you!!!

Larcenous and destructivd flash mobs of “urban youths” will be increasingly met with resistance. It’ll ramp up and the resistors will be able to out-gun the thugs for the most part. This’ll spur the leftist politicians to more gun and ammunition control which, in turn, will ramp up more resistance. Perhaps a small town police department will be taken over and some scattered calls for secession will be heard as it begins to snowball.

Then it’s anyone’s guess.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Used to shoot one, the bunch of guys I shot with had one. We would go out on the mudflats along the ICW and wreak havoc on the muddy creek banks.

Interesting reading there. Thanks.

I remember Janis Joplin singing that phrase in Me and Bobby McGee.

[dynachrome]

looks like it would be a shoulder breaker!

[MattinNJ]

We have been getting our asses kicked for decades.

[wally_bert]

Mine is next door. Good thing is that no one can stand the guy. His drive for power wouldn’t get past his driveway.

[rlmorel]

Listening to that book now for the third or fourth time. Very sobering.

People who don’t think it can happen here are simply not paying attention.

I wonder what the trucker’s reaction to one of these would have been? I ran across this at a Memorial Day event. I used a .3 neutral density filter on a 60D.
