I have relatives in two foreign countries who would help them, if needed. I don't want them seeing my head get taken off by well-placed, high-capacity kill shot.
My fervent hope is that that is NOT the case. I’m all in favor of Patton’s doctrine in that regard.
I only hope I take down one or two of them in the process. Those of us who fight will be vastly outgunned, so I'm realistic about the outcome.
“...I have relatives in two foreign countries who would help them, ...”
I guess my point is that, if the Left feels that they can get away with it here, then nowhere is really safe. I do understand your point about the family though, as I am also a family man. My kids are grown, and expert marksmen, and very adept at handling firearms. That being said, I wouldn’t want them around for SHTF either. But that’s not up to me.
As for outgunned ... of course we will be. So were the Minutemen.
I’m a realist too. But that doesn’t change what sits on our shoulders.
What was it that Reagan said, quoting Churchill:
“You and I have the courage to say to our enemies, “There is a price we will not pay. There is a point beyond which they must not advance.” And this—this is the meaning in the phrase of Barry Goldwater’s “peace through strength.”
“...Winston Churchill said, “The destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we’re spirits—not animals.” And he said, “There’s something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.”
It is what is. And we either call ourselves Americans, and prove ourselves worthy of the appellation - or we don’t.
You’re not alone.
