Hummm that work if you know were his landing spot is and it has nice brush cover all around with no guard patrols and no electroinc sensors are guarding the perimeter - and our sniper doesm’t happen to pick the exact spot the Warhog pilot picks to drop unused ordiance like napalm... but then I digress

1000-yard shots aren’t all that hard.

vs. one Warthog?

I wonder if Dick Morris could calculate and incumbent's chances of re-election
after wiping out a suburban neighborhood to get one house with resistor in it?

He's good but not that good.

"Still, if you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

The Spartans at Thermopylae knew this. The fighting Jews of Masada knew this, when every man, woman and child died rather than submit to Roman tyranny. The Texans who died at the Alamo knew this. The frozen patriots of Valley Forge knew this. The "expendable men" of Bataan and Corregidor knew this. If there is one lesson of Hitlerism and the Holocaust, it is that free men, if they wish to remain free, must resist would-be tyrants at the first opportunity and at every opportunity. Remember that whether they the come as conquerors or elected officials, the men who secretly wish to be your murderers must first convince you that you must accept them as your masters. Free men and women must not wait until they are "selected", divided and herded into Warsaw Ghettos, there to finally fight desperately, almost without weapons, and die outnumbered. The tyrant must be met at the door when he appears. At your door, or mine, wherever he shows his bloody appetite. He must be met by the pistol which can defeat an army. He must be met at every door, for in truth we outnumber him and his henchmen.

May it never come to this in our country ---

I really don't think the US government agents are going door to door taking our firearms away from us.

Who was it that carried out the post-Katrina gun confiscations in NO? (Sorry, I don't recall exactly which agencies were involved.) While they may not have been done by federal agents, gun confiscations did happen.

Jeff, you should republish your “The Use of Force in Defense of Liberty” - a well-reasoned and superb piece of work.

Poor ol’ Dick - he’d be busy trying to calculate something which would never happen - once such stuff begins, there are no elections for anything nationally - the presumed incumbent, Husssein, would have assumed the role of tryant - a position for which there is no electoral process.

One resistor means nothing - it’s the hundreds of thousands which would constitute any meaningful resistance. The local police would take care of the one here and the one there. Who takes care of the masses of resistors? Mr. Warthog...

...don't forget the B-52s carpet bombing towns and cities across the land.

I believe that was C.S. Lewis, not T.S. Elliot (or the guy you mentioned either!)

“With a handgun against an Army you can die like a man, with a vigorous second amendment and a citizenry armed as the founders intended you can live like a man.”

I was just preparing to say... What handgun..

Hell I am better armed then most ground pounders. Don’t have a select fire weapon but I have a couple of shotguns, an Rock River AR15, an SKS M59, and a Winchester Model 70 30-06. That’s before we even get to the handguns.

I really don’t think we have much to fear from the Army beung turned on us but I stand prepared.

Oh, and there's that little detail of getting killed at work, that most people (except police and fire fighters) don't have to worry much about.

Thank you for your service.
