They did so in New Orleans.

Actually, the videos that I saw, showed them joining the rest of the thieves.

But your “enemy” is still a majority of Americans.

Do you want to shoot them, or convince them of the error of their ways?

If they haven't figured it out on their own by now, maybe the herd needs to be thinned out a little.

Handguns can’t shoot down UAVs

The U.S. military is loyal to the government, unfortunately.

Your premise (Four “insurgents” with crude weapons could tie up 150 Marines for most of a day.) is assuming that the Marines had the discretion to prosecute the engagement without having their hands tied by the pseudo -leaders in DC. I can say that if there was the choice to fully engage the enemy as it should have, their abilities (insurgents) would have been nothing more than a fart in the wind.

Agree. However, look at what happened in Vegas on Monday. ONE nut job. Crazy cops firing OVER 80 shots and then half the cops in Vegas spent the rest of the day looking for another shooter.

A very close family friend was in Iraq five years ago. 312 days. 312 patrols on the same route. 25 IED attacks. 27 Marines dead, 35 wounded and I am not sure how much equipment destroyed. Really foolish game.

I too an encouraged by the tea parties, etc.

Yet, it appears to me that is Obama continues his agenda of cramming all of his desired changes/programs through our nation will have reached the point of no return. Our Constitution being rode rough shod over again and again.
We know they believe they are smart enough to rule the world. They have no scruples about what it takes to get it done.

Cap and Trade

Healthcare,

Diversity

Bailouts,

Immigration and all its acceptances,

one World Government,

Bankrupting our money and nation
,
Yielding power to the UNITED NATIONS,

Accepting International law
,
Persecuting Christians,

Control, Control, Control,

Declaring Himself President for life,

Fixing elections (the sham of an election)

All these things are on their playbook and timetable?

Does anyone seriously doubt it?

Has France, Italy, England Spain, etc., recovered from their Socialist governments? Look at the reality of the European world. Sharia law, not having freedom to own guns, overrun with immigrants,...

I pray I am mistaken it the world I see head in America.

God help us in our day, in Jesus name ... amen.

The point of this article is: a resistance movement can
acquire very powerful weaponry with just a pistol!

I like this part:

Consider that last year there were more than 14 million Americans who bought licenses to hunt deer in the country. 14 million--that's a number greater than the largest five professional armies in the world combined. Consider also that those deer hunters are not only armed, but they own items of military utility--everything from camouflage clothing to infrared "game finders", Global Positioning System devices and night vision scopes. Consider also that quite a few of these hunters are military veterans. Just as moving around in the woods and stalking game are second nature, military operations are no mystery to them, especially those who were on the receiving end of guerrilla war in Southeast Asia. Indeed, such men...

Those guys ROCK!!! Talk about National Treasure. God bless.

And, coincidentally, who made the top 10 on Incompetano’s “enemies list”?

Yep, same groups.

“Its almost a lost art...I wish I had kept his mold. I do have a pot of lead still out in the garage, it had a pouring spout on it to pour out the lead...”

Casting is very popular these days. There are discussion groups dedicated to that aspect of reloading. Reloading itself is more popular than ever with MUCH better equipment and materials available.
