Americans Won't Give Up Their Guns, Law Or Not!

A few days after the tragic Sandy Hook school murders, a young Marine in fatigues stationed himself at the front entrance of the Nashville elementary school his two children attend. Another parent heard him admit to a reporter that he was unarmed. The other parent commented that, even though the young Marine standing guard was not armed, it made him “feel better” to know he was there.

It’s often been observed that “perception is more important than reality”. The observation is often correct. It is never MORE CORRECT than for those we’ve come to call “liberals”. I prefer “statist” but “liberal” has morphed from its classic meaning to the other end of the spectrum so I’ll stay with it.

Since these folks operate almost entirely on EMOTION and FEELING, REALITY seldom allows FACTS to intrude upon the delusional worldview they have constructed and the comfort that provides them. It is that illogical, irrational and delusional mindset that prompts many of them to continue to quest after a Utopian society. The thought that such a society can and will never be achieved in a fallen world populated with failed sinners never penetrates whatever remains of their cognitive consciousness. It’s a DANGEROUS WORLD and, as the liberals continue to “define deviancy down”, it becomes more dangerous daily.

There is another, far more sinister, level of the “liberal” call for gun control.

It was Mencken who offered that “The urge to save humanity is most often a false front for the URGE TO RULE.” He clearly had been a student of the liberal politicians of his day. Were he alive today and able to observe the likes of Chuck Schumer, Diane Feinstein, Obama and the rest, he’d almost certainly have used far stronger language to frame his sage observation.

To conclude, dozens of studies reveal the FACTS concerning gun control. Those FACTS are that where firearms are widely and READILY available to law-abiding citizens, CRIME GOES DOWN! The liberals who willfully ignore the FACTUAL EVIDENCE and continue to call for gun control (i.e. the DISARMING of DECENT CITIZENS, thereby denying them the ability to exercise their God-given right to self-defense) are those about whom Mencken wrote: Their goal is NOT about preserving life. It is about the hell-bent pursuit of the impossible to achieve Utopian world where all are equal but some (that’d be THEM) are MORE equal than others (that’d be US).

There are many PRO-RTKABA videos on You Tube that your often busy lives don’t allow you to find on your own. Search there for “Gun Control”, watch them – and, more importantly – SHARE THEM with the folks in your orbit.

We’re in a fight. And losing will ultimately cost us much more than our right to our guns.

Thank you for posting this. It helps my spirit; however, my big concern is for the most part we are not organized.

We are mostly millions of lone wolves and thus sitting ducks for the jack booted thugs.

Any suggestions?

Thank you for posting this. It is logical and reasoned. I would add the idea of operational security. No one has to know how many guns or bullets any American has. Thanks.

Here is another thing to ponder. If owning a firearm becomes officially illegal and you are of the strong fabric that will not have a basic human right be removed with a stroke of a pen, what is left to prevent converting all those AR’s to full autos? I guess what I am saying is, when a person has made the decision to never give up their guns and is willing to fight to the death in keeping them, what prevents them from taking the already illegal semi-auto gun and making it a full auto?

I am eagerly anticipating Andrew Cuomo’s plan to ban guns in NY. This is going to be fun. The creator of the housing crisis during his tenure at HUD is going to try an take my guns.....Hahahaha.

None of us will surrender any of our weapons, sell them to the state, now or ever.

I know Many NYS troopers who will not go out on any such confiscations. Heck, the guy (FFL) who I buy my AR’s from is a sherrif’s deputy.

Good luck Andy....even your law enforcement won’t help you.

There are no local police within 30 miles of me, but if the sheriff did manage to make it up to my driveway, I’d invite him to have at searching the roughly 1500 acres of forest behind me. Should keep him busy for at least two or three years.

Dunno. There is a difference - they WANT your guns.

Illegals are here to fill in for the children we murdered and hopefully put the collapse of Social Security back one generation - why do you think the SS Admin won’t cooperate with the ICE? No one in DC wants them gone.

So who is going to come and get them? There are millions of guns that have never even required registration.

It didn’t work. If the French hadn’t intervened, we would have likely lost. Who are we going call in for assistance this time? Who hates the US enough to send troops and arms?

Our only real hope would be if the majority of the US Armed Forces kicked in on our side.

I just don't think the gun control folks are thinking with their brains

What brains?

About 23 years ago I bought several AK-47 magazines real cheap. I don’t even have an AK or anything to use it in.

I used to know a mechanical engineer whose wife bought dozens of AK rifles just because they were cheap and Clinton was threatening to ban them.

From the TEXAS Declaration of Independence from Mexico..

http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/texdec.asp

“It has demanded us to deliver up our arms, which are essential to our defence, the rightful property of freemen, and formidable only to tyrannical governments.”

We are liberals...they are filthy communists.

I am a liberal....I believe in Liberty. They do not believe in liberty, they believe in communism. Socialists are communists.

Good point. However, full automatic is very wasteful of ammo, and semi-automatic is more effective for most tasks since full-automatic ‘sprays’ are not properly aimed.

I understand that having been in the Army. Rather one well placed round that a hundred near misses.

I asked this as more of a philosophical question than a tactical one. Once the worms get out of the can, what is the next in the line of progression. I can see a path that one everything becomes illegal, nothing will be illegal. It could turn into something completely unintended. Having read a bit of history, Americans tend to not behave well when pushed against their will.

Who do we call? Our 90 million gun-owning friends and neighbors, that's who.

American gun owners comprise the largest armed force on the planet. We dwarf the American military, which comprises roughly 1.5 million active duty personnel.

And yes - if push came to shove, most of them would side with the people.
