I've pasted the whole column below. But there is a video that can only be seen on the site/not embedded here. So please, if you support my work, visit the site. If not, no problem.
"Now before you label this as a crazy post, Im not talking about, nor am I predicting some doomsday scenario. Dont expect me to be selling you seeds, food preserves or bomb shelters anytime soon. That is not what I am suggesting here.
Im also not suggesting that you need to buy yourself an AR15 to fight off an onslot of newly married gays. Okay? Okay. So please do more than glance at this headline, and allow me to make my case.
What I am suggesting is that this week, in two monumental rulings, the SCOTUS has showed us that they are no longer bound by, nor do they hold any respect for the United States Constitution. For guns, that matters.
The SCOTUS has now declared all healthcare, and marriage to be fundamental human rights. So much so, that it is now the job of the federal government to force them upon both you as an individual, and the state as law. Now, I dont see either of these things in the United States Constitution.
Crazy thing about the Constitution, is that it actually does outline our rights, pretty expressly. As a matter of fact, one could argue that its the purpose of the document. Enumerated and all that jazz. Healthcare and gay marriage isnt in there. You know what is? Your right to own a gun.
As a matter of fact, according to the Constitution, that is one of the very few rights in which the states are not reserved the right to regulate entirely as they see fit. In case you havent read it, let me paste it for you below.
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Pretty cut and dry. Yet unlike marriage, unlike subsidized health Insurance, SCOTUS has allowed states to, in fact INFRINGE! Hell, some states have made it pragmatically impossible to carry a weapon on your person. So clearly, when it comes to even using the Constitution as a guideline, the SCOTUS has jumped the shark.
Regardless of where you line up on same-sex marriage, or even if you personally want free healthcare, there is no arguing that the SCOTUS has displayed an unprecedented use of power when compared to the entirety of American history. Theres also no argument about the fact that the SCOTUS is leaning more and more to the left.
The left has been very, very clear on their ambitions to make guns harder and harder to access. For all citizens. Not just criminals. We know their playbook. Im not saying that your guns will be taken away tomorrow, but that is the end-game.
What is beyond any shadow of a doubt however, is that the SCOTUS has now been given the power, to infringe on your right to bear arms. They could come down with some ruling next June requiring guns to be limited to some arbitrary loading capacity, rendering all of your firearms illegal. Im not saying that they will, but for the first time in our adult lives, this is entirely within the realm of possibility.
We also have already witnessed the great ammo shortage of 2008-2013. Pragmatically speaking, the SCOTUS has myriad ways in which they could should they choose systematically disarm American citizens, but equally important is the way the market responds to SCOTUS decisions. The tides are turning on guns. Its a losing issue for Democrats, so they could never address it head-on. They could however, enforce what would seem to be a very marginal gun law, which could in turn force firearm companies to change their procedures (be it manufacturing, distribution etc.), causing a shortage, raising prices making it nigh impossible for you, the American citizen to purchase a firearm.
So if for any reason, youve ever wanted to buy a firearm but havent gotten around to it, I highly suggest that you do so soon. Because at the very least, we are in uncharted territory as Americans, and its better for you to have made your decision now, than to be on the outside, banging on the door to get in."
I see what you did there.
Remember he said Guns AND ammo. Pay close attention to the ammo part of that equation - in the scenario he’s talking about it’s the more important half of the equation. Three firearms is really all any person/couple needs. (especially if they are not “gun people” - I’ve heard those exist) A shotgun, a handgun and a rifle. That will handle any self defense/hunting situation. Practice regularly and keep all the ammo in stock (and set back in reserve) you can afford. You are set. Guns don’t run out...ammo does.
A little late to the party there Blogger.
Any other pearls of wisdom would you care to grant the unwashed masses?
And remember LOTTO !
Let Others Take Terrible Odds.....
Buy private party unregistered guns without the back ground check. It’s still legal in most states. All the calls for “universal” back ground checks just means universal registration. Also, buy some SCUBA gear and go look at the bottom of popular red state fishing holes. There are a lot of clumsy boaters. There is no doubt in my mind Obama would collect every single gun and, will in fact, try before his term is up. Democrats have long said they want gun confiscation, there is no reason to doubt them.
I would rephrase that. Didn't you already pass ownership on to your children? If the totalitarians pass a law forbidding transfers of firearms within the family without a background check, it would be nice to have a letter dated today or at the earliest age your kids were permitted to own (not purchase, which is often older) firearms. That letter could be passed on when you later transfer custody of their firearms.
I'm suggesting you buy yourself a dictionary and look up the word "onslaught." Your illiteracy damages your credibility.
Anticipating your good advice, I started following it about 50 years ago.
Thank you, Sir.

Quite right...and remember, that when it comes to your ammunition stock, first-in-first-out (FIFO) applies. Use your oldest ammunition up first and replenish it with NEW ammunition. Keep track of the “age” of each wave of ammunition you buy so you can correctly continue the FIFO process.
It’s as important to do this FIFO process for your ammunition as it is for your food supplies.
Do I just put all, or itemize in the letter? Then what, have it notarized?
Uh oh. Expect a visit from the authorities.
And a crossbow, for silent work.
You’re a little late to the party, FRiend.

He always has been. So is Roberts.
Frankly, I was surprised that he dissented from the unconstitutional legislating of marriage from the USSC.
I assume they have something pretty heavy on him and that made it all that much easier to twist the language and the law into knots to uphold the socialized medicine law.
I’m also thinking that the left knew they had the votes for the Destruction of Marriage ruling and that they let him dissent as part of the deal for him supporting the mandate that we all have health insurance or can be punished.
You might say that Kennedy is part of the swinger vote now.
Isn’t BLOAT part of the celebration of Ramadan? Use some food money for ammo and fast.....
What are you talking about? None of my guns are registered, and I don’t intend that they will ever be.
Roberts apparently really, really wanted to write that POC “opinion” regarding how the meaning of light becomes that of dark.
