“...and POLITELY express your opposition to new gun restrictions....”
I DON’T HAVE TO BE POLITE to people who come to my house with a “Comply or Die” mentality and that will murder me and my family in a heartbeat for refusing while hiding behind their badges and “just following orders”; my ancestors SHOT DEAD people who were “just following orders”, and then watched others who were “just following orders” swing from ropes at Nuremberg.
I DON’T HAVE TO BE POLITE to people who want me disarmed, neutered, and dead.
I DON’T HAVE TO BE POLITE to people who want to strip me of my most basic Constitutional, civil, and HUMAN RIGHT and leave you at the mercy of thugs with baggy pants or thugs with badges.
I DON’T HAVE TO BE POLITE with people who by their actions openly threaten me and my family, expose my family to potential murder and assault, and expect me to roll over and do NOTHING about it.
That clear enough? You REALLY think those pieces of garbage in DC care about your polite paper opposition?
If they did, this wouldn’t even be an issue.
They’re prepared and determined to use COERCIVE LETHAL FORCE against you, your children, your home, and your f***ing GOLDFISH to accomplish their agenda.
Last time I checked, polite discourse was NOT how you win a war. See “Second World War, Victory over German Socialism and Japanese Imperialism”.
We’re not dealing with politics as usual here. We’re dealing with a coup that has taken place at multiple levels, and people in authority capacities at local, county, state, and fed levels that have ZERO regard for your rights, for your property, and for your life and your family’s lives.
All of that negates “polite”. Reality is what it is. As far as firing on a local police officer, everyone makes that decision for themselves. No one can tell what you should or shouldn’t do.
I’ll bet an awful lot of German Jews wished they’d fired on the “local cop” when he showed up at their front door with a Gestapo, SS, or SD agent at his side, Verstehst du, yah? “Gibt es keine Juden hier versteckt? Kommen Sie mit uns, JETZT.”
If gun owners are to be the new “Juden ratten”, it’d be best for local cops to stay home with Blue Flu when that order is given. Better yet, it would best for them to actively OPPOSE that order and side with the local Citizenry who have done NOTHING WRONG other than exercise their right to keep and bear arms. They’ll be welcomed as brothers in arms and in spirit in that case.
But as i said...reality is what it is. People will make decisions, and either good or really, really bad will come from those decisions.
Jeez, throttle back, Hale! I’m on your side!
I thought I made it clear I was suggesting one be polite when calling your local politician. Swearing, screaming or launching into a rant (like the one you just dumped on me) and you’ll hear a loud click on your phone. We have a message that needs to get out and you can’t deliver it when the other side hangs up.
I’m hoping that majority opposition will convince the crooks who “represent” us that it would be unwise to do anything truly over-the-top drastic, like forced gun buy-backs or outright confiscation. Any gains they make now, even small ones like limiting the capacity of magazines, will be twice as hard to remove once those laws are on the books.
But I agree that this war has already started. We’re just angling for better field position before things turn desperate, is all.
