If They Come for Your Guns, Do You Have a Responsibility to Fight?

The D.C. Clothesline ^ | 1/3/2013 | Dean Garrison

Obama sees most of America like South Side Chicago....lawless in many ways. Obama NEVER saw nor was taught about this country other than to distrust it. Our United States Constitution is a thorn in his side, as it is to far too many politicians...but to Obama it is also a nuisance - he doesn’t agree with its dictates for the most part. Obama will disarm America if you-the-people don’t stop him and other gun grabbers. Let your elected know where they stand if they don’t protect our Second Amendment.

We like the Navy - anytime we needed to fight, you guys gave us a ride!

Correct... I was part of the the ‘last hurrah’ of the up close close Gator Navy, first ship was an APA that basically had to anchor ‘line of site’ to beach and one of my first GQ’s stations was on LCVP crew, then went to an LST, also had the LCVPs BUT were capable of ‘crashing onto the beach’.

Actually way way back in ‘56 I was gung ho to join ‘The Corps’, went to school on my 17th birthday, quit in my Sr Yr, went down to the local LA USMC recruiting office (which was a shared facility) presented my young skinny body to ‘The Corps’ and the Gunny was out of the office.
This friendly Navy Chief gave me a cup of coffee, BS’d me for a couple of minutes and said “Same test, come on in and we will see how you will do”. 1 month and 1 day later I and a few other lads with ‘anchors in their eyes’ assembled at the LA Coliseum on Armistice Day to be sworn in at half time of the LA Rams/SF 49’er NFL game. So, with official entrance day,— witnessed by 100,000 +-(?) screaming fans — I officially enlisted in the USN on 10NOV56, which, in case you need reminding (<: <:) is USMC Birthday.

Semper Fi!! Lets run down to the Tun Tavern to hoist a tankard or two or three....etc...

You try making an AR15 barrel in your garage ... while your opponents buy complete M4s by the truckload.

“The biker gangs, of all “suspicious” groups, have had the most experience and know-how at resisting infiltration. It takes work, but it can be done.”

I agree and there are many biker patriots I am sure. They want us to cower in fear, and I think it we would not lose anything by forming some networks locally.
We could exchange contact information; possibly at a public event.

If we ever go to war, I would hire the bikers to guard the ports, like the Mafia did during WWII.

[going hot]

That truckload. What kind of truck?

[satan]

I would suggest alert rosters be developed. They don’t have to be all inclusive but will simply grow on their own. Also suggest places like www/cbpatriot.com be visited as cell phones can be jammed.

I believe the banks/government tried to buy farms during the depression but enough patriots showed up to stop the bidding.

Thousands of us learned well from the Viet Cong.

Don’t you agree with us, Mr. Butler?

RHETT BUTLER: I think it’s hard winning a war with words, gentlemen.

CHARLES: What do you mean, sir?

RHETT: I mean, Mr. Hamilton, there’s not a cannon factory in the whole South.

MAN: What difference does that make, sir, to a gentleman?

RHETT: I’m afraid it’s going to make a great deal of difference to a great many gentlemen, sir.

CHARLES: Are you hinting, Mr. Butler, that the Yankees can lick us?

RHETT: No, I’m not hinting. I’m saying very plainly that the Yankees are better equipped than we. They’ve got factories, shipyards, coalmines... and a fleet to bottle up our harbors and starve us to death. All we’ve got is cotton, and slaves and ...arrogance.

MAN: That’s treacherous!

CHARLES: I refuse to listen to any renegade talk!

RHETT: Well, I’m sorry if the truth offends you.

CHARLES: Apologies aren’t enough sir. I hear you were turned out of West Point, Mr. Rhett Butler. And that you aren’t received in an decent family in Charleston. Not even your own.

RHETT: I apologize again for all my shortcomings. Mr. Wilkes, Perhaps you won’t mind if I walk about and look over your place. I seem to be spoiling everybody’s brandy and cigars and...dreams of victory.

Snarky Bob, Sam Adams said it better than I ever could:

"If ye love wealth better than liberty,
the tranquility of servitude
better than the animating contest of freedom,
go home from us in peace.
We ask not your counsels or your arms.
Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.
May your chains set lightly upon you,
and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen."

You must also realize that the most dangerous man in the world is a man who is prepared to die for his cause, and has taken the time to make that reality as difficult as possible for his enemy. A prepared man with a plan is a dangerous animal, perhaps the most dangerous animal on the planet.

You obviously don't share the depth of conviction that many do, in regards to this issue, and it would appear your comment is designed to inflame opinion, as opposed to offering anything constructive. Some would call you a troll. You can spout armchair commandos all you want, but there are many for whom this play to limit the second amendment is that proverbial "bridge too far" or the final straw.

The AWB that happened in the 90s didn’t cause a revolution and shooting at Redcoats from behind trees.

It’s not intended to be flamebait, merely pointing out that the scenarios that keep getting repeated over and over and over all have a common underlying theme. Namely that this is the very last straw, not be confused with all the other last staws. This is the final line in the sand. This is the issue that causes revolution, and that the revolutionaries will win.
They’ll win because the authorities won’t move against fellow citizens, that an enraged populace can’t be stopped yadda yadda yadda.
As a group we’ve been unable to get control of a political party and get an acceptable candidate through a primary. But somehow we’ll revolt against the govt and win? We couldn’t even retake the Senate.

My Grandma used to refer to blustery chest thumping as selling yourself “wolf tickets” IMHO that’s what all the revolution talk is. I’m sure there are people who would really take action, but most people won’t.

Ron, I agree, they have all the cool toys. But I always bet on the under dog. If you win, you win big. If you lose at least you tried. If you don’t register your toys and they come for them they are violating their own rules to delete checks within a few days. In my case I sold all of my toys at a gun show! What they are really after is to stop a private citizen from selling a gun to another private citizen without a background check. “Come and take them”!
