We are done waiting for somebody to do something. FReeper Display of Arms and Bearers is sending fascists of all kind a message: We are armed. We are training. We will defend each other. Commit to visit your firing range once a month, take pictures and videos and post results here starting now and on the first of each month. To receive a monthly reminder, ask to be added to the list. Use this thread to network and coordinate target practice with other FReepers. Selfies are good. Larger group photos are better and send a stronger message. If you can not upload pictures and videos, email them to FReeper Display of Arms and Bearers @ ConservativeImage.com (no spaces) and I will host them for you.
Rules of this thread:
- This is not a jokes board. You will not be censored, but please be aware there is a world wide perception that American gun owners are all drunk and reckless. Disprove this stereotype by contributing to this monthly thread with all seriousness and sobriety. Do not horseplay with guns.
- Do not publish personal information such as email addresses, phone numbers, license plates, home addresses, etc. Use private email to arrange meetings with other members. Posting first name and general location is acceptable.
- One month recent photo only. Please try to date stamp for the record.
- If you want to keep your identity or specific weapon make unknown, then only photograph your target results noting distance and general weapon type - rifle, handgun, bow and arrow, sling shot, etc.
- A deadly weapon may only be used to prevent the loss of life, property or for the purposes of target practice or hunting. The blandishment of a firearm is neither a determent or a valid threat.
Arm yourselves. The hopes and changes are coming.
‘’So what are you doing online that you’re afraid of getting in trouble for?’’
Nothing. Just sharing info. (However, if I were to end a sentence with a preposition I could get in trouble with my English teacher.) I don’t CARE if people share target practice results, but people should know that if they do share info the Powers That Be can identify them. Under the current regime/dictatorship it could be a problem.
And thank you so much for calling me a madman, but I’m hardly in Capt. Ahab’s league.
We're hiding?
Why is your 'about page' blank?
It's a Concealed weapon, I even did the paperwork to haul it around. Did you miss something there?
If those who attack me have something nicer than what I have, well, I'll have what they do. If not, I'll keep mine, thanks. I didn't buy what I have to show it off.
Our enemies are in the open, as much as they dare.
We Americans have a long heritage of shooting from behind trees, rocks, and other such things when the need arises.
Until then, we're just sweet little lambs with sharp teeth.
I don’t believe the time is now right, if ever, to openly declare ourselves as rebels. Our corrupt government would, in my humble opinion, move against us at the federal, the state and possibly the local levels.
Short of a nebulous tipping point — where “protest” becomes “groundswell” — then the modern Redcoats could move to silence us. One or two would be “lone gunmen” and hassled mercilessly. (Permits yanked, intense enforcement of every minor rule and regulation, adverse publicity, etc.) Six or more would be a “militia” and the headlines would be bigger and uglier, with the words “insurrection” and “rebellion” thrown around.
On the other hand, maybe your idea would be beneficial. Maybe more closet patriots would wake up and speak out. Maybe the Redcoats would realize that we are frighteningly serious and that they had better listen. We can’t foresee the dynamics involved.
My point is that the nail that sticks up is the one that gets hammered down. I’m not sure I’m ready for that.
Interesting choice of words.
How about this:
It isn't anyone's business what I do or don't have. If the assumption I have more than I do keeps miscreants of all stripes at bay, great. OTOH, why entice those who might decide to take my stuff (over my dead body, of course)? What gain is there in that?
Let me teach you something, if you will listen to a lesson every child, grandchild, and even some of my great-grandchildren have mastered:
Q: How many people does it take to keep a secret?
A: One.
If you don't understand that there are things in life that need not be broadcast, YOU are the one who doesn't get it.
Nice recoil...
What happened in Paris is awful. The good news is all of this is that God is on his thrown and all is right in Heaven.
And the United States for all of her faults is still the best nation on the Earth now or in all of human history. Do we see the gradual progression towards anarchy, authoritarian rule and lost Liberty? Absolutely. But I am not ready to throw in the towel yet. Because to throw in the towel means that all hope is lost some really bad things will happen. Just saying...
Here you go:
Mmm hmm. I’d like to see you in my office after class.
“Just google your freeper name.”
I just get pictures of cotton balls and amazon links to buy some ;)
If we’re that worried, we shouldn’t be posting online at all other than to say how wonderful Marx is.
I’m sure Big Brother can tie what websites we’re on with gun registrations, tea party affiliations, voter registration, etc.
The IRS targeted conservative groups and they never even posted here.
ie, we’re targeted anyway
Now we’re talking... More Mockery!!
