Who fought in New Orleans?
Who fought in California?
Who fought in New Jersey?
Who fought in New York
Who fought in Massachusetts?
Pointing out the truth isn’t cowardice. We need to stop gun control wherever it shows up, because they never stop.
Michael Steele that so many Republicans seem to love is fine with the Assault Weapons Ban, but draws the line at a ‘Total Ban’ on all firearms. They want to make him head of the RNC.
The frog is already boiling!
Has any one read Vince Flynn’s “Term limits”?
At which point, it’s time for Texas secession.
You’d surprised what a couple of protests and some people behind them will do. And most of the South’s authority will not try anything, simply because they will have to go to church with the people that they terrorized.
There will come a point where people who are police officers realize that arresting their friends and neighbors isn’t right. They will quit, and the gov’t will send the National Guard in, and they will quit, and the gov’t will just wonder what the heck is going on.
Then China/Russia will attack.
alas, the original is lost in the mists of time. Well hmm - the Wayback machine has an earlier version: Earlier Art of the Cache on FR
Especially take note of post 63...
Of course, Archive.org will take down almost anything when asked...bump to travis mcgee.
The Gun Grabbers could have all “Assault Weapons” declared NFA weapons.
That tops the list because outlawing private sales is the only way the government gun grabbers can keep track of who owns what. Every gun bought new or used from a licensed gun dealer or transferred from one person to another through a FFL dealer has a record of who transferred it and who received it, and also of every subsequent transfer that is made through a FFL (Federal Firearms Licensee).
If all private transfers, sales, gifts, etc, are forced to go through a FFL, the transfer will be recorded in the FFL's permanent "bound book" along with the names and addresses of the two parties involved. Those records are subject to inspection by BATF agents, so eventually the owner of every firearm in the US that has been transferred from a dealer to customer or from one person to another will be recorded by serial #, manufacturer, description, and the name and address of transfer-er and transferee and the government will have access to that information. If that process becomes federal law with violators subject to the same severe penalties that are now mandatory for most other federal firearms law violations (mandatory 10 years with no parole) it will mark the beginning of the end for private ownership of firearms in the US.
The choice is to die on your feet, or live on your knees. Everyone dies of something. God knows the retirement dream is out, what with the 401K and IRAs tanking. Anyway, I don’t remember where I heard it but this is one of my favorite quotes, “The day it becomes necessary to bury your guns, is the day you should dig them up! I wont be burying my guns.
Google up: “Racist Origins of Gun Control”. Also the “Camilla Massacre”. History:
1/ After the Civil War, gun laws were first used to disarm free blacks in the South. Gun toting whites were ignored by police (except for, of course, “poor white trash”).
2/ In 1906, the Atlanta Journal and Atlanta Constitution whipped up white frenzy in order to sell more newspapers; this resulted in a mob attack on the local black community.
3/ New York’s Sullivan Act was used to forcibly disarm Italians and Eastern Europeans [read Jews].
4/ Despite all the big talk, well most gun owners in America, given the right tragedy, would scurry down to the local P.D. and turn in their guns - look at the Aussies.
Beware!
The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress. Frederick Douglass
I agree with the sentiment. I just think that realistically counter-insurgencies don’t work that way.
Some of the first ones to rebel will be criminals, and other unsavoury types as they are in the habit of doing so and have little to lose. Later others join as things get worse and compromise with the government becomes increasingly difficult. They need food, ammo, safe houses, places for the wounded, couriers, storage sites, road watchers, etc. Going out in a blaze of glory is cool, but it may not serve much point if they simply level your house with 25mm cannon fire from a Bradley.
Hiding your firearms may be the only way to keep them if the insurgents are two states away, or getting to them means going through roadblocks. Down time from service with an insurgent group is also a consideration as most insurgencies are carried on by part-timers. This was the case in the Revolutionary war, as well as most modern insurgencies.
That’s why me and a couple good ole’ boys are working on a Diesel powered rifle. A spring loaded piston provides compression to ignite diesel fuel that propels a 12guage slug down the barrel. The explosion also re-cocks the piston (Semi-automatic). We wont be “Tagging” the projectiles.
Spent most of my time with the carry pistol: self defense at a minimum force level, after all...
But I’ll be working the AR in detail: I know I can’t win,
but, if you take just one with you somebody else has a chance.
Not good, but about the best I can do: sorry ‘bout that!
The 2nd amendment is the trip-wire that tells us when it’s necessary to take back our government.
Pretty clear deprivation of '...life, liberty, or property without due process of law.', something Constitutionally prohibited.
But then, the whole pile of infringements on the Second Amendment is Constitutionally prohibited, too.
It isn't the country I am fed up with, FRiend, it is those who are actively working to destroy it.
Blatant disregard for the very foundations of our Republic (the Constitution and the Bill of Rights), from just urinating on them to chiseling away at them, will eventually bring this Republic down, and I reserve my contempt for those who are doing the damage, wherever, whomever they are.
Same old same old from the Brady bunch; what’s new, alas, is that the Democrats now hold the White House and both houses of congress. Stormy weather ahead for the Second Amendment...
They will lose their jobs, and their benefits, and their pensions; they will lose their cars, their homes, their kid's college educations, their investments, their credit ratings, their American dream. In the Natl Guard they will lose a lot more, if they up and quit, disobeying a legitimate order. And it will be adjudged legitimate.
You must know a lot of heroes. Good for you.

Not surprising that the “professional” editorialists didn’t like it, but a number of Amazon readers reviews were quite positive.
Haven’t read any of Vince’s stuff, but Ross’ Unintended Consequences, Vin’s Black Arrow, Braken’s Enemies: F&D, Boston’s Molon Labe, etc... Excellent book all of varying styles.

That is an excellent axiomatic quote. It is one of those foundational concepts concerning the harsh nature of reality that the left and their useful idiot acolytes try to either hide or outright lie about.
