I think it’s great. What a bunch of weenies we have in the USA now. If you want to get your BP up, read the comments from the Stockton folks. They’re scared to death of “untrained armed men” driving around. Like the Colonists/Revolutionaries weren’t.........we have sure come a long way from our founding. Dhimmies.....afraid to stand up to or for anything.

Here's the REAL problem.

"We are not at the point that we need to have armed militias patrolling Stockton," Vice Mayor Kathy Miller said.

Mayor Ann Johnston said, "Oh, no no no no, no no no. ... We don't want armed citizens out there who are not trained."

“because this is definitely not what our government, especially Zero, has in mind when mentioning the civilian defense force”

Maybe not, but that’s what they’re going to get :)

If implemented, this can only end in tears.

If not implemented, it ends in tears as well.

I see no good future here, until the rapture comes.

People are forming up all over the country. Best keep quiet until needed, lest you get the Weaver family treatment.

DieHard.......have you ever been to a California inland town? Stockton is getting pretty bad these days. I can certainly understand these peoples’ motivations. I just hope the “bravado” level doesn’t go nuclear.

My little mountain neighborhood is not as organized yet, but we’re all watching out for each other.

To quote David Byrne: “nobody makes a monkey outta me.”

It’s obviously not ALL chicks(we love you Sarah), but the overwhelming majority hate guns and the thought of wild-eyed vigilante maniacs driving around with them makes them crazy. The new sheriff in San Diego? is another example.

I'm sure these guys can figure out how to eat donuts and shoot family pets on their own.

This explained it all and confirmed my initial suspicion.

From what I hear getting a permit for concealed carry in MA depends completely on where you live. Some places, e.g., City of Boston, it is just about impossible to get concealed carry.

Legal? Illegal? When the Constitution is trashed by our own Government legal and illegal mean different things to different people. All power, political and otherwise comes out of the barrel of a gun. Sounds scary but if you give it some real deep thought, you will see it is the truth.

That’s why they want the immigration laws suspended so they can count the illegals.
