If I had the money (I’m on a paltry fixed income) I would have a sidearm and a CCW in a heartbeat. For now, all I can do is drool.

Unfortunately, I’m a “senior female” and therefore, a potential target in Las Vegas Valley.

Lately, a lot of crimes are committed against the elderly, because they look so weak and helpless, and in most cases, are.

I’ve never liked being a victim, though I have been at different times in my life. This time, I don’t want to “accept victimhood:” I want to prevent the punks from assaulting seniors... </ rant

“A people unwilling to use extreme violent force to preserve or obtain their liberty deserves the tyrants that rule them.” T. Jefferson

So true, so very true.

[SunkenCiv]

Yeah!

[Doomonyou]

Check.

Not until you see the whites of their eyes.

Now, see dat. Das what I'm talkin' 'bout. Dat right there! Dat's racist! /s

Thanks VOR Lady... THAT was a long read with “BIG” words, and NO pictures ;)... I received some very disturbing info today... Apparently, Arizona and several other states are suddenly “revising” their “bio-terrorism / pandemic” health code laws in a way that SCREAMS “police state.” I am scared to death by the things I am reading... I am uncertain of whether to post it here on FR.

[XenaLee]

Go ahead and post the link. The leftists are just planning ahead re: how to scare ‘we, the people’, into supporting Obamacare. They really DO think we’re that stupid. And nothing screams anti-police state like an AR-15. Unless it’s several thousand. An armed citizenry = a polite government. Or it better.

Hold onto your undershorts... The revised sections are highlighted in yellow... they were revised September 21 or 22 of 2009.

Thank you. Now I’ll have something to read during my latest bout of insomnia.

Ok, here's the thing. I don't put ANYthing past this present administration...which, as we know now, is made up of communists, radicals, anarchists and extremists. Knowing the radical and extremist bent of Zero and his associates, coupled with their unbridled lust for power, I figure our days are numbered anyway.

I figure the next attack on US soil will be something in the nature of bio-terrorism and possibly chemical, as well. Hell, it could even be a triple-play with dirty nukes thrown in. All designed to give ultimate and complete power to Zero and his handlers (Soros, Saudis, etc.) and to eliminate the threat of We, The People, an armed populace. Normally that 'armed' part would be a problem, but if we are thrown into a situation wherein we are too busy just trying to survive (or already dead), or are captured like military spys and locked up in "quarantine" areas, we will in effect be neutralized before we even know what hit us (ergo my fear of us waiting too damned long to ACT).

This is what I am seeing and this is what I am feeling and fearing. Don't hate me cause I'm paranoid. It doesn't mean they are NOT out to get me/us.

"1. "BIOTERRORISM" MEANS THE INTENTIONAL USE OF ANY MICROORGANISM, VIRUS, INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCE OR BIOLOGICAL PRODUCT THAT MAY BE ENGINEERED AS A 21 RESULT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY OR ANY NATURALLY OCCURRING OR BIOENGINEERED COMPONENT 22 OF ANY MICROORGANISM, VIRUS, INFECTIOUS SUBSTANCE OR BIOLOGICAL PRODUCT, TO 23 CAUSE OR ATTEMPT TO CAUSE DEATH, DISEASE OR OTHER BIOLOGICAL MALFUNCTION IN 24 HUMANS. 25

[HKMk23]

Soon after I had written this I was asked "What is the 'trigger' to this call to arms?"

I shan't presume that I speak for anyone, but submit to you that THIS is approaches that absolute limit; that, if Congress and this Administration now fail to "hear" the People, and do continue such abuse of Federal power as herein described, we must consider that they have chosen the next -- but not final -- escalation toward armed conflict.

We, the People, MUST assert our power over government in such a way that neither Congress nor the Administration can turn a deaf ear, or a blind eye, and we MUST figure out how to do it without firing a shot; we must overwhelmingly assert our Constitutional Mastery over the Federal powers.

No, the time to take up arms is NOT at hand, yet, but I would not put it beyond this reprehensible Administration to eventually force the issue. We must BY ALL PEACEABLE MEANS, push them to the utmost limit; they will either concede or turn violent, and We, the People, in order to remain in the right, must force them to be first to transgress that moral barrier. Only in this way may we be assured that every non-violent option save abject servility had been thoroughly exhausted.

Stand fast, Patriots.

Don’t Fire Until You See the Whites of Their Eyes.

;-)

Some sources credit Gen. Israel Putnam of Connecticut, some Col. William Prescott of Massachusetts.

It’s also reported to have been said this way....

Don’t throw away a single shot, my brave fellows; . . . don’t throw away a single shot, but take good aim; nor touch a trigger, till you can see the whites of their eyes.

[Dead Corpse]

We've been doing "peaceable".

How's that been working for us?

Projected growth of government vs gdp

Yeah... We're in deep doo-doo.
