First piece of advice I give is get the best traditional mags, not the gimmicky ones.

Keep them clean and lubed if needed.

The American people hopefully have enough intuition left to figure that it is the government which loves to promote violence and then hypocritically calls to calm down under its own terms and auspicies.

Nation of Islam is doing the same thing in Chicago. They promote hate and violence and corruption on the one hand, and then they come door to door urging folkes not to beat each other up and to join the homosexual muslim brotherhoods of Obama for a unified violent action.

Cissors and One clenched fist strategies. THese people have long declared war on us and we still act like the rape is not going to occure.

Great article, and I, too, am proud to see Americans standing up and taking responsibility for their safety. I think the idea of gun control has grown into such a losing proposition that even the mention of it by the media results in a steep drop in ratings within a minute of the mention. To boot, even politicians, outside of the regular cabal of anti-gunners, are realizing that talk of banning guns or ammunition means a loss of respect and likely votes at the ballot box.

I’m proud to be an American in a country where a single madman can go on a rampage killing a dozen people and the next day gun stores have lines outside before they even open.

This is the quintessential American experience.

And kudos to the author for mentioning the Powder Alarm. The Feds would be remiss to try something like that lest they be pushed back by a very well-armed populace.

--Here’s a little known fact: As a percentage of the population, more men volunteered to serve in the Union army from Colorado than any other state or territory of the United States. Nearly 4,000 volunteers out of a population of about 50,000 men and women took up on arms on behalf of the Union. These were ordinary citizens who put down their mining pans, picks and shovels, pushed their commercial interests to the background and became the government in the same sense that the citizens at Lexington and Concord did. --

--there could be considerable debate as to whether the War of Northern Agression was in any way similar to the American Revolution---

“Gun sales are up because a tragic event such as the theater murders reminds people that they need to be prepared to defend themselves from the predators in our society,” says Dave Gill, vice president of the Colorado State Shooting Association.

I wouldn't want to argue with an expert, but I'm not sure that's the whole reason gun sales spike after these things happen. I think it's a lot of reasonably intelligent people anticipating a new government action to clamp down on their ability to buy guns and ammo in the near future. Better get 'em while you still can.

That's why Obama is considered the greatest gun salesman in the world today.

It is much easier for the government to prevent you from getting a gun, than it is for them to take it away once you have it.

Prepare now, for yourself and your kids, too.

You know, we use the word “predator” a bit too liberally these days. More often than not most of the the “wolves” we are faced with anymore aren’t predators at all, they’re scavengers. They won’t mess with anything that’ll fight back. There are some true predatory animals out there, and they truly hunt, but for the most part I think that most of these idiots are looking for the path of least resistance. They don’t want to get dirty. “We’ll rob the old lady”, “Let’s abduct a kid”. A defensless target is an easy target, right? The solution for that is simple, refuse to be food. For the other, the true predator, the solution isn’t so simple. They are hunters. They stalk, they lay in wait. They kill. Those are the ones that will let you know that you’ve got a fight on your hands. Not fighting to get away, but fighting to get to you. All the posturing in the world won’t change their mind. You have to understand going into it that there will only be one left standing. Who will it be? You, or them? Maybe it is as simple as it seems...Victory, or nothing.
