The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
This is completely off topic, but is looking at the photo, it occurred to me that a 0.50 round through the face plate of the tactical shield would kill/maim all four of the domestic combatants. Not very good tactical planning IMHO.
Bump
Well done.
There’s another ARmy in the the US. And it's the largest ARmy in the world - it's numbers are in the millions...

and these numbers are from two years ago - add to them all the non-hunters that have guns - and the whole new layer of women shooters - There's probably as many non-hunters now with guns as there are registered hunters.
And then there's the tens of thousands of returned, trained vets - Oath Takers.
So ‘bummer's got his ‘army’?
The ONLY thing ‘bummer's been good for is the sale of guns.
This is part of a 200-man army sent against a man they claim owes back fees -
WHAT COUNTRY IS THIS??????
your lips to god’s ear...
Line ‘em up!
The phrase "The clothes make the man." is very appropriate here. When they change the uniform and the weapons of the police officer, and the tactics they train with, they change the man. As the famous Stanford Prison Experiment showed, people can suspend their normal moral framework and adopt a completely immoral framework by being asked to fill a role where that behavior is deemed appropriate. These "officers" are dressed and being trained like they are doing patrols in occupied Baghdad. Consequently, they start to see everyone as an "insurgent."
On the other hand, the citizens who are witnessing this police transformation are adopting a mirror image phychology. They see themselves as being occupied by an invader. It really isn't that surprising that the cowboys developed the attitude that this was a life or death struggle. And it is not the fault of the cowboys that it escalated this much. It was caused by the police, their uniforms, their training, and their attitude.
We need to push back on this new police force, or they will start the civil insurgency they would claim they are trying to stop.
The growth of militarized bureaucracies is a clear violation of the spirit of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1897 which makes it illegal to use the armed forces against US citizens.
If not in legal actuality, at least in spirit.
Was the Post Office, the IRS, All of the Interior Depts, and other bureaucracies ALWAYS ARMED TO THE TEETH??????
Those guys all combat-vogueing must be thinking they're like the Marines at Iwo Jima. Far, far from it.
My local town policeman showed up about 20 minutes after I’d accidentally set off my home alarm.
He was a young man, just like the hundreds I see here in my county (yes sir, no sir to older men), nothing like a Rambo or a Mohawk buzz cut soopertrooper you see in other places.
He had a plain old S&W 38 Special revolver in his holster, and he apologized for being so late - he was out on another call on the other side of town.
Thanked him, we talked a bit, shook hands and he left.
It’s a modified paintball gun filled with pepper balls.
Exact one is here.

His new “brown shirt army” is now in place and THAT is another of odumbo’s “accomplishement”. The second accomplishment is that he has and continues to downsize our “regular” military so the balance of power will be on his brown shirt’s side. Amazing how he has gotten away with that and even more amazing is the he is till at the helm and not six feet under.
“His new “brown shirt army” is now in place and THAT is another of odumbo’s “accomplishement”.”
You might want to thank Bush as well.
no joke. are these guys mercenaries straight off the boat from Kandahar or have they just watched too many movies? I mean, seriously. This is muy muy malo juju
That's how the sheriff deputies are here except that it's about 45 minutes before we see one of them if we need one. I wonder what side they will be on when it really hits the fan with the Feds? We are expected to take care of our own problems in whatever way we must way out here in the hills of TN and the Feds are going to be really surprised at how much of America is armed and ready, I think.
