One of the militia groups who joined the effort to “protect” the Bundy family and their ranch from the armed Bureau of Land Management (BLM) rangers admitted they are prepared to use deadly force in self-defense in Nevada or Texas. Several militia groups have joined ranks to provide “protection” to keep the BLM from taking property from the Bundy Ranch, most of which operates on federally owned land.
Scott Shaw, co-founder of the Oklahoma Volunteer Militia says he is just an average American who goes to work every day and pays his taxes. He described his militia members as “every-day citizens ...We just have a strong conviction for freedom and liberty and upholding the Constitution. We are just here in case our court system fails us and we have to stand up to the federal government.”
In talking about the armed force of BLM rangers, Shaw described it as questionable. “If you’re there to get your money back that [Cliven Bundy] allegedly owes you, there are several ways you can do that in a court of law. You can put a lien on his property; you can put a lien on his cattle. If it truly was about getting back the back fees, why did [the BLM] take the cattle, or round the cattle up, which are the asset you’re going to sell--why would you kill several of those?” Recent reports revealed several cattle that were killed allegedly by the BLM during the standoff earlier this month.
Shaw affirmed that his militia members who deployed to Nevada were armed with a variety of military style weapons including AR-15s, AK-47s and others. They also include precision shooting firearms like deer hunting rifles and other military surplus items...

Even if you’ve got ... ahem ... “destructive devices”, once they come for you with tanks, you’ve got two choices - surrender or be martyred.
Or perhaps you’ll be martyred even if you surrender.
Firetrucks responding to the scene but instead are filled with kerosene or avgas mixed with some binders like styrofoam.
About the only real way to trap a tank is with an air pit, you dig trenches and place air piping in the bottom and then fill with loose non compacted soil, when tank crosses you aerate the soil, requires an extremely large air system but what happens is the tank will drop through the aerated soil which then settles burying tank, it cannot get out of pit.
These pits are designed to stop advancing vehicles in controlled security zones.
Only other thing to stop the tanks is to stop the operators from getting TO the tanks.
I wasn’t talking about...ahem, destructive devices. That would be illegal.
What I was refering to was fortifications such as pilings, trenches...that sort of thing.
One of my ‘06 rifles shoots best with a load that’s the ballistic equivalent of Federal Match 300 Win Mag ammo.
Kicks like hell, even though it’s a 10-lb rifle.
Need to load-up a few rounds with black-tip bullets.
If they’ve got tanks, they’ll also have bulldozers and front-end loaders.
If we were ever to find ourselves in a situation that warranted such measures...I pick you for my team!
>>If they’ve got tanks, they’ll also have bulldozers and front-end loaders<<
And your absolutely right. Better strength those cabs though. Just brain stormin.
“Those wishing to ban assault weapons fail to understand the original intent of the Second Amendment.”
...and will have to learn the lesson all over again. Unfortunately, the rest of the class will have to sit through the re-take as well.
Guess there’s only so much one can say in 140 characters.
It puts usage limits. None of which account for owning 85% of a State.
‘...But the Natives were docile naturalists, you see. Not warlike at all. /s...
‘
Louisiana coonasses will tie you sitting down naked to a post near several large fire ant nests and then pour honey all over ya. Then, boil a few craw fish, have a few beer while sitting back watching the new ant “entertainment”. Now, THAT is a bunch of docile naturalists!!!!
I met my first coonass about two years ago out in Arizona. I had never heard that term before then. You guys are a riot.
Am I still repeating facts, yes I am.
“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passion, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” John Adams
Eric Holder was an Assistant AG under Reno, and he also wanted a direct confrontation with Koresh.
I remember that story about the handgun very well but I’ve always preferred being armed to the teeth plus a little. “If you find yourself in a fair fight it’s a result of poor mission planning.”-—words to live by.
Ol’John was right only so far as the “executive power” is not corrupt. In this case it is the executive power that is disolving the gummint.
You didn’t ask me but I have them all-—shoot them all-—and my favorite is the one that’s in my hand-—loaded. The key is to buy quality and calibers in what I call “drugstore” meaning they are available anyplace that sells ammo.
Start with 45,000 psi minimum chamber pressure, 1800 ft-lbs minimum muzzle energy, and ammo available in full metal jacket-——lots of choices-—do your homework.
ballistic head gear just means that the hat flies as far as the head when hit by 1800 ft-lbs or more.
Wow, excellent site Phil! I never saw that one before but the pictures and diagrams are really outstanding!
