I’ve seen a lot of bravado here about patriots being armed, lock and load, boating accidents, try and take my guns, etc. Waco Texas, Ruby ridge, Twin Peaks, Bundy standoff have been trial runs, especially Twin Peaks motorcycle guys slaughter where the govt and local law enforcement took on a group of tough armed patriots and showed how easily they can be taken down. The govt, DHS, FBI, have made a point of demonizing “Home grown terrorists” Which are the “Bravado” guys bragging about having 1000 rounds of ammunition. Now the police are getting into the act. I have seen my local sheriff’s dept rappaling out of black helicopters...we are so screwed.
The real problem comes with the police are Federalized.
As long as they are under local control, I am not necessarily concerned.
“I have seen my local sheriff’s dept rappaling out of black helicopters...we are so screwed.”
And...?
We elected a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff in my county. He has an ongoing training program for all his deputies. He also can field an armed auxiliary deputy detachment for “emergencies,” made of local citizens. That includes combat veterans.
The department also owns a military landing craft to aid residents living on an island in the county should an emergency arise.
The sheriff has run two police chiefs out the county who were abusing their police powers. He’s also sent to state prison at least a dozen rat bureaucrats for embezzlement and other crimes.
If you want to control city police, you need an elected constitutional sheriff. If you don’t have a constitutional sheriff, I strongly suggest that you and your buddies get off your fat butts and elect one.
