If the government is going to continue to deprive us of our own weapons for self defense, what are they going to do to protect us against direct armed attacks?

For all intents and purposes, nothing.

If they were going to do anything, they would have already started work on closing the borders. Has that happened? You know the answer to that one.

Don't you know it is easier,cheaper, and safer to "counsel" the victims families than risk an armed citizenry that could lead to rebellion against the unConstitutional laws promoted by several generations of socialists ?

You can't make an omelet without breaking eggs, and the glorious socialist omelet of utopia has only needed a 100 million lives so far;BUT it will be worth it in the end! Hurrrlll, barrrff!!

"Police pulled over white vans Friday and plastered orange stickers on the back to show the vehicles had been checked."

Ok... why did police tell the media this? ... If I were a terrorist causing "terror"... I would just steal another white van with the sticker on the back... or I'd fashion up a fraud myself...ARRGGG! Sometimes I wish I was in charge... but then again... maybe not.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. What will happen when we have car bombings in malls? What will the reaction be to the first school that is bombed? I dare say the sheeple will be running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Already I saw there are parents who are not sending their kids to school. If we have more incompetent law officers like Chief Moose the terrorists will have it made. The only thing that will stop the terrorists and complete and utter chaos will be the armed citizen. You all keep your powder dry, I have a deep feeling we will need it.

I've carried a Remington 870 sawed-off with 6-round tube and a pistol grip for the past couple of years.
But I'm adding my .303 carbine with FMJ rounds for the longer range *Homeland Defense* targets.

Will this spread outside of DC? My first impression is that whoever is doing this wants to hit the nation's capitol. It also just happens that the capitol is in one of the largest areas of gun grabbers. Ever notice how you never hear of random shootings happening in places like Fargo, Billings, Sheridan, Boise or Reno? Only in the areas where the citizens have been disarmed do the BG's feel they can get by with it.

You're exactly right. If it does spread to other areas, expect it to be in big cities with restrictive gun laws (virtually all of them).

The sniper(s) knows that his odds of survivability is very low where the citizens are likely armed. Sadly, the gun grabbers will NEVER figure out what the connection is.

Will this spread outside of DC?

That is the real question and the answer depends upon who is actually committing these acts. IF these acts are by Isamo-facists then one may presume that there will be incidents in other states and areas. They may not be immediate and in fact a delay may provide greater impact to the subsequent acts, We think we are safe then bang.

Clearly for very little investment the perps of these shootings have generated a substantial return in terror. This is very similar to aome early actions in Israel. Some so called experts have dismissed this as not terrorist because there is no targeting of political figures but in the context of Isreal's history it does conform to the mold of terrorism.

Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown

I've been told that what you read, may put you in prison one day, even if it is legal...

Oh no! Does that mean I must burn my copy of "Unintended Consequences?"

Best regards,
