ARM THE PEOPLE - NOW!
Give me Liberty or Give me Death Web Site ^ | October 22, 2002 | Jeff Head

Arm the people. That is the answer, not only for the current environment, but for crime in general. The founders of this great Republic knew this, and they enumerated it in clear language in our constitution.

Use surplus M-14's or M-1's for long guns and .45's or 9mm's for sidearms and issue comm gear to all particpants Have the local sheriff's review those who volunteer and insure they are U.S. Citizens, have no violent criminal background, and are males between the ages of 18 and 50.

Deputize them.

Give them a three to five day crash course in rifle shooting and communications put on by volunteer former NCO's. Marine or Special Forces. Make update teraining mandatory every six months.

Have the Sheriff set up sentries (two to a location), perimeter patrols close to suspected targets (inner and outer ring) and close to local infrastructure to be protected from terrorists and also set up roving patrols in the community.

Have the comm procedure be to the local Sheriff who works with local FLEO's, from there to the National Guard at the state level for the Sheriff and to regional command for the FLEO's, and from there to Homeland Security at the National level who simply coordinates and calls in Federal forces if necessary.

Make the program voluntary but let those who complete training and six months of duty (that duty consisting of 4 six hour shifts per week) keep their firearm and comm gear.

Institute immediately - nation wide.

We are at war with a bunch of people, supported by some governments, who want nothing more than to kill as many of us as possible, disrupt our economy, end our influence in the world and bring down this Republic. Sadly, they are abetted by some within our own government and more within our own borders. It has been going on in low gear for a long time, it has heated up in the last few years and boiled over on 911.

It is continuing today.

If the Beltway Sniper is not a terrorist (and though I may be proven wrong, I believe he/she/they probably are), then the Terrorists are certainly taking good notes and we need to prepare for it.

Just my two cents on the situation and an all American solution that people would flock to IMHO.

Please propose this to your local shereiff and law enforcement.

Yup, another government handout program from a "conservative." Right up there with providing water to alfalfa farmers at below market prices (oops, you like that idea too).

On most of this, I can agree.

I don't believe the Sniper is Al Qaeda. But you can be damned sure that Al Qaeda is taking notes.

The ONLY way to defeat foreign terrorists, in the long run, is to go back to Mao's book and fight People's War.

The Whole People must be involved. I have believed this for some time.

Be Seeing You,

Chris
