With the current, continuing, relentless onslaught of legislation, and now the capitulatory silence from the USSC bench sitters, the cartridge box may very well be the only way for us to restore our Republic. History, as I keep pointing out on these threads, shows this may in fact BE the only way.

Well, we each have to make our own judgements on that. It sounds like you've passed the point at which you think it's necessary to resort to violent revolution. I don't think we're there yet. I don't think it is fore-ordained by history that we will ever get there.

Obviously one of us is wrong. I sincerely hope you are the one who is wrong, because violent revolution in this country is not going to be pretty. It will be bloody and destructive, and at the present time it probably won't succeed. Most people in this country believe that political changes can be accomplished through peaceful processes, and they are not going to accept or support a violent revolution.

I don't think we're there yet.

When the simple act of owning unapproved property, like an "ugly gun", can get you killed by government agents... you are ALREADY past that time.

Non-initiation of force is most certainly NOT pacifism. They will kill you for exercizing your RIGHTS. What will it take for you? Them actively loading people into boxcars before you feel they've crossed the line? By the time they come for you, it will be far, far too late. Your neighbors house is on fire right now and the wind is blowing in your direction, what are you gonna do?

You can continue to ignore history all you want. Peaceful means no longer work. If there was a hope of that happening, we would have already seen some improvement. There isn't, we haven't. For every step forward, there are numerous steps back. As some wag once opined, "If voting could change anything, they'd have made it illegal."

No. I don't WANT revolution. I don't want my government to be corrupt and rotted. What I "want" matters little. As for success, people didn't think a rag-tag bunch of colonists could take on the British Empire and succeed either.
