When war has come to American soil, it is folly to continue to try to disarm the citizenry.

"Only tyrants, criminals and demonRATS fear the armed citizen."

Excellent article. Bump!

A number of year ago, I attended a speech by one Arkady Shevchenko, then the highest ranking Soviet official to defect to the West. He had been their top guy at the UN.

He spoke, interestingly, at KENNESAW COLLEGE (and we all know what Kennesaw is famous for!).

His talk dealt with the clear intent of the leadership of the old Soviet Union to somehow take America. He mentioned their ICBMs and the nuclear blackmail threat THEY posed.

Then he broke from his prepared remarks and offered this:

"The leaders of my country are as AFRAID OF YOUR 200 MILLION PRIVATE FIREARMS as they are of your ICBMs. NEVER GIVE UP YOUR GUNS."

Frankly -- and, while he had to be careful as he was under FBI protection at the time, Shevchenko alluded to this in his remarks -- I'm as concerned about some domestic tyrant (say, Hillary or Chuck Schumer) as I am about some foreign enemy.

Those who are in power are too smart to ever let anything like this happen. They do not and will not come after us with guns and tanks. They have and will continue to come at us with laws and rules and regulations. And they do it little by little. Like boiling a frog. What will any of us do? Mount an assault upon a law-book in a courthouse? There will be no visible enemy. There will be no target to attack. Our liberties will be taken without firing a shot. There will be no rebellion. The sheep willingly give away their freedom so the shepard will protect them from the wolves.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the author goofed when he typed "The King Philips War".

I think he meant "King Philips' War"

To carry the "Schindler's List" imagery a bit further, what was obviously missing from "Schindler's List" was the Warsaw Uprising when the Nazis were in the final stages of transporting the Jews to concentration/work camps.

A small group of lightly armed Jewish men, women and children held a growing contingent of SS troops for about a month.

The Jews started out with pistols and a few rifles and Molotov cocktails and it grew from there. It was disappointing that the film did not tell that story in the context of the film.

Tomorrow is National Ammo Day. Y'all go out an buy a few hundred rounds. At least a hundred. Doesnt' matter what kind, so two boxes of .22s will send the message of the Billion Round "March". Or 4 boxes of shotgun shells. Best of course is something usefull in serious social situtations. .223, .45 ACP, .40 Patriot (aka .40 S&W), 9 mm (if you must), .308, .300 win mag, .357, .44 Mag/spl, or even .45 Colt. That's two boxes of handgun ammo (unless you buy the premium stuff in 20 round boxes) or 5 boxes of rifle ammo.

There are four boxes of freedom:
The ballot box.
The Jury box.
The soap box.
The cartridge box.

I was at the FreedomDrive rally last week in DC and saw a great bumper sticker which said "Fear A Nation That Fears Guns".....concise and to the point!
