Stick to your guns–no matter what!
This
is a re-post from a couple of years ago. Matt tells it like it is. If
we don't resist, it's just a short boxcar ride to a "re-education" camp.
Or a bullet in the back of the head. I have made my stance very clear
on more than one occasion.
My line in the sand;
I would rather be shot by a government thug while standing in the middle of my street
than to be shot in the back of the head by a government thug while kneeling next to a pit.

If they come to take away your guns by force, they have declared war on
the Constitution, and on you. At that point, war is joined, just as it
was during another famous gun confiscation raid on April 19, 1775.
If a firearm was legal in 2012, under the 2nd Amendment it’s still legal
in 2013 and it will be legal forever, no matter what so-called
“executive orders” are handed down or new “laws” are passed by a
panicking Congress. Those who say otherwise are liars and traitors and
oath breakers and domestic enemies.
Every survivor of every genocide says the same thing: when they come to
take your guns, shoot them! Make them take them, and their system of
repression will be overwhelmed, because they don’t have millions of
jack-booted thugs ready to do armed battles all over the country.
If you give up your arms, you are placing your entire trust in the
permanent future benevolence of the U.S. government. This trust is
invariably fatal: ask the American Indians about those treaties that
were guaranteed forever.
History is clear, with numerous examples, of the danger of gun
registration and gun control. The German gun registration laws were
enacted duuring the 1920s Weimar Republic, years before Hitler came to
power. German gun registration was mandated in the name of “public
safety.” Note that phrase well. I’m sure today’s liberal utopians would
agree that they were “common sense” and “reasonable” gun control laws.
Don’t we all want “public safety?”
Then Hitler rose to power, and used the gun registration lists to first
disarm the Jews, and then to force them into starving, overcrowded
ghettos, and finally into mass graves and gas chambers. The Nazi
genocide of the Jews was enabled by those “common sense” German gun
registration lists.
Millions of Polish Jews were rounded up by German military police
battallions. The German military police only needed a 1-10 ratio to
their victims. A mere 100 German military police, (4-Fs in their
forties, bottom of the barrel conscripts, not rabid SS), would round up
and murder a town of a thousand Jews over the course of one day.
The Germans would force them to sit tightly packed together on town
plazas or sporting fields under the watch of only a handful of armed
guards. The Germans would then march groups of twenty or thirty at a
time at gunpoint into the woods for point-blank executions. A 1-10 ratio
means the military police were not worried at all about meeting
resistance. The victims were all previously disarmed.
During the Armenian Genocide from 1915-23, two million Christian Turks
were exterminated by being marched at gun point into burning deserts
with no food or water. The Turkish gun registration laws were enacted in
1911, in the name of “public safety.” The genocide began a few years
later, after the Armenians’ firearms were confiscated.
Entire divisions of Russian troops hiked home from WW1 in 1917/18,
carrying their rifles and swords and other sidearms. Very early on,
Lenin decreed that “public safety” required they all be turned in, under
penalty of death. And so the Russian war veterans were disarmed—but not
the Communist Party members. Then came the Soviet purges, the Great
Terror, the Gulags, and tens of millions of disarmed Russians were
murdered.
I’m sorry, but I do NOT trust that our federal government won’t turn as
brutally tyrannical as the old USSR at some point in the future, perhaps
after an economic crash or other major crisis. The Obama regime already
perceives that we “Bitter Clingers” are “reactionaries” who are not
only standing in the way of social progress, we are actively blocking
it.
That makes us pure Evil, since their plan for a socialist utopia is pure
Good. And that means they will ultimately come to feel totally
justified in seeking a “final solution to the Bitter Clinger problem,”
in the same way that the Turks, Soviets and Nazis did. Can anyone
guarantee Americans that tyranny will never visit our shores?
If the socialists in power are scapegoating us as national villains now,
what will they do when they have no reason to fear us whatsoever? Did
the Turks, Soviets or Nazis treat their despised minorities better, or
worse, after disarming them? Think!
And once a despot’s enemies (that’s us) are disarmed and helpless…the
temptation grows to simply do away with them. Obama mentor and
ghost-autobiographer, the Weather Underground bomber Bill Ayers, stated
that they would need to murder ten percent of the American population to
achieve their socialist nirvana. Thirty million bitter clingers. Guess
who that is?
Don’t relearn this bitter lesson the hard way. Learn from history’s many
examples. As it was for the Turkish Armenians, German Jews, Russian
Kulaks, Chinese, Ugandans, Guatemalens, Cambodians, Cubans, Rwandans,
and on and on, history’s lesson is crystal clear:
Stick to your guns–no matter what!
I think this passage says it all. If we resist, what are they really
going to do? What happens when the enforcers are afraid to go out and do
their jobs?
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And you could be sure ahead of time that you’d be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Or what about the Black Maria sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur — what if it had been driven off or its tires spiked. The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!”

Bravo, kind sir! Love it and could you send this to Michael Moore?
