And it will be this way, I will blog when I can. I have a rant peculating and some things that happened at Casa De Garabaldi. I will try to get a post up on Sunday, or I might sleep in, LOL
Well anyway I saw this on Quora while I was on the throne. As I was taught a long time ago "The bossman gets paid a dollar, I get paid a dime, so I get paid to crap on company time". Well anyway I saw this and thought it was worth "Nicking". Afterwards, I added a post I had done back in 2013.
because a tyrannical government would send drones, A-10s, and tanks to quell any civilian revolts?
AR-15s?
Some of these people don’t have proper shoes. I have seen shoes made out of Kumho tires. And they’re not even U.S. citizens.
The U.S. has employed drones, A-10s, artillery, guided missiles… a whole hell of a lot of resources. Hundreds of billions of dollars.
After nearly 20 years of fighting these “poorly armed” people, we’re about to finally quit. Because there is no [feasible] way to win. We don’t even know what “winning” looks like today.
War is not simply killing the enemy. War is a struggle between two hostile, independent, and irreconcilable wills, each trying to impose itself on the other by force.
You do not win a war by killing the enemy. You win a war by destroying his ability to fight. Killing your enemy is just one tried-and-true method of destroying your enemy’s ability to fight. But it is not the only way. It is not even the most efficient way.
Unless you’re willing to slash and burn, asymmetric warfare is not won by having the biggest or most expensive toys. It’s by using the toys you do have to grind your enemy down in materiel and morale. To undercut his economic and social support. So that even if your enemy has all the toys to fight, you’ve attrited him so badly that he no longer desires to pay the high cost of using them.
So, your military personnel are murdering civilians in mass numbers with expensive toys?
Well, let’s get down to brass tacks. I mean, really basic, gritty uncomfortable stuff about occupying an armed society. At the end of the day those military personnel are greatly outnumbered. And they live in homes and have families and they have to sleep. Right in those angry civilian’s backyards.
Sure, Lieutenant Smith can reach out and touch someone by predator drone. If Ireland taught us anything, one night Smith will go to the local off-base watering hole. And he won’t come home that night. They’ll find him dead in an alley or floating in a river.
Oh, sure. They’re not supposed to talk about what they do. But, it happens. Loose lips. Internal leaks. It’s inevitable—especially close to home. Today, the Air Force has about 900 drone pilots. How many pilots could a tyrannical government afford to lose? How fast can you re-train them?
Sure, you can take increasingly drastic action to control the civilian population. And you’ll only exacerbate the pushback. And where’re your bullets and beans coming from? Who is producing and packaging it? Is it still safe? Those aircraft burn fuel. After several months of these operations, where are you going to get that fuel? Other civilians? Supply chains coming from civilian contractors are vulnerable. And collaborators are just targets. How are you going to operate when over 300 million people can deny you—and all of your supply chain—freedom of movement?
Like I said. This is ugly stuff.
So now, in addition to this murderous government killing civilians, you’ve got to protect your personnel, their homes, their families, food production and processors, private contractors, fuel lines, highways, etc. And that’s before we even consider external threats who might smell opportunity.
So you really have a tyrannical government? The scale of operations you’ll need to contemplate will quickly explode in complexity and resource requirements. Yes, you can have a bit of fun oppressing your civilian population. But the logistics will ultimately sink whatever tyrannical fantasies you have.
Yes, even a poorly trained, armed populace is capable of defending and prevailing against a much larger, better equipped military. Not at any small cost. People die in armed conflict. But they can win. And that is the way things are.
And the fact that this is the way things are, tends to “discourage” ambitious and corrupt men from future actions they might take. Which would lead us down the path where such a tyrannical government would be willing to inflict such heavy casualties on their citizens with impunity.
Petty tyrannies maybe. But, outright tyranny isn’t logistically possible. So long as people have the means to resist you.
People who state this absurd objection are effectively saying, “And that’s why we need to disarm the people. So they can’t fight back at all.”
Something else to think about, I had posted this back in 2013 I believe and it is still pertinent to what is going on,
I ran across this from Here. I remember seeing this posted before right after Sandy Hook. Since then, the government has tried to ban certain ammo for a very popular rifle platform. BATF is just doing the bidding of the petulant boy king. I have commented in the past that there is only one way to enter Valhalla and kneeling before the executioner ain't it. I am adding some points to the below essay. I have this thought going through my mind if the time came and I had to choose to die with honor or live as a coward....
If the decision came, I hope I acquit my self as well as the vikings did in this battle, yes I know that this is a movie, but the Alamo was real as was other places that fought against overwhelming odds. I sincerely hope that it never comes to this and we pull away from the abyss that is looming in front of us. There is a lesson here, if everybody choose to fight, the enforcers will quickly lose heart for we vastly outnumber them.
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. by Matt Bracken
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 during 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 battalions. 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, Guatemalans, 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!”
Yeah, I shamelessly clipped this off Quora, it was a good response, it has been discussed amongst us bloggers for several years, especially when we hear from the lefties " you can't fight the Apache Helicopter and the atom bomb" or some such nonsense...Our response is, "we don't fight them, we fight the logistics, and you do know that pilot that fired that hellfire into that house.....betcha he has a family....you think that family will be safe?, you lefties use violence like a volume knob to suit your political purposes, to us it is "on-off" switch, we flick that switch, it will make the genocide in Rwanda look like a kindergarten spat, so be careful what you wish for.
To read the article where I pulled the meme from is "Here", yes I wrote it back in 2019 after President's first impeachment.

Are ya sure?
Ever seen this guy?
Viet Cong. They were the guerilla forces on the side of these guys:
The USA and those guys fought a war. The USA was better equipped, funded, trained… better everything.
I assume you know who won.
In more recent history, ever see this guy?
He was a Taliban fighter, on the side of…
… well, uh, more Taliban. They were fighting the US for 20+ years. And the USA outmatched those guys WAY more than they outmatched anyone in Vietnam.
Remind me, who runs Afghanistan today?
But what about in America? What would resistance look like in America? I know, I know, the meme is the “muh-lish-uh” is entirely this guy…
And yeah, I too roll my eyes when someone like that talks about tyranny and resisting it. I, too, wouldn’t even trust him with logistics supplies. If they involved food, anyway.
But.
What about this guy?
I pulled that picture from an Amazon movie about American hunters. Do you think he knows his way around the back country and similar to Viet Cong or Taliban? Think he’s a good shot? Think he might know a thing or two about tactics, or could at least learn relatively quickly? Something tells me he does, is, and could.
But that’s not all.
What about this guy?
His name is John Lovell. You may want to mock him for all his tactical gear, because who does he think he is, what a poser… Well, he’s a retired Army Ranger.
And make no mistake, I’m not speaking for him. But IF tyranny really hit the US and IF he were to get involved- again, not speaking for him, but IF- I know whose side he’d take. I can guarantee, if he got involved, whose side he’d take.
It wouldn’t be tyranny.
But that’s still not all!
American soldiers- the ones who do the fighting, not the political brass or the desk jockeys- tend to overwhelmingly swing one direction, politically. And I can tell you this: push come to shove, a lot of them aren’t going to tyrannize their fellow citizens. They may at first, a little, because circumstance and nuance and confusion and so on.
But give it some time. See what happens.
Mark Milley, here?
You’re right. That coward will bend the knee to tyranny in no time. And yes, I do call him a coward, because he already bent that knee. For nothing more than career advancement during peacetime. Any military guy who publicly states he’s “concerned with white rage” because it’s the woke talking point of the day and the current administration, well, they’ll turn on the people for sure. I’ll grant you that.
But this guy’s nothing without these guys here:
They do the actual fighting. Maybe some will also bend the knee. But many are going to feel the way Mr. Lovell up there feels. I promise you that.
And this guy…
… he’s going to be more than happy to work with them. He wanted to be left alone, but someone brought tyranny to his land.
And in the off chance those army guys up there didn’t bring their rifles when they deserted their newly-turned-completely-tyrannical leaders? Good news! He’s already stocked up on extra rifles and tons of ammo.
Go ahead, parrot the stupid line about “we have nukes and F-15s!” (that was Biden who said that, YouTube it) and think that matters. We can even pretend that the F-15 pilots will all happily drop bombs on their fellow Americans without hesitation, too. Let’s grant that just for sake of argument.
Okay. F-4 Phantoms didn’t stop the NVA and Viet Cong. Twenty years of Black Hawk helicopters dropping Rangers and Seals to conduct raids and the C-130s dropping countless bombs and US army occupying every major city and the Predator drones assassinating countless jihadis and on and on and on… we had F-22s by that point along with F-15s, F-16s, A-10s, the F-35s were rolling out… well, all that didn’t stop people who literally often couldn’t even do jumping jacks or count. I’m not joking.
Behold, the ultimate tool of tyranny!
And, apparently this.
Truth is, an F-15 doesn’t occupy a street corner.
This guy does.
These guys are who you call to do that…
… but even these guys just might end up siding with, well, this guy…
… if it came down to it. Because, frankly between, say, Milley and fatty up there? Bottom line, fatty isn’t trying to bring tyranny to anyone.
But worry not, all you minutemen, the soldiers will have that guy stay home. Maybe instead the soldiers turning against tyranny will coordinate some guerilla style raids with his best buddy growing up down below, and toss in some training while they’re at it.
And believe me, the odds are that guy with the tripod can already shoot way better than most soldiers, let alone those who stay, let alone enlist or respond to a draft after tyranny arrives.
So, god forbid we have to find out, but considering the success of the Taliban, the Viet Cong, the obvious reluctance of most American boots-on-the-ground to tyrannize their own… who would you put your money on?
From what I have seen, the market is still very hot, according to my friend Mack "it is F**king crazy right now".

Holy shrimp! No, that’s not the two words I’d used to describe Black
Friday gun sales, but it’s close. It was a good day for the gun industry
and American civil rights. With Democrats back in power and acting like
idiots, they’re back to being the best sales team for the number one
item they hate: firearms. Seriously, it’s hilarious to see such an
anti-gun party do everything they can to make sure that everyone rushes
to buy firearms and thereby forever killing chances of shredding the
Second Amendment. Democrats pay for their anti-gun antics. We’ve seen
it.
With economic security in
doubt, lawlessness in our cities, and violent crime spiking, it’s no
shock why Americans are rushing to gun stores to procure means of
protection. With a new COVID lockdown possible, it just gives Americans
yet another reason to stock up. Stephen Gutowski of The Reload wrote
about the Black Friday sales, which could be summed up with two words:
“truly remarkable” (via Reload):
Additionally,
the total for the week leading up to Black Friday topped 687,788
checks. The numbers indicate the demand for guns has not decelerated
significantly since last year, according to the industry.
“We’re
still seeing a very strong appetite for firearm ownership in America,”
Mark Oliva, a spokesman for the National Shooting Sports Foundation,
told The Reload.
While most months in 2021 have seen lower gun
sales numbers than 2020, they haven’t dropped far and still occasionally
outstrip 2020 demand. That indicates the new normal for gun sales will
remain well above what it had been pre-pandemic. In fact, more guns were
sold through September 2021 than all of 2019.
“This figure of
over 687,000 background checks is truly remarkable,” Joe Bartozzi, NSSF
President and CEO, said in a statement. “This year has already been
shaping up to be the second strongest year for firearm sales on record,
second only to 2020’s record-breaking number of 21 million background
checks for a firearm sale. We anticipate, based on annual data, that
firearm sales will rise during the final month of the year coinciding
with hunting seasons and holiday sales.”
The industry has
struggled to keep up with the unprecedented demand seen throughout the
country since March of last year. Long lines formed, and store shelves
were stripped dry as the coronavirus accelerated the urgency to provide
for their own safety while facing meat and supply shortages. When
rioting came in summer 2020, the lines started up again, and millions
more Americans became first-time gun owners.
The surge has left
manufacturers scrambling to increase production. Many of the biggest gun
companies have been able to significantly increase production and
profits. Smith & Wesson banked the first billion-dollar year for a
gunmaker in American history.
Bartozzie said the number of sales
on Black Friday “underscores” not just sustained demand but the
“resilience of the firearm and ammunition industry to meet that demand.”
It’s
as American as apple pie. Yet, the supply chain issues might put a
wrinkle in some purchases. On top of that, there was already a massive
ammunition shortage. Due to the COVID pandemic, we saw some nine million
new gun owners in 2020. These first timers put pressure on the ammo
market, which already doesn’t have 9mm and .223/5.56 ammunition readily
available. The price of copper and materials have hit 50-year highs.
Both calibers are some of the most used by gun owners—and we could see
these shortages last for another 18 months to two years.
Still, great to see Americans go out and continue to exercise their constitutional right to own firearms.
I also got this from SSG. it used some really good verbage in defense of the 2nd Amendment. Unless the Donks are successful in packing the supreme court, than the post I set up on Sunday might become an reality.
President Biden has a constitutionally unsound interest in shredding the Second Amendment. We have been told he seems likely to release some executive actions on the topic tomorrow. He has consistently called for gun-grabbing policies and legislation that would fundamentally incapacitate that vital protection against tyranny. Fortunately for America, and freedom, we have a solid Conservative majority on the Supreme Court who believe the words on that dusty old parchment still matter.
UPDATE:
Now that the Biden admin has released the executive orders here are some quick takes
Ghost Guns- This is a narrative over danger action for a problem that doesn’t really exist, it will be tough for it to survive scrutiny. It is a classic “We have to do something, invent a scary name” action.
Pistols vs. short-barreled rifles- The use of a forearm brace to turn a pistol into a more rifle-like weapon is a tough one. In many cases these are not just pistols, but rifle or submachine gun actions and this may be an area where the courts side with Biden. But it more properly belongs as a legislative action, so they may shoot it down on those grounds.
Red Flag laws- These gain popular emotional support as they can be used to take weapons away from people who have shown they are a danger. That means these rules can also be abused to get guns confiscated by angry spouses during divorces other disputes. If this survives it needs to be very narrowly tailored.
The rest of Biden’s aggressive gun-grabbing agenda is outlined below and has yet to be put into action. But he and his allies are hell bent on doing it, so we can expect an attempt in Congress soon.
On the three year anniversary of the Parkland, Florida, school shooting, President Biden released a statement that included this:
“Today, I am calling on Congress to enact commonsense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets.”
He repeated that call after Ahmad al-Issa used an AR-15 to kill 10 people in Boulder, Colorado on March, 22. Biden said Congress should pass universal background checks but “should also ban assault weapons in the process.”
That “weapons of war” formulation is a favorite of Biden’s and his anti-gun mob. It’s catchy, but 100% unconstitutional when talking about the rights of citizens to keep and bear arms. Unfortunately for the Left, the right to own a weapon of war is precisely what is guaranteed.
The legal precedent for interpreting the Second Amendment is the D.C. v. Heller ruling penned by Justice Antonin Scalia. It very firmly establishes that there is a right for individual citizens to own guns for any legal purpose; and the type of weapons protected. Justice Scalia noted the previous decision U.S. v. Miller 1939 addressed this:
“Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those in common use at the time…”
Scalia expanded on that:
“The militia comprised all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense. The Antifederalists feared that the Federal Government would disarm the people in order to disable this citizens’ militia, enabling a politicized standing army or a select militia to rule. The response was to deny Congress power to abridge the ancient right of individuals to keep and bear arms, so that the ideal of a citizens’ militia would be preserved.”
This expressly contemplated that the citizens’ militia would be on some sort of equal basis with the standing army, and not simply a collection of individuals with shotguns and hunting implements.
At the time of the drafting of the Second Amendment that weapon would have been a musket. What does that mean in these modern times? I delve deeply into the intent of the Second Amendment in my new book, Winning the Second Civil War: Without Firing a Shot.
The answer is a weapon useful for service as a foot soldier in the militia:
“Today the individual soldier carries some type of AR-15 style rifle with a large capacity, detachable box magazine. It just so happens that the most commonly used weapon by private citizens, also known as the well-regulated militia, is some type of AR-15 style rifle with a large capacity, detachable box magazine. Interesting.”
The argument that usually follows from the Left is that the National Firearms Act of 1934 prohibits citizens from owning many weapons of war including machine guns. They think this should allow prohibiting semi-automatic “assault weapons”, too. The simple answer is that machine guns and other weapons banned in 1934 were never in common use or useful as the weapon of the individual soldier. An AR-15 variant is both.
Justice Scalia did a masterful job in preserving the Second Amendment from most of the attacks the Left will mount against it. Thankfully, D.C. v. Heller is virtually bulletproof. This was vital because it is arguably the most important of all the rights enumerated. It is the only one that gives citizens actual recourse to protect all the others if a government ever becomes un-Constitutionally tyrannical.
You can find a full list of Biden’s bad ideas on guns here. They include the previously mentioned desire to ban the manufacture and sale of “assault weapons”, the registration and taxation of existing ones, a limit to one gun purchase per month, and a cornucopia of other constitutionally-suspect regulations. These issues will come to a head soon as there are bills already being introduced in Congress.
“Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee has proposed a gun control bill that would create a national firearm registry, set a minimum gun ownership age at 21 and both require licensing and psychological evaluations.”
She also adds an $800 tax for “insurance” and makes this gun registry public knowledge so anyone can find out what guns someone else owns. A more likely first step is a bill reintroduced by Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy who said:
“…the single most popular and effective proposal we can consider is universal background checks,”
This might be the one place they can sneak something in without falling afoul of the Constitution. Federally licensed dealers must already conduct background checks, but private sales don’t require them. It is an open question whether this would be an improper burden on private sales or transfers, including between family members.
The Left is deeply invested in this and they know they need to act while they have control in Congress and the White House. While any law that includes gun banning or grabbing measures would be a grave danger, we need to test the viability of D.C. v. Heller with the supposed Conservative majority in the Supreme Court. An “assault weapons” ban should be an easy 6-3 decision to overturn.
I wanted to wait a bit before commenting on the Boulder Colorado Shooting...I wanted to wait a bit and let the families mourn...it is a respect thing...Something I wish the politicians especially those on the left seem to unable to locate or use. We have Senator Dianne Feinstein immediately before the blood was even cold schilling for more gun control. We have "Uncle Joe" pontificating about "Banning Assault Rifles" and "Using Executive Actions to further his goals". I'm not even going to identify the asshole who did the shooting.
The same politicians that had a hearing to restrict the first amendment rights of those she considers "alternative media". It is all about control, the elitist which she is part of believe that we the great unwashed masses need our betters in Washington D.C. on how to live. That is a big issue with me is the blatant hypocrisy displayed on the left. She and the other leftists has their bodyguards to protect them from the same masses that she wants to restrict our ability to defend ourselves and control the information so we will become the drones that the statist believe in to help run the utopia that they envision for us.
Now we will have to endure more calls for gun control, they keep telling us that we need " to compromise on our rights...Lemme get my dictionary....Compromise
So to compromise..I have to give up something......what does the anti-gunner give up....NOTHING>>>ZIP >>>NADA...They don't give up crap. Until the next time another squirrel uses a firearm, then they will want more compromise which basically means..we lose more of our rights. I am not going to give up anything anymore. All we have done in the past is try to be reasonable....Well I am done being reasonable.
The Anti-gunners keep missing the point...They are trying to legislate morality and it doesn't work. The people that do bad things already broke other laws...What will passing more laws accomplish...
Any excuse to chisel away at the 2nd amendment. All in the name of "Common-Sense" gun control. I will state the obvious, they use any tragedy to continue to ratchet down on the 2nd amendment. It isn't gun control, they want, it is "people control" . Liberals are busy bodies that want to not only control their life...they want to control yours also. And if they can get away with killing the 2nd amendment, you will have no choice because the liberals control the tools of the state and they will try to bend you to their will. If you don't comply they will send you to a gulag for "re-education" until you have paid your debt to their society via labor, you think I am being an alarmist? Stalin did it in the 30's with his purges, Hitler did it in the 40's with the work and death camps, and Mao did it in the 60's, and history has a nasty habit of repeating itself. Remember Saul Alensky, the hero to our "Uncle Joe" The Squad and the other democrats, they had stated that to fundamentally transform the United States to the socialist utopia that they want, that they will have to kill 10% of the American people, the ones that will not toe the line. This is the price that they are willing to pay for this socialist utopia, the great city in the hill that the progs have dreamed up. . As long as we have the 2nd amendment and our right to defense of persons from tyranny and oppression, they cannot do that. Remember these are the same people that stampeded everyone into wearing Face diapers and pushing to make them permanent.
I keep wondering how these elitist is going to persuade the average American to give up their guns? They gonna have the PoPo go bust down doors to get the guns.....all you gonna get is a bunch of dead citizens and dead police...and the average police officer ain't keen on kicking in doors. Now the weenies from the federal side of the house might be game...but the local law enforcement ain't going to have a lot of excitement. The feds would try it because it isn't their community...and they want to keep their benefits and paychecks..but they would have to get the support of the local PoPo....
American gun owners are beginning to respond with a fresh, powerful argument when facing anti-gun liberals. Here it is, in its entirety. Ready? “Screw you.” That’s it. Except the first word isn’t “Screw.” The fact is that there is no point in arguing with liberal gun-control advocates because their argument is never in good faith. You can’t argue with someone who is lying about his position or whose position is not based upon reason.
"Scratches from the Ovens at Auschwitz"
They lie about their ultimate aim, which is to ban and confiscate all privately owned weapons. And they adopt a pose of reasonability, yet their position is not susceptible to change because of evidence, facts or law. None of those matter – they already have their conclusion. This has to do with power – their power.
Put simply, liberal elitists don’t like the fact that, at the end of the day, an armed citizenry can tell them, “No.”
I am disturbed that the democrats really believe that they can force gun control on the populace. There are a lot of gun owners that will not hand them over...and I am not sure that the government knows exactly what they are in for..If memory serves...There are something like 400 million firearms here in the United States and most people ain't going to just hand them over.....it will be ugly fast. I find it ironic that the people that espouse gun control want somebody else to go physically take the guns away from the citizens. The people that are pushing this to support their nanny state big government agenda will not lead the stack into somebody's house in the middle of the night...they will be behind their keyboard and living in their guarded enclaves that insulate them from the results of their actions and we the people in "flyover country" will have to deal with the crime and other actions. The liberals especially the limousine variety like the idea of the unwashed masses being totally subservient to their "betters" whom thanks to the knowledge imparted by their professors in their Ivory towers in their Ivy League colleges that haven't worked a real job in their life and have no idea how the world actually works, just what they believe would work if the right people are in charge.
There is a growing disconnect with the people who are in charge, there is an undercurrent of anger and frustration and I am afraid that it will boil over and it will get ugly fast, we have the people in D.C doubling down in stupid and actually pushing for a confrontation....they believe that the power of the state is superior to all and that a people need to do what they are told. This is Anathema to a free people and it will force a fight for the direction of the United State...If we will remain a free nation or continue the slide toward socialism and the chains of slavery where all we are is a resource to be used by the state and discarded when we have no value and the dream that was the United States will be in the dustbin of history.
