Oh, I liiiike this.

That hits a little close to home, Carl ;-).

The True Believer gun grabbers do not have such a deep conviction in their beliefs.

In fact, I believe “gun control” will be morph into the lunatic fringe it rightly is when it’s willing accomplices in the Media gradually loose their relevancy due to loss of a believing audience.

The Brady Campaign has an overdeveloped sense of worth. They’re surrounded by people telling them they’re saving lives, yet half of their top-graded states contain more violence than many of their lowest-graded states. They are irrelevancy incarnate.

So when I read the Brady Bunch dialing the Outrage-O-Meter up to a Nigel Tufnel 11 over the Mary Lou McFate thing, I kinda gotta wonder to myself:

Which side has the “bunker mentality”, again?

You sure he called her?”

Yes I am.

While the Brady Campaign’s stated mission is to prevent gun violence, through their efforts to undermine the 2nd Amendment, they are making gun violence MORE likely as they push policies designed to disarm the law-abiding, and they become domestic enemies of those sworn to uphold and defend the Constitution of the U.S.

You sure he called her?

This is for you Mr. Helmke.

The only reason Kelli posts on your blog is because YOU CALLED ON HER SPECIFICALLY to come and defend you. You two are friends and you’re using her as a human shield.

I know this to be true and yes I have evidence. Now ask yourself how did I get that.

BOO!

When your back is against the wall, everything is a weapon. The more time and resources LEOs and politicicians spend responding to false calls and fixing broken shit, the less time they have to worry about us.

Case in point. The Brady Bunch is now spending time and resources looking for hidden bugs and spyware instead of pissing on the Bill of Rights.

They’re occupied for a little while. Same concept applies to authorities who abuse their power which is derived from “We the People.”

Case in point. If only 10% of people who get a speeding ticket plead not guilty and take it to trial, the traffic court system would collapse under its own weight.

We don’t need to start shooting to have a revolution in this country, we just need to think about what would a power-hungry dim-whitted dictator want me to do, and then do the exact opposite. Use that image as a reverse barometer.

Kinda like going out and buying every gun Helmke rants about. If he hates it, I put it on the shopping list.

guess what geniuses, a majority of the people once supported slavery… that didn’t make it right.

a majority of the people also once supported the trail of tears… that didnt make it right, in fact, it was ruled as unconstitutional by the SCOTUS.

The state I just left, Tennessee, has some of the better gun laws in the nation. Reasonable CCW, NFA weapons are okay, no special permits required to own or purchase, et cetera. In fact, its gun laws have been steadily getting better over the last ten years, with constantly loosening restrictions on CCW and other victories.

On the other hand, it’s seen confiscatory increases in taxes, draconian smoking laws, red light cameras, all on the state level, as well as all the plethora of post 9/11 fed.gov intrusiveness. Children pass through metal detectors as they carry their clear or mesh bookbags to school.

I can see an America in ten or twenty years where we have a national ID card with biometrics and an integral RFID chip, asset forfeiture is still rampant, we’re still losing a never-ending War on Drugs, tobacco and trans-fats are banned, minimum wage is $10/hr, and taxes are at European levels to support a European-style public health system…

…but we have national CCW reciprocity.

We’re winning on the gun front. What about the other fronts?

Man, I’d have had like 2 or 3 more hits from them!

Who would they send it to? The Joyce Foundation? LOL!

Has? I thought in their world of ludicrous conspiracy theories that was the way we have always been! I thought that we were all paranoid militia types who have hunting racks in our Ford F-150’s and go around declaring armed revolt anytime someone mentions Sarah Brady! Geez these guys better get with the program; doesn’t anyone subscribe to the the NY Times?!

LOL!

I’ll lay 4:1 it’s Pennington doing the blogging.

What is the big deal about someone infiltrating anti-gun lobby groups? As the Brady Campaign’s own post admits, they’ve been doing the same. Why is it an affront when gun right advocates do it? But not when they go undercover at Gun Shows, or when twirps like Michael Moore mis-represent themselves so they can harass old men like Charlton Heston?

As for when to rise up, and why people don’t? I think because we feel alone. For example, I think there are lots of people who would rise up if that time came. In fact, I think there are quite a few who would if there were a 100 other men joining them.

Heck, I know a lot of us wish there were enough of us to break Ramos and Compean out of prison. But alone…we’re cowards, right? Wrong…

We’re Chess strategists, we know that alone we can accomplish very little. Meanwhile, we will lose all – life, liberty, pursuit of happyness, families, loved ones, etc.

Two additional problems exist:

I. Most Americans are just like the government (fat, lazy, in debt, apathetic). And frankly, they by far outnumber every other demographic in this nation (pro gun, anti-gun, minority, christian, homosexual are all small token groups compared to “apathetic american”.)

II. Assurance or even probability of a better world. And I think this is the biggie. Say that 3% actually did get mobilized over an issue. Say they stormed and even took Washington – what next? You can’t make everyone happy. And you can’t get everyone to agree with you. That leaves any new regime requiring the use of force on civilians. Few of us want to go there, and it’s exactly in opposition to what we believe. Freedom to live. About the only way such could be pulled off is if you had a focal point so conducive (ie: British regulars harassing, terrorizing and murdering citizens) so as to create a majority uniformness within the active populace. And the issue is substantial enough that the vast “apathetica” is willing to allow it’s occurrence to see what happens.

This is essentially what happened in the American Revolution. Enough crap happened that the “active citizens” were mobilized into a majority form. Yes, there were those who sided with the British but they were less so and they lost ground quickly as the British acts against the people continued to increase. Meanwhile, there were a great number of Americans that were part of the “apathetica”. They continued to lack mobility. However, the situation had reached a point that their apathy was no longer opposed to a change in the status quo. One could say a casual curiosity existed. Until the movement became the new status quo.

We would need similar situations to occur. I truly think the closest we could come to some sort of revolution would be localized. (ie: There are some native american activists who seek to establish a new nation in the north east midwest. I could see there being enough of a movement united with such to lead to some Montana/Dakota establishment.) Where the American “apathetica” would find the bloodshed to distasteful in their own backyard. Such an event might work….

In truth, I am worried that military technology being developed thanks to the war in Iraq will soon leave such small arms as we are allowed as near impotent. I don’t think we’ll see their like in use in Iraq but decades later the research now will come to fruitation.

?TinyURL??? (Raises hand from the back row of the class) what’s a TinyURL?
