Good to hear!! I know there are plenty of good LEO’s!
Take care not to romanticize things.
“BTW I’m ex state LEO and none of us would have put up with this gun grabbing crap.”
My guess is that you are older than 75. The old guys cared. No disrespect intended.
Great letter.
I'm terminally ill. I carried a rifle for 20 years. I don't have shit to lose.
Yeah, I was going to crack open a case of .223 this morning for fun, then decided it should wait for more earnest times.
None taken. Not quite that old LOL but getting there quickly.
Deep South over 35 years ago.
What I can see (and I have talked and listened to a few ex-LEO and military at my gun club), is that when the current “amnesty” period is up and they still don’t get the registrations and rifles they are looking for, the CSP will be ordered to make an “example” of a single or few gun owners to put on a big show to the others to “turn them in”.
Of course these poor few gun owners they target will most likely be someone very timid and they will be dragged out of there home hog-tied and the media will be brought into view the perp’s “arsenal of weapons and ammo”.
The Lt. of the CSP will be there on camera to give a stern warning to others that they better turn in there weapons or this will happen to you soon “we have information on you!!!!”
After that, most will comply or move their weapons out of state.
Yes, there may be only a little over 1200 CSP, but the state could try to declare that the anyone not turning in their weapons could potentially be TERRORISTS! That would being in the Feds to add to their numbers.
The media would be in full fledge “All gun owners are terrorists!” mode and there would be a big campaign to get people to rat out those that they know who have these weapons with big money rewards. Mothers and wives would be ratting out their sons and husbands believing they are protecting them from the fate that occurred to the few poor “examples”.
That scenario seems to be the one that the people I talk to thinks will happen.
Mothers and wives would be ratting out their sons and husbands believing they are protecting them from the fate that occurred to the few poor “examples”.
Actually I can see that happening, the backlash those women would face would be terrible to behold though. Many, many men would see that as a betrayal as big as an adulterous affair leading to divorce and him losing it all in the ‘family courts’.
There is always a breaking point with a person, some know where theirs is some don’t. I think actions like these tend to make people discover where theirs is.
Sorry, sounds like a threat to me.
I hear you. No matter how it goes down (and I hope reason prevails), this is an issue that neither side can afford to lose. The author was correct in saying it will not be contained to Connecticut. It will spill over.
Damn! Just plain damn! My heart just hurts for ya’ll up there in yankee land.
Hate to see it happen, but sounds like ya’lls Alamo is up in CT. Good luck to you all.
1. Your shotguns are useful from 50-75 yds.; your pistols and submachine guns to 150 yds; your 5.56 NATO rifle or carbine to 300 to 400 yds. A 7.62 NATO or .30-06 rifle can engage you at ranges from point blank to 900 to 1,000 yards.
2. Your vests and helmets will not stop a 7.62 NATO or .30-06 bullet. Even with ballistic inserts, a 168 grain AP bullet will punch both sides of your protective vest and the ball projectile will punch your Kevlar helmet.
3. The .308 diameter projectile has more kinetic energy at 600-800 yds. than your pistol calibers and 5.56 calibers have at their muzzles.
4. You have to be alive to go home at the end of your shift and to collect your pension. If you start murdering the people you we supposed to protect and serve, we — your victims — will kill you back.
It IS that simple. Tone down the rhetoric, threats, intimidation, and physical force. Or, many of you will embrace the Big Dirt Nap. The same applies to your political bosses, their media cheerleaders, and other “useful idiot” enablers of the progressive Left.
Para. 4 typo: “we” = “were”.
Carry on.
But 66% of their head is unprotected.... You’re no good if your head is gone.
1 drops - they’re angry
2 drop - they’re angrier yet
5 drop - their wives tell them to stay home
20 drop - they no longer want to dawn their uniform
The ones doing the dropping will not be wearing uniforms, but know who they are.
The hunters quickly become the hunted.
It sounds like you do not recognize what the red line for 2nd Amendment issues is. This is it.
