“Furthermore, if anyone thinks that gun owners are going to stand against a government as powerful as the U.S., and be successful on any level, they are under a severe delusion...”
Explain Afghanistan. Hell, explain the failed WOD already underway in this country. We’re not giving up our guns.
It is an interesting take on things. He declined to mention what other Nations might do if things deteriorate that much - we are a ripe plum in the big picture and I imagine a few may decide to band together to “pick” the plum. I wonder how a snag like that might play out if the People still have enough weapons in circulation...not to mention some potentially true Patriots controlling military might.
My comment about Golden Retrievers was a comment on the character of most LEOs. Anyone who will shoot a harmless dog needlessly will be happy to be on the swat team that shoots your kids.
The Civil War erupted at a time when the slave-holding South recognized that their situation was untenable. Slavery was going to end if they remained in the Union.
Despite their unjust cause of wanting to perpetuate the owning of people as property, it took years and half a million lives to get the South to lay down its weapons.
How could there be less bloodshed protecting the right to keep and bear arms, a cause which had already ignited the American Revolution and which our Founders recognized as essential to the security of a free state?
I can't predict how the people of New Hampshire will behave, despite their motto of "Live Free or Die", but I'm pretty sure that Texas, Arizona, and Utah will be keys to a bright future.
Guess which way those firearms will be pointed?
Stay safe my fellow Americans and know we stand with the American people!!!!!

I know nothing about this “personal manufacturing” trend, and was only using zip-guns as an example because it was the first thing that popped into my mind. Z-guns of course were primarily used as inner-city gang-on-gang “equalizers”(going back to the 1940’s probably) and probably don’t have any bearing on any bleak scenario I can envision where “groups” representing one side or another, legal, quasi-legal, or “outlawed” might be arrayed against one another in some kind of apocalyptic ongoing “shoot-out”, resulting from the 2nd Amendment guarantees of self-defense.But I can see how you say that laws against this will probably be against the “information” being exchanged and not the guns themselves.
That would involve an unusual political bedfellowing of the Government, and any or all gun manufacturers. Unprecedented but I could see it happening, in “intellectual property” terms. Just beware of guns coming in from China, reverse-engineered sloppily, with bullets that wind up exploding in the barrel. (”Whoops! Our mistake! Sorry!)
I think this is WAY over the ‘compassionate-conservative’s’ heads...
“He declined to mention what other Nations might do if things deteriorate that much”
You assume that other nations will continue their current level of spending and arms levels.
Remember, many of them get their crap from us. Including their money to maintain those arms levels.
If we implode, they will shortly collapse, being unable to restock, both food and weapons.
“Texas, Arizona, and Utah will be keys to a bright future. “
Suspect you can add Wyoming, Idaho, and Oklahoma to that. Possibly also Montana and the Dakotas.
One could write an entire novel concerning the moral dilemma for military who must consider "treason" against a tyranny. And another novel concerning the tactics of those who decide to side with the right.
I recall how rough the troops were with some of the equipment. Most were potential draftees who decided to enlist. Imagine how rough troops would get if they were decidedly against their own military mission.
Already written:
Amen...
The deadline came and went and I recall reading an article published after the fact, that out of an conservative estimated of over 4 million assault weapons (legal or otherwise) only something like a "whopping" 280,000 weapons were registered.
From that point, there was nary a peep out of DOJ or any other gun grabbing fascists concerning the state's utter failure to intimidate California gun owners..
Think about it. We have more than twice the number of armed civilians than all the members of all the militaries of the world combined.
Who do you think would volunteer to come into the USA to fight against us? Whoever they send would quickly become dogfood or fertilizer.
Maybe they'll nuke us, you might say? Perhaps. But the effects of nukes are seriously overrated. To kill a million people, one would have to be directly over a city (where the majority of our domestic enemies reside). Out in the hinterlands, it would take a million-dollar nuke to kill a dozen people. This option is not economic for any enemy.
As pointed out in SENTINEL's article, internally we have (at least) a 230:1 numbers advantage, and I suspect the odds are even more greatly in our favor. As he said, they're trying to use a chihuahua to frighten us into jumping over a cliff. They are bluffing. We will not disarm.
If they continue their stupidity, i.e. keep orchestrating these mass killings of innocents to justify their gun control agenda, pretty soon the fight will come to them.
The gun sales of the past two weeks is all you need to see to know this.
We need to recognize that Carl Marx said repeatedly that his goal was "to dethrone God". We fight, truly, against evil satanic forces. I am convinced that the timing of some of these horrible crimes we see are coordinated through the spiritiual realm, rather than that of evil men.
Maybe picket signs on a corner but I suspect those folks won't be willing to use up their sick days or vacation time to participate in the revolution.
After all, there's mortgages and new vehicles to pay for, kids to shuttle to and from soccer, football, baseball, etc.......They just won't have the time.
But they'll boast online about it.........
True, but when the nation is on the razor's edge of tension, like it is now, and when bravery, courage, and resoluteness, are the only acceptable attitudes, it would be nice if the little darlings would hush it.
