We will NOT disarm.
Minuteman Right to Keep and Bear Arms ^ | January 2, 2013 | Tom Hoefling

Posted on 01/02/2013 10:07:12 PM PST by EternalVigilance

For four hundred years in this country, my family has had a well-earned reputation for being well-armed, and of not being afraid to use those arms if life, liberty, property, or their communities were threatened.

I'm a descendent of Alice Proctor, the wife of Virginia ancient planter John Proctor. In the Indian attacks and massacres of 1622 in which as many as a third of the Virginians were killed, John was in England, and she and her household held off the savages for a month. The British officers threatened to burn down the Proctor Plantation if she didn't remove herself from the frontier back to Pace's Paines, which she then had to do, but the Indians knew better than to ever come anywhere close to her or her family again.

A few generations later, at the start of the Revolution, five Proctor brothers, including my forebear Little Page Proctor, were part of the Virginia militia that secured the NW wilderness against the British-allied tribes. They were among the forty men with Daniel Boone who held off more than 400 Indians for ten days at Boonesborough, in what became Kentucky.

They knew that when it came down to it they had to depend on themselves and their neighbors, not on some far-off government.

Anyone who thinks it is fundamentally any different now is fooling themselves.

We will NOT disarm. Our natural rights, the right of self-defense being foremost, were given to us by God Himself, and Barack Obama and Dianne Feinstein are NOT welcome to them.

“Among the natural rights of the Colonists are these: First, a right to life; Secondly, to liberty; Thirdly, to property; together with the right to support and defend them in the best manner they can."

- Samuel Adams

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men..."

- The Declaration of Independence

Lizzie Borden took an axe
And gave her mother forty whacks.
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father forty-one.

The musings of the founders are crystal clear. The time of the second American revolution is at hand.

It is possible over the course of the next four years that you and I will meet face to face.

Not likely, however.

So, may it be said, I'm truely sorry for any harsh words exchanged.

We live in strange times, may the Lord have mercy on us all.

Interesting information regarding Boone and fight at Boonesboro. I’m descended from the Callaways who were there as well.

But what good would it have done only 10 years ago to say, “we will! Not stop smoking?” Then they taxed it out of existence. Watch for taxes on bullets and magazines...we will be usig sling shots In 10 years. (Well that is “some” of us).

The people who want to take away guns are people who are afraid of a public with guns. They are afraid because they believe you disagree with their politics. You are perceived as a danger to them, that is, to their power.

The Rahm Emmanuels and Barack Obamas of the World know that you’re not on their side.

Very interesting stuff.

Two of Little Page's brothers were at the Battle of Little Mountain. My uncle Joseph Proctor shot and killed the Indian who had just plunged a knife into the heart of Captain James Estill.

I Charlton Heston once said if we didn’t have the 2nd amendment we wouldn’t have the first.

“Charlton Heston once said if we didn’t have the 2nd amendment we wouldn’t have the first.”

Which is why Charlton Heston lobbied to revive the 1968 Gun Control Act when it was DOA and was instrumental in getting it passed, yet, he did nothing in later years to repeal it?

And only the ideologically pure may be worthy of your support, of course.

The opinions one had decades in the past can never change, apparently?

(And once again, the Right is never allowed to enjoy any of its leaders and heroes.)

“And only the ideologically pure may be worthy of your support, of course. “

That was a retarded conclusion. The conclusion you should have reached was that CH was a once enemy of firearms but did nothing later in life to correct his pervious actions.

You might as well have said a thief that was never punished nor returned the stolen goods is a good guy anyway because he did many things good later in life.

that is totally lost on the MSM media. (this includes FNC)

they believe since they all live in NYC they don’t have any worries.

If their viewers or readers are enslaved then there is no need for the press. If the voters are just freebie voters, the press is not needed. poof go the parties.

no more crotch kisses for anderson cooper on national tv.
