Try again...

I have had a few conversations, and I like to stress restraint. Such as this:

Wal Mart will no longer replenish their ammo once it has been depleted.

seems to be false.

That said, I read your stuff because I learn from what you have to say. Thanks for that.

The whispered conversations are ominous...

Right. The Wal-Mart bit concerning the refusal to sell ammunition does seem to have been invalidated. Unfortunately, these things are all to easy to believe these days, and rumors like these tend to take on a life of their own.

That said, it takes away nothing from the core of Mr. Davis' message and observations.

I had the great misfortune to hear Glenn Beck essentially wave the white flag last night in his advocacy of a 'Ghandi-like' response to gun confiscators when they come to your door.

Mr. Beck's premises are wrong. The Ghandi bit works only when your opponent is willing to observe the rules of civilized behavior as the British did at the time - for whatever reasons. Others have observed that if Ghandi had had to deal with the Japanese, his headless corpse would been floating down the Ganges in short order - along several million more of his countrymen. The National Socialists of Germany would have given Ghandi equally short shrift - the last we would have seen of him would have been a puff of smoke from the chimney of one the ghastly crematoriums run by the SS.

Passive resistance only works when you are dealing with those for whom mass slaughter is not an option.

Passive resistance only works when you are dealing with those for whom the civilized rules of behavior govern their conscience and their actions.

Now - who thinks that we here in America are now dealing with those who respect the rule of law, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution?

There will be only one way to stop these monsters. Only one way.
