Gun Owners Beware - Let's Not Act Like Hot-Headed Fools

"We are most likely going to have to fight this one out, so let’s all pick a good time and place.".....and target. Then, on a given day from millions of citizens, a handful of Patriots unknown to each other, will visit the fate of the Hydra upon them.

[SampleMan]

What should the Allies have done to prevent the Nazi press from giving them bad coverage?

[cripplecreek]

“Tuebor”

"Somewhere along the march route it is almost a certainty that a person secretly working for the government will fire a shot in order to provoke violence."

You hit the nail on the head, and that is why this proposal should not be supported by any intelligent patriots.

[CharlesMartelsGhost]

But if one listens to the leftists-socialists one hears them say: Pay no attention to history it may offend someone.

[mylife]

We have over turned these laws.
DC Vs Heller comes to mind.

Kay Bailey Hutchinson reworked these laws successfully.

[mylife]

I for one am very happy that a Free Agent, named Ted Cruz is disturbing the Hoi Palloi in DC.

Be Polite, and have a plan.

[TigersEye]

I don’t care how noble the cause or how brilliant the planned action is, I’m not going to follow some commie kook who masquerades as a Republican and lies about his military service to get elected.

[muir_redwoods]

This plan sure smells like something Eric Holder fomented. If it happens it’ll give him and Obama all they need to get any gun control legislation passed in the senate.

[publius911]

Having said that, I do believe it falls on gun owners and other liberty-loving individuals in America to behave in responsibly. This is especially true in high-profile events where it is highly likely that the media will take the slightest misstep and portray it in a way that will not be to our advantage.

How politically correct of you!

Pardon my intrusion, but since I regard the MSM, and specially PBS lower than worm excrement, I refuse to pattern my life, my outlook and my opinions on the fear of how they might react.

The constant stream of omissions, distortions and outright fabrications by the MSM without criticism, can only give validity to what amounts to the propaganda arm of the most vile, dishonest and oppressive U.S. government ever.
I refuse to join your "progressive" club. Nothing personal.

[publius911]

Another important point about what the Michigan father did. He put his own butt on the line without trying to get others to do the same.

That opinion is valid only on the assumption that adult citizens are not capable and able to make up their own minds.
You may choose to decide for yourself.

[cripplecreek]

It wouldn’t surprise me. The left desperately needs us to lose control and give them a reason.

If you look at history, those who remain calm win in the end. Think about the Chicago riot and the Weather underground. They lost because they were impatient and became increasingly radical and violent. The same is happening again and we need to be smart enough to allow it while defending ourselves.

However, no more coddling of clowns like William Ayers.

[cripplecreek]

That opinion is valid only on the assumption that adult citizens are not capable and able to make up their own minds.

Obviously a correct assumption.

“The constitution was written before
any police regulations,” replied the general.
“If they come in conflict with the
constitution, they are void. We stand
squarely upon the constitution. That is
our platform.”
“How do you intend to force your
rights?” _
“There is but one way—by an appeal to
the courts. We will go before the highest
court in the land if necessary. Meanwhile
we will- wait here in Washington if it takes
all summer. If the courts refuse us our
rights, there will be a revolution. I do not
advocate revolution, nor do I desire it, but
it will be irresistible, and it will be the
greatest revolution of history if the American
people are once thoroughly aroused.”

[El Laton Caliente]

This worked out so well for the bonus army...

[JimRed]

Bad press? How about a massacre.

The Shot Heard 'Round the World, redux.

[JimRed]

...they could use pitchforks instead.

Tar, feathers and a fence rail would be appropriate, too.

[JimRed]

Well, laws would be broken. I think that's the intent.

A law in conflict with the Constitution is an invalid law.

[JimRed]

Imho, it is not time to start a war...

Is it time to start taking out those who will give the orders to fire upon us, provided the ballot box is ineffective?

[no-to-illegals]

I made a prediction several years ago. This was that prediction and this prediction was shared at what I considered the appropriate levels. Prediction ... by 2014 the American people will decide to vote at the ballot box, (prediction) by 2016 a vote at the ballot box will be in question. By 2018 all bets are off.
