Gun Rights: Are There Any Peaceful Solutions Left?
Alt-Market ^ | 02/15/2013 | Brandon Smith

No revolution for good ever begins with "majority support". Each is fought by a minority of strong willed and aware individuals. When all other methods of protest have been dismantled, the system leaves us with only two options: stand and fight, or kneel and beg for mercy. All you need to know is what YOU would do when faced with that choice.

There is no other culture on earth that has the capacity, like Americans currently do, to defeat centralists, defend individual liberty, and end the pursuit of total global power in this lifetime. We are the first and last line. If freedom is undone here, it is undone everywhere for generations to come. This is our responsibility. This is our providence. There can be no complacency. There can be no compromise. There can be no fear. It ends on this ground. One way, or another…

Great article!

There is but one peaceful solution.

The Anti-Constitution Leftists cease and desist in their efforts to cherry pick our freedom and liberty.

What is there to negotiate? Each gives up something till a consensus is reached.

We got the guns.

They got nothing.

If we give up the guns or magazines, they have nothing to give up.

They will then be back for more, and more and more till there is no more.

Obama wants his Reichstag fire, or his Timothy McVeigh.

Manufactured or provoked, he won’t let a crisis go to waste.

Only our surrender is “peaceful” by liberal standards.

I believe a “free city” is the best possible outcome. City, because we don’t have enough true Americans to populate a state. Besides, we wouldn’t be allowed to secede, and there are not enough of us with the fortitude it takes to go galt on them.

From the article: The Founding Fathers went through steps very similar to those I listed above and more to counter the tightening grip of the British Empire during the first American Revolution. The idea is simple:

Peacefully deny the corrupt system’s authority over your life by supplying your own needs and your own security, rather than lashing out blindly. Force them to show their true colors. Expose their dishonor and maliciousness. Make them come after you like the predators they are, and then, once they can no longer play the role of the “defending hero” in the eyes of the public, use your right to self defense to send them a message they won’t forget.

The vast majority, the extraordinary majority, of defenses for gun rights are peaceful.

They can be peaceful for the same reason that places where guns are numerous have only very limited crime.

The only people who are victimized by gun grabbers are those who willingly surrender their guns, when gun confiscation is ordered. Even when the Nazis decided to wipe out the Warsaw ghetto, the Jews within could only muster half a dozen guns at first, but the resulting casualties of the Nazis were enormous.

And as time passed, the Jews obtained more and more illegal guns, inflicted higher and higher casualties to the Nazis, and though they were eventually wiped out, it took vast resources to do so. Were there more such places in resistance, or better armed, it would have been as hard as beating an enemy army.

So the bottom line is not violence, but resistance, which today is happening at all levels. If they would obey, how many Army divisions would it take to conquer a state? And once it was conquered, then what?

Today the citizenry, the police, the Sheriffs, many state legislatures, etc., all reject the efforts of the gun grabbers. And they do not need violence to do so, because they, we, are in the overwhelming majority.

“They” live primarily in cities.

Cities are vulnerable in countless ways.

Let them start it and we can have the pleasure of charging them big (whatever replaces dollars) for even a drink of water.

Yes, this article covered State and local governments nullifying any unconstitutional laws. Said the Fed would take away funding, and that local government could then just ignore other laws stopping economic growth (such as EPA)so they don’t need Fed funding. Hell, just think how much money a commnity could save by ignoring just a few federal laws. Their “funding” comes from us anyway.

" they have nothing to give up."

"They" need to start by giving up the restrictions on noise suppressors, as a good faith offering (for the (hearing) of the children).

Yea, I think I would rather be spread out over a big area so it’s harder to target.

First of all: is FR under some kind of hack attack? Most access attempts seem to terminate in an IE dump, before the next attempt manages to run.

And no, there are no peaceful solutions left. Not one.

Worth repeating. Well said. Make them come to us with force.

If they come in force you must take out at least two of them to your one in order to make an impact.Everything over two-one is a plus to your odds of winning the battle.

Some liberals were talking about how Red States get more from the feds than they pay in. That’s true for some Red States, but not for others. Texas pays A LOT more to the feds than they get. Arkansas pays more. Oklahoma gets a small amount more per capita. If we got rid of EPA and other such regulations, we’d cash in on a manufacturing Renaissance and wouldn’t need a dime from the Feds.
