Yesterday, Attorney General John Ashcroft and FBI Director Robert Mueller warned that al Qaeda is almost ready to launch a large-scale attack on the United States over the summer or fall. The threat is not new, but the likelihood of an attack is. To counter it, all Americans will have to become citizen-soldiers.

Shouldn't citizen soldiers be allowed the "luxury" of being able to legally arm themselves?

My guess is a 9/11 aniversary replay or an eve-of-the-election horror to manipulate a Spanish-style capitulation. Liberal hate groups, of which there are many, will provide "beards" and other "useful idiot services" for the serious "soldiers" who will do the actual dirty work.

I'll do what I can to stop these scum.

My guess is the next attack will be on either 6/11 or 12/11 as they have done 9/11 & 3/11.

One thing is for certain: If al Qeada does pull off a major strike within the US again, we "citizen soldiers" will definitely exact some revenge from their supporters. Of that, they can count on it.

In other words, if you are a moderate Muslim opposed to terrorism inside the US, I highly suggest that you do something to stop any actions by the radicals. Consider it as an investment.

The so-called moderates [fictional] have had since 9-11 to open their mouths. The silence has been deafening.

Time's up.

''Investment''?

Faugh! Consider it life insurance. Epidemic vigilantism is away by **exactly** one more major atrocity within our borders.

Consider the eleventh commandment. Thou must not resort to profiling a suspect. In your duties as a citizen soldier you must recognize that the kindly old grandmother next door might be as capable of launching a terror attack as that wacko that keeps going to the mosque for evening prayers. Also, you must realize that in most cities that ban firearms, the police are as big a danger to your personal freedom and safety as that terrorist, especially if you use that firearm to defend yourself or others. Be PC in all ways, do not succumb to radical profiling. Err, is that racial profiling?

Why, yes, they should. Indeed, some are.

Vigilantism will occur if we are struck again. And as faar as Washington, D.C. goes, screw the gun laws, I work here and I will go "heeled" with rifle and pistol.

Mr. Ashcroft said he was asking for "unprecedented levels of cooperation" from law enforcement officials, but he might have said the same about citizens.

Not a problem. Right up to the point that the lib's and Dem's start calling for bans on guns - bans on ammo - bans on night vision - bans on kevlar - bans on just about everything. That is where I draw the line and will "present a protest" to such anti-American suggestions.

Suggestions of disarming American citizens is NOT a "level of coorperation." It is a level of surrender.

Shouldn't citizen soldiers be allowed the "luxury" of being able to legally arm themselves?

Tain't a luxury. Actually it is a responsability of the fed.gov to arm it's citizens as well as an army.

Article 1, Section 8, Clause 16,

Clause 16: To provide for organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States, reserving to the States respectively, the Appointment of the Officers, and the Authority of training the Militia according to the discipline prescribed by Congress;

It is also the responsability of each member of the milita to arm themselves. This is, of course, at the heart of the Second Amendment.

Despite Colt's current pee-cee attitude, I still say there ain't nothing that shoots like a SP-1 AR-15 with plain old 55gr ammo. I use an original stock Colt 3x compensating scope and I can zot ya in your left eye, or your right. Your call.
