That’s a problem when telling people of the dangers of UN Treaties (UN Rights of the Child) that have the force of law.

“I’m not afraid of any UN guys. Tell ‘em to come and get some.”

It won’t be that way. It’ll be a busybody social worker accompanied by the local sheriff/deputy whose kid plays in little league with your kid.

You gonna shoot ‘em?

No way....10mm to reach the fence.

1. Fear of federal intrusion into everyone's lives
2. Fear of a new assault weapons ban worse than Clinton's
3. Fear that a new American Revolution is coming
4. Fear of a general societal chaos.

As for the third, I was at the Dayton, Ohio Tea Party on July 3. One speaker read the beginning paragraphs of the Declaration of Independence. The BIG applause line was "That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, " with the most cheering for "abolish". It was certainly eye opening when a gathering of largely middle aged suburban people are cheering the idea of abolishing the current government.

There was a cop the other day that said if he saw a fellow cop stealing money from a perp that he’d take him aside and have a talk with him.

Another poster asked him if he saw a civilian stealing money from another civilian, would he just take him aside and have a talk with him.

[MrB]

I’ve been posting that section of the Declaration frequently as a reminder.

I also post the sentence before it - that men will tolerate injustice while it is deemed tolerable. That’s where we are now.

I have to give this author credit, if those are “the four”. Most authors pussyfoot around 1 & 3.

I think he was referring to black powder guns.

1. The Marxist meat puppet who calls himself ‘President’
2. The Senate
3. Congress
4. Islamic Jihad

Modern ones tend to be black.

Ah, the limits of slang.

[MrB]

If they’re coming to take my kids, I’m with you.
That’s a line in the sand.

9MM is the standard handgun caliber for our military forces.

[Oldpuppymax]

My thoughts exactly...what is a “black gun”?

An assault rifle, I suppose. Contrary to the evil, menacing, deadlier than deadly image given it by the left, all it really is...a gun, usually black.

Four Reasons Why Gun Sales Are Up

More hype and paranoia. Just because one sector of the economy is booming.

There is nothing unusual at all about the sharp increases in firearm and ammo sales. Absolutely nothing unusual at all.

People always increase their commodities and defensive stores when they are facing an extremely high probability of unprecedented combinations of civil war, world war, massive increases in crime, anarchy in the streets, and ordinary Class-A mayhem.

Only hits count.

[MrB]

Better to have a weapon in a caliber of the most easily found ammunition...

[Hardastarboard]

A Black Rifle is one of the most fearsome weapons ever designed by the hands of man. It was designed for shooting large herds of roaming school children in one session. It can penetrate even the most heavily armored American army tank; bring down a satellite in orbit a hundred miles above the earth; blow all four legs clear off an elephant; sink a battleship; and destroy the soul and morals of even the best of us. They are best left alone as the diabolical creatures they are. Don't give one of them the chance to enslave you.

Or, if you're NOT a liberal, it's a generic term for a military style rifle that typically shoots a small caliber center fire rifle round. They are often black in color due to anodizing / phosphate coating / paint, to minimize the amount of maintenance required to them.
