Sun Tzu stated that all warfare is based on deception, but then again, he probably didn't know as much as you.

Looks like I've offended a whole posse. Should I prepare myself for a gang beat-down?

...but about giving the correct response...

I don't owe anyone a "correct" response anymore than I owe the FedMob the luxury of coming to get me in full battle gear and kill me while I take the long odds chance of killing one or two. I intend to be effective not stupid.

Maybe after you're done berating me for having the temerity to question your turning guns over to the jackboots, you'll tell me how you plan to be "effective".

I see. What you're really trying to do is draw some FReepers out and have them post something actionable. Very interesting.

If they obey the Constitution, Federal and State statute, as Eric Holder so exemplifies.

For further clarification, see my tagline.

There are a few who would do as you suggest. I think, actually I know my late Father would have met them on the porch with his .45 in his hand and shot it out with them.

I have seen him do some crazy things and he somehow always got away with it. I am not sure if it was just his nature or if the fact that he had been in combat during WWII changed him. Whatever it was he was not afraid of anything.

I take more after my Mother who was a kind and gentle soul. About as mild mannered and cooperative as a person gets. On the other hand she is a descendant of Scottish Warriors, one of whom killed a famous man. I have seen that fierce side of her come out a couple of times. Once when we were walking to the house through woods after hoeing a cotton field. She had us climb trees while she fought off that hog with nothing but a goose neck hoe.

Another time they were robbed by a man in Atlanta at pistol point. Mother simply told him she was not going to give him her hard earned money. Daddy had to tell her to give it to him. Even then she told him she needed to keep her credit cards and he let her keep them.

Other than the city dwellers of NY, who gives a shiite what NY papers think or say about anything?

Just where do they get the idea that the sun orbits around them or that anyone else cares?

NY is foreign territory to most of the US, face it. Then again, most large urban area are to some extent or other.

Oh my. This is truly becoming hilarious now. I'll give you one thing...you sure can tap dance in a discussion.

That's fine. Let's just end off.

Police officers are sworn to uphold at least the constitution of their State, which in any case cannot contravene the US Constitution. It therefore seems to be their responsibility to ignore all illegal/unconstitutional orders!

Your mom sounds exactly like mine. That woman could write a check ten times bigger than her ass could cash. When I was a kid, even the men on our block knew better than to tangle with her, and the local kids were completely terrified of her.

She was a petite little thing, but had a mouth and an attitude that could make the toughest guys back down. Unfortunately, out of her seven kids, I was most like her, and she and I have been tangling for almost 60 years .. LOL

I'vw heard the story that among the highlanders the women would hide the men's swords, both so that a local dispute would not turn to blood and also so when the English came raiding they would not find weapons and imprison their men as rebels.

But when there was just cause for an uprising, it was the women who would be pulling the battleaxes out of the wells and the swords from their hiding places in the thatch and laying them across their husbands' knees, bidding them to war.

Moral of the story, tick off a Scot and you'll get a drubbing, tick off a Scottish woman and the countryside will be drapin your innards on the heather for the crows' Sunday dinner...
