What are we doing to tell the world the truth, "When guns are outlawed, then only the outlaws have guns"
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are endowed with certain inalienable rights, among these the right to LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Defending one’s own life is a natural, God-given right.
It’s too bad the British were brainwashed to surrender this.
Communism requires its citizens to be unarmed. And if per chance you have a gun and defend yourself, you have committed a violent crime. Communism protect the criminal. We are damn near there.
The only reason private citizens can still own guns is the 2nd Amendment. The staunchest, and most effective, defender of the 2nd Amendment is the NRA. Private gun ownership of guns is the biggest impediment to the liberals goal of a totalitarian socialist state and they know it. Many of them have said publicly repeal of the 2nd Amendment is one of their highest goals. If Obama is reelected expect a renewed and furious attack on private guns and the 2nd Amendment. I am a Life Member of the NRA and a Florida CCW holder and donate money their legal fund. Gun owners have been having a few good years but liberals never give up and never go away. We could lose it all is we relax our vigilance any.
Florida already has self defense laws, including castle doctrine and stand your ground laws.
Prosecuiter Angela Corey has just nullified them.
Just wondering... does England have something like the 2nd Amendment codified into whatever their equivalent is of our constitution?
‘The “Aftermath Of Travon”: How The English Lost The Right To...’
How can you lose a right??
Remember the next time you have to go the DMV; The DMV was started as a registry of automobiles and their owners. Now look what it has become.
It is the nature of government to grow; It is the responsibility of a citizen to keep that from happening.
If our 'press' had their way, this is how we'd be forced to live too. Thank God for the NRA and our wise founding fathers...
Samuel Adams was too kind and didn't utilize the term 'useful idiots'.
It is better to die on your feet. Than live on your knees. Simply put. It would mean war.
I wonder if this Travon person is related to that TraYvon kid?
Three words would have saved Tony Martin a lot of trouble, “shoot, shovel, shut-up”. He was out in the country side, no one probably heard the shots so if he had bagged the second criminal all would have been well, plus his crops would have gotten a little bit extra fertilizer. And if he had gotten caught? Well how many life sentences can you give some one? Lesson here is never call the cops unless you really, really need to as they are nothing but trouble.
ping!
Buy ammo. And, do it correctly.....I have a few friends who still don't get it, ie: when I ask, "how much ammo do you have on hand?" I get a few answers of : Got plenty, plus 14 guns in the closet. Have 3 or 4 boxes of 12 ga, a couple for my kids .410, couple of boxes each for my 6 rifles, and a bunch of partial boxes for all my hand guns. I tell them that's fine if they can stay in the house and shoot out the windows, B-U-T if they need to run outside and shoot from behind the car or garage, they may find themselves in the do-do. One can only carry a couple of long guns (of different calibers) and a couple of handguns while on the run, along with their ammo. You shoot up those 3 - 20 round boxes of .30/06, 4 boxes of 7mm, 3 boxes of .45 ACP and you no longer have 3 guns....just 3 clubs.
Designate one shotgun, one rifle and one handgun as your primary "social unrest" home defense weapons and load up on the ammo for them. Having 20 guns doesn't do you any good if all you have is a few rounds for each. Kinda hard to watch out the FRONT living room window where the armed looters are moving around and dig through the BACK bedroom closet for more ammo. ("I KNOW I have at least a half box of .270 somewhere from last deer season......where the hell is it ???").
If you can't afford lots of expensive high caliber ammo, get a few bricks of .22 ammo. 300 rounds flying out that window from your .22 rifle and pistol may not drop a 250 lb man, but a wound in the arm with a .22 will slow him down, take him off the attack and put HIM on defense. Plus, with a bucket of .22 ammo, your wife and kid can easily load one gun while you shot the other.
Don't forget magazines / clips. It's great that you have 1 EXTRA mag that came with your favorite deer rifle, B-U-T a total of 2 mags with only 5 rounds each isn't going to last long until you hear "click" and stop shooting to reload them. If you can't get oversize mags, get a sack full of the "regular" ones.
AND, as noted by another FREEPER after my post; Ensure you have slings on your long guns, so you will have at least one hand free when on the move. If you don't want to "mess up the looks" of your beautiful 375 H & H Magnum with swivels and sling, at least have some precut lengths of small size rope or strapping handy to use for an 'emergency' sling. You can always tie it around the stock and forearm (or barrel) and throw it over your shoulder. It doesn't have to be 'pretty', just a temporary jerry-rig that could save your life.
We should have broken off diplomatic relations when Tony Martin of Emneth was arrested.

“When guns are outlawed, then only the outlaws have guns”

No, not only the outlaws will have guns but also the ruling elites, which is just as bad.
Do you really think that the elites will tell their bodyguards to carry down pillows from then on?
Outlawing of guns for law-abiding citizens is an indication that their lives have become of lesser value, as judged by the elites, and are no longer worthy of protection.
Bookmarked. Thanks.
