I have long thought that it is not the actual physical disarming of the population that would be our undoing.

It is the brainwashing of younger generations and the erosion of independant spirit and plain old guts that is the greater danger.

We can already see the great success liberals have had in creating a dependant, compliant, mostly urban culture who think it is extreme to own guns and to expect government to honor the Constitution and govern within its bounds.


A good point, but these are also the same people who play Grand Theft Auto, Medal of Honor, etc. In other words Gamers who have been subtly programmed to use hand held weapons in a very efficient and conscious free manner.

They also are primed to resist authority and although they wouldn’t be acting out of patriotism their actions might just have the same effect.

True enough.

But many (most?) of us learned our skills out of doors and often with the target firing back.

In years to come I am guessing two of the main threats to the republic would be:

The sheeple that support politicians like Obama and his anti-constitutional regime.

A military that eventually becomes another welfare program and is staffed heavily with Affirmative Action types.

Good God, if you want to see something that will make you wet your pants, check out some of the YouTube videos of these Airsoft kids.

I've seen videos of 14 year old girls shoot like it's hardwired into their DNA.

A little weapons familiarization and these kids would be able to go head to head with any combat unit in the world.
