Great idea! My son wants a Mosin Nagant (probably misspelled that, but it’s late and I’m tired). Local dealer has a couple dozen in stock... His birthday is coming up.... hmm
You must be in CT, MA, NY, or CA. Ain’t gonna happen in TX, LA, AL, GA, FL, OK, AK, AR, AZ, TN or MS. Sorry, may have missed a few.
I’m sorry you feel that way. I disagree with you and I’ll bet there are millions upon millions of our fellow Americans that would disagree with you also. So what is your plan when the SHTF? Just gonna roll over? Just take what is dished out by these bastards that would/will try and take from you and your loved ones? Or are you ready to try and ‘right the ship’ when the time comes?
By whatever euphemism you choose - passing the event horizon, over the precipice, crossing the Rubicon, “Alea iacta est” - it’s begun.
Thanks, Old Sarge. Post of the Century.
Good Lord,,,, and I thought response #8 displayed pessimism. You are going to blatantly profess to the patriots of FR that there is no solution?
For Your Children
At the cost of being the bearer of bad news,,,, there will be no future for the children if you are a pessimist. We are American citizens, NOT sheeple. If you feel that there is nothing that can be done than may I suggest that you remain out of our way....
The jackass knows the power the 2nd Amendment gives to the citizens, and it’s his intention to take that away.
Maybe he has fantasies about emulating Putin.
Yea you did!!!! You forgot the Carolinas. No problem,,,, I know you meant to include us.
Hello bobby,
Some comments regarding “So what is your plan when the SHTF?” Can you define SHTF? SHTF has been going on for many, many, decades. I am sure you have heard of the boiling frog anecdote. So I am curious as to what you would define as SHTF, or “the balloon going up”, or whatever. It will different for everyone. Each person is an individual when it comes to this definition.
I alluded to the states. Notice how some states get what is going on, and some don’t. I believe we need make sure that we are in those states that get what is going on. Within those states we don’t need to be individuals, but we will be able to act collectively and together. I am not going to write a dissertation here on this topic, but take a look at the threads where some states are supportive of its people. That is where we need to be. That is how we will be ready to ‘right the ship’ when the time comes. Not as individuals, but as citizens of a state.
Little barry bastard boy is hoping that gun owners will finally start to use what he wants to take from them, so he can declare martial law and rule for his masters like he longs to.
Apology deeply accepted. I know in my heart your a Patriot and an American. Let’s “Git er done”.
Thank you my fellow tower crane operator. I really didn’t drop anything on my boss’s head though I’d have gently liked to LOL.
Can’t help but wonder if my tagline inspired it. :)
Um.
Surely you must know by now that John Boner is of the enemy.
People really need to stop living in fantasy land.
You’re right, I did forget the Carolinas. I knew That I would leave out a few that I should have included.
Reminds me of a Dilbert cartoon I saw once. Dilbert's boss is sitting at his desk and is telling Dilbert "change is good. You go first."
I see that here. Two forms of despair. "logical me" and others just throwing in the towel, because, I don't know, maybe it's just in their personalities. They've given up hope and they want everyone else to give up so they can, I don't know, feel better about being the wisest among us? I can't reach where that's coming from.
Don't misunderstand. I've made mistakes and believed in people I shouldn't have. But my optimism is incurable. I see God working out His plan no matter how powerful the forces of darkness think they are. He will laugh at them all in the end.
But there is another form of despair. I see it in your response. Do I understand you to be saying you want an armed revolution now, and that you will declare the situation hopeless if that doesn't happen? That's my understanding, and if I'm wrong, I apologize in advance.
But if I'm right, if that's what you mean, then I'd call that an ill-begotten despair, of no use in restoring the country I am sure we both love. Despair ends up cutting the nerve of action. Given a false choice between all out war or all out surrender, people will choose surrender, because they are not ready for war.
That is not how we should be managing this conflict. It's a sure way to lose it. We need people engaged all the way to the flashpoint, so that the transition, if there must be one (and I do think it might be avoided), has the full momentum of the people behind it. We do that by getting people who are standing still to crawl, those who are crawling to walk, and those who are walking to run, etc.
What if the Founders' plan is actually still workable? What if we can muster a long succession of electoral victories and begin to roll back, by virtue of overwhelming numbers, the advances of our opponents?
Conversely, what if we had a Tea Party equivalent to Ruby Ridge or Waco? What came of those events? I am willing to die for my country. I am not willing to throw my life away, or the lives of my family, or the lives of my friends here, for actions that not only will not be effective in our cause, but actions that may well harm the cause of freedom.
No, like Solomon has said, there is a time for war, and a time for peace. When we come to that transition, we cannot act like a thousand individual Randy Weavers. It will serve no purpose. We must come together as a unit, by tens and hundreds of thousands, under qualified leadership, with as much support from within the system as it is possible to retain. There is no possibility of victory without maximizing momentum. Only then will our would-be oppressors come to understand that "consent of the governed" is not a mere suggestion, but a physical reality that cannot long be denied.
So if some are having trouble now with boating accidents, then perhaps it is as Solomon said elsewhere: Cast your guns upon the water, and after many days they will come back to you, when you really need them. OK, very loose paraphrase there, but you see the principle.
I wasn’t an operator. I built with some of the ‘parts and pieces’ you guys hoisted up off of the semis parked at street level.
Don’t forget Missouri - Kansas City and St. Louis excluded.
America is NOT finished until we run out of ammo, shovels, knives and rocks.
A copy of the Special Forces handbook should be on every shelf of every patriot in the country.
I knew that Obama and his people were communists, power-hungry ideologues and crooks, but I never thought that they would succeed like they have.
The only thing they don’t have is guts, and we have plenty.
Let’s see how this plays out in Connecticut. Hoping the sane people up there drive him out of state to Canada, along with his psycho friends and politicians.
