Thanks Jen, for sharing. Rest assured that there must be a whole bunch of us that "don't get it". The asshats diatribe is typical and there is NO changing their view of anything. But, then, they are SOOOOOO much smarter than the rest of us. LOL!

[basil]

Just want to mention that girls with guns can dictate policy, too-----

[MeshugeMikey]

who are we to deny Harry Reid his retirement ranch land...

"'Guys with Guns Dictate Policy'"

Always have, always will.

[Lazamataz]

‘Guys with Guns Dictate Policy’

Yes, the Feral Government DOES have a lot of guns, and they DO employ those guns to dictate policy. This author is CORRECT!

Oh, wait... that’s not what the environmentalist she was talking to, meant?

[Gaffer]

Rational, self-professed peaceful and open people like the author describes having a conversation with, are EXACTLY like the totalitarian goons that became the Gestapo, the SS, the STASI, the KGB, et al. Mild mannered (in their eyes) ideologues with educations that bespeak of peaceful endeavors, but somehow always gravitating towards socialism, communism - totalitarianism.

It is only after they have progressed and consolidated their hegemony to the point they can exact their ‘final solution’ and graduate to blowing your brains out beside an open ditch or gassing you and tossing your carcass in an oven.

I’d say the best policy is to preemptively dispatch them and save the rebellion the cost of a trial, but that would be terroristic, so I shan’t.

[null and void]

Mao was right. Political power does grow out of the barrel of a gun.

That's why the Founding Fathers blessed us with a Second Amendment.

[Rusty0604]

“It’s striking how totalitarian the “sit-in” hippies have become. They used to protest government for being too powerful. But now, they think it’ll never be quite powerful enough until guns are taken away from the people.”

I grew up in the bay area and have some liberal friends that still long for the days of the hippies. When I point out to them that most of the old hippies are now big gov’t totalitarians they really can’t argue with it.

[Sherman Logan]

George Washington said, "Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."

In 1794 Washington, as President, personally led an army of 13,000 militia against armed protesters against the federal government's tax policies.

How analogous the Whiskey Rebellion is to the Sagebrush Rebellion is, of course, debatable.

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

Those who beat their swords into plowshares wind up plowing for those who kept their swords. Ask Putin.

[Billthedrill]

I've ceased debating the matter with liberals - for them the question isn't "should people own guns?" but "how do we fool you into taking yours?"

"Imagine a world without guns," one of them bleated in a local rag not too long ago. It's easy, actually: Genghis Khan.

[Mariner]

"sad that guys with guns could dictate policy."

How is that different than all of human history?

You are either the master of your own life and the citizen of a republic, or you are a slave.

The left would have us all be slaves.

Guns are the only way now in the west. The courts refuse to recognize the precedents set in Hage v US and refuse the enjoin the BLM from repeated their behaviors found unlawful.

What other option is there?

[sergeantdave]

Next time, let’s throw tortoises at the BLM.

[B4Ranch]

As a Potential Domestic Terrorist, I stand proudly ready to defend my Country against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

This is #1 of 78 videos on the subject. It might be an idea to download them all considering what happened at the Bundy Ranch this past week.<

SNIPER 101 Part 1 - Introduction - Rex Reviews

Snipers, hunters, target shooters, ladies and gentlemen... Finally, Rex Reviews releases this long awaited free online long range shooting / sniper tutorial. TiborasaurusRex will walk you through everything you will need to know about sniper ammunition and cartridge selection, rifle and equipment options, basic and advanced external ballistics, making effective ballistic charts, rangefinders and distance determination, long range marksmanship, shooter / spotter team dynamics and communication, choosing a FFP, making the shot, spotting the shot, and much more.

This course goes far beyond what is covered in the U.S. Army FM23-10. So, if you can't make it to Quantico or the AMTU to learn these long range shooting skills, this video tutorial series will have you covered. We will get you set up to make amazingly accurate first round shots at 1 mile and beyond. Do you want to be able to zap that white tail buck at 1,275 yards and be confident it will be a nice clean kill? Watch this series!

All law abiding men and women in the free world who treasure their rifles MUST have these long range shooting skills for the continuation of our shooting culture and for the future preservation of our wonderful nation! Peace is beautiful, insure it by sharing these marksmanship skills with your friends and families to exponentially increase our nations already robust defense stature against. Stay clean, obey the law, and keep smiling.

I think everyone needs a hobby and I'd like to suggest one that may just possibly become a popular patriotic one - learning to shoot at long range targets. Have you ever wished you could hit a small target that is 3000 feet away? Yes, 1000 yards seems like a long distance but it does not require that you spend $5000 on your equipment. 1,000 yard BUDGET RIFLE! .243 at 1,021 yards - REX Reviews

Do you want a real budget rifle? How about a target that's 944 yards away. Nail it with a M91 Mosin Nagant - using 7N1 Sniper Ammo and no scope! That's right just IRON SIGHTS!

Look at the course that Rex has designed for everyone. Here are some of his video titles on Long Range Shooting.
