Here we go again. The statist boot lickers never give up.

Their goal is nothing short than the total disarmanent and slavery of the American people. The bastards are just as much a threat to our Republic as Islamic terrorists are.

If these idiots continue pushing their half of the nation (the sheeple half yearning to be protected only by Big Shepherd)in this direction, we are eventually going to have to settle this issue with a war.

That's the bad news. The good news is that they would lose.

... well, they too sorely underestimate the effectiveness of the 15 million hunting rifles.

I hope that my book serves as a clarion call to wake them up to this unpleasant (for them) reality before we need to actually go there.

If they read it ... it cannot help but do that ... unless they are so hardened and committed to their course that they are beyond redemption IMHO, and thus they become ...

Enemies Foreign and Domestic.

One day either us or folks like us down the road are going to have to settle this unless a profound calamity occurs that will shock folks back into the real world and they'll be too busy simply surviving to worry about petty crap like social engineering and constitutional dilution....neither is a pretty resolution but that's about the only hope I see. If we lose, then it's game over for the individual here.

I hate to think it will take a major WMD attack and economic collapse to turn us from our course, but that may be reality. But that would be just exchanging the frying pan for the fire, and leave us in possibly a worse condition with even less freedom, ruled by tyrants and warlords emerging from the ashes. Hopefully some of the gun gestapo politicians will hear about the book, read it, and wake up in time to the disastrous course they are steering for the nation, and for themselves personally.

Writers like Alex Gerber look at an elephant and see a snake and a tree and think they are in the garden of eden.

They tune out the three ton beast in front of them.

Thanks my friend. Weather here has been mild too ... though we are getting quite a bit of moisture ... meaning snow in the mountians saved for the summer in the valleys.

I'll be in touch soon. Volume III is about 4-6 weeks out.

Thank you.

... and I look forward to your comments and thoughts.

Volume III is about 4-6 weeks from publication. I and II are doing well for a self-published work.

Hi John, good to see you again. Where is thefiringline gang going these days?

I've also got some questions to ask you about how book for sale are picked by and distributed to gun stores.

Great Rant! That's a thread worthy post on its own, and worth bookmarking the thread for for later use.

The islamists will give us the choice of conversion or death. The statists have the same goal, only their religion is different. Eventually we will be marched onto trains at government machine gun point as incorrigible reactionaries, or we will resist with arms.

To the asshole who wrote this article: tyranny and dictatorships are just as much in fashon today as they were during our founding fathers' time. Private gun ownership is just as necessary in today's world, if not more so, than it was two centuries ago.

Related topic: did you happen to see the Time new year double issue with the "Women Whistleblowers" on the cover? Dig it up if you can.

Inside is a TEN PAGE homage to NY Atty General Elliot Spitzer under the (gag) headline "CRUSADER OF THE YEAR". (!!!!THERMONUCLEAR BARF ALERT!!!!)

The article is mostly about his entire life and about his crusade against eeee-vil corporate crooks, but we know him as one of the most strident and hardcore gun grabbers in the country. He is open in calling for the virtual banning of guns by putting 1,000% taxes on ammo, banning any bullets (deer rifle) capable of defeating police vests, etc.

This ten page article was purely a puff piece, and the subtext on every page was "Presidential Timber!" and "Elect This Man President ASAP!" Clearly the lamestream media is going to pull out all the stops to advance the careers of gun grabbers like Spitzer.

Now that is a scary thought, and Spitzer is not alone on his side.

That's true, because the instruments of tyranny are orders of magnitude stronger today than 200 years ago.

King George could not have imagined today's total surveillance society, and the power it would have given him.

Our founding fathers would have been identified and preemptively dealt with before they could have had their first meetings.

Can you say "President Spitzer?"

I can't.
