The primary fight is over communications, not guns. Guns are important, but as much for the attitude that they create as for the actual ability to shoot tyrants. Those who would enslave us hate the idea that people have that they *could* fight. It gives an independence of mind.
Here is an old but good one. The key to the government disarming the people is registration, and the attitude of the people has gotten more and more against registration:
Gun Registration is Gun Confiscation:

The problem the “progressive” statists have is that they know they are losing it. They have lost the debate on gun control, and sales of appropriate militia weapons are breaking records. They have lost the MSM oligopoly on information flow, more people are getting more truth than ever before. The slow trend toward tyranny has ground to a halt, and they have to push for all or nothing. If they lose the coming election, they have lost their chance for generations...
How desperate and delusional will they be? What incredible risks will they be willing to take??
“...and you will comply. ...”
Deliberately provocative article, designed to elicit reactions from gunnies.
He projects his own cowardice onto others, just like every other liberal *sshole.
Just chuckle at the fool, that’s all.
I think a few thousand more IRS agents will be quite sufficient
Spirited: Yes indeed. And let’s add to the mix a large-helping of green evangelicalism. Get people to worship Gaia and they’ll self-censor, self-limit, and eventually self-destruct. They’ll finally see that they themselves are the cause of every evil and that demographic suicide is the only answer.
It’s one thing to plan for the worst, it’s quite another to be an unthinking pessimist ready to roll over in submission.
BUT, I have experienced standing up for what is right and I STOOD ALONE, and I thought I was surrounded by men of like mind.
If, due to practical issues, I am forced to surrender my guns (lost recently in an unfortunate boating accident), I know where to find more. Every seargent’s patrol car in Los Angeles has an assault rifle in the trunk. If the government arms the “Weather Service” that will make more arms available to the people.
That is what they don’t understand. The more they arm themselves, the more there is to take from them. Then there will be the units who done go along, and the supply personnel. And event individual troops who side against the government secretly.
What of nations who don’t what a JBT USA? Think they wouldn’t smuggle guns to a resistance?
Last, a tommy gun can be made in a home garage. Guns aren’t that hard to make, and we can’t stop drug labs and pot growers..
So to such a JBT government I have only one thing to say. Good luck and make your peace with God.
Sadly, yes, because even the Marines are being indoctrinated to believe the Constitution is soemthing that 'wise leaders' can change at will based upon what they tell those Marines 'must be done' to save the nation. The oath a Marine takes will be used to persuade him that he has a duty the little barry bastard commies in Amerika define, and since that MArine has been a product of the public education programming, he will be loayl to the masters.
I've stood alone myself. I'm prepared to do the same thing again if it comes to it. That is all I can do after all.
With a little effort, stuff can be personally delivered right to your door!
Your argument is one side is very well equipped & informed, and by making the first move can overwhelm their targets in short order.
CodeToad’s argument is that side is vastly out-numbered, so much so that just their former-fellow operators out-number ‘em by a wide margin AND are anticipating a full-on showdown. These targets may not make the first move, but they can move fast in response and, even in losing, will leave at best decimated forces behind to move on to the next target. Repeated 10% losses soon leave little to operate with.
Yes, gov’t ability must not be underestimated. Goes for the reverse, too. 10M targets wouldn’t have anyone to fight.
There is an old principle in combat, dating back to The Art Of War: let the opponent make the first move. At that moment, the opponent is committed to an action, and you are free to counter - a tremendous advantage. If this is unclear to anyone, I recommend reading Art Of War again, more slowly.
“When They Come For Your Guns, You Will Turn Them Over I will, and check ‘em for a pulse.....”
ROFLMABO!!! Nice.
“...Go hide. Run away. Or worse, capitulate....”
It never fails to amaze me when the other side so blatantly states their hearts’ desire, as this author clearly does, but naively thinks that the pain they want to inflict on others, via state-sponsored lethal force, won’t be reciprocated upon themselves and those that order and condone said violence.
Mr. Karger needs to realize that it works BOTH ways.
There’s a sizable chunk of folks in this country - with some pretty scary skillsets - that WON’T engage a Marine platoon...he’s correct; instead, they’ll take advantage of the opportunity to finally rid the country of the traitors and subversives walking amongst us - you know, those same sort of idiots who write articles like this to deliberately provoke bloodshed.
Karger and his ilk should be careful what they wish for; I’m not sure they really understand what goes around, comes around.
And our GENERALS are now openly waving their gay pride flags.. If this scenario plays out before the entire military goes gay, there’s gonna be a few dead high-ranking fags scattered about.
What kind of army do you think they’d have with such political appointees? Trust me, such as they even with the firepower advantage, won’t be the obstacle that they should be.
Typical liberal: Make insulting insinuations, snide remarks, and when called on it claim the other guy was doing it but not them, cry ‘victim!’ and walk off.
Sorry, but that’s a far cry from “mass communication”. Also, back in those days, the citizens were armed and organized, and just waiting for a signal. Even if you could still send the same signals, there are no Minutemen on the other end waiting to take up arms with you.
My late father’s specialty (as a 3 war Marine) was guerrilla warfare. He served as an adviser in Nam in 63-64.
When he returned he lamented on how our leaders had never understood guerrilla warfare, of our hubris that sheer massive, blunt force could always do it. He told me in 1964 we were going to be bogged down, spend a lot of blood, then the politicians would pull us out. He didn’t have anything nice to say about Gen Westmoreland either.
The end game for overt military repression in this country, as envisioned by this author, is a quagmire of proportions never seen in modern times. A lot of patriot blood will be spilled. The oppressors will (I guarantee this) resort to the same sort of tactics that the Germans used in WW2 to subdue large areas with limited troops. Brutality, mass murder to intimidate; dragging people from their homes at night & people disappearing. And the use of informants and traitors, of which there will be plenty, make no mistake about that.
Listen to the absolutely sickening hatred publicly espoused by so many of the left. They will be standing in line to get their brown shirts and arm bands. They will delight in the torture and murder of patriots.
But they will not win.
Sure, isolated incidents can be handled easily by paramilitary SWAT teams and the like.
Probably ninety percent of SWAT are just poorly selected and trained SEALS wannabees. The can’t even find the right house. They panic if under fire.
They are tough stuff against collies and jack russells, and suprised people in their beds. But LEOs have made a religion out of making it home. So how well do you think they’d fair against a large and increasingly organized opponent?
“At that moment, the opponent is committed to an action, and you are free to counter - a tremendous advantage. “
The old adage, No plan survives first contact with the enemy, is exactly your comment. You *think* you know what they intend or are capable of, but then you find out the truth. Often, the enemy is not as well organized or equipped as you thought and their actions are haphazard and confusing.
Tactical planning seems to always assume an intelligent, brave, organized, trained, and well equipped enemy: We like to be arrogant in our planning as to think only such an enemy would dare challenge us. However, it gets real confusing when the other guy is an idiot and their actions are haphazard. Our military is that way: They expect Queensberry rules in war but get confused when the other side doesnt play by any rules.
And we are everywhere...
“They will be standing in line to get their brown shirts and arm bands.”
Very true, but that also brings back the point that while patriotic Americans are not organized, neither are they. While they take time to collect those arm bands, we take that time to collect our resources and ourselves.
