I don't recognize my America any more. She isn't as beautiful as I remember. She is scared, beaten and bruised. But I still fight for her, because I love her. This is going to be a long and painful fight. There is no getting away from it now. We are going to war with these tyrants. Why it hasn't started yet is beyond me. But with state government following in lock step with the fed government, there is no stopping it. There is a way to stop them, the trouble is it is bloody, and we want to avoid it if possilbe. However we can not avoid it, if the other side keeps pushing.

They will go after the ammo. This is something some of us have feared for a long time.
We will have to adjust to this, by rolling our own.
If the Jewish people could do it in Palestine when under the British Mandate, then so can we.
Black market ammo anyone?

Quannah Parker and the rise and fall of the Comanches; the most powerful Indian tribe in American History. Author S.C.Gwynne I read this book last year. While I am a history buff, I did not know this tidbit of American history; until the advent of Sam Colt's revolver, the Comanche ruled the midwest from Canada clear down to Mexico. Their horsemanship was far superior to any other tribe at that time, and their ability to fire 12 arrows a minute while riding pretty much kept the Texans from going any further west. The revolver gave the Rangers the ability to keep up in a firefight, and eventually turned the tide. The Comanche were only about 20,000 total in number; seems their ability to breed was actually impaired by their riding habits. Women miscarried more often than not and they were, in the end, unable to replace their own numbers. But the military lesson here, is that a small mobile band of guerrillas ruled the midcontinent for forty years or so. The bigger lesson we have to grasp is; guerrilla warfare FAILED against a government far less armed that today's government. Perhaps we should be picking apart why, and analyzing the pacification of the American Indian. Simple the Comanche did not fight smart, like later guerrilla forces learned to do. They attacked even when they did not have the advantage, and once engaged, they did not disengage when it was advantageous to do so. The Comanche also did not take the war to the whites homes. It was a defensive war, and a defensive war only brings defeat. The Comanche and other Indian Tribes were also starved, by the Buffalo hunting industry.

This just proves what I said, they have an agenda, they don't care if it is legal, or anything else.
They will do it.
Then we must answer, or accept their chains.

www.americanthinker.com/2013/01/dangerous_old_men.htmlEverybody knows a Walt Kowalski. He is the grizzled Korean War veteran Clint Eastwood played in the movie Gran Torino. A man who spends his days sitting on the porch, keeping his house and yard immaculate, satisfied to drink his cheap beer while watching his neighborhood and country go to hell around him. He is an anachronism, a dinosaur -- part of the old America where you worked hard, took pride in your work and where you lived, and fought for your country and what it stood for when called upon. Armed with his M1 Garand rifle and 1911 .45 pistol he brought back from the war, he put new meaning in "Get off my lawn." Fewer have heard of Ben Mitchell, who features in the book Enemies Foreign and Domestic. Mitchell is a former Vietnam-era Green Beret operative who paralyzes Washington, D.C. by crippling the Woodrow Wilson Bridge. (Again, spoilers follow.) Though not terminally ill -- yet -- Mitchell does not see much of a future ahead of him and is angered about his friend being set up by the federal government during an unconstitutional gun-grab passed in the heat of the moment by legislators after a tragedy. Before losing his life, however, he manages to take out most of the federal law enforcement team sent against him. There are over twenty-five million veterans in the United States -- among them many Walt Kowalskis -- and most of them are gun owners. Some of them remember the horrors of the concentration camps and of communism. Others are from the Vietnam era and remember what awaited them when they came home. They see John Kerry, the same man who threw his medals over the White House fence and was photographed with Jane Fonda and the North Vietnamese, nominated as secretary of state. They remember. ObamaCare, where you get painkillers instead of treatment because you are old? They have heard this. They have been spat at and vilified before, and now, with time running out for them, and the America that they knew seemingly fading away, many will say, "At one time, I was asked to write a check to my country for up to and including my life. Do I need to do it again?" This is a great read and worth the time. PS I'm not old yet, so this has to include some middle aged men too.

What the Judge says on Guns. www.judgenap.com/index.php?post=my-latest-column-guns-and-freedomWhen Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence that we are endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights, he was marrying the nation at its birth to the ancient principles of the natural law that have animated the Judeo-Christian tradition in the West. Those principles have operated as a break on all governments that recognize them by enunciating the concept of natural rights. But we did not give up any natural rights; rather, we retained them. It is the choice of every individual whether to give them up. Neither our neighbors nor the government can make those choices for us, because we are all without the moral or legal authority to interfere with anyone else’s natural rights. Since the government derives all of its powers from the consent of the governed, and since we each lack the power to interfere with the natural rights of another, how could the government lawfully have that power? It doesn’t. Were this not so, our rights would not be natural; they would be subject to the government’s whims. To assure that no government would infringe the natural rights of anyone here, the Founders incorporated Jefferson’s thesis underlying the Declaration into the Constitution and, with respect to self-defense, into the Second Amendment. As recently as two years ago, the Supreme Court recognized this when it held that the right to keep and bear arms in one’s home is a pre-political individual right that only sovereign Americans can surrender and that the government cannot take from us, absent our individual waiver.

I don't believe all the conspiracy theories. I never have. The evidence fit, for the official story. Basic logic and Ockham's Razor has shown most conspiracy theories are full of holes. This is blowing my mind. I am including another video that shows the girl Emilie Parker alive. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzEgrUwfeU4The evidence doesn't fit. Plain and simple.

Let us also not forget Samuel Adams response to those who wished to avoid a fight when it was time to fight.
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
“It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”
“The Constitution shall never be construed to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.”

We need to remember the men who stood and fought a similar fight to the one we face today. First Patrick Henrys speech at St. Johns Church in Richmond, VA. www.historyplace.com/speeches/henry.htmNo man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope that it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen, if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty towards the majesty of heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings. Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth -- to know the worst and to provide for it. I have but one lamp by which my feet are guided; and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years, to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House? Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with these warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation -- the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motives for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer on the subject? Nothing. We have held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves longer. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne. In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If we wish to be free -- if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been so long contending -- if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained, we must fight! I repeat it, sir, we must fight! An appeal to arms and to the God of Hosts is all that is left us! They tell us, sir, that we are weak -- unable to cope with so formidable an adversary. But when shall we be stronger? Will it be the next week, or the next year? Will it be when we are totally disarmed, and when a British guard shall be stationed in every house? Shall we gather strength by irresolution and inaction? Shall we acquire the means of effectual resistance, by lying supinely on our backs, and hugging the delusive phantom of hope, until our enemies shall have bound us hand and foot? Sir, we are not weak, if we make a proper use of the means which the God of nature hath placed in our power. Three millions of people, armed in the holy cause of liberty, and in such a country as that which we possess, are invincible by any force which our enemy can send against us. Besides, sir, we shall not fight our battles alone. There is a just God who presides over the destinies of nations, and who will raise up friends to fight our battles for us. The battle, sir, is not to the strong alone; it is to the vigilant, the active, the brave. Besides, sir, we have no election. If we were base enough to desire it, it is now too late to retire from the contest. There is no retreat but in submission and slavery! Our chains are forged! Their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston! The war is inevitable -- and let it come! I repeat it, sir, let it come! It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, "Peace! Peace!" -- but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! Patrick Henry - March 23, 1775

That was an honest heart touching look at what many of us see and feel.
I too hate what I see coming, but know it can not be avoided, except by slinking away in slaves chains.
I too hear the forging of slavery's chains, and see they are being forged for fellow Americans. I can not allow this to happen, while there is still breath in my body.
I don't want to kill, but I will if I must. I don't want to die, but I will if I must, and then I will face a just God. Knowing I am covered by the blood of the lamb, and have done my duty.
An old Samurai saying is "Duty is as heavy as iron, but death is as light as a feather". Duty maybe as heavy as iron, but it puts a steel in your back, that makes facing Death as light as a feather.
I commit myself into Gods hands, I will do my duty, He will keep me safe, or welcome me home.

David's response was: And to rub salt into the wound, the idiot said that the country was a perpetual union. That would be the perpetual union under the Articles of Confederation which was illegally abolished by the Constitution. And of course he had to quote the Tyrant. I thought the same thing. Quoting the Tyrant who arrested the Press, used fraud to win elections, and jumped around for joy, when told of the rape and murder of women and children.

Those are good points.
That is also why, some people I know are building foundries, machine shops, and everything needed to roll their own.
I am talking the ability to make primers and powder. The ability to make rifles and pistols from scrap.
If the Jewish people were able to make weapons under the British blockade of Palestine, then so can we.
Do you know how to make a workable RPG? Can you make a claymore mine? Can you make a mortar and rounds? Can you make advanced weapons?
There are those of us, who can, and will if we have to.
Learn how to do these things, now while there is time, and the info is available.
Get the items needed to do these things.
However do not do anything illegal, till they over step and remove the rule of law.
They can pass what laws they want, or sign what they want. The American people will not be disarmed, and be made into slaves.
It is part of your and my job to be prepared to face whatever they do, and to lead.
PS They most dangerous places in America are Wal-Mart, good hardware stores, junk yards, Federal Deposit Libraries, and the Internet.

Here is a view into the twisted minds of these libs who want to take other peoples rights. www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-01-10/guest-post-where-does-hatred-constitutionalism-comeIt is probable that they have run into a Liberty Movement proponent (most of whom are well versed in history, politics, and economics) at least once in their lives, went in for an attack, and were utterly destroyed. Their inferiority exposed, they learn to detest anything associated with constitutionalism. Nothing angers those who seek power more than a legal framework which they are not allowed to touch, or shift, or “tweak” to suit their private ambitions. Even an amendment that undermines our civil liberties is not legally binding. The freedoms put forth in the Constitution and the Bill Of Rights are SET IN STONE (and this includes the right to bear arms in common use of the military of our day). They cannot be undone without destroying the very fabric of the republic. To deny constitutionalism, is to endorse oppression. May we forever rebel against the agents of “progress”. May we forever give them something to hate.

It's clear they are coming for our guns.The question is.Are we going to wait until they kick in the door,or catch them on the lawn?...... Forget that. When they sign that thing, it removes all protection they have under the Constitution. Our Founders refused to ratify the Constitution, until the Bill of Rights was included. That makes it part of the original agreement. It is like trading with someone, and they demand a little boot to make the deal work. Our founders demanded the Bill of Rights as boot to make the deal work. if you take out that part, the deal is nulified. When they sign whatever they sign, I go hunting. I don't care what they call me, or say. It is my duty to defend our God Given Inalienable Rights as Enumerated in the Bill of Rights, and accepted as part of the Constitution. Period. End of Story.

Forgive me Sir, you and I agree. I was simply trying to state (inarticulately it seems), that we react to their illegal actions. I completely agree with your line in the sand. I was trying to say that we not initiate an armed response based exclusively on their provocations and threats. I agree, but the moment they sign that piece of paper, or pass it in the House all bets are off. It is then time to start pulling triggers. That is the same as the British going after the guns. The Colonist did not wait till the British had the guns to fight back, and neither shall I. I will not give 1 inch. I will not comply. I will resist with force. So help me God!

Reminds me of the Restore the Constitution Rallies we participated in. Although it is far more impressive having a few dozen or more armed citizens exercising their Rights at the same time. When turning back the tide... You've gotta start somewhere. Our enemies will spin any pro-RKBA initiative as "extreme"/"gun nuts"/"dangerous"... We need to stop being so concerned about what our declared enemies say about us. Let our actions speak for us. I agree. They will call us terrorist, just as the British called George Washington a terrorist. They will say we are mad, just as they said the men who signed the Declaration of Independence were mad. So be it. I have no control over what they call me. I do have control over my actions, and it I will stand or not. I have chosen to stand, and stand I will no matter what.

They expressed what many on here have expressed.
They will defend their God Given Inalienable Rights, as they are enumerated in the Bill of Rights. No matter what.
This is a choice all of us must make. You know how I feel on this.
The next choice is what do you do when they sign their executive order? Some will say no and hope it passes over. Some will say no and work to defend their homes, or retreats.
I will not wait for it to pass over me. I will not set still and defend my home.
This is a War for the Freedom of this country. Just as the Patriots who gathered at Concord Bridge, went to the sound of gun fire so shall I. When they sign that paper, they remove any protection the Constitutional Laws of this country gives them.
I will start hunting the government thugs who support this, and the people who sent them.
I don't care what they call me, terrorist, outlaw, criminal, crazy, racist, or whatever.
I will stand as a Patriot. I will keep my Oath. So help me God!
