“He who knows when he can fight, and when he cannot, will be victorious.”-- Sun Tsu, The Art of War translated ” by Samuel B. Griffith. (Foreword by B.H. Liddell Hart), Oxford University Press edition, 1982 -------- ( westernrifleshooters.blogspot.com/ ) Never Give Up Your Weapons "In 149 BC, half a million citizens of Carthage tried to appease Rome by turning over their armaments. But instead of buying peace, they only facilitated their own destruction. Ninety percent of the Carthaginians were killed, and the city of Carthage was razed. Those who survived were sold into slavery, and Carthaginian civilization was forever wiped from the face of the earth."www.namsouth.com/viewtopic.php?t=3829www.americanthinker.com/2010/05/never_give_up_your_weapons.html

Those that beat their swords into plows, plows for those that didn't.

For a govt to be a dictatorship the people must be disarmed that is why we have never had one here in the U.S., DO NOT EVEN LET THEM TRY TO REGISTER FIREARMS as this will lead to confiscation

They can have my rifle when I'm out of ammo, reloading supplies, the bayonet lug is broke off, and the butt stock is broke. It's a good thing I have more than one, because that one would be in real bad shape.

My rifle is only a tool. I am the weapon. Without my rifle, I will have to rely on far more vicious and unsavory means of defending myself.

Sedition what you say is true ,but only like hefferman1 said when we are out of ammo I did not say to only use those methods, when we are out of ammo. I am for using other methods when it is the correct time to do so. Beside I like Claymores as much as the next guy. I said I'd give up my rifle when it was useless. As for using other things, wait till we have the moral high ground, then put them together(only then are they assembled, stay legal) and use them in a smart way, that limits collateral damage. I agree with Sedition, that the real weapon is our minds. Exercise your mind learn new things, learn about old things, become the weapon. That almost sounded zin like didn't it?

I said I'd give up my rifle when it was useless. My Mosin Nagant 91/30 is never useless. If I extend the bayonet, I can spear someone from 15 ft. ;D

They are called none re-loadable for a reason. They can be reloaded, but it is a big issue.
