Ordinarily, I'd agree that THIS is no time to be arguing gun control. With the pain still intense in Connecticut, there should have been a truce declared, to allow for grieving. But the plain truth is, those who declare that a good crisis must not be wasted, jumped the gun (as they usually do) and began a nationwide PR war through the national Mainstream Media to bring as much pressure to bear as they possible could on our government for laws to ban certain guns, eventually ALL guns in the hands of US civilians. To those on the political and those pushing gun control -- in the childish naivete -- You need to understand two things: One -- Americans are NOT going to give up their guns! That's one. Number two is this: If you really want to begin a civil war in this country, continue your efforts to take those guns and you will most certainly have one, and I do not think you have any idea, any inkling, of just how ferocious and brutal such a war can be. If you thought for one moment that American gun owners would assume the fetal position and begin sucking their thumbs -- please allow me to disabuse you of that monstrously mistaken assumption! For the past four years gun owners across America have been planning for just such a move by the gun control crowd. They have been purchasing weapons in record numbers and they have created secret caches of both weapons and ammunition that you simply will not believe. I'd go so far as to say some are even "leaning forward," eager for the chance to protect the US Constitution. Look. Trying to confiscate Americans guns will erupt in pitched firefights, gun battles, between American civilians and government law officers. The government will, as Charlton Heston famously stated, have to "pry the weapons from their cold dead hands." Heck, the government might actually get away with a couple of such encounters before the backlash begins. But it will begin -- and when it does, there will be hell to pay. In the end, it will be the end of the United States as we know it. Understand. There are some states that will move to secede rather than obey federal laws that force their citizens to disarm. Other states will arrest and incarcerate federal officers attempting to disarm that states citizens within the physical boundaries of that state. I just don't think the gun control folks are thinking with their brains. They exude emotion -- PURE emotion, and a dangerous lack of common sense. What they are pushing for will bring nothing less than wreck and ruin to this country. Do you realize that the number of armed American hunters, alone, surpasses the numbers of all the standing armies of the world -- combined? Deer hunters in just one state, alone, number more than the armies of Iran, France, and Germany combined! SOURCE: http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1889966/pg1 Do you realize that a HUGE proportion of them are veterans of the finest military on the planet? And don't think you can just track gun hoarders down and arrest them. It took the US military TEN YEARS to find Osama Bin Laden -- and he was one man! Try rounding up millions. Can you see the nightmare? A law that would try to confiscate guns in America would, like Prohibition, suddenly turn America into a nation of criminals. The Eighteenth Amendment to the Constitution, and the Volstead Act caused multiple deaths. "Effective enforcement of the alcohol ban during the Prohibition Era proved to be very difficult and led to widespread flouting of the law. The lack of a solid popular consensus for the ban resulted in the growth of vast criminal organizations, including the modern American Mafia, and various other criminal cliques. Widespread disregard of the law also generated rampant corruption among politicians and within police forces." SOURCE: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibition_in_the_United_States Banning so-called assault weapons (otherwise known as "scary looking" weapons) does next to nothing to reduce gun crime. "The Justice Department’s interviews also showed so-called “assault weapons” are not a major cause of gun violence. Only about 8 percent of the inmates used one of the models covered in the now-expired assault weapons ban... ." Read more at: http://www.wnd.com/2004/12/28253/#Kfd7EWciAw0jzwQi.99 Consider this: "Meanwhile, a study released by the Justice Department suggesting background checks at gun shows would do little to keep firearms out of the hands of criminals. The study noted the number of criminals who obtained guns from retail outlets was dwarfed by the number of those who picked up their arms through means other than legal purchases. The report was the result of interviews with more than 18,000 state and federal inmates conducted nationwide. It found that nearly 80 percent of those interviewed got their guns from friends or family members, or on the street through illegal purchases."

Leaning against the wall is one of my guns -- well within arm's length. Visitors to my office think nothing of it. It is a way of life. I began shooting at the age of six. I am always armed -- either with an "edged weapon" or a firearm. Let's be clear. ASKING gun owners to give up their guns is insulting. DEMANDING that we give them up is going to get someone hurt. I realize the words above are strong. That is intentional. I am trying to convey to gun control advocates and the Mainstream Media the seriousness of what they are doing and the indelicate manner in which the are approaching the issue. DEMANDING that an American citizen give up a constitutional right is bad enough, but demanding that he give up a constitutional right upon which his freedom and his very life may depend is the ultimate insult and is nothing less than an assault on the constitution itself. This we cannot, we will not, abide. A note to our national legislators. Those of you supporting gun control legislation should understand it will be a career-ending move on your part. We will brook no such unpleasant nonsense from you. Gun owners did not seek this fight. We most certainly did not initiate it. Too, we are sick, ad nauseum, of your continuous attacks on our way of life, on our constitutional as well as God given rights as American citizens, and we are sick, beyond words, of your elitist attitude. As red-blooded Americans have done throughout our history, we will avoid a fight for as long as it is practicable to do so. But when the fight is brought to us we WILL engage with our considerable resources with one goal in mind and that is the utter defeat of our adversary, and a guarantee that the conflict will never be resuscitated, EVER, again. "MolM�n labéis" ( Molon Labe) is a classical expression of defiance reportedly spoken by King Leonidas I in response to the Persian army's demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae. I am seeing more and more e-mails and commentaries on blogs, all over the Internet theses days, close with these two words of defiance. It has quickly become the signature phrase for gun control resistance. So what does "molon labe" mean? Well, it is an invitation -- and a challenge -- all rolled into one. From the original Greek molon labe means: "Come and take 'em." Since self-defense is a God-given right I would add a second phrase of recognition one which my Confederate ancestors affixed often to their missives: "Deo Vindici," which means: "God is with us." This is a struggle gun owners of America did not seek, do not want, but -- intend to win decisively.

Sure is refreshing reading words showing reason in action, with passion behind their expression but NOT overturning reason in the process! What a contrast to the falsely passionate, both the latest crop of emotional illiterates selling defenseless slavery to the masses and the programmed masses themselves reciting their catechism learned by rote from the MediaMatrix! The passion of the sleeping sovereigns is false or at least shows a VERY shallow basis, since having your emotional response triggered by mind control keywords does not arouse true passion and a true and deep passion crashes through a thin tissue of lies whenever real feeling comes in to play.... IOW, you cannot, by definition, be deeply passionate about superficial lies which barely connect to anything other than other pre-programmed fantasies and their triggered responses; you can only pitch a fit, have a melt-down, regress to infantile incoherence if your clueless parrot-talk is not accepted without question! Sorry kids! that is not passion, not YOUR truly believed passion, only a triggered tempest in a cracked teapot... Wait until the co-opted sleepers see their fellow sovereign citizens, more aware and awake, who DO CARE about their life and freedom, and the freedom of their fellow man, show their REAL passion in action.... FedGov can pass their laws, let's seem them enforce those unconstitutional laws.
So what does "molon labe" mean? Well, it is an invitation -- and a challenge -- all rolled into one. From the original Greek molon labe means: "Come and take 'em."

Anger? As a first reaction to get your a$$ moving, once you see through the Media Matrix and set yourself free from your lifelong mind control collar. Sustainable? Not long enough to screen your intention to be free from the control freaks monitoring all comms! Our ultimate weapon is laughter and amused detachment at the folly of the would-be emperors while their plans evaporate! Fear mongers HATE it when the FEAR card doesn’t work. The humiliation of being seen as merely a naked ape is THEIR big fear. Laugh the bastards off the stage! Tell your friends that we can build a real civilization from the ruins of the totalitarian game!

That clicking sound you hear is the safety's being released on 80 million guns. If you really want to begin a civil war in this country, continue your efforts to take those guns and you will most certainly have one, and I do not think you have any idea, any inkling, of just how ferocious and brutal such a war can be.

I sense some push back by the good guys. Today I either read or heard that there are more than a dozen schools going to employ off duty police officers in schools come January. This was The NRAs suggestion Friday which was hooted down by the whore media. I realize the NRA is flawed, but their suggestion is a dose of sanity. Ordinarily, I'd agree that THIS is no time to be arguing gun control. With the pain still intense in Connecticut, there should have been a truce declared, to allow for grieving.

As here in Austin, most larger cities, already have their own PDs in place. The parking lots are in lock-down during school hours. The prison training has already begun, years back.

Whenever someone calls for gun control, they need to be immediately asked: "What are you planning on doing that requires a disarmed populace?"

This is a superb article, thanks for posting it.
"It is the habit of unhappiness to rewrite our lives and from a different beginning come to a different ending.

It's a step in the right direction, and perhaps someone will notice that big shot banksters and politicians who surround themselves with armed agents and electronic surveillance apparatus also tend to cloister their privileged offspring in elite private schools "well off the beaten path" where access to (or escape from) a spacious campus may pose considerable difficulty. Any wild-eyed stranger with normal clothes and teeth that aren't capped could be intercepted before reaching the lacrosse field or Campus Center for Swedish Massage. Of course programmed spree killers are never wired to attack and hurt the system. We won't see one of their perfectly timed mass murders at Phillips Exeter Academy in NH or nearby Choate in CT. It will always be middle class schools where unsuspecting parents allow the warehousing of their unsuspecting proles in training. I certainly don't think of those victims as lessers, but the evil bastards who delight in the continuing success of Project MKUltra certainly do. I sense some push back by the good guys. Today I either read or heard that there are more than a dozen schools going to employ off duty police officers in schools come January.

Former NRA President Harlon Carter once said that he saw a bumper sticker in TX that read: "What have you got in mind for me Mr. Politician that my having a gun makes you so nervous?" He also said "A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have." "Because the govt is now responsible for your health you boys are going to have to surrender your toys. No more extreme sports or jumping school buses in Bigfoot. And guns? You're kidding, right? And no BB guns, either. You'll shoot your eye out, Kid!' _Hillary Clinton Whenever someone calls for gun control, they need to be immediately asked: "What are you planning on doing that requires a disarmed populace?"

What is the shortest possible way to phrase that for a bumper sticker? What might YOU have instore,"What have you got in mind for me Mr. Politician that my having a gun makes you so nervous?"

I thought that was Ronald Reagan. Edit: We were both wrong! The correct answer is surprising. "Its a table saw.... Do you know where your fingers are?" [Harlon Carter] also said "A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have."

Interesting, thanks. I've see that quote attributed to Thomas Jefferson several times and never had reason to doubt it.
