Home invasions, rapes, robberies, break-ins to parked vehicles, break-ins to businesses, armed robberies of child-care centers, laundromats, vending machines, fast fooderies, girl scouts selling cookies, newsstands, et cetera – all had better be prepared to fend off boarders.

Any where there’s a little circulatin’ coin or something worth having.

You’ll need to have claymores with tripwires facing out from the perimeter of your victory garden.

Seriously, sandbag bunkers are going to be the new architectural motif. In various sizes.

All the purchases will help remind the tyrants and bullies that it’s likely to be more difficult than they think to disarm the U.S.

And I still cannot get .380ACP!!!!!! This has been going on for a year or more. My favorite calibers are hard to find.

I hope that someone in DC is paying attention. But, you know, I do believe they do not care and think they can cow us into anything.

As the economy devolves and spins ever downward, there are those who are ruined and will soon reach the point where they only have the last thing to lose.

I remember, it was that oath about “all enemies, foreign and domestic”.

Messages are sent, and by all but the densest, understood.

To a crook, to a politician, to a population wishing to discourage tyrants.

Without firearms, we are subjects, not citizens.

The 2nd amendment is not about plinking.

It is not about hunting.

It is not about sport shooting.

It is about nothing except the ability to resist tyranny.

In the 20th century, Stalin murdered sixty million of his own subjects.

Mao Dzedong murdered a similar number of Chinese.

Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge murdered possibly as many as three million of their fellow Cambodians.

The Communist government of the Vietnam reunited by the abandonment of South Vietnam by the Democrat-infested U.S. Congress, murdered several million of their fellows, and forced up to three million others to flee to other countries in rickety boats. Remember the Vietnamese Boat People?

The Argentine Junta that tried to expropriate Las Islas Malvinas to distract their oppressed public, had “disappeared” tens of thousands of young citizens, whose corpses were found only after the Junta was overthrown.

While the US did its dance over Watergate, with the young Hillary Rodham lying and hiding documents that should have been available for the Watergate investigators, Russia managed to undermine the government of Portugal, and engineer a coup. The result was chaos in the Portuguese military’s management of its struggle with MPLA rebels in Angola, and its eventual withdrawal. Followed by a bloodbath as the MPLA and UNITA rebels escalated their contest for control.

Look around the world, folks. In almost every instance where a government has confiscated firearms from its own people, that government has gone on to inflict murder against its domestic opponents on a scale far beyond any external adventures.

All the purchases will help remind the tyrants and bullies that it’s likely to be more difficult than they think to disarm the U.S.

Sorry to go off topic.

It’s unbelievable.

Democrats believe when they win an election they get to RULE US.

The majority of Americans believe politicians get paid to SERVE US.

Boy, that Russia thing sure turned out good. ‘Seems we adopted the Kremlin’s czars and centralized media-messaging, and they adopted our….

What of ours did Putin adopt? (Bush’s flat tax)? Any of it? Or was Gore a one-way apparatchik?

You sell the Vice-President short. I do believe he was also put in charge of US efforts to help Russia become a thriving Democratic society.

I’m a volunteer for the U. of Arizona’s Master Gardener extension office, and to garner exposure for our volunteers I “face” for the group at several local community events. Last week we attended the Flagstaff Community Market, and, in between questions about blighted tomatoes and senescent Aspens, one of Flagstaff’s aged, resident politicos approached my table with a “global warming” question.

First, she asked if the Master Gardeners were “following” global warming, and I gleefully took the bait. Being an ardent empiricist, I am compositionally unable to parrot the tenets of the Church of Gore, so I advised the visitor that I personally am “following” it, and that there is a lot of data available suggesting that the earth is, in fact, cooling – and that it has been since ’round ’98. She responded by saying that Al Gore says different.

This was the opening that I’d been waiting for: I asked, “Al who?” Obviously upset, she enunciated, “Al Gore, you know.” To which I asked, “Al Gore, the politician who “reinvented government” during the Clinton terms?” “Yes,” she returned, her temper was growing short, as she was clearly looking for a pat, politically correct answer that I was unwilling to give her. So, sensing my time was short, I cut to the chase: “Can politicians control the climate?”

She emitted a barely audible grunt, spun on her left heel, and shuffled away to the refuge of the “sustainability” group she came with. Meanwhile, my ears burned as she gesticulated wildly in my direction, her jaw wagging excitedly, and her compadres’ gaped. I had scored a direct hit!

The question often comes up, what, if anything, have members of our governing classes ever achieved in their elected bodies? One answer is, looking busy. The sole directive Al Gore was given by his President during eight years in DC, that of “reinventing Government,” was never really achieved. But, like so many initiatives, the loud advertisement and the impressions that the publicity generates is the initiative. Al Gore, the supposed champion for small government, was being primed for national office – that priming, not measurable fiscal restraint, was the real goal of Clinton’s directive.

Anyone dumb enough to believe Gore’s fiscal-conservative ‘fides was disabused of their delusion by Gore’s recent admission that “Global Warming” was supposed to generate public support for one world government. Gore’s goal is to grow government – all kinds of government – all around the world, not shrink it. America’s, or Australia’s, or Britain’s autonomy in this coerced “order” can be damned.

Gore’s mask has slipped, and now, so has Van Jones’. The charade is over, the masks are coming off, and the disco-ball at the masquerade has crashed to the floor. Say whatever you want about G. W. Bush, but he was adept at cutting through layers of proxies and revealing the naked puppeteers beneath.

Imagine how far along the Prog’s project would be if Gore had won in 2000, and Kerry (of “Global Test” fame), had won in 2004. I shudder to think.
Cheers,
Steve

While a laudable goal, even if the Congress was covered under the same rules, they would be given preference.
