I hope we can at least come together enough that we can swim instead of watching everything and everyone we know and love... sink.
The gun grabbers know this. And they want those guns so bad they are willing to lose their lives, their families, and everything to get them.
One day indeed the tree of liberty will have to be watered, again, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. Because tyranny never learns. Ever. So be it then.

We are looking at some bad things to come, that is for sure. The thing that the government doesn't realize is that a large portion of our population is former military who swore to defend our country from all enemies, foreign and domestic. As a former Marine, I would like to think that I speak for a lot of us when I say that the gun grabbers are these domestic enemies that the oath every one of us swore to on our day of enlistment.

I fully believe they want the guns out of fear of revolution...

I fully believe they want the guns out of fear of revolution...sure the school shootings and stuff are side points...they are horrible to hear about..but think..time are changing in the world and in America...people are on edge... one major natural disaster or stock crash could send ripples that awakes the revolution. And that stuff will spread. Read any news article and all the top comments below are anti government. Some places have even shut down their comment section, but almost every article you see the top comments voted up are anti government. People have had it...from the nsa on down. If we have guns we have power. If we dont we will have to hope another country comes to save us.
The laws they are enacting are insane. From Bush through Obama. It is weird times man...

The way things are looking the gov will be starting one by following through. Sure, some extremist anti's will cheer and dance in the blood of the angry white vet who is gunned down by the glorious SWAT teams for causing no harm to anybody but eventually the cops are going to hit on some middle class dentist with a family who might not be an OFWG and it'll be a lot harder for the anti's to dance in the blood of his wife, child and dog for causing no harm to anyone.
If the state wants to disarm out of fear of revolution the state would be wise to do it in times of glut and splendor.
If the state wants to set off revolution then going door to door and shooting innocent people in a time of economic turmoil and record low approval ratings of all government employees seems like the ideal time.

And that is only part of it.
The United States is in no way United. Culturally, the people here are beginning to split apart from one another. The Libertarians, the Democrats, the Republicans, the extreme progressives. Our ideologies are so contrasted we cannot get along. It is a split that is very simple, those who want to give government more power, and those who want to take government power away.
I personally believe that a second Civil War is inevitable. I do not think that the US is going to last as a single country, I see us separating into multiple countries.

That would make sense if the country was divided along obvious lines like in the civil war.
It isnt though, every party is scattered everywhere.
Yes Texas is conservative, as well as a few other places, but that is as close to an obvious divide that exists.\
No the next revolution wont see the country split, but one side will see the other greatly reduced.
Seeing how the conservatives have all the guns, it looks bad for the liberals, I dont want to see this, but I dont see any other way forward but this one way.
The libs will not stop trying to take the peoples rights, the conservatives will not suffer further right taking.
It will be ugly brother, we dont always agree, but we are both alive and have friends and families.
Please do your part to keep yours safe, as I will do for mine.

A CT navy vet lays it on the line, and tells them flat out that he will not comply, period. Watch to the end as he listens to the sales pitch, and the suits try to push the gun grabbing.
Audience obviously feels the same, with rowdy applause.
We are SICK of you trying to infringe upon the very thing that provided you with your "freedom".
Keep pushing. Just you keep right on pushing. And see where this lands. There is a point of no return on this you know. You think Ukraine was bad?
HA.
We need more veterans to stand up like this, and say enough is friggin enough! And as usual, the suits try to incrementally infringe. Shoots for the stars, and settle for the moon. One more tax, one more fine, one more gun removed. They are too damn coward to try and take them all at once.
Also, I love how he stumps them cold when he asks if these laws will prevent another Sandy Hook.
And he even goes so far as to call them domestic enemies!!! Gotta love this guy.edit on Thu Mar 6th 2014 by TrueAmerican because: (no reason given)
