“Seventy-two killed resisting gun confiscation in Boston”

[BB MBD]

Please when THEY ask tell them I did not ask you to fight for me. Tell THEM I told you not to. I pity your family who you love much less than your gun and your own freedom.

Self-imposed importance. Nothing else.

over and out.

I don't think you're correct. There are a lot more Citizens than police. Not every cop is going to be willing to shoot his neighbors. I think most won't.

Cops are not used to having to provide external security, cordons. They are not used to being shot at in urban or rural environments.

In Iraq we had a three vehicle policy. No less than three go outside the wire.

Many nights there are just two State Troopers on. Pennsylvania State Police cover more than 80% of the Commonwealth, and I feel do a damned fine job. But they are not equipped, trained, or remotely prepared for an active shooting civil war. Nor do I think a majority of PSP would be willing to violate the rights of the people.

They are working on that. Paid for by the American tax money.

You live under illusion. USA is already a police state. Where police armed as much if not better than regular army. Your phones and emails are monitored. Government fights illegal wars using your kids as cannon fodders. Changing laws disregarding constitution.
But you are still free just cause you have a gun? Wake the heck up.

As soon as you start digging deeper than you were allowed to you will end up like Waco, Ruby Ridge or Michael Hastings.

Whatever your fathers were fighting for was sold, resold, bought back and flipped over again and again with most of your debt split between China, Russia and Europe.

If you are so pro-freedom why wait till they come for your guns? Is there not enough reason to be up in arms?


PS. Oh and I love the Macho drive.

Somebody send this guy back to Canada

And I can see brainwashed clearly. But next time you are on outing with your 10 yo grandson or grand daughter look him/her in the eyes and tell them "You see this gun? This gun is more important to me than your life or your future". Tell them "I am ready to give up my life and your life or take life of others just to have this gun".

It is not the gun I would die for.. It's the freedom that so many have died protecting that I would fight to my last breathe to secure. How about you look in their eyes and say, "I love you with all my heart, but I wouldn't defend the rights of you and I if it means I will likely be killed doing so." If your not willing to defend the right to bear arms.. Do us all a favor and don't bear them in the first place.

BB MBD, is this your post? Is someone else using your account or just change your mind about SHTF?

like i said 1% at best. I hope for the sake of our country 1% will be enough. Our forefathers were brave men. I'm ashamed of what we are today.

I would put my money on the side of the people is this happened again. Although the military and many PD's have some very good weapons, drones and nukes for example, we vastly outnumber them and have weapons that are almost as good.

A few months ago I looked through a photojournal of about 30 photos of the makeshift weapons the rebels in Syria were making in garages and farm shops. They had armored vehicles, mounted machine guns, guided missiles, and all sorts of stuff; and they live in a back-asswards third-world country. Now imagine what we could come up with, with all the machinists, mechanics, electrical engineers, and advanced manufacturing capacity we have in this country. 300 million of us here, and I'd imagine that with a crash course, 90% of them could build at LEAST some type of functional firearm with common household materials.

I posted this elsewhere on 4/19/13, so forgive the tenses used:

"1 guy currently has the city of Boston on lockdown.

1 guy had LA and most of Northern California in full on panic mode.

Those are 2 extremely recent stories (obviously, one is still in progress), where "1 guy" was able to disrupt an entire city and beyond.

Multiply that "1 guy" times the amount of gun owners that would not comply with confiscation. I don't see how anybody with any "common sense" could see confiscation as a feasible plan in the USA.

Unfortunately, we don't have any "common sense" politician laws."

I have almost non-existent faith that anyone would stand up to government thugs. At least no one around here.

It hurts my heart to think this but I believe it's the truth.

A critical part of determining it is how the individual assesses what they would be standing up against and under what circumstances. Would you know if the thugs were coming, and if so, with how much notice and preparation possible? Would you be able to get to your guns, or would they try picking people up at work when they know many wouldn't have the opportunity to be armed? Would communication with other like minded people be possible? Preparation for this scenario would be VERY difficult, and probably our worst problem would be communication.

This is quite a story....

National Guard units seeking to confiscate a cache of recently banned
assault weapons were ambushed by elements of a para-military extremist
faction. Military and law enforcement sources estimate that 72 were killed
and more than 200 injured before government forces were compelled to
withdraw.

Speaking after the clash, Massachusetts Governor Thomas Gage declared
that the extremist faction, which was made up of local citizens, has
links to the radical right-wing tax protest movement. Gage blamed the
extremists for recent incidents of vandalism directed against internal
revenue offices. The governor, who described the group's organizers as
"criminals,” issued an executive order authorizing the summary arrest of
any individual who has interfered with the government's efforts to secure
law and order. The military raid on the extremist arsenal followed
widespread refusal by the local citizenry to turn over recently outlawed
assault weapons.

Gage issued a ban on military-style assault weapons and ammunition
earlier in the week. This decision followed a meeting in early this month
between government and military leaders at which the governor authorized
the forcible confiscation of illegal arms.

One government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, pointed out
that "none of these people would have been killed had the extremists
obeyed the law and turned over their weapons voluntarily." Government
troops initially succeeded in confiscating a large supply of outlawed
weapons and ammunition.

However, troops attempting to seize arms and ammunition in Lexington met
with resistance from heavily armed extremists who had been tipped off
regarding the government's plans. During a tense standoff in Lexington’s
town park, National Guard Colonel Francis Smith, commander of the
government operation, ordered the armed group to surrender and return to
their homes. The impasse was broken by a single shot, which was reportedly
fired by one of the right-wing extremists. Eight civilians were killed in
the ensuing exchange.

Ironically, the local citizenry blamed government forces rather than the
radical extremists for the civilian deaths. Before order could be
restored, armed citizens from surrounding areas had descended upon the
guard units. Colonel Smith, finding his forces over matched by the armed
mob, ordered a retreat.

Governor Gage has called upon citizens to support the state/national
joint task force in its effort to restore law and order. The governor also
demanded the surrender of those responsible for planning and leading the
attack against the government troops. Samuel Adams, Paul Revere, and John
Hancock, who have been identified as "ringleaders" of the extremist
faction, remain at large.

And this, people, is how the American Revolution began on April 20, 1775.

The shot heard around the world.
