I have noticed some posts from new IDs that urge people to declare themselves ready for armed violence against the government to protect RKBA. I suspect these people are trolling for stuff they can quote out of context to support their contention that everyone who owns a firearm is ready to go shoot up the courthouse.

I urge all good-faith TFLers to not give aid and comfort to the enemy.
 
Good call. I remember seeing an interview with an old hippie or yippie or whatever that they could always spot the government mole - he was the one yelling loudest that they should go and burn a draft board. (Say...maybe Sara Brady is posting here?)
 
David Scott,
I agree with you Sir!
As Henry Bowman said "Shoot, Shovel and Shut up" ;)

I beleave these people are one of three things.

1)Goverment moles looking for some to go after.
2) Anti-gunners looking to start something.
3) Real honest to god losers, who think that thier lives will be better after the Revolution. That It'll make them Richer, Sexier, and Smarter, and all this can happen if we just get the US out of the UN and God back in Schools.

On the topic of loser revolutionaries:

I was standing in line at a 7-11 a few weeks ago. They have a TV set up at the register that displays commercials and other filler. One of the screens was an inspirational quote of some sort, I don't remember it in detail. What struck me was the person being quoted.

Ernesto "Che" Guevara.

Wow. Nothing like going into an icon of American enterprise and seeing a quote from a communist terrorist being passed around as inspirational material.
 
Ya never know when big brother is watching. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

I think there is a careful balance to be found: on the one hand, it is foolish to mouth off about being deranged enough to want any kind of violence. OTOH, if we act as though we have lost our freedom, we have.

I have no qualms about declaring my love for my country, the joy I find in excercising my firearms rights, or my determination to live a life worth living. While I'm at it, let me add:

VOTE LIBERTARIAN!

I don't know what their motives are, but I can assure you of this. Once on Staff radar you notice them mysteriously disappear quite quickly. ;)

About a year ago, I was in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The many news stands along the main street sold post cards, with one of the most highly inventoried being that of Che. (It was that image many of you have probably seen...the one of Ernie in that beret that adorned so many college dorm rooms in the sixties.)

I asked one of the vendors why Ernie was still so popular down here.

"Oh, he is nothing to us. I sell that post card to Americans."

It seems it is the US that continues to romanticize not only Ernie, but Eva Peron (Evita) as well. To the people down there, this pair is a big zero.

Visiting a large cemetary in Buenos Aires, the resting place of Eva confirmed this. It was in the most dumpy corner of the cemetary: Broken crypt structure and trashy.

That movie a few years back that starred Madonna as Evita was a continuation of how idiots in the US make heroes out of myths.

Torpedo: No, no, no! It's "An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of manure." Every now an then some troll or provocateur--aka "pound of manure"--comes up with this same tired old idea of fomenting trouble.

It's a very preventive and light weight effort to merely respond politely that foolishness is better, elsewhere. CBS, MSNBC, etc. Bigger audience; more "need to know".
