Last night I again watched the classic movie, Red Dawn. As you may remember, it stars Patrick Swazey and Charlie Sheen.
The movie is about a foreign invasion on American soil by both Russian and Cuban forces (World War III), and the "kids" who fought for the return of freedom, many who lost their lives doing so. It was about survivalism, guerilla warfare, and precious freedom.
It's been years since I last watched this film, but last night I watched with a renewed interest. One of the things that I had completely missed before was the conversation between the Cuban Colonel Bella and one of his men shortly after the invasion. Colonel Bella ordered his soldier to go to the local sporting goods store and bring to him all of the copies of form 4733 (yellow BATF form) so that he could identify the citizens who had firearms in the town.
Citizens who may have owned firearms were then rounded up and placed in a "re-education camp" set-up at the local football field. As the children freedom fighters (known as the "Wolverines") began their attack against the occupying army, these same citizens were lined up and executed.
If you haven't seen Red Dawn, or haven't seen it in some time...see it again. Let that sequence of events burn into your minds. Then understand why its so valuably important for the leftists sitting in Washington to know exactly who owns the 280 million firearms in this country.
Remember, it has nothing to do with reducing crime.
