“The truth is, this fight hasn't even begun.”
“Stop the whining, the battle has not yet begun!”
Exactly my point, boys! There has BEEN no fight. We have given up every
so-called battle without even a whimper! Jeez! Most times we didn’t even
show up!
I’ve said all this before (sigh) but one more time.
If you think we have NOT lost every battle so far, go into virtually ANY
Western Auto, Sears, Montgomery Wards, family-run hardware store, etc.
and buy a .22 rifle, a .30-06 rifle, a 12ga pump, a .22 revolver, a .38 Spec
revolver, and a .45 Gov’t model PLUS all the ammunition you want for these
guns!
All you need is cash. No driver’s license; no CHL license, NO permission
from Mommy, Daddy, or Washington! No papers or forms to be filled out -
just buy the guns and ammo you want.
What? What’s that? Excuse me?
You say, “We can’t DO that anymore.”
You say most of those stores no longer sell guns?
You say most of those stores no longer sell ammunition?
You say you can’t buy a gun without papers, forms, phone calls and
PERMISSION FROM YOUR GOVERNMENT!!!!!!
AND YOU TELL ME THE BATTLE HAS NOT BEGUN!!
Listen up, kids! The war has been on for forty years! We have lost battle
after battle after battle!
The opportunity to fight is WANING NOT INCREASING! The WAR is darned near OVER!
And we have nearly lost because we have compromised, compromised, &
compromised.
We have voted “against” the bad guy instead of voting for our freedoms!
Therefore, quite naturally, we have LOST our freedoms!
We have COMPROMISED away virtually every gun right we USED to have!
We have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory nearly every time!
Don’t you DARE tell me that the fight has not yet begun!
I have letters from Ted Kennedy dated in the mid-1960s responding to my
fight to keep and bear arms! Many of the old farts on TFL can go back much
farther than that!
I’ve been fighting! I’ve been losing!
I’m sick and tired of COMPROMISING! I’m sick and tired of LOSING!
While I was overseas the BRAVE Americans in the ZI gave away danged
near everything the boys and girls were overseas fighting for!
And among the worst offenders are:
- Those WWII and Korean vets who say, “Oh, it was so bad overseas I never
want to see another gun.”
- The teachers who taught the kids that nothing is worth the use of force. All we have to do is “talk together”.
- The gun owners who felt “other” guns had no relationship to “our” RKBA.
- The police who cravenly kissed butt for political gain.
- The military officers who fought mostly for kissing space at the Great
Behind for personal gain - forsaking their oath to support the Constitution, their
troops, their service, and their country to obtain greater rank, prestige, and
retirement pay.
- The voters who stayed home because, “It makes no difference.”
- The preachers who told us to rely upon them - personally - and “their”
version of God rather than what we read in the Bible!
- The World Council of Churches who supported the enemy in Vietnam.
- The political whores of Hollywood who sold our country down the drain in
most of their movies! AND the folks who paid to be indoctrinated by those
movies.
- The academicians who condescendingly trained generations of children and
young adults that there is NO Right or Wrong! These are VALUE judgments (snicker, snicker) that your ignorant dinosaur parents believed in (snicker, snicker).
- The politicians who come into office with a few thousand dollars in the bank and a bazillion favors to repay. Later they retire as millionaires with annual retirement benefits greater than most Americans earn in a lifetime.
Every cent those camel-buggers grabbed came from taxes or consumer markets.
We are against the wall.
Already the government is confiscating firearms in California.
Already the government has an “approved” list of firearms in Maryland.
Already some states have implemented a Firearms Owner Identification Card or something similar.
Already the federal government confiscates our movable property without due Constitutional process.
Already the federal government tells us:
- what we dare and dare not grow on our own land.
- what we dare or dare not cut down, drain, or flood on our own land.
- what we dare or dare not build or tear down on our own land.
- what we may or may not use our land for, and what “permits” are required to do much of anything on our own land.
Already the federal government takes 40% to 70% of the working folks work
efforts and production.
Already the local governments make us pay “rent” on our homes and
businesses (in the form of taxation).
Already the federal government is compiling a listing of virtually every gun
owner.
Already the federal government is compiling a list of as many firearms, by
serial number, as possible. This is in total violation of legislation passed by
our Congress and signed by our President!
I’m sure all of you can add to this list. Please do.
And when you’re done, don’t bother looking at your children and mumbling platitudes, just look instead into a mirror. Look yourself in the eye and say, “Oh, there has been no fight. We, as Americans, are as free as we ever were.”
Riiiggght.
