When does it end?

I read the threads about various laws, both on the books and still in the legislature, and it makes me wonder, when does it end? At what point does the gun owners version of Rosa Parks say, "I don't care if it's the law, it's wrong"? Blacks didn't wait for the political winds to blow their way, they fought for their rights. Women didn't just wake up one day and discover they'd been granted the right to vote. We keep saying the second amendment was designed to prevent tyranny, yet we keep sliding closer to tyranny every year. Every time they pass a new law abridging our constitutional rights we seem to say, "I'll let you get away with it this time, but that's it". Of all the groups that could march for their rights you'd think gun owners would be the most persuasive. How big an impression would it make if 10,000 armed citizens turned up in DC to protest? I'm not talking about violence, just protest.

I'm not some wacko living in a shack somewhere surrounded by MRE's and back issues of SOF, I'm just an average working stiff. But, I am fed up with what is going on and the direction we're headed. You don't need a PhD in history to know that we're repeating some big mistakes. I just wonder, how long it will be before somebody throws another Tea Party?
 
Have you got a meeting place?
What time?
Can you keep the feds from infiltrating, and labeling us all white supremacy wako militia, and selling it to the main stream media?
Got a plan for getting people off the couch, and from in front of thier computers?

That is what it is going to take.

I guess that pretty well sums it up. If one man tries to stand up it turns into a Ruby Ridge. Even if a small group tries to stand up all we get is a Waco. And nobody wants to be the first to step forward. Plus all the wacko groups would certainly step in and compromise what started as a legitimate effort.

Guess we might as well turn in our guns now and save the trouble. There's nothing we can do to stop it, so why fight? It was fun while it lasted.
 
A point I like to remind people thinking it is time for a revolution. You assume you are going to win. Once the shooting starts, any bets are off the table. You may well come out of it ten times worse than when you went in. For all I know, the Communists in the country may go to China for help, and we could end up speaking Chinese and worshiping Mao (or whoever he is, I think that is his name)

I wasn't be sarcastic. I too have made these same remarks, and would be one of the first to step up to the plate. I am just asking where you think the plate is?

I am willing to entertain any good plans, and ideas. Now did you really want to visit this subject or did you start the thread to argue?
 
Bravo25, I wasn't trying to be sarcastic or demeaning. I apologize for coming across that way, poor phrasing on my part. I am beyond the point of frustration and really do seek solutions, not arguments.


jefnvk, I'm not talking about armed revolt. I don't think we've reached that point yet. But I have seriously entertained the aforementioned thought about a march on DC. As I said, not as an act of aggression, but as a simple protest and demonstration that we the people do still believe in our rights. If I had the money I'd arrange transportation and logistics to get as many people together as possible. Every other group has marched to air their grievances, why not us?

I just don't get it. Everybody I know is mad at the government about something, but every one of them seems to have a "what ya gonna do?" attitude. I've been a militant libertarian my whole life, even before I knew what a libertarian was I knew that government was a necessary evil that must be kept under tight control. And everywhere I look I see more examples of government taking control.

I better quit typing now, I'm starting to sound psychotic :o
 
There is no reason to stand up and fight. Because yes, you will be killed. However, the real power is located inside the legislatures of America. While I hate CHL permits, it is evidence that we are winning. Look at the setting of the AWB. Join GOA and get active. Expose the NRA-ILA for the money sucking organization it is. Start speaking the truth about gun control and the fallacy it promotes, especially when someone on this site starts to promote it.

Be the person that believes the truth. Support those who are standing up for the cause. One man can be cut down. But two can fight back. 10000 people could run this country. And by the way, don't vote democrat or republican. Vote your heart.

But what if 50 people came in with their guns and sung a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walked out...

Friends, they might think it's a movement...

:p

I believe all of that, 100%

And I vote libertarian when I can, reps and dems are just flip sides of the same coin. I don't want to live in a theocracy any more than I want to live under socialism.

:D
That would certainly draw attention.





Let me just state again, for the record, that I am not endorsing armed revolt.

Yep that would work...
"You can whatever you want"
Problem is that it would only work at Alice's Resturaunt. Going to have more people than 50!

BTW that is one of my favorite artist. Great song.
