It’s the End of the World as We Know It

Right to arms: Frenzied conservatives invest millions in panic rooms, bulletproof cars and robot guards triggered by Charlie Kirk’s assassination [More]

Yeah, right, everybody I know is in a tizzy, how about you?

You’ll note I haven’t said what my home court contingency options are. Let’s just say thought has been put into them, and none of it involves robots or quarter million dollar cars.

We’ve explored this phenomenon before with well-heeled Democrats.

Speaking of Charlie Kirk, file this piece of just-received mail under “Way Too Soon and Makes TPUSA Look Ghoulish”:

Commie Sense Gun Safety

Antifa wants an insurrection leading to a legitimacy collapse and a communist/left-anarchist revolution. But there’s a very basic question: where’s it going to find the troops, and how’s it going to train them? [More]

Well, first start out with the basics, and then you’ll be ready for the more advanced courses…

Terry Schappert on Civil War

He knows whereof he speaks, and offers very doable things if people would only do them. [Watch]

Ay, there’s the rub…

A Churchill quote comes to mind:

[If] you will not fight for the right when you can easily win without bloodshed; if you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves. (The Gathering Storm, London, 1948, 272.)

Never Say Never

1 In 9 Americans Still Believe Political Violence Is Sometimes Justified [More]

Really? What the hell kind of sanctimonious virtue signaling is this? Zero Hedge thinks a violence monopoly is preferable?

Maybe if we could beef those numbers up it would discourage more of it happening. As I wrote 25 years ago in my GUNS and AMMO piece “You Say You Want a Revolution”:

But that’s ok. As long as such uncertainty exists, the Second Amendment is doing its job. As long as government fears an armed populace, and based on all the idiot laws they’re trying to pass, they sure must, a powerful check on tyranny remains in place. After all, it is an evident truth that the strength of our nation can be measured by its freedom, and the Second Amendment is the key bellwether for this freedom. We can see in its erosion the breakdown of trust between government and the governed, and the attendant instability and conflict that is inevitable when this happens.

The seemingly paradoxical truth is, if you want to create a stable, peaceful and free society, where a Chechnya-style conflict becomes the unlikeliest of possibilities, you must guarantee that the whole people can arm themselves to the teeth. For only by making the cost of infringing our rights too high can we make those who would abridge them afraid to act. Just as, at the individual level, a criminal avoids a potential victim who may be armed, so too does this work on a societal scale.

Beto Testing

Beto O’Rourke says he does not regret saying he will take away AK-47s and AR-15s while running for president [More]

He still hasn’t fleshed out how for us.

He was speaking as if he had presidential powers, so, say it’s through executive action or even a law he signed– presuming he’s replaced enough SCOTUS justices to reverse Bruen.

Now what?

What’s it going to take to get the guns away from the, say, Three Percent who will say “Hell no, you won’t,” despite seeing some picked off to be made examples of to spook the rest of the herd…?

How far is he willing to go, and what will that do to the smooth running of society?

Who Listens to This Crap?

The Boomers built this mess on wet sand, calling it empire, their hands stained with greed and sheer ruthless ignorance. [More]

Arnhole would like to have a word with you (NSFW).

You’re standing on some of our shoulders, collectivist ingrate, and it’s presumptuous to believe you’re so unique you’d have turned out any different had you’d been cast in the same mold.

Let’s see you fight your way to that Irish whiskey, hero. Show us how it’s done.

Moron.

Of Course, You Realize This Means War

What we’re witnessing isn’t protest; it’s warfare by other means, complete with pre-printed signs, strategically placed weapons, and political air cover from the very officials sworn to protect public safety. [More]

By people who sing this.

Everybody realize it’s not just Trump they existentially hate…?

It’s not just Trump they fantasize about doing this to.

“Commonsense gun safety laws,” anyone…?

May Be Just the Push We Need

WAYNE ROOT: Here is the Final Proof Democrats are Deranged, Insane, Brainwashed, Radical Communist Zealots, and Can Never, Never, Never, EVER Be Allowed to Regain Power, or America is DOA. [More]

I think he’s forgetting something.

There’s a reason the evil but cowardly bastards won’t try mass gun confiscation — becauase they know they can’t and if they make it up close and personal for enough of us, some of us are going to0 start making it up close and personal for them. And that means the Second Amendment is still working.

Omar ‘White Supremacy’ Slur a Democrat Talking Point That Can Lead to Mass Violence

Knowing what they intend, it’s only natural that Democrats in general (because they’re awful quiet about the mobs) and radicals like Omar make citizen disarmament a keystone in their agenda. [More]

Don’t make us angry. You wouldn’t like us when we’re angry.

Sorry, Neighbors, They Wanted My Guns That Badly

Genocide-minded maniacs never seem to flesh that out.

The vacuous smirker’s somehow got a million followers, but from the ratioing this latest bit of idiocy received, I suspect they’re mostly people hes trolling. As for the post he started with, imagining mass gun confiscation, as noted before, the truth is they wouldn’t dare. Which means the Second Amendment is working (right you are, Nicholas).

There’s one other thing he’s forgetting, besides the obvious (NSFW): Bill Clinton’s Rules of Engagement. If we can’t turn to the Constitution for protection, what makes cheerleaders for tyranny think they can?

Desperate Measures

We sure live in interesting times.

There Shall Be Weeping and Gnashing of Teeth

Imagine if a Democrat came into office, said they’d no longer recognize the Second Amendment and began confiscating guns. [More]

The truth is they wouldn’t dare. Which means the Second Amendment is working.

But just for yucks, imagine Michael A. Cohen and MSNBC co-propagandists in the stack.

What is it with effete Democrat influencers volunteering others for civil war?

Know the Enemy

Spetsnaz, Russian Mercenaries, and American Commandoes in Syria [More]

Dr. Miguel Faria give us an excerpt from his book Stalin, Mao, Communism, and the 21st Century Aftermath in Russia and China.

As an aside because this made me think of it, war on home turf is not the romantic stuff of fiction, anonymous keyboard commandos boldly calling for CW2 notwithstanding. I believe the reason we have not seen it here –yet — is because the Second Amendment is working, not just against individual predators, but on a societal level. As Thomas Paine observed:

[A]rms, like law, discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe, and preserve order in the world as well as property… Horrid mischief would ensue were one-half the world deprived of the use of them…

Our duty is to keep that horrid mischief from taking over. And rejecting the peaceable means bequeathed to us by the Founders that we yet have and doing nothing but rattling sabers and complaining undermines that.

Sowing the Wind

Shouldn’t Trump Voters Be Viewed as Traitors? The magazine’s Ethicist columnist on whether voters should be held accountable for their chosen candidate’s behavior. [More]

Kwame Anthony Appiah of The Newsraper of Record evidently wants Republicans tried and either imprisoned or executed as the tribunals see fit.

If we’re talking accountability, Bill Clinton’s Rules of Engagement seem a pretty good place to start.
