Dude who wrote that is insane. Yeah, a shit pile of geographically scattered Mall Ninjas armed w/ AR15's are gonna go off the grid, and take on the US Military
I know quite a few retired Marines that would probably object to you referring to them as Mall Ninjas...
My dad is ex-Marine brass....he is still insane Some how I was drafted into the 'Young Marines' as a child....They were all insane too I didn't read the nutcase's bio who wrote that article, and I didn't spend a lot of time reading it all....as I got the jist of it pretty quick. Yeah, ex-military know their sh*t (and ain't mall ninjas....I was referring to all the civilian Mall Ninjas who are yapping about taking on the US Military).... But so does current military armed w/ the highest-tech killing machines/tools on the planet.
Yeah - I saw that too - doesn't pass the smell test. Ex-Marines are Lee Harvey Oswald types Anyone honorably discharged is a former Marine, and being around Marine brass you would think he would know that. Part of the argument is that the military is loyal to the political party of the moment, but it might fracture. Typically the military votes 3:1 or 4:1 for republicans/conservatives. Who wins the power grab, who gets the weapons? Who becomes the first enlisted man to shoot another American just because it is 'orders'? That act will cause 'Merica to riot.
I do know that. Check out the latest article in Leatherneck, Three 2nd Marines using a wall as cover in Lebanon (late 50's). How would I know that w/in seconds of your post? Because my dad showed it to me 2 days ago, proudly saying that pick was of his fellow Marines/friends he was there with. If you think I would ever intentionally disrespect the Marines, you are seriously wrong. I hold them in the highest regard.
I don't think any of this will happen quickly. No police will show up at your door asking for your guns. IF a bill like this were to pass, I can see the laws being used to "tack on" charges against someone doing less minor crimes. Eventually, a long ways down the road, the seizures will come. That's the way I see it. Now, IF seizures were to start within a few years, then yes, shit would go sour quickly and the scenario the writer talked about could be VERY real. I've already made up my mind that I will be one of the ones that die, if given the chance, to get to my "black guns". I pray to God it never comes to that. It will only take a few raids before the public catches on. The shooters will be painted as terrorists at first, mental cases, etc. I think that can only last so long. Especially if someone is smart enough to "youtube" their encounter, letting America know they're about to die for their freedoms. I think it's a sad state that we even have to "think" about these things. America is falling apart. My rational thought agrees that as soon as any of these laws were to pass, the legal challenges would be massive and immediate. Gun laws are becoming less restrictive all over the US. That means state gov'ts should be much more willing to fight federal legislation like this. Now, when you have truly, insanely stupid local gov'ts like those in Cali, NY and IL... the sky is the limit. There are just so many sides to this. Saying any one scenario is just "crazy" is overlooking history. A couple of weeks ago I couldn't have imagined someone could walk into an elementary school to kill children. Ok, off my soapbox.
See, I just don't get this. You'd rather be dead than give up what is essentially, a tool much like the ones in the garage toolbox. That's where I lose my ability to even remotely understand the RWN's. -jim
Wow- you have a magazine subscription. How nice - better homes and gardens too? Boot 2026 F Company 2nd Battalion MCCES 29 Palms, MOS 2841 3rd AABn, 1st MarDiv You are a poser
That's where I am at too. It's not even a tool for me, just a toy. I do see what the others are saying though, you are not fighting for your guns....you are fighting for losing your rights, which could lead to anything....so it goes far past the point of a person personal guns. I just think that assuming that military wannabe's armed w/ AR's are going to stop the US Military and LE, is a little over the top.
Yeah, right. You assume a guy who publicly cares zilch about anything military related has a subscription to Leatherneck? Yeah, you are quite the Einstein Great that you served, and thanks for pissing on my father's service. Like I said, piss up a rope
All this because I said "ex-Marine"? You remind me of the anal OCD clowns who get sour when people say clip instead of magazine. Grow up. Anyway, you are wasting precious time arguing w/ me over semantics....we need to get the National Militia together. Get the email/customer list from Spike's tactical and alert all of them, I'll get my ouija board out and try and get hold of Patrick Swayze. Time is a wasting....
