Another Stab at the Heart of the 1st Amendment
-
I find it sickening. So it is now a felony to protest anyone in the executive branch. OR even someone that will potentially enter the executive branch. What a crock! Our rights silently slip away in the night one by one and there is nothing we can do about it. Totalitarian State is just around the corner, and much of the population will sit there pretending like nothing is wrong as they are too dumb or too brainwashed by the media thinking it is for the best. Those that do point it our are flagged as conspiracy theoriests. They need not do anything to the ones "aware" as being "aware" does not change the direction of the out of control train.

When I was in the Navy, we conducted frequent damage control exercises. In the case of fire, we were instructed to extinguish it at the source. That applies to more things than just fire.

You cannot beat a 7.62 for penetration, and the damage it causes as it leaves ensures there is no reason to shoot the same man twice. (Get the 155 grain rather than the 144, the accuracy is better and can easily give a 2" group at 300 yards, even for a poor shot like yourself :) )

.223/5.56 is even more ubiquitous than .308 or 7.62 - and it's lighter, so you can carry more. I can reach out to about 500 yards accurately (more than 1/4 mile). That should be good enough. :)

In a way we are our own worst enemies. People love scary stuff. They eat it up. Then the corporate media feeds on this, as that is what sells. Then the politicians feed on it as that is what gets them elected. So in the end we eF ourselves over for wanting to watch scary stuff on the news. It was not necessarily the media's fault as they are fighting ratings against other broadcasters. It wasn't necessarily the politicians fault as they are fighting polls against their counterparts.

The .223/5.56 is stocked on store shelves (Wal-mart, hardware stores, sporting goods stores, ad of course, gun stores), not to mention the thousands of people that have an AR-15 or other rifles chambered in that cartridge. They have ammo too, and will most likely have to leave a certain amount of it behind when they head for the hills. Easy to find = ubiquitous. A standard combat patrol load-out is 210 rounds of 5.56, and (nowadays) 48 rounds of 9mm. I have enough mags ready to go for 240 rounds of 5.56 and 49 rounds of .45 ACP, for each rifle and psitol I own. I can grab all of those magzines and be out the door in less time than it takes to say the sentence, "Damn, John, that's a crapload of ammo".

If it's "everywhere", it's "easy to find". 5.56 is everywhere.

It's nice to use the same ammo that is being used against you.

This is another example of an attack on the first amendment - the government lets it be known that they're "watching", and everybody clams up because they're afraid of being labeled as a dissenter or terrorist. This essentially is the same thing as eliminating their 1st amendment rights. I say, continue letting them have it with both barrels. If you're a gun owner, you have to fill out the 4473 form for the background check. They then contact the FBI who gives the go ahead for the purchase. By law, the FBI isn't supposed to maintain those records, but if you are under the mistaken impression that they're actually following the law, you're sadly mistaken. For the most part, they know where every legally purchased firearm is, and who owns them. They can also confiscate the completed forms from the FFL that initiated the background check - any time they please. My point is that not discussing it is pointless, and your only defense against them is constant vigilence. If the internet is suddenly unavailable to large groups of Americans, or GPS devices suddenly stop working on a national basis, or even cell phone connectivity goes tits up for a lot of people all at the same time, that's a pretty good sign that defication is about to come into direct contact with the rotating occilator. In other words, hide your weapons/ammo, or just leave your house altogether, because their first act (after disabling our ability to communicate) will be to disarm the public that they know owns guns.

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997while I agree with you, my one tiny difference is that my guns that I currently own are family owned and passed down for a couple of generations. I would highly doubt they know that they even exist. For example I have one old shotgun that belonged to my great grandfather. and its still one of the straightest shooting things I have ever held.. That being said, no they are not assault rifles or anything high powered such as the military would be packing, but, in my hands you do not want to be on the other end still :) And in this part of the country its all bush anyway so shorter LOS means shorter range weapons work just fine as long as you are woods smart. As far as the rest of your post, yeah you are correct sir.
It used to be what you know that got you ahead, then it was who you know, now its what you know about who you know that gets you ahead. Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow. You can't scare me, I have children.

Never discount the willingness of your friends, neighbors, or even family members, to rat you out. They may be compelled to do so in the interest of their own perceived survival, but don't just assume everyone's singin' outa the same hymnal.

Our 2 party system allowed this march towards totalitarianism. Everyone is unfortunately obsessed with where people and politicians stand on a left vs right scale.

"Why don't you tie a kerosene-soaked rag around your ankles so the ants won't climb up and eat your candy ass." - Dale Earnhardt, 1997The violation of citizen's rights really gained steam during W's administration, using 9/11 and fear as their excuse for the so-called "Patriot Act." I had hoped, indeed counted on, Obama reversing this trend. But it's just the opposite, he's allowed the trend to worsen, and it's now obvious (even to the most partisan) that it doesn't matter who is in power; the executive and legislative branches do not have any qualms about trampling rights. Donkeys or elephants, they're all the same in that regard. Stripping our freedom in the name of preserving it. Luckily, there is still some measure of checks and balances in this country. The courts actually do their job occasionally and strike down unconstitutional laws. So having said all that, we're still a far cry from a totalitarian state, and indeed a good deal better off than many of our European friends. What sickens me is all the attention SOPA got, while at the same time naming random citizens as enemy combatants (stripping them of all rights) goes ignored.

So the British/Kenyan Barack Hussein Obama, whose parents met whilst learning Russian (so were probably communists) and who was schooled in Indonesia has removed the constitutional rights of Americans, and you let him?

Would that be the same way that the UK gave in to rampant socialism for 13 long, dark years without so much as a murmur whilst the tories imploded? (I know that does not include you or I, btw) In fact, I agree with you. My point is more for the US to show what will happen if they don't do something to restrain the plainly obvious creeping socialism that is pervading the US. Sadly, there is no credible alternative by the looks of things: I'd love to be proved incorrect.

I'm glad it makes you feel better, but I really believe it won't come to that in our lifetimes. McCarthyism eventually got put in its place (as a historical embarrassment), and the country survived the domestic upheaval during Vietnam and everything else that happened in the 60's. I don't think we're anywhere near either of those situations at the moment. And maybe what you're worried about isn't comparable to that, but there are parallels.

Now Dave, play nice. You can't be suggesting the checks and balances of their constitution have failed them.
Actually, it's not the Constitution that's failed us, it's that WE have failed to stop it from being subverted. The problem isn't limited to the current generation, either, but goes all the way back to the First Congress. Unfortunately, when men are placed in positions of power over other men, they are corrupted by that power, and seek out more of it. Many times, this quest for power succeeds at the cost of indiviual freedom. Even if we were to "reboot" the country, the same thing would eventually happen all over again. People are great at pointing and laughing, but nobody has even thought to attempt to come up with a way to stop the problem once and for all, and that includes you. No form of government yet devised has resulted in the utopia we all want to see. So how would you approach it?

Now it has been hijacked by corperate lobby groups and corrupt politicians & war mongers. Eisenhower got it spot on in his last speech, his fears have come to fruition. Hopefully the dark age of American fascism comes to a conclusion soon before WW3 is started with Iran under orders from the Zionists in Israel
