VIRGINIA – HARPER’S FERRY OF OUR TIME?

Guest Post by Mark M.

At latest count, 70 of 95 VA counties have passed Pro 2Amendment sanctuary city/county resolutions or legislation.

This week Virginia Governor Northam made it clear there will be “consequences” if gun control laws are not enforced. Incidentally, Northam also supports the murder of a child AFTER he or she is born. He calls it abortion.

Ironically, any law enforcement “consequences” would have to be handled by….law enforcement. And at least one law enforcement official–Culpeper County VA, Sheriff Scott Jenkins–says he will “deputize thousands” to defend gun rights, should new gun controls be instituted.

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/12/12/ralph-northam-vows-consequences-for-2a-sanctuaries-that-refuse-gun-control/

In 2013 I moved to a rural area of North Carolina to build a modest farm and I mailed this pamphlet below with a letter to my County Sheriff.

THE COUNTY Sheriff: America’s LAST HOPE Pamphlet – 2009

https://www.amazon.com/County-Sheriff-Americas-Last-Hope/dp/B002PKCMFO/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_1?keywords=The+county+Sheriff+Amarica%27s+last+hope&qid=1576454812&s=books&sr=8-1-fkmr2

In the letter I introduced myself, and asked if I could meet the Sheriff for lunch at a restaurant of his choice, at a day, and time of his choice for a meal on me. I told him I wanted to discuss the pamphlet and his views on the contents. I made clear in the letter my support for the 2nd Amendment and I wanted to understand where he stood.

Crickets

However, I received regular letters from him over the years asking for donations for his re-election. My response to him was:

Crickets

Recently he has been indicted and removed from office.

Considering what is now going on in Virginia and soon ‘there will be a new Sheriff in town’ I’m going to make another run at the new Sheriff.

As soon as the new Sheriff is elected or installed, I’m taking a fruit/candy basket to the Sheriff’s Office with half a dozen copies of the pamphlet to pass out among the Deputies, one for the Sheriff, and another invitation to lunch to meet and discuss his/her stance on the booklet and the 2nd Amendment. If we are on the same page, I will support America’s Last Hope with my vote and my money.

I want the Sheriff to know if and when he ever needs civilian ‘Deputies’ to back up our County becoming a Pro 2nd Amendment Sanctuary County, I would like to volunteer and be considered.

These vids are ten years old but are still excellent overviews on why: THE COUNTY SHERIFF IS THE LAST HOPE OF AMERICA

Interesting, that the Virginia Governor’s office is in “The Patrick Henry Building”. The third, fourth, and fifth floors are for the Governor, his Staff, and the General Assembly Staff.

The Govenor’s office building is less than a mile from St. John’s Church, where on March 23 1775, Mr Patrick Henry gave a timeless speech:
“…Give me Liberty, or give me Death.” Maybe the Gov has heard of it(?)

1936 dramatization: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHo-3LEcgQE

Maybe the office building needs renamed… “Thomas Gage Building” ?
after the Governor/General that sent the troops to Lexington and Concord

Fortunately, for the governor, he will not be the one going to take the people’s weapons. He will sit in his comfortable office surrounded by AGW, willing to violate their oath to the Constitution and will send out other AGW to do the dirty work.

You are right that TruNews newscasts are long, but they are usually very good.

I also listen to Greg Hunter sometimes but he is too much of a Trump supporter for me. Other favorites are:

AoC,

This is critical, if this is a trial balloon we have to shoot it down, no pun intended.

I really believe those of us who will actually do something, must reach out to the County Sheriffs. They are our last hope, and I’m going to make another run at my new one.

If my county ever goes Gun Sanctuary, and if my Sheriff ever deputizes citizens, to stand against the Constitutional destroyers, I want to stand in that gap.

Good post Mark, I have met Sheriff Mack multiple times and spoke with him personally on these very issues. Unfortunately few think like him anymore and when push comes to shove most LEO will cave to State and Federal demands because that is where they receive the bulk of their funding.

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.” ― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn

This issue is one reason I got involved with Oath Keepers after Obama was elected. They reach out to LEO’s and Sheriff Mack is a supporter of their efforts.

I’m with you on the Solzhenitsyn regret…this old Marine is not going to any camp, any time, with anyone, for any reason. I have already discussed it in detail with my wife, just in case.

I wonder who is on this list?

MAIN CORE: GOVT. “THREAT LIST” NAMES AT LEAST 8 MILLION AMERICANS WHO WILL BE DETAINED WHEN MARTIAL LAW IS IMPOSE

10 Famous Quotes & Sayings About Medeea Greere

“Main Core is the code name of an American governmental database that is believed to have been in existence since the 1980s. It is believed that Main Core is a federal database containing personal and financial data of millions of United States citizens [clarification needed] believed to be threats to national security.

The data, which is believed to come from the NSA, FBI, CIA, and other sources,is collected and stored without warrants or court orders. The database’s name derives from the fact that it contains “copies of the ‘main core’ or essence of each item of intelligence information on Americans produced by the FBI and the other agencies of the U.S. intelligence community”.

Thanks Mark, I couldn’t agree more. No way am I going anywhere either, not no way. I served also but would rather not get into that here. I stirred the pot a bunch in my county when obama was pres., which led to my meetings with Sheriff Mack, certain that got me on that list of 8 million. I have been asked by more locals than I can count to run for Sheriff but I just can’t see that happening at this point; I know a Sheriff can’t be a Sheriff anymore, it’s all changed. I don’t share any of that as being puffed up or arrogant because no truth in that; pants one leg at a time. All hell is going to break loose in this country, I know it and ain’t a darn thing I can do about it accept be prepared spiritually and physically to the best of my ability.
My dear wife is on board and she can punch a coyotes time card at 400 yards, not too shabby for a lady! I am teaching the grandsons everything I know while there is still time. I carry my lever gun with me every day on the farm and in town because I am old school but when it gets ugly, the other stuff comes out. I was shooting 800 yards at the range recently and an “expert marksman” from Fort Wood (there is a Marine battalion there) showed up to take a look see. Nice young man, he asked me a host of questions and bottom line is he couldn’t hit a bull in the butt with a base fiddle, darn they have gutted our military; head down, grumbling, shaking my head.
I shouldn’t be rattling about this, but I simply can’t take it anymore. I am ticked off, I have watched this country go to hell in a hand basket, stupid little queers running around here in pajamas and pink hair and grown men acting like a bunch of hen pecked pansies. I fear these lefties are going to take it all the way and when the fat lady sings, I have every intention of helping pull the house down around their traitorous heads. When obama made that statement about men clinging to guns and Bibles he was reading my mail. Kill me? Heck yes they are going to kill me but there are far worse things than dying. My two cents from an alpha male who has had enough and can still be a wrecking ball when he gets riled.

The right to own and bear arms goes hand and hand with the right to life. It is impossible to have a right to life, unless you simultainusly have the right to protect that life by having a right to own firearms.
At the point where government removes the right to firearms, they are removing your right to life.
Sherriffs nationwide should support the people in this issue, as Sherriffs are the only legitimate LEO in America. If they do not support the rights of American Citizens they should be voted out.
They are the only LEO’s who are directly elected and directly accountable to the people.
All other LEO’s work under only color of law and are not legitimate LEO’s. All Federal appointed LEO such as FBI and ATF need to be disbanded as they are illigitimate and unconstitutional. No where in the Constitution does the Federal Government gain the authority to create Law Enforcement which is unaccountable and therfore out of the control of the people.

I was once a Reserve Deputy in Illinois. I carried guns in Shitcago and anywhere else I wanted as I was a real, sworn officer with all the rights, duties, etc. This did not sit well with our 100K per year State Police types and their union raised so much hell that there are no old time Sheriff’s Posse organizations left. Why? Because it was discovered that every county with an active reserve deputy association had lower crime rates and the State Police did not need as many troopers in the districts where those counties were located.

This is a good thread to re-post this, and why we absolutely have to make the 2nd Amendment a red line. You can stand as an armed American now or die as an unarmed victim sometime later. If they take our guns – they will take everything else, including our lives. It’s called history.

This needs to reach all of the good people of Virginia. Maybe some on the bubble will realize what is at stake.

“to make the 2nd Amendment a red line.”

that’s obsolete. the real red line is personal, financial, and economic independence, and that line was crossed long ago. given that we have no final ownership or control or asportation of the electronic money we use to obtain housing, water, food, and fuel, the second amendment doesn’t mean much.

That is called HISTORY.

there will be no confiscations. here is what will happen.

One day you find that you are locked out of your bank account. None of your debit cards operate. None of your credit cards function. You cannot pay your mortgage. You cannot buy gasoline. You cannot buy food. You cannot pay your water bill. You receive a form letter in the mail saying, “Our records indicate that you are in possession of certain illegal firearms. Your finances have been locked until this situation is resolved. Please turn them in to your nearest sheriff’s office. Your finances may be restored after your case is reviewed and a determination made.”

what will you do?

you’ll turn them in. because those who would confiscate your weapons want you out of the way, nothing more and nothing less. by turning off your financials and leaving you unable to function in the modern world they achieve that aim. at that point, whether you turn in your weapons or not is completely irrelevant to them. you can shoot the bureaucrats or blow up the ATMs or rob grocery stores all day long for all they care, it will not touch them. in their eyes, and in modern world reality, you will be dead already and there will be nothing you can do about it. now of course if you prostrate yourself before them and offer up your weapons as penance these people will have an interest in retaining you as a productive member of their society – but only if and as and until you so prostrate yourself. but whether you do or don’t, you can’t touch them or their lives or their power.

“molon labe”? they won’t take your weapons. they will take you yourself. your weapons will fall to the ground unused.

and if any of you actually do cause major problems for them, they simply will send a drone and drop a low-collateral-damage bomb on your house or wheveever else they think you are. done. one drone per city, one or two bombs a day, for years on end. just like they do overseas.

gman,

“to make the 2nd Amendment a red line.”

I’m well aware of the incursions on the one Amendment that protects all the others.

1968: The Gun Control Act of 1968 comes from Jxxish Rep. Emanuel Celler’s House bill H.R. 17735. It expands legislation already attempted by the non-Jxxish Sen. Thomas Dodd. America’s biggest and most far-reaching gun law came from a Jxx.

1988: Senate bill S. 1523 is sponsored by Jxxish Senator Howard Metzenbaum. It proposes legislation turning every violation of the Gun Control Act of 1968 into a RICO predicate offense, allowing a gun owner to be charged with federal racketeering offenses.

1988: Senator Metzenbaum co-sponsors a bill — S. 2180 — to ban, or limit/restrict, so-called “plastic guns.”

1990: Jxxish Senator Herbert Kohl introduces bill S.2070, the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990, which bans gun possession in a school zone. The law will later be struck down in court as unconstitutional.

1993: Senate bill S.653 is sponsored by Sen. Howard Metzenbaum. It bans specific semiautomatic rifles, but also gives the Secretary of the Treasury the power to add any semiautomatic firearm to the list at a later date.

February, 1994: The Brady Law, which requires waiting periods to buy handguns, becomes effective. Senator Metzenbaum wrote the Brady Bill. Metzenbaum sponsored the bill in the Senate. The sponsor of the bill in the House was Jxxish Rep. Charles Schumer.

1994: Senator Metzenbaum introduces S.1878, the Gun Violence Prevention Act of 1994, aka “Brady II.” Rep. Schumer sponsored “Brady II” sister legislation [H.R. 1321] in the U.S. House of Representatives.

September, 1994: The Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994 goes into effect, including a provision that bans the manufacture and possession of semiautomatic rifles described as “assault weapons.” [Note: true assault weapons are fully automatic, not semiautomatic]. That gun-ban provision was authored in the Senate by Jxxish Senator Dianne Feinstein and authored in the House by Congressman Schumer.

1995: Jxxish Senators Kohl, Specter, Feinstein, Lautenberg and others introduce the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1995, an amended version of the 1990 school-zone law which was struck down in court as being unconstitutional.

February 1995: Sen. Dianne Feinstein announces her goal of “…an outright ban [of all firearms], picking up every one of them — Mr. and Mrs. America turn ’em all in.…”

September, 1996: The Lautenberg Domestic Confiscation provision becomes law. It is part of a larger omnibus appropriations bill. It was sponsored by Jxxish Senator Frank Lautenberg. It bans people convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence from ever owning a gun.

1997: Senate bill S. 54, the Federal Gang Violence Act of 1997, proposes much harsher sentences for people violating minor gun laws, including mandatory prison sentences and forfeiture of property. It was introduced by Dianne Feinstein and a non-Jxxish Senator [Hatch], among others. It returns the idea of turning every violation of the Gun Control Act of 1968 into a RICO predicate offense.

January, 1999: Jxxish Senator Barbara Boxer introduces bill S.193, the American Handgun Standards Act of 1999.

January, 1999: Senator Kohl introduces bill S.149, the Child Safety Lock Act of 1999. It would to require a child safety lock in connection with transfer of a handgun.

February, 1999: Senator Frank Lautenberg introduces bill S.407, the Stop Gun Trafficking Act of 1999.

February, 1999: Senator Lautenberg introduces S.443, the Gun Show Accountability Act of 1999.

March, 1999: Senator Lautenberg introduces bill S.560, the Gun Industry Accountability Act of 1999.

March, 1999: Senator Feinstein introduces bill S.594, the Large Capacity Ammunition Magazine Import Ban Act of 1999.

May, 2000: Senate bill S. 2515, Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2000, is submitted by Senators Feinstein, Senator Barbara Boxer, Sen. Lautenberg and Sen. Schumer. It is a plan for a national firearms licensing system.

January, 2001: Senate bill S.25, Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2001, is sponsored by Feinstein, Schumer, and Boxer. It is a nation-wide gun registration plan [apparently there were two versions of that Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act bill].

May, 2003: Senators Feinstein, Schumer, Boxer and others introduce legislation that would reauthorize the 1994 federal assault weapons ban, and, close a loophole in the law that allows large-capacity ammunition magazines to be imported into the U.S. The ban is scheduled to expire in September, 2004.

October, 2003: Senators Feinstein, Lautenberg, Levin [also Jxxish] and Schumer co-sponsor bill S.1774, designed to stop the sunset [ending] of the Undetectable Firearms Act of 1988.

March, 2005: Senator Lautenberg introduces bill S.645, “to reinstate the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act,” in other words, to reinstate the 1994 assault-rifle ban [also known as the “Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994″] which expired in late 2004.

March, 2005: Senator Feinstein introduces bill S.620, “to reinstate the Public Safety and Recreational Firearms Use Protection Act,” in other words, to reinstate the 1994 assault-rifle ban [also known as the “Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994″] which expired in late 2004.

July, 2005: Senator Dianne Feinstein introduces bill S.A.1621 – Fifty-Caliber Sniper Weapons. This amendment would convert all .50 BMG firearms to NFA weapons.

July, 2005: Senator Dianne Feinstein introduces bill S.A.1622 – Fifty-Caliber Exclusion to S.397. This amendment would modify S.397 to allow suits when the firearm involved was a .50 caliber weapon.

July, 2005: Senator Barbara Boxer introduces bill S.A.1633 – BATFE Safety Standards. This amendment allows law suits to continue/be brought if the product did not meet the safety standards as defined by the BATFE.

July, 2005: Senator Barbara Boxer introduces bill S.A.1634 – ‘Sporting Use’ on Domestic Handguns. Applying ’sporting use’ clause requirements to domestic handguns could, almost completely, dry up the handgun availability in the United States.

November 2017: Senator Dianne Feinstein introduces “Assault Weapon Ban of 2017,” S. 2095, the most far-reaching gun gun ban ever introduced in the US Knesset…er, Congress. Among the cunningly expansive definitions of “assault weapon,” the definition of pistol grip even implicates traditional wooden hunting rifle stocks. Shortly after introducing her ban, she leaked classified information and, when exposed, blamed her crime on “slow mental facilities” [sic] due to a cold.

March 2018: U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz introduces Ammunition Background Check Act of 2018

January 2019: Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn) introduce S.66 “Assault Weapon Ban of 2019,” co-sponsors include Senators Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), Ben Cardin (D-Md.), Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).

June 2019: Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) re-introduced the Equal Access to Justice for Victims of Gun Violence Act.

August 2019 Trump’s Chabadnik daughter does the legwork to promote “…take the guns first, then do due process second” gun laws.

Ivanka Lobbies Congress to Reject the 2nd Amendment, Push Gun Control

etc., etc., etc.

In the context of this thread and what is going on in Virginia I posted about, I stand with that statement.

And I’ll add this to it as I have already made two purchases.

Now, as far as your contention”

“there will be no confiscations. here is what will happen.”

I believe there is a considerable possibility during the coming Civil War 2 – Economic Collapse as the Everything Bubble pops, (not sure what one will come first – but one will trigger the other) TSHTF, TEOTWAWKI, Great Reset, 4th Turning, and last but not least, The Tribulation with all Four Horses galloping across the world, your contention that we all are doomed no matter what we do is far, far too hopeless and defeatist for me buddy.

Is it possible, especially after the Antichrist is in power, yep. But, then again God has always kept and protected a remnant. So there is that.

Like Greg Hunter says at the end of his Friday News wrap up.

“FEAR NOT…God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit are fully in control!”

“my aim is to get people to look around and consider not just the gun in their hand and the resolve in their mind but also their overarching circumstances.”

Really??? Why would you assume most here haven’t already made that basic, common sense, foundational ‘situational awareness’ reality check? You don’t think most here arn’t….already there?

“that you defy the circumstances in the name of a faith of chosen-ness makes me feel a bit more hopeless.”

I don’t ‘defy’ the circumstances in the name of ‘a’ faith, I ‘define’ them with ‘my’ faith.

In a moment of brokenness and thankfulness I named my Daughter FAITH.

If you’re hopeless I’m sorry for you about that, but that’s you…not me.

Gman: this scenario you posted is the exact reason why ‘they’ want to abolish cash .As to the sheriffs? Many are politicians first and they profit from the status quo. Civil asset forfeiture is conducted by sheriffs to get ready cash and other goodies and the unlucky slob they target can pound sand. How many sheriffs are patriots vs. drones remains to be seen.

Another possible scenario is one posited by Matt Bracken in his essay “What I Saw at the Coup” where he describes a scenario that happens after the destruction of the conservatives in society, when the progressives have supposedly won and guerilla actions begin to happen…..

.”… The first real jolt indicating a serious problem with the plan came when television reporter Cathy Carlsen was killed in Norfolk, shot dead while covering the commissioning of the Harvey Milk, the Navy’s newest destroyer. That she was killed was bad enough. That it happened on a “secure” naval base—a federal installation—made it much worse. Her blood splattered across the Admirals’ white uniforms made quite a picture. The videos…

We were two women born in the same year, with similar academic backgrounds. We had known each other for decades, and her untimely death hit me hard. Cathy Carlsen had been a reliable voice on the progressive side of a supposedly impartial television news network. That a respected member of the media would be assassinated was big surprise, at least to me. Up to that point, only a few federal officials and high-ranking agents had been targeted.”

“the exact reason why ‘they’ want to abolish cash”

yep. though actually they’re just about at that level of control even with cash still floating around – few people use cash at all anymore, and pretty much no-one is paid in cash in any significant quantity.

“when television reporter Cathy Carlsen was killed in Norfolk”

see, it’s this kind of story-telling that distracts from our actual situation. killing reporters (or anyone else) won’t put gasoline in your car’s tank or authorize your grocery store to sell you food. you can get all violent all you want but the financial system won’t care, if you’ve been switched off it will just blink at you and not respond.

Troops may not have a choice…never, ever, get too complacent. The new Army contains many non-Americans and non-Christians.

The troops aren’t allowed to carry arms, they’d be at a real disadvantage should someone armed go against them.

(sigh) fighting won’t be the issue. fighting won’t matter.

but as far as fighting goes, I asked a combat-experienced marine about that very issue – would infantry units turn against americans? he thought about if for ten minutes and finally answered, “half would, half would not.” and that’s combat units, populated mostly by americans who see themselves as citizens. most other units, populated by new/non/anti-citizen personnel who are loyal only to their paychecks and their race, will have higher official compliance rates. this whole “the military is with us” thing is not going to go the way the fictional stories suggest.

They are really pushing the envelope. Is it a trial balloon? Is it a consorted plan with a couple of FF coming? Is it an attempt to start a Civil War? Is it just stupid overreach?

An American Civil War is a win/win for the Luciferian Globalists. The US as a Superpower will be destroyed by Civil War 2, broken into multiple Regional Balkanized enclaves, and it will allow them to move forward with their NWO. Then they can absorb the enclaves later.

I believe it is no accident the Bible says when the Anti-Christ takes over the world is broken into 10 Kingdoms, and the UN’s 2030 Agenda has the world broken into 10 Regions. What a coinky-dink.

I never thought, in my whole life, I’d be worried about shit like this. I need to start reading some better stuff and go back to church. The problem about that is, even in the church, you have differences of opinion. My skepticism always leads me to believe the truth does not exist.

Mark, I can name only 5, 6 maybe 7 people here that have real depth. I was raised 7th Day Adventist and up until HS graduation, if you had asked me, I would have told you that only 7th Day Adventists would be saved. I really believed that. And that only 7th Day Adventists would be persecuted. I really believed that. Maybe that is still true. What the hell do I know? Really? If I am not mistaken, only 7th Day Adventists and Jews worship on Saturday. What the hell is that supposed to mean? The hell if I know. The Pope says he is in direct contact with God and the only one able to communicate his message. I’m off my rocker. Don’t even know why I’m mentioning these things. I think I need to lay down.

Give me your single best book recommendation other than the bible. A book that can prove the truth does exist.

Just read it with an open heart and ask God for understanding, it’s not complicated. Forget about all the different denominations, sects, cults…and all their extra crap and scripture out of context. Work it out with your Creator, its between you and him anyway.

It is also a video series on TV that is fantastic as well.

“Give me your single best book recommendation other than the bible. A book that can prove the truth does exist.”

Why “other than the Bible”? It’s that very mindset which has brought the world to the position it’s in. I couldn’t provide another book. It’s the Bible or nothing. Give it the hardest most thorough scrutiny you can muster; try to prove it false with all your might. It is the only book which stands unfailingly. Read Romans… again and again and again. Until you get it.

“BUT NOW”… find every occurrence. Find truth. It’s right there in a KJB for any and all to see.

Religion is poison. Truth is freedom. Religion was killed on the cross. Salvation can only be freely offered, freely accepted. I so hope you find it.

I agree the Bible is the book, the source, the word, but sometimes having it broken down by a study Bible, a commentary, a book like Dr. Missler’s is an excellent foundation for someone just getting started. I know all three of those, with time and diligence helped me.

Spot on. The real issue may be: These people know this and must have a way to disarm us. Our mission is to figure out how, outside of the Sheriff’s office purview, will they go about confiscation? Taxing the shit out of, or make a health/environmental hazard, out of the materials to make the cartridges? Federally deputizing all the dazzling urbanites to confiscate our arms, not caring whether or not they get lead poisoning? Work their way confiscating from the liberal enclaves in each state and slowly expand outwards? Isolate the areas that are strongly pro-2A, re: Appalachia, and cut these areas off economically and food/utilities? I’m doing what little I can with Sheriff Smith in Colorado, but I fear an end-around or a reach-around…

“The intent of the founding fathers on the second amendment was so that the people of this country would have the final say in controlling their government.”

Part 1, 9:19

Clearest breakdown of 2a that I have ever heard. Thanks, Mark, for a provocative post. I agree with MC that this is a trial of some sort, a dry-run to see how people will react. Which I think THEY know/knew already . . . and having been “reassured”, they are now, I think, preparing an alternate course of action. An FF, probably, not because it will work but because it will distract people for a few weeks while some new virus or exotic bacteria starts making the rounds.

Only way to confiscate guns from a disobedient populace without also destroying the infrastructure and other “assets” (or having such destroyed by the “dissidents”) is to ignore the guns altogether and reduce the number of people who can wield them.

Is an ugly scenario, but as the Japanese recognized in WWII, there is, indeed, a gun behind every blade of grass. The Japanese, at the time, did not have the means to mow the grass, so to speak, but today, the satanic godlet bastards do.
