If anyone was paying any attention to Biden’s latest speech, and I’m not sure anyone was, he is getting serious it seems about gun control.
Okay, I know he may not fully grasp all those notes provided him for his speeches and policies but come on man, somewhere in his memory, if he thinks real hard, he must remember he opened our southern border to every illegal including every form of criminals.
What unbelievable contempt the left has for our Constitution, laws, and simple safety of people. Sure shot some career criminal intent on killing you and leftist prosecutors arrest and put you on trial for murder (see Kyle Rittenberger) at the same time they are releasing convicted murders from prison early because of a said disproportionate number of blacks in our prisons.
Guess they missed the BLM statistical release showing that 48% of violent crimes were committed by whites, Asians, Hispanics, and indigenous peoples here in America.
So what’s left?
Well, that means that blacks who are only 13% of the nation’s population are committing 52% of violent crimes (BLM’s words not mine). So how does that translate to any kind of disproportion in the exercise of criminal justice? Only idiots with a warped sense of politically motivated thinking can believe such nonsense.
Still, violent career criminal murders are getting early releases.
Everything I’ve read tells me gun sails are soaring, prices too, and many calibers of ammo are hard to find. Many buyers are also first-time gun owners. Somehow that doesn’t make me think that most people feel really warm, fuzzy, and safe here in Biden’s open borders America.
Now he and his radical leftist handlers can mandate, intimidate, and threaten until the cows come home but their chances of convincing Americans to give up their best defense against psycho criminals has the chance of snowballs in Miami.
I Wonder who they can convince to come and collect all those guns?

Who were the brevet soulgers who came to take all the gold money?
Colonel Sanders knows chickens….
I think everyone needs to get to know their own chickens and invest in a bit of gold if they can get it.
Invest in lead.
The only precious heavy metal that will matter soon enough.
They’ll get a few guns til word gets around.
Then they’ll start getting the bullets first, and then the guns…at which point there’s going to be very few volunteers collecting any firearms….
Just my two bits…..
BINGO!
When the agents of the State can’t be sure of returning to their families, they become agents of the resistance.
QED.
FDR CHOKED ALL THE PUPPIES…and most of them (I have read only 22% of Americans actually turned in their Gold) were in Blue Bubble cities. (Somethings never change).
He went after many of the well know large holders.
WELL WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GOLD?
“Many Americans dutifully turned in their meager holdings. But not everyone. Many simply ignored the order, assumed the risks and stashed them away knowing that gold was more valuable than the paper given in exchange.
Keeping it literally meant the difference between living or dying for some.
There are not significant historical legal records of US citizens being fined or imprisoned for failing to comply. This was the bottom of the depression and average citizens did not have large quantities of gold.
Many were jobless, bankrupt and barely surviving; selling pencils and apples on the street corners as so often depicted in the old black and white newsreels from that era. But wealthy businessmen, bankers and society elites did own considerable gold. They obviously did not turn in their gold. How do we know? Most of the US mint made gold coins that were in circulation at the time ($2.50, $5.00, $10.00 and $20.00 denominations, but mostly the 10 and 20 dollar coins) were simply shipped off in bags by the thousands to European banks (primarily in Switzerland and Great Britain) for anonymous safekeeping, far away from the reach of US authorities.
They simply sat there in darkness and dust buried at the bottom of bank vaults. When gold ownership was again legalized for US citizens in 1975, tons of the coins appeared back on the US market. Many coins thought long since melted appeared, looking as fresh as the day that they were made.
Many coins that were thought to be numismatically rare (meaning that only a few examples have survived and were priced very highly) turned out to exist in quantities of hundreds, even thousands.
To this day there are still occasionally large hoards of US and foreign gold coins likely hidden during the 1930’s that are available to collectors and investors coming onto the market. But rest assured, as a dealer I tell you in all honesty that most small US and foreign gold coins (about 1/10 ounce up to 1 ounce weight) usually disappear as soon as they come on the market. They slip quietly back into the hands of the wise who prefer to store their excess savings in something other than paper”.

Silver will be the game changer for the prudent who don’t own wealth (gold preserves wealth) but who understand ‘money’ and what is almost upon us.
Those who hold PM’s understand history, economic cycles, fiat currency, junk pre 1964, 1971, physical possession, and the really ‘common sense’ filled ones all the other forms of life sustaining Prep (especially the Spiritual) well before they deal with the complexities of Precious Metals in relation to their individual situation.
Time (as always) is the real issue now…no matter your age.
TICK…TOCK.
Isaiah 2:20
In that day people will throw away
to the moles and bats
their idols of silver and idols of gold,
which they made to worship.
I think this is why the gold bugs annoy me so much. Everything people have looked to save themselves, will be useless.
I have mostly bought and occasionally sold (when the macro timing was right) silver and then gold since the early 80’s. Have done the same with stocks, bonds, and real estate. But precious metals was always my favorite.
While constantly reading and studying history, economics, fiat currencies, the Banksters and the politicians they own…I came to understand what it really meant when Johnson took the silver out of coins in 1965 and Nixon took gold away from the dollar in 1971.
I have never bought silver (money) and gold (wealth) to invest or become wealthy with…but to preserve both…*and last but not least to create a legacy for my child and her child.
Considering the state of the world and what we are on the cusp of entering…being a precious metals bug all these decades has been one of the wisest moves I have ever made.

The third Precious Metals Bull Market and the greatest one of my lifetime is on the launch pad.
Silver will far outperform gold this time for many obvious reasons.
This below from the silver chart is false…the paper spot price and the real ‘premium price’ have long separated.
“The current month is updated on an hourly basis with today’s latest value. The current price of silver as of April 20, 2022 is $25.27 per ounce”.
When the Banksters made Gold a TIER ONE ASSET a while back that was a screaming macro signal to buy, hold, and wait.

Who? Dead men.
We desperately need to pick a State and start a secession movement. No, I don’t know how it’d be done nor do I have the resources to start it. I do know the politicians aren’t going to do anything.
Horace Greely said it best:
“Go west young man.”
I like Wyoming. Montana has some real defensible redoubts too.
They’ll do it for us. As things degrade and they lose their ability to provide for everyone they’ll select their redoubts and cut off the places they consider superfluous. Most of them are fairly easy to guess at by looking at the places where the federal dollars barely flow now.
Be there.
Everything I’ve read tells me gun sails are soaring. Gun sails? They must be a new accessory because Buds doesn’t carry them. Is it a drone mounted rifle for hog hunting?
Shit. Now i want a gun sail.
I want one too, but my wife said she was going to take away my iPad if I kept ordering things online. This one might just push her over the edge.
Gun grabbers claim they are concerned about loss of life due to illegal use of firearms. Bullshit! They routinely do not prosecute violations of the laws we have now. Felons routinely do not get prosecuted for having a firearm.
Communists like to have lots of laws so they can selectively prosecute enemies and do favors for their friends.
They know who everyone will be coming for when TSHTF.
Americans legally own 70 times as many firearms as all U.S. military and police forces combined, and most the military’s guns are “deployed” to the 130 countries where there are U.S. bases. THAT is why this illegal government is so desperate to take our guns.
No excuses. VOTE in November!
I so very sincerely hope they don’t follow through with confiscation. It will be horrible all the way around in the end.
If they pick the wrong places to start, it will be horrible from the beginning. It will be Ruby Ridge and Waco nationwide!
The men who come for my guns and my family won’t go home to their families.
A promise.
THE Steve Earle? Just wondering…love his music ..
Harsh.
For an artist.
Those that come looking for guns should always go home to their families.
In a bag.
BTW, Looking at the silhouettes of those weapons of freedom,
Be sure to own the ones that autoload. Or have a good scope on those that don’t.
You must make sure that what you aim at and shoot dies quickly and mercifully.
Hypothetically, you could wound the first target, and then wait for his buddies to try and help him.
Correct.
Then wound the rescuers.
You can have 4 men down, and another 7 trying to evac them.
With 4 shots you’ve eliminated 11 (or more) adversaries.
Ideally, you kill none.
Cripple them for life, and their job as a jackboot is over.
But they are not a martyr.
They are a weak invalid.
Being taken care of by their family.
This saps morale more than deaths that can be rallied around.
Yes. It is much more costly and saps many resources during and after war to take care of the wounded.
Then strip their vehicles,beat the glass out and set them on fire in the middle of the street!
Never destroy what you take and can use against your enemy.
Always destroy what you must leave behind to your enemy.
Just leave ’em. BLM and Antifa will take care of the destruction.
Soldiers and their families have no voice. In addition to the 58,000 killed, over 300,000 were wounded, and 6,000 lost limbs. Didn’t slow Lyndon Johnson (Democrat) down one bit. The people giving the orders are never at risk. Another reason we should never have a president who has not serviced his country first in the military.
Naaaahhh,suffer tyrant!……
That was part of the argument for smaller caliber battle rifles. Kill an enemy soldier you take him out of the battle. Wound him, and if your enemy is civilized, you take at least three out of battle. It’s not about mercy; it’s about winning.
Tyrants like having an unarmed population that is easy to control.
No one, They are just going to make it real hard for anyone to get a firearm and ammunition. the idea that they will come and take guns in mass is a fairy tale. Bread and Circus. Arm up, load up, that’s my advice. Oh ya, learn to use them, practice, then practice some more, reload if you can.
Also, if you don’t have one, get one, if you can’t afford one, then sell all that you have and get one, if you think you don’t need one, get one, if your against them, get one. Don’t get caught wishing you had one when it’s to late to get one.
So at the very least , get one
Gun Ownership is similar to owning a fire extinguisher !
You don’t have it because your going to have a fire . Should the need arise you better have it and know how to use it !
Been said before. Luke 22:36 (King James Version): “Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.”
Yeah, and wait til they try to lock Americans indoors for years on end,
close your employer/business, and force you to take a poison jab produced by the least trustworthy global corps ever to emerge from the depths of Hades ..
Wait until someone like Edward Snowden and Glenn Greenwald stick their necks out to break the news that your Govt has violated all of your basic rights to privacy and enlisted corrupt private sector and foreign actors in the process..
Americans are really going to take to the streets if that ever happened..
In LA during the flooding, the population handed over their guns when the local LE showed up at the door. If you are relying on a gun to save you from the Govt, you already submitted to tyranny a long time ago..
As used to be said, “talk is cheap”.
Red Flag Warrants are already in place for the armed badge wearing Just Doing My Job minions (The New Brown Shirts)
Wouldn’t want to make their political parasite bosses angry so they can and will violate every constitutional right we all think we are protected with .
Once our Bill Of Rights was an impenetrable shield American Citizens wrapped themselves with and no government force could strip away ! Now the parasitic feral cats in government have turned that Sacred Document that limits government into Swiss Cheese !
As those parasites elected hired or appointed at all levels of government scurry about covering up each other’s shit !
We have a front row seat to The Twilights Last Gleaming
FORGET ME NOT
First of all, it won’t happen. But in the unlikely event it does, they won’t come get the guns, they’ll come get you for using it (if you do) so it makes it a one-time tool. Use it to defend yourself, family, or friend, and your life will be forever changed by the full weight of the federal government. That’s how they will control the guns. Remember Ruby Ridge?
I won’t be giving up any guns…because…I have no guns!
Rittenhouse………Death on my feet before life on my knees!
It will be UN military coming for your guns, not American soldiers.
While the headline demonstrates hyperbole that would soon be overwhelmed by the invasion of Ukraine, this is already the case in Canada, where Trudeau brought in planes with UN troops to use against the truckers protesting his tyranny.
I’m guessing the use of UN soldiers to suppress protests and take guns will be a regular thing now.

Dressed as who is the question!……
It’ll be the same folks who helped shut down the churches; taking license plate snapshots of churchgoer cars in the parking lots.
Right now, this very minute, Marjorie Taylor Greene is being persecuted by a kangaroo socialist court for supporting the constitution and the 2nd Amendment. I am hard pressed to think of a reason not to bring hell down on democrat confiscators and their masters. THIS is 1776 and our Lexington and Concord may be right around the corner.
no-one is coming to take anything. what they’ll do is turn off all your financials and electronics and permits until 1) you’re dead or 2) you turn them in yourself. they don’t care which.
