Guest Post by John W. Whitehead
“We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.” — Ayn Rand
What we do not need is yet another pretext by which government officials can violate the Fourth Amendment at will under the guise of public health and safety.
Indeed, at a time when red flag gun laws (which authorize government officials to seize guns from individuals viewed as a danger to themselves or others) are gaining traction as a legislative means by which to allow police to remove guns from people suspected of being threats, it wouldn’t take much for police to be given the green light to enter a home without a warrant in order to seize lawfully-possessed firearms based on concerns that the guns might pose a danger.
Frankly, a person wouldn’t even need to own a gun to be subjected to such a home invasion.
SWAT teams have crashed through doors on lesser pretexts based on false information, mistaken identities and wrong addresses.
Nineteen states and the District of Columbia have adopted laws allowing the police to remove guns from people suspected of being threats. If Congress succeeds in passing the Federal Extreme Risk Protection Order, which would nationalize red flag laws, that number will grow.
As The Washington Post reports, these red flag gun laws “allow a family member, roommate, beau, law enforcement officer or any type of medical professional to file a petition [with a court] asking that a person’s home be temporarily cleared of firearms. It doesn’t require a mental-health diagnosis or an arrest.”
In the wake of yet another round of mass shootings, these gun confiscation laws—extreme risk protection order (ERPO) laws—may appease the fears of those who believe that fewer guns in the hands of the general populace will make our society safer.
Of course, it doesn’t always work that way.
Anything—knives, vehicles, planes, pressure cookers—can become a weapon when wielded with deadly intentions.
With these red flag gun laws, the stated intention is to disarm individuals who are potential threats… to “stop dangerous people before they act.”
While in theory it appears perfectly reasonable to want to disarm individuals who are clearly suicidal and/or pose an “immediate danger” to themselves or others, where the problem arises is when you put the power to determine who is a potential danger in the hands of government agencies, the courts and the police.
We’ve been down this road before.
Remember, this is the same government that uses the words “anti-government,” “extremist” and “terrorist” interchangeably.
This is the same government whose agents are spinning a sticky spider-web of threat assessments, behavioral sensing warnings, flagged “words,” and “suspicious” activity reports using automated eyes and ears, social media, behavior sensing software, and citizen spies to identify potential threats.
This is the same government that has a growing list—shared with fusion centers and law enforcement agencies—of ideologies, behaviors, affiliations and other characteristics that could flag someone as suspicious and result in their being labeled potential enemies of the state.
For instance, if you believe in and exercise your rights under the Constitution (namely, your right to speak freely, worship freely, associate with like-minded individuals who share your political views, criticize the government, own a weapon, demand a warrant before being questioned or searched, or any other activity viewed as potentially anti-government, racist, bigoted, anarchic or sovereign), you could be at the top of the government’s terrorism watch list.
Moreover, as a New York Times editorial warns, you may be an anti-government extremist (a.k.a. domestic terrorist) in the eyes of the police if you are afraid that the government is plotting to confiscate your firearms, if you believe the economy is about to collapse and the government will soon declare martial law, or if you display an unusual number of political and/or ideological bumper stickers on your car.
Let that sink in a moment.
Now consider the ramifications of giving police that kind of authority: to preemptively raid homes in order to neutralize a potential threat.
It’s a powder keg waiting for a lit match.
Under these red flag laws, what happened to Duncan Lemp—who was gunned down in his bedroom during an early morning, no-knock SWAT team raid on his family’s home—could very well happen to more people.
At 4:30 a.m. on March 12, 2020, in the midst of a COVID-19 pandemic that had most of the country under a partial lockdown and sheltering at home, a masked SWAT team—deployed to execute a “high risk” search warrant for unauthorized firearms—stormed the suburban house where 21-year-old Duncan, a software engineer and Second Amendment advocate, lived with his parents and 19-year-old brother.
The entire household, including Lemp and his girlfriend, was reportedly asleep when the SWAT team directed flash bang grenades and gunfire through Lemp’s bedroom window.
Lemp was killed and his girlfriend injured.
No one in the house that morning, including Lemp, had a criminal record.
No one in the house that morning, including Lemp, was considered an “imminent threat” to law enforcement or the public, at least not according to the search warrant.
So what was so urgent that militarized police felt compelled to employ battlefield tactics in the pre-dawn hours of a day when most people are asleep in bed, not to mention stuck at home as part of a nationwide lockdown?
According to police, they were tipped off that Lemp was in possession of “firearms.”
Thus, rather than approaching the house by the front door at a reasonable hour in order to investigate this complaint—which is what the Fourth Amendment requires—police instead strapped on their guns, loaded up their flash bang grenades and carried out a no-knock raid on the household.
According to the county report, the no-knock raid was justified “due to Lemp being ‘anti-government,’ ‘anti-police,’ currently in possession of body armor, and an active member of the Three Percenters,” a far-right paramilitary group that discussed government resistance.
This is what happens when you adopt red flag gun laws, painting anyone who might be in possession of a gun—legal or otherwise—as a threat that must be neutralized.
Therein lies the danger of these red flag laws, specifically, and pre-crime laws such as these generally where the burden of proof is reversed and you are guilty before you are given any chance to prove you are innocent.
Red flag gun laws merely push us that much closer towards a suspect society where everyone is potentially guilty of some crime or another and must be preemptively rendered harmless.
Where many Americans go wrong is in naively assuming that you have to be doing something illegal or harmful in order to be flagged and targeted for some form of intervention or detention.
In fact, all you need to do these days to end up on a government watch list or be subjected to heightened scrutiny is use certain trigger words (like cloud, pork and pirates), surf the internet, communicate using a cell phone, limp or stutter, drive a car, stay at a hotel, attend a political rally, express yourself on social media, appear mentally ill, serve in the military, disagree with a law enforcement official, call in sick to work, purchase materials at a hardware store, take flying or boating lessons, appear suspicious, appear confused or nervous, fidget or whistle or smell bad, be seen in public waving a toy gun or anything remotely resembling a gun (such as a water nozzle or a remote control or a walking cane), stare at a police officer, question government authority, appear to be pro-gun or pro-freedom, or generally live in the United States.
Be warned: once you get on such a government watch list—whether it’s a terrorist watch list, a mental health watch list, a dissident watch list, or a red flag gun watch list—there’s no clear-cut way to get off, whether or not you should actually be on there.
You will be flagged as a potential threat and dealt with accordingly.
You will be tracked by the government’s pre-crime, surveillance network wherever you go.
Hopefully you’re starting to understand how easy we’ve made it for the government to identify, label, target, defuse and detain anyone it views as a potential threat for a variety of reasons that run the gamut from mental illness to having a military background to challenging its authority to just being on the government’s list of persona non grata.
The government has been building its pre-crime, surveillance network in concert with fusion centers (of which there are 78 nationwide, with partners in the private sector and globally), data collection agencies, behavioral scientists, corporations, social media, and community organizers and by relying on cutting-edge technology for surveillance, facial recognition, predictive policing, biometrics, and behavioral epigenetics (in which life experiences alter one’s genetic makeup).
Combine red flag laws with the government’s surveillance networks and its plan to establish an agency that will take the lead in identifying and targeting “signs” of mental illness or violent inclinations among the populace by using artificial intelligence to collect data from Apple Watches, Fitbits, Amazon Echo and Google Home, and you’ll understand why some might view gun control legislation with trepidation.
No matter how well-meaning the politicians make these encroachments on our rights appear, in the right (or wrong) hands, benevolent plans can easily be put to malevolent purposes.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People and in its fictional counterpart The Erik Blair Diaries, even the most well-intentioned government law or program can be—and has been—perverted, corrupted and used to advance illegitimate purposes once profit and power are added to the equation.
The war on terror, the war on drugs, the war on illegal immigration, the war on COVID-19: all of these programs started out as legitimate responses to pressing concerns and have since become weapons of compliance and control in the government’s hands.
No matter how well-intentioned, red flag gun laws will put a target on the back of every American whether or not they own a weapon.

Anonymous tip – tipster “feels” unsafe. No knock 4:00 am police raid. Ensuing gun fight where home owner believes he is victim of home invasion. Another dead gun owner. For safety.
You will have George Soros money and groups of paid activists using these red flag laws to systematically clean guns out of entire cities. It will be like a Franz Kafka novel.
As I have pointed out repeatedly on many forums, HARDENED ENTRY POINTS.
The pigs expect little resistance as they rarely face any. Once they can’t bash the door in, their little order following brains don’t know what to do. You can see this in videos where they can’t breech the door.
They won’t go away but it will give you time to assess the situation. Your odds of survival go way up if you don’t have to deal with them in your bedroom.
A flash bang through my bedroom window would work… You want me to live in a bunker?
I thought of an IED planted under the front porch and controllable from inside, but scotched the idea as having too much potential for error. Besides, a flash bang through the bedroom window seems most likely.
They’ll start in the cities, right? When that happens, I’ll go talk to my County Sheriff and volunteer my services, for what little they will be worth.
We ended one deployment with an outdoor flashbang fight with our leftovers. They can suck it. No swat douchebag can threaten me in a heads up.
They are like weekend warriors, only less competent.
We had an LA swat and a delta advisor attached to us for about 6 weeks. Though I went out of my way to pick their brains, there was nothing they could offer. Sweet contracts, though, I am sure.
The government thugs want us scared, but I am done being afraid. I just want to raise good wholesome food and live with the land.
Amen, brother. My good friend, Grace Country Pastor, has a great picture framed in his house, with the inscription, maybe paraphrased, “all I want is a house by the side of the road and to be a friend to man.”
’nuff said.
I like some version of it where it is said to make of our crops people. Meaning it is better to lead people to the light than to sit on your ass and do nothing. For this I am very remiss not to make it to HSF shindig. But it is only because I am making my place in his image and it takes a lot of work.
Tanks for saying that. It is a lot of work, but that’s why we’re here. And you’re spot on about the people part. I had a neighbor couple bring their six chickens over the other morning so I could show them how to slaughter and dress them. 5 years ago they were a banker and a professor and now they are seriously homesteading and have never looked or seemed happier.
It’s all going to be fine as long as we pay attention to what is important and do what we can.
Nope. Don’t really care. Offered advice. Accept it or don’t.
As far as “hardened entries” goes, I have to reject it.
“They’ll start in the cities, right?”
they’ll start where they think the most opposition will be.
Why would they do that? Destroying the l;ow hanging fruit will encourage the troops and perhaps dishearten the real opposition. Besides the chance of plunder is greater in the cities.
A flash bang of your own to throw back would make a statement.
An elastic net on the inside of your bedroom window could be hilarious.

Right. As soon as a flash bang goes off in my bedroom, I’ll grab one of my own and toss it back outside… Sure.
You have flash bangs? Good for you. I don’t want any.
Remote controlled gun turrets? A robot with a zip gun hiding in the shed? A safe room where you can engage remotely?

Who are you? 🥷🏿
sounds annoying…
According to the assumptions of the ignorant yet certain locals, agent Glowie McGlower.
You glow.
Thanks for the confirmation of my previous post.
Before the Law…
Our national government and many of our state governments have intended tyranny, and been working toward it, for decades. The “soft” tyrants like FDR and Nixon prepared the way. The radical insurrectionists of the ’60s thought they would bring it on with a revolution by “the workers”, workers who had never in history had it as good as in post war America, and in general knew it. Of course they failed to incite the workers (productive people); but they didn’t give up, and won’t.
They know openly express their disdain for our Supreme Law and the rule of law in general.
Everyone who’s paying attention knows who they are and what they intend- the revolutionary destruction of America.
I’ve been on some sort of government list since at least 1984. I couldn’t avoid it without denying basic truths that are crucial to individual liberty, which I won’t do.
These would be tyrants can’t even be credited with being sincere Marxists or socialists of any variety. They are simply power hungry thieves.
Wideguy, think the peeps can vote their way out of this tyranny bs?
Let’s think… The control of elections has been given to the TwoParties/Uniparty… In order to further ‘democracy’ and make sure their candidates win.
Do you see it that way?
What I hope is that the law can be restored and used to give traitors and corrupt criminals their just deserts.
I make no predictions.
Yes indeedy. Resist everything now.
Here’s a red flag for the fags. I’m not a big fan of AK’s. I’m used to looking down long guns. Seems my AK was made for midgets. No adjustable stock option I know of, perhaps, but $$ are tight. I’d just like to add about 2″ to the stock so my eyeballs comfortably align with the sights. I’ve looked many places for butt plates and just don’t seem to find what I’m looking for. It’s a WASR ,red flag , Century Arms International, with wooden stock, the one people complained about canted front sight.
Old Hickok45 on YouTube is 6’8″, so he has that problem with almost all long guns.
He found a rubber slip on butt pad which gives him somewhere between 1.5 to 2 inches in additional length. They should be readily available and can’t cost much.
Yeah. Old Hickok45 has good tips. Looking for a permanent putt pad that won’t require alteration. I’ve seen them at Centerfire Systems, just have to chance a fit without filing.
I’ve a slip on for my Mosins just to absorb recoil as they do tend to bruise.
“I’ve a slip on for my Mosins just to absorb recoil as they do tend to bruise.”
Pussy.
Yeah? When is the last time you shot 100 rounds of 7.62 x 54R without one?
Here’s some more “ammo”for the red flag perverts not that I’m concerned. My British .303 No. 4 Enfield manufactured by Savage in 1942 has some recoil also yet IMO not quite like the Mosins. The .303 is a bit heavier and absorbs recoil better. I’ve never used a slip on recoil pad on the .303 but then I’ve never shot 100 rounds in one target session even when the ammo was more reasonably priced, perhaps two boxes of 20 rounds. It’s a fine shooting military surplus rifle I’ve had since I was 10 as dad bought it at a then White’s Auto store for $13. Probably my favorite firearm. Ammo prices for it have gotten beyond ridiculous so what ammo I do have is reserved for emergencies. Hell of a shooter and more accurate than the Mosins.
You misunderstand. The 20 million AR-15’ in private hands are just an excuse to raid the homes of those who verbally and publicly uphold freedom, the constitution and who expose government corruption.
You could always get hue lights and set up an Alexa command to make them start strobing when something goes bump in the night. It would at least ruin the invader’s night vision and make things more interesting. Lol
If you have an Alexa you’re a moran
No Shit.
Police -“Alexa, what is the exact location of the target in his home?”
Alexa – “Soundly sleeping in his bedroom, NW corner, second floor. I have unlocked the doors and disabled the alarm as per your order.”
911…
Yeah there’s this guy in the neighborhood. I don’t know him. I’ve seen small children at his house. There was a van parked there that said First Baptist of Anytown.
Sir, is this an emergency?
Well, I think so. I saw the neighbor unloading what looked like an assault rifle with a bump stock. I’ve only seen pictures of those and heard about them. Also, he had a couple of those military type ammunition cans. I’ve only seen pictures of those too. I’m concerned what “might” be going on there.
Yes sir. Completely understand your concern. We will dispatch a SWAT team just to be safe. Thank you.
Sure, yeah, uh, thank you.
You can bet many of us on this site would be inordinately affected by these red flag laws. I suspect, based on some of the comments and downvotes on this site, it’s already under watch. I don’t doubt that there has been an influx of paid actors visiting and commenting here most recently.
It has been for a few weeks now. Lots of people named Anonymous trying to bait us Burners with glowie posts. Gonna be an interesting few months.
Paranoia. Another angle they exploit.
Wait a minute. Are you telling me I can get paid for this?
Yeah. Give these guys a call. They’ll throw a few shekels your way. And just because you’re paranoid don’t mean they’re not after you.

Geez, I should have read your post before my reply. Do they have a way to sign up for money? Perhaps I’ll look. They might be gullible enough that I could con some money out of them. Yippee!
Are you telling me all these conspiracy theories coming true is just a figment of my imagination?
Who you gonna believe, the FIB or your lyin eyes?
FBI IS correct. Federal Bureau of Insurrection
It seems plausible. I don’t know who you should contact to get on the payroll…
Maybe, if you seem to be serving a real purpose, they will contact you.
…or make an attempt at recruitment.
Best choice? Stay under the radar.
Do you think being Anonymous here actually makes you invisible?
Well shit howdy to that one.

LOL, that Doors album was the first I had. Mom bought it for me as a birthday gift and I’m sure she just took it as music kids were listening to.
I may not be smart but I stayed overnite at a Morrison Hotel once.
Doing some bio checking, Jim Morrison was born in ’43, I would have guessed a bit later. Hunter S. Thompson was born in ’37. Seems the two would have gotten along well with the boozing/drug lifestyles.

People are getting pissed and rightfully so. Not everyone is a glownigger.
Violence is not a solution in a fragmented society, but neither is rolling over for evil.
People are always pissed about something regardless. “The world owes me. “
You are right, but lately there have been some anons that sure have a faint glow about them.
It’s only one guy.

what’s a burner?
You think the Stuck guy is being paid?
At least no one had yet doxxed me on this forum, which happened to me on the Libertarian’s Forum.com, since defunct. I was not well liked there, being a libertarian.
Libertarians are as confused as every other manufactured ideology. There’s no one size fits all solution, except admission that people are not things.
Libertarians are very liberal about allowing each individual their own opinion and the right to express it.
Theories of general liberty aren’t manufactured ideologies, and individual liberty does indeed fit all.
Whatever list I was one when I left the army, I am apparently not on it anymore.
I wish someone would have paid me to promote gun violence. My hobby, really! Hi to fellow Feds, btw. I hope you and your family have plenty of blood clots this weekend.
We have red flag laws in Canada already. Anyone can contact the RCMP to report a lawful firearm owner for any reason and it may result in the lawful firearm owner having their firearms license revoked.
This is the difference between Canada’s and the US’ laws regarding firearms. In Canada, firearms ownership is a privilege granted to you by the government, which they can take away from you for any or no reason at all. In the US it is your right to own a firearm if you chose to do so and your constitution prevents the government from putting any restrictions on that firearms ownership, including clearly unconstitutional red flag laws.
You need to dump that fucking Queen like Barbados just did. Nothing will be sorted out in the Commonwealth until the royal line is wiped.
Agreed.
The Windsors are a burden on society.
I just don’t see how they are relevant when the monarch is a rubber stamp for the parliament. I’m an Anglo Saxon American and thus my opinion is irrelevant but I’d like to see the monarchy retained but with a non pozzed family in possession of it. Why? It’s a connection with out past and who we are. It’s an anchor.
It’s a connection with their past and who they are. the original family tree consisted of 1 & 1/3
The “Windsors” conveniently changed their inherited surnames from Saxe-Coburg Gotha due to issues surrounding WW1. As the Reds took over Russia, Czar Alexander II asked his cousin, George V of England, for refuge. That request was refused and everyone knows what happened to the Czar and his family.
IMO, monarchies tend to produce elitist, treacherous scumbags and the “Windsors” are a great example of such.
They keep pretending she is alive so some commonwealth can’t leave.
“…and your constitution prevents the government from putting any restrictions on that firearms ownership, including clearly unconstitutional red flag laws.“
Oh only if that were so…we have 5 unelected officials who can interpret the Constitution any way they choose.
Black robed lawyers.
Black robed intergalactic arbiters of everything.
Since laws are optional now according to our overlords,
just ignore it all.
Laws are optional for them, not for us.
Become ungovernable.
5?
Anyway Abbie, the way I see it is that the States, being the original creators of the compact of the Constitution on behalf of the People of their States, have a final word on what the States agreed to, except that the People have the final word on what it actually means and was intended to do.
I know that’s radical, positing that people aren’t subjects, and governments are their servants, but that’s the way it is, by Law, in America.
9 Justices, but you only need 5 to deliver (& agree on) their opinion. This is what it boils down to.
And, cute idea you got going on there.
I think they tried that idea. It was called secession.
secession is when the state leaves. is it secession if the federal government fails and leaves the state on its own?
Not at all what I’m talking about. The slave states succeeded because they saw the handwriting on the wall, that new states would come into the Union as free states, and when there were enough of them, they would amend the Constitution to prohibit slavery. That was not an issue of SCOTUS or any other branch of the government mis-interpreting the Law.
25 And this is the writing that was written, Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: Mene; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
27 Tekel; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
28 Peres; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
I just always ask people to point out where judicial review is located in the constitution.
Marbury vs Madison
Not in the constitution, as I’m sure you know. Merely self proclaimed.
That was an assumed power and I am sure you know how to spell ass u me!
I know how to spell ‘usurpation’.
It’s not my idea, and I don’t think “cute” is the proper word for it.
Shall I quote from the words of the people who created the Constitution?
In fact, the right of self defense is fundamental to all humanity. The right to own the means of protecting your life and property and liberty is a right of all humans everywhere.
That your government is more openly tyrannical, denying you rights that were possessed by all Englishmen when Canada was a colony is a shame, but your problem, not ours.
“The right to own the means of protecting your life and property”
(nod) right to life -> right to self defense -> right to tools of self-defense -> right to firearms.
Cricket, it’s your natural, inborn, God-granted right to defend your life, liberty, and property from those who would take it, no matter what tyranny you live under.
Sorry, hit post comment before I saw Wideguy’s comment basically saying the same thing.
Indeed.. the British style parliament is terrifying. It has absolutely zero limits.
Define mentally unstable.
White? Straight? Christian? Traditional? All the above?
Right Leaning, Conservative, Non Progressive. Christian, well that just depends on the church attend.
Not me.
🤔
rights presume responsible behaviors.
Responsible behavior, the ability to choose for oneself between right and wrong, is the last thing our government wants; FJB.gov insists on arbitrating ‘rights’ and wrongs according to the political divisions it orchestrates.
The most irresponsible among us (who don’t work, pay no taxes, and have feral children with long rap sheets) apparently have the ‘rights’ to rip our social fabric with ‘mostly peaceful’ felonious anarchy, the rights to no-cost bail bonds from Soros, and the rights to D.A.s who dismisses all charges.
The most responsible among us, who peacefully try to hold our irresponsible government accountable, have the rights to solitary confinement for 18 months while awaiting a Congressional Kangaroo Court that can’t find Waldo (Ray Epps).
Presume much?
try having rights without responsible behaviors.
Idiot. Your government ONLY acts irresponsibly, without rights.
Every day, Uncle Shlemiel presumes ‘lawful’ conscription of private property without due process (rape rights), in this country and in every other country we have and haven’t corrupted.
Who stole Venezuela’s, Libya’s, and Ukraine’s gold; Russia’s foreign reserves? Who is really paying for Russian sanctions? Responsible American taxpayers who are losing rights every day.
Your idea of ‘responsible behavior’ is bending over willingly for FJB.gov’s Executive Privilege before he hoists it out of his trousers.
BOHICA
“Your idea of ‘responsible behavior’ is bending over willingly for FJB.gov’s Executive Privilege before he hoists it out of his trousers”
rather you are equating responsible behavior with that. it’s not. consult the founding fathers regarding the need for responsible behavior for the american experiment to succeed – they were right.
I equated your insistence that ‘responsible behavior’ is a precondition to ‘rights’ with idiocy. Read much?
Protesting government overreach (Parents protesting federally funded deviant sexual grooming in schools) is responsible behavior that the government has ‘the right’ to declare domestic terrorism, and abridge personal freedom without due process? I hear you clapping.
Do you applaud FJB.gov’s responsible behavior, isolating peaceful DC dissenters in fetid gulags? Its support for civic destruction by Antifa maniacs in one shell-shocked city after another, elevating repeat felons to sainthood for their long history of irresponsible behavior?
Our founding fathers stated no concerns for the ‘responsible behavior’ of its governed, only its governors. The 1st, 2nd and 4th Amendments are protection against the government’s irresponsible behavior, not ours.
All governments eventually fail because of irresponsible behavior, and the Bill of Rights exists to ensure we can trip onerous governance to precipitate its fall.
Anyone who disagrees with the current ideology on display for all the world to laugh at is obviously mentally unstable.
Get your rainbow on!
Just tie up the tip line reporting politicians addresses to them. The pigs have repeatedly hit the wrong address so it is not like they check what home they are invading.
Use the system against them. SWAT the fuckers.
You had better have a burner phone and not be near your workplace or home when you call in.
Yep, Anon (above) made a suggestion for a society that abides by the Rule of Law. Do that in the U.S. and the only SWAT raid that takes place will be on your own home 8 to 24 hours after you make the call.
😂 No mention of the gun sure to be in possession by pelosi’s husband
He’s completely wrong about Hitler. Makes me wonder what else he might be selling.
WW2 mythology is the official history. I don’t know if we can condem people for ignorance of the truth.
After telling them the truth, repeatedly, one can only conclude they are spreading disinformation intentionally.
Condemning themselves, and everyone else based on the landscape. Majority Rule.
once we go full Mad Max in 2023-4 it will be the sub-human sh*t that worships a satanic atheist socialist megalomaniac like Hitler or his clone Klaus Schwab (like Fleabags apparently) that will be biggest threat to survival.
If you get a chance to torch them, don’t shoot just let ’em burn.
Hopefully they’ll put everyone like you in camps, where you and the rest of the communists belong.
Nothing good ever comes from a no knock raid. It should be outlawed throughout the country, but is being codified by TLPTB.
Dead pigs come of it
Not very often. It is usually dead citizens who fight back against the armed intruders coming in at zero dark thirty.
Not very often because they choose their targets carefully. My point is that it would not be so successful if they tried it in rural anywhere.
There are so many ways they could easily kill me in my rural neighborhood it boggles my mind. One of our Sheriffs told me a few years ago that they had a plan to enlist/mobilize the good people in the community when the shit hits the fan, but that’s too late. They should be organizing and training already, and I have heard nothing.
There is a faction of people around here that their idea of “good people” are those that had Trump banners waving.
They aren’t going to try this in some places. Maybe urban/suburban but there will be much weeping and gnashing of teeth if they try it here. LEO are not above the law and there is no justice citizens can rely on.
They think people are going to settle this in court, they are mistaken.
STOP!!…………wait………if this article is true………..just one question…………….WHERE DID ALL YOU BRAVE NEVER TURN MY GUNS LOSE. Americans???
Now I already know……………bet not one of you pussies will answer the question……………..HAHAHAHAH
The article is true.
Red flag laws put a target on the backs of every American.
And no one here will be turning their guns in, because red flag laws
aren’t about turning our guns in. They are about the state
illegally confiscating them, and that will be vigorously resisted here too.
Don’t have another drink, you are already incoherent.
What the fuck is the question, asshole? Incomplete thoughts in broken English doesn’t cut it around here.
It’s not his fault he’s stupid.
I think it mostly is his fault…exclusively. But that’s just me.
Maybe you’re right.
” just one question ”
Most of ’em realize that you are the rule, not the exception. Do ya think they’ll be sticking their necks out for you?
Put incandescent floodlights facing the hallway around your bedroom and/or saferoom door frame and flip them on when they come up the hallway.
The intruders will be completely blinded with or without night vision or thermal.
Ear piercing high decibel sirens and disorienting strobes can be wired to motion sensors to completely disable the intruders and their communications as well.
Have your ear protection at arms length if they go off.
It’ll be like a fun house. Let your imagination run wild.
LED’s even more intense and throw in a strobe for a totally disorienting experience on the recipient’s part. 12v with a solar panel charger and connect them to a motion sensor. All you have to worry about is a flash bang through the bedroom window and a sniper with the thermal scope.
LEDs don’t produce enough heat to throw off thermal.
These tactics are just meant to buy you time to react properly.
Fight or flight.
Don’t necessarily expect to survive.
I’m working on a force field to surround my property. I’ve proved my theory, but can’t seem to scale it up to protect more than about a cubic millimeter. I’ll keep working on it…
they’ll just withdraw, throw tear gas in, and burn the place down.
As if they would ever be Wac(k)o enough to do something like that.
Start calling in tips on area gangsters, dealers and FBI agents.
Let me know if they ever act on just ONE of those.
Buy a steel security door with a gun port for you bedroom. I would suggest that you put the gun port at nut high. You know, blow out the femorals. Not many po po wear nut protectors. If you really are serious. Make sure that the entrance to your bed room is a hallway. Put steal plate under the sheetrock, ricochets are good. I highly recommend po po grade steal OO buck shoot Mossberg is good. If you want to step up your game, buy a margarita CO2 pressurized fountain tank. Fill it with a nice mix of gasoline and tide washing powder. Get a stainless flex hose. I will leave ignition to you. Hand valve or electric depends on your tech abilities. Stick said flex hose through gun port and smell the bacon fry. Automated doors that you can control from your bed room are a plus hydraulic actuators and electromagnetic door locks. Cause Mr. Po po better bring more body bags than the one he intends to put me in. If you want to carry the fight to them po po. Dig a tunnel and come up behind them. Happy hunting brothers. Fertilizer is legal ask McVey. Oh that’s right you can’t, he is dead.
Sounds like a plan, i’ll get right on it. But first, a little help, Anybody?
Got my mechanical engineering degree in only 7 yrs. “Lefty Loosey Righty Tighty” embossed on my diploma. Genuine simulated wood grain frame at no additional charge ( One level above Summa* they said) ONLY 200K student loan debt, but i’m hoping uncle joe will help out with that. Gonna vote for him again even if he can’t pull it off, done so much already.
However, $ little tight. My aunt gave me an old propane grill, still in the box. Husband died unexpectedly week before his birthday 20 yrs. ago, never even got it put together. Only took me 3 days and 2 night to assemble. Don’t know why there was so many extraneous parts, guess not to many ME’s bought that brand. Didn’t even need to look at the pics or READ the instructions in the manual.
Having some difficulty getting the male adapter to thread into the propane tank. Given Your vast technical acumen i was hoping you could help a brother out?
Sincerely, SNHU alumnus
*Summa. Please. didn’t spend all that time and money to become a wrestler
Go for the waist.
Under the body armor
Lower abdomen. Groin, upper thighs.
There will come a time when the left considers it a red flag of you don’t rape kids like them.
I do like to quote George Carlin when it comes to gun control: “You can kill a man with a spoon……… if you cared enough.”
“…You can kill a man with a spoon……… if you cared enough…”
Spoons are for fags.
Use your teeth.
Or a fuckin’ pencil…
That’s an awful lot of words to try and expain that those with power and weapons can do whatever they want to whomever they want whenever they want for whatever reason they want.
How close do you think the country is to a civil war to remove the democrat communists from America?
That will happen right after all the personal scores are settled. By the way, those democrat communists are thinking the same exact thing about their ideological opposites.
Red flag laws sound so logical, but they are an idea whose time has come and gone. Since the people judging your sanity are the ones that are insane, the outcomes are already known. We used to have “red flag” laws in this country, but were handled differently. If you were suspected and proven to be crazy, it was YOU that was ‘confiscated’ to an asylum and removed from society at large.
Evil would be more apt.
“Red flag laws sound so logical, but they are an idea whose time has come and gone”
Last time that idea sounded ‘Logical’..https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/revere-and-dawes-warn-of-british-attack#:~:text=In%20the%20spring%20of%201775%2C%20General%20Thomas%20Gage%2C,British%20troops%20to%20march%20against%20Concord%20and%20Lexington.
By now you should have your guns stored in different locations. Even if you have to bury some. They come a knockin’ and blast down your door, at least they won’t get them all!
Have a few cheap ones in a crappy safe.
Have the rest where they cannot possibly be found.
Bill Of Rights Tossed in a Shredder and Gun Owner denied due process , no warrant signed by a judge after testimony of oath and affirmation , no presumption of innocence .
We are witnessing American justice turned on its head by leftist parasites that truly hate this nation and it’s citizens !
There is a reason I call it the Dept. of Just Us.
I’ve mentioned numerous times Tenaha , Texas between 2006 and 2008, the illegal seizures of personal items by law enforcement during traffic stops. It was quite a racket and John Whitehead addressed this years ago.
I can guarantee with absolute certainty those that were involved in the Tenaha scandals voted Donald Trump.
Anymore my motto is , Trust No One. Keep the powder dry for not only the radical left but the radical right as well. And basically keep a low profile.
Anyone recall the scene in the movie Easy Rider where the riders were in a small cafe ( and never served) in Louisiana and one of the locals drinking coffee made the comment he doubted “they” would make it to the parish line? 🙂 Welcome to my town. Fine people, just Trust No One. It’s mostly older gen peeps but some younger and generally control freak types, my favorite despicable personalities.
The government agencies that enforce red flag laws will tell you that they don’t care one bit what weapons you own as they enter your home. They are far more concerned about the fact that you speak your mind concerning issues of constitution, freedom and government corruption.
Today, the Communists are blowing up oil refineries and food production facilities in America. Tomorrow they begin gun confiscation, but only the guns of law abiding citizens. Not the terrorists imported by Obama, Biden and Bush.
I may not win, but I am damn sure making the enemy lose too.
ZFG, out.
If you don’t want your house to be raided, all you have to do is stay quiet about government corruption and constitutional rights. Do you really think that a government with nuclear weapons and everything else really cares that you might have an AR-15? No, they really don’t. All that AR-15 will do is get you in trouble. What they are really after is people who hold traditional values and speak their mind about constitutional rights. If you do that, or if you married a woman who disagrees with you, then yes, you should be concerned about red flag laws.
A 20 years war with everything we had save nukes ended with
a goatfucker victory. In a war against fellow Americans,
1/2 the military would turn their guns
on the POS woke commanders and their followers.
A civil war or government armed coup would be over in days with a crushing
loss for the traitors.

“we’ll send the cops to your house to take your guns.”
“the same cops that wouldn’t go in at uvalde?”
no, they won’t send any cops at all. rather they’ll just seize your bank account, cancel your credit cards and your phone and net and power and services and licenses and deeds, and then sit back and wait for you to go away.
and if you don’t go away, THEN they’ll send in the uvalde cops. and yes, those cops will go in. because you’ll be the enemy.
More hysteria from Whitehead. The US Supreme Court has declared red flag unconstitutional and will continue to do do. Lots of things to worry about, but kabuki theater from the idiocracy is not one of them.
The northern/southern border would be a bit of a challenge, but a tectonic cookie cutter rinsed with a Tsunami would serve the purpose admirably.
” but kabuki theater from the idiocracy is not one of them.”
Just HOW would you describe current events?
These are not laws, this is treason, anyone taking guns should be hanged
THE QUEERS AND LEZBIANS ARE IN CONTROL OF THE GOVERNMENT AND POLICE GANGS NOW TO PROTECT THEM AS THEY WILL BE COMING FOR YOUR CHILDREN..IS THERE ONE MAN IN AMERICA WHO CAN FIGURE OUT ANYTHING..THEY WANT YOUR CHILDREN,and the stupid bastards would rather be dead then stop…THE ROAD BLOCKS will begin soon,and they’ll LOCK DOWN THE COUNTRY TO GET YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN…what will you do then???STAND UP YOU COWARDS ..ITS IN YOUR FACE WHAT THEIR UP TO…
The GOP sucks ass.
Wait a minute, tuning in to Hannity today, he says he is “conservative” , not a Republican. True story, transcript can be verified. Ok, but then talks how to get the country back on track or whatever , peeps need to vote republicOn Nov. ‘22 and the big one in ‘24. Ok…but I’m not a Republican. 🤔
Not that it matters, because it doesn’t, wonder why the talking head so called “conservatives” don’t take their blabber and run for office, maybe the big office, President. Hannity, Screaming Mark Levin, Dennis Prager, the man that filled in Limbaugh’s spot, why didn’t Rush “run”? Any of them. They know so much bs. What’s up with this?
all unconstitutional.
“Red flag laws sound great until you realize you are labeled crazy for thinking five year olds should not attend drag shows.”
The same metric should be applied to all homosexuals, right? Lock them up before they can molest more kids.
