Thank God for that 2nd Amendment!

Can I get an Amen?

Sure. I wanted to “test” an AK I’ve not fired in a while so I ran 100 rounds of 7.62×39 through it.

I like that idea…I am in desperate need to take the AK, SKS and Mini-30 out for some 7.62 treatment

Amen! Here in MI they are fixing to pass all sorts of gun control and social control statutes. Soon we will be taxing TP and that which it removes in this state.

That is messed up. I don’t know how many more folks Texas can absorb but don’t be surprised in the near future red flag ideas become more prevalent. Even so called “conservatives” in the sticks are complaining more and more about recreational discharge of firearms and the same batch of so called “conservatives” that toot their horns, “don’t let them takes you guns”.

Being unwilling to use it to fix the evil in America renders it useless. Without the courage to put one’s life on the line for freedom, freedom is being lost.

mmmm actually that 2nd has not prevented any one of these points from being imposed. A tool not used is no tool indeed. Its illusionary, a false sense of security.

Many of those “thank God for the 2nd amendment” people were the first ones to slap on that compliance muzzle, and hide in their houses until the government said it was ok to come out again. Some of the most phony bastards you’ll ever meet.

So which of all these you shall nots do you not comply with? I’m sure there are a few. Hiding so the enemy can’t find you last I checked was actually a smart thing to do in war, leastwise till you need to project force. I guess instead of buying a compliant weapon it would be better off having no weapon at all?

Hiding to create a strategic advantage is one thing, running away to hide is a different thing.

So somehow living to fight another day isn’t a strategic advantage? It seems framing is the only difference between the later and former of your statement. Though I will admit it did seem awful lonely being a nail.

Our Constitution was doing a pretty good job until the busybodies decided to use the 14th Amendment against US … it was never meant for that. Basically, the uses of the 14th during the past few decades have meant the death of the 9th and 10th Amendments … which were meant to keep the Federal Government in its proper place — and to preserve the rights of the States.

Bullshit. It did not even last the first congress without the congress violating it, and it didn’t even last 100 years before it utterly failed the first time.

Centralized government isn’t a necessary evil, it is just evil.

The CONstitution was a coup d’etat over the original Articles of Confederation. It was done by the delegates to Philadelphia in secret, in defiance of the people whom they were sworn to represent.

One comment about hunt/hunting. It ain’t “hunting” anymore. It’s pay to sit in a stand over corn feeders and shoot rather than hunt. IMO pay to “hunt” has ruined an American legacy. People in Texas have gone plumb stupid with the commercialization of “hunting” IMHO.

All the outdoor magazines of the 60’s-80’s and probably beyond had stories about men being gouged by angry bucks.

Politicians do what they do because they have been allowed too. Most of this list was brought to you by special interest groups. Pay to Play, another form of “taxation without representation”.

There’s a bunch of things on that list that I don’t ask the government permission to do.

You didn’t need a license or permission to work or have somebody work for you, or travel on the roads or license the thing you traveled on or in. Course you can still do most these things, but people don’t, even the ones talking about how the 2nd amendment people compiled and hid in their houses.

“125 yrs. ago…”

Just biden’‘ brandoning’ their time. waiting on the available tech.

It’s here.

ALL because…

King George III is most well known for being the King of England during the American Revolutionary War. Throughout his life he suffered from temporary lapses in judgment and episodes of insanity. He had a very loving and devoted wife who would stand by his side through it all. However, the constant warring began to grate on him, and finally, after losing the American Colonies and the respect of not only the foreign nations but also his own, even his wonderful wife was not enough to keep him from going insane before his death.”

...and his buddy’s stole, or asked for more than the “Usual & Customary” 10%.

Just WHERE have Ya heard the 10% mentioned before?

Quick, 1 page read.

King George III

It wasn’t that much longer ago that people did have to ask permission for many of those.
People were farmed before, then they were needed to ‘tame’ a new world, then they were farmed again.
