Revolution Part Deux

Posted on by

I recently learned something about American history that I didn’t know. The Battle at Lexington and Concord was because of imposed British disarmament of the local militia. Seems The American War of Independence began on April 19, 1775, when 700 Redcoats under the command of Major John Pitcairn left Boston to seize American arms at Lexington and Concord. (Source).

Senator Feinstein has been very adamant that she “doesn’t want to take our guns” but look at what her home state is proposing. Complete seizure of all registered assault weapons, which they are aware of due to registration. This proves that they do in fact, want our guns. Even though I don’t live in California, this scares me. We have to be ever vigilant. If California wins this, other states will become emboldened and attempt such draconian measures. A 500 round limit…I shoot that on a good range day. Or I did, before 5.56 became unobtanium.

Please contact your Congressmen. Lets fight this, and keep the Republic alive. None of us want to fight for our God-given rights, but if this country doesn’t change course, it may become necessary. If we lose this battle on the Hill, we may have to carry it to the streets.

Real Power

“…There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws…”

Dr. Ferris – Atlas Shrugged

Wow! That might be one of the most honest and prophetic pieces of fiction that I have ever read. This applies to every facet of our lives as free men and women. Government rule via fear. Why do we pay absurd amounts of taxes when our Founding Fathers had a party in the Boston Harbor over a 3% tax on tea. I pay at least 6% on a glass of tea in a restaurant and do it without blinking. Why is that? Why do we accept the recent 2% increase in our payroll withholding? Fear of being labeled a criminal and the punishments that come with it. Why will some willingly hand over a firearm worth several hundred dollars for a gas card and a flu shot?

They pass rules and regulations about anything any everything. EPA, FDA, DHS, BAFTE, and the list goes on. An alphabet soup of “Agencies” who are ran by non-elected officials that pass regulations that dictate our very existence. And the impending gun regulation that will restrict use of a right guaranteed by the very document that is meant to govern our land. All done without batting an eye. I am almost positive this isn’t what Jefferson, Washington, Monroe, and Adams had in mind when they framed the Constitution. This isn’t what freedom feels like. When are we going to get our collective heads out of the sand and draw a line in it instead.
