To Paul Helmke: "Answer the Fookin' Question."


To Paul Helmke: "Answer the Fookin' Question."

Stephen (laughing) Him? That can't be William Wallace. I'm prettier than this man! [to the sky]
Stephen: Alright, Father, I'll ask him. [to William]
Stephen: If I risk my neck for you, will I get a chance to kill Englishmen?
Hamish: Is your father a ghost, or do you converse with the Almighty?
Stephen: In order to find his equal, an Irishman is forced to talk to God. [to the sky]
Stephen: Yes, Father! [to Hamish]
Stephen: The Almighty says, "Don't change the subject, just answer the fookin' question."
-- Braveheart, 1995.



Let us, for the purposes of argument, stipulate these facts:

1. The advocates of further gun control, such as Paul Helmke of the Brady Bunch, believe they are telling the truth when they claim that they are well-intentioned and only wish more "common sense reasonable regulation" of firearms in the interest of "safer streets" and "public safety."

2. Let us further agree that the GOP has been swept from the field. Nothing stands in the way of Paul Helmke's (and Nancy Pelosi's) agenda. The gun controllers can now get what they wish. Indeed, they believe they hold a "mandate" to do it.

3. And let us admit that, according to information posted on it's own website, the incoming administration has declared its intention to seize control over the private, intrastate sale of arms (wrongly labeled the "gun show loophole") and to reinstitute a "beefed up" equally misnamed "Assault Weapons Ban," thereby declaring outlaw entire classes of heretofore legal semi-automatic rifles, pistol, shotguns and likely, anything in fifty caliber or above.

4. Let us also assume that even the Helmke's of the country must know that there are American gunowners, the Three Percent, who will resist these laws.

5. Thus, the Three Percenters' resistance will provoke government violence to compel their obeisance. The administration will kick in the doors of American gun owners to achieve this allegedly "reasonable" objective.

6. Shots will be fired, and the next American civil war will be off and running. The streets will never be safe again until many bodies have been piled up and one side or the other, one vision of America or the other, has won.

Now, before all this takes place, I think it is reasonable for those like Paul Helmke and others of his ilk to answer this question. I think they owe us an answer before they attempt to kill us with their "good intentions."

Ready? This is the question:

Mr. Helmke, if what this is really all about is "safe streets" and "public safety" how does sparking a bloody civil war further those objectives?

The answer is, it doesn't.

It can't.

And if that's not what this is about, then shouldn't Helmke and his myrmidons at least have the honesty to admit that what they really seek is the empowerment of the imperial federal government at the expense of our individual, God-given, traditional republican liberties, no matter how many innocents they kill in the process?

To quote the Irishman, Mr. Helmke, "Don't change the subject, just answer the fookin' question."

IMO, Helmke thinks we are British or Australian and we'll simply turn them in. He mind doesn't grasp the concepts "worth dying for" or "worth killing for".

This would be a whole different ball game than the so called "drug war" or "war on terror" and they couldn't rely on military cooperation because I'm sure they realize that they can't be sure which direction a US soldier would point his rifle, tank, or air asset if given orders to participate in such a travesty against the Constitution. He very well might point it at the CINC and his cabinet rather than his own family members.

My question to people like Paul Helmke usually is something to the effect of: "Why is it in the regions that attempt to enforce your controls (e.g. Chicago, D.C., Los Angeles)that the murder and violent crime rates continue to rise at such levels? I mean come on, you passed a law against it.

Mr. Vanderboegh, you are a true patriot and fighter. I just read your chapter "Absolved" and I believe that it is the best fucking piece of work I have read after Qi Ji Dao Fah, the legendary martial arts manual written by Ming Dynasty hero Qi Ji Guang for use in fighting Jap invader scum.

When our nation is in times of trial, we need great figures like you, Ron Paul and Ted Nugent to restore freedom and civil rights.

Never ever believe that a hope is lost. In 1542 Qi Ji Guang's Imperial Ming Army of less than 5000 swordsmen devastated an entire Japanese landing force of 35,000. Not one Japanese soldier survived and the shores of Hangzhou-Zhaoxing was stained for miles by the blood of the slaughtered samurai warriors.

In 1931, the 29th Guomingdang Army Unit of 2000 troops led by 19 year old Zheng Yu faced off against 12,000 elite soldiers of the Japanese Manchukuo Army in Shenyang. Not one Japanese survived the day and the harsh Manchu winter was pierced by the cries of dying enemies.

If the Jews in 1933 Germany had rifles and the will to use them, Nazi fucking cocksucker trash would be lying all over Berlin dead instead of smiling and laughing as they herd millions into the camps.

Never trust the gun-banners. NEVER. All they want to do is SILENCE their opponents, and the best way to silence them is by taking their arms.

FREEDOM FIRST AND ALWAYS! RON PAUL 2012! TED NUGENT FOR VP!
