Some trick. Another collectivist columnist advocates confiscation.

That pesky Law of Unintended Consequences: America's gun culture -- Connecticut shooting didn't stop it, just made it worse.

A total ban on assault-style weapons, semi-automatic handguns and high volume detachable magazines, along with confiscation of all those now in private hands would do the trick.

I've been a really good man this year. I've worked long and hard all year long in order to pay my taxes thus transferring much of my present wealth and most of my future prosperity to the useless and un-productive as required by obama. I've made sure to share my toys, my food and my time with my friends and family. I've tried hard to honor my oath to God, my wife and children and also the constitution of my nation. Now that the Moloch's have completely taken over both my State and Country, I believe we are in need of a little support. If you could see your way clear a few items would be useful to us in the near future, as follows:

A couple of Keltec Bullpups or a couple of

DS Arms Special Purpose Rifles.

As always a goodly amount of magazines and repair parts for the above and a sufficient quantity of Surplus German 7.62x51 NATO (either DAG or MEN) or Federal XM80C and also XM118 Long Range to sustain us through the impending darkness would be much appreciated.

Thanks Santa,

Bubba

P.S.

Bubbette has been exceedingly good this year and would really appreciate her own Smith & Wesson 6" 657 .41 magnum revolver, it will be quite useful for the Goblins, and a couple of thousand rounds each of Winchester 175gr Silvertip and Remington 210gr Soft Point ammo.; December 22, 2012 at 12:43 PM

Charles N. Steele said...: Hmm. Rutten notes that (perhaps correctly) "current Constitutional jursiprudence" wouldn't permit confiscation. Presumably this means that the goal is anew jurisprudence, or a new constitution.

Bubba: if Santa has any extra stuff, please send him to my house as well.; December 22, 2012 at 6:44 PM

The big guy's little factories are working overtime to help out all the good men (and women). Those that have are willing to share with those that need. Merry Christimas.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
