Sipsey Street Irregulars: Well, somebody is hearing William Diamond's drum.

Well, somebody is hearing William Diamond's drum.

Forwarded to me by Andrea Shea King, a report from an attendee at the DelMar gun show in Kalifornia:

Around 30,000 people showed up for the gun show today with probably 10,000-20,000 who couldn’t get in and went home. Unbelievable crowd of patriots stocking up on guns and ammo. I talked to guys who had been going there for 20+ years and they had never seen anything like it. Lots of media there – 10News for sure. Watch for coverage tonight.

Amazing video shot by Marc Dice outside the gunshow showing the line to get in at around noon that was about ¾ mile long. . .

The ammo venders still had ammo when we left at 3pm today, but the lines to get into their areas were another 1-2 hours after waiting 1-2 hours to get into the gun show venue. If you go Sunday, try to buy your tickets online to avoid the ticket line in the morning and I suggest arriving around 7:30-8. The line to get in is still about an hour. Crazy, but worth it once you get inside.

Some of these, at least, will pass and be inflicted on Californians.; March 10, 2013 at 9:04 AM
SWIFT said...: I'm surprised to hear that there was ammo at the San Diego show. I have been to almost every gun show covering all of western Pennsylvania and there is no ammo. Also missing are re-loading components. I can understand domestic production limiting ammo to the civilian population because of all the wars and the neo-nazis at DHS. But, where is the ammo that use to come from Russia, Serbia, Czech Republic, South Africa, South Korea, Israel and numerous other countries? Something stinks here. Has the supply line been stopped due to secret economic threats by our government? Or, is the government buying it all up themselves to stop it from hitting the civilian market? Nothing these corrupt bastards do would surprise me.; March 10, 2013 at 9:33 AM
Anonymous said...: And why some dealer hasn't figured out how to load an F-150 full of ammo sell in the parking lot so guys don't have to wrestle with their purchases all day long, I'll never know. A placard on the roof with prices and customer will throw money at you all day long.; March 10, 2013 at 9:34 AM

"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.
