Smuggling Update.

Folks,

I received in yesterday's mail at the PO box a big box of first class, freedom fighter grade AR 30 rounders from Shawn in Arizona along with the following note:

Hi Mike,

I finally got my mags together for you. Sorry for the delay, but I've been shopping for quite a while for a good price. Most of the mags I sent are pretty new with little use, and all the black ones are brand new, and untested, but should be good as they are new. The colored mags are all in good used condition and 100% flawless in operation. I'm also sending a few of the new E-Mags along. I don't know how much need there is out there for them, but figured you might run across the need.

On a different note, I respect very much what you are doing here, and wish to convey my undying gratitude. I will keep shopping the sales as the time passes and may have the occasion to send more presents. . . while using U.S. Government mail service to facilitate the resistance of said government. . . OH, THE IRONY!! Again, thank you for all are doing and let me know (Email address redacted) if you need other mags too. I have G3 mags, M1A mags, LR 308 mags, and 6.5 Grendel AR mags. I would be glad to send a few on to you.

You are and will be in our prayers.

Shawn

[MV Note: Here is a description of the E-Mag. ("E" being for export.) Some folks find that their front taper makes them wobble over-much in USGI spec rifles. Others have no problem.]

I replied this morning:

Subject: Magazine bonanza

Shawn,

Received your generous donation of 26 top-of-the-line freedom fighter grade AR magazines in the mail yesterday but didn't feel up to responding until this morning. I was floored. Just an outstanding effort! You are hereby awarded the order of Smuggler Logistician, First Class. I will so recognize you on the blog this morning. They will form the backbone of an attempt to smuggle a couple hundred magazines into Connecticut later in the spring. As for other mags, we can always use more freedom-fighter grade (have a sufficiency of politician grade at the moment) but I'd say you've done enough for now. M1A mags & 6.5 Grendel AR mags I know are particularly expensive and at the moment I have no requests for them. So take a breather and accept my humble thanks for a job well done.

Shawn McEwen said...: Thanks for the kind words folks. I had help here as some friends and I all pitched in, so the credit belongs to them as well.

Mike, without your efforts I wouldn't know where to apply mine, and would remain largely impotent in a world going mad. Glad I can help, and thanks for providing the opportunity to do so!!

"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.
