Journalism professor advocates firing squad for millions of Americans

Swindell's problem (and that of the rest of the collectivists) is that even if their side can slaughter all four or five million NRA members, it won't be enough. You feeling froggy, Professor? Then why don't you get this party started?

Home, finally.

Drove 700 miles today myself from Houston to home. Am exhausted. More tomorrow, but right now I'm going to crap out.

Now it's our turn for a 'good first step' regarding gun laws

This time, though, it's we who are not going to be content with half a loaf. It is we who will come back year, after year, after year, exerting relentless pressure on every public official who is unwilling to acknowledge that we're not here for just a piece of our rights. Let's adjust the "slippery slope" until we slide into liberty, instead of away from it.

Will be skipping Gonzales today.

The museum there is closed on Mondays, so I'll be driving straight through to home if I prove up to it. I also missed seeing Mount Carmel, and one day want to return to see San Jacinto, Gonzales and Goliad, where many Alabama boys were slaughtered after that moron Fannin surrendered them. Almost every prominent family in the Tennessee River valley of north Alabama went into mourning after Goliad and the date was marked by memorial observances up until the War Between the States eclipsed it. Keep me in your prayers for the journey home.

Now here's some gratifying news -- ATF Publishes Updated Firearms and Commerce Report

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) today released the Firearms Commerce in the United States 2013 report, which contains information about domestic firearms manufacturing, as well as the importation and exportation of firearms. The report contains the most up-to-date information available about the firearms industry and ATF’s regulatory activities including firearms entering commerce and statistical data. . .

The 2013 update reports more than 6.5 million firearms were manufactured in 2011(the latest year available) and more than 4.8 million firearms were imported into the United States in 2012. In addition, more than 1 million National Firearms Act (NFA) transfers were processed by ATF in 2012, and there are currently more than 3.5 million NFA firearms registered. The number of federal firearms licensees (FFLs) increased from 123,587 in 2011 to 130,956 in 2012. This reflects a 6 percent increase in one year.

Link to report. Be sure and look at the long-term trend charts.

YouTube link to Temple speech?

Here is a YouTube link to my Temple speech, but the hotel computer I am using a. has no sound and b. keeps giving me an error message. Will some reader confirm that this link works and has a better audio than the Bob & Bob Show link posted previously? Thanks. FWIW, here's an embed. . . if it works. . . which I can't be certain of at the moment.

I'm in San Antonio now and toured the Alamo today.

Powerful place. Will head home tomorrow after stopping off at "Come and Take It" Gonzales. Feeling a little rocky right now, so I'll probably not do any posting until morning.

Got a little sleep last night, praise the Lord. Off to the Alamo today.

I was proud of myself for doing the whole line of march yesterday, but I gotta tell you I was plumb tuckered out by evening. Spent some time talking a little treason to collectivism with Bob Wright and boys last night. (Yes, the Jameson's came out. No, I didn't partake.) The support of local Threepers was very gratifying and today I'm headed to San Antonio to see the Alamo, then I'll head home. God bless you all for your support and prayers. Hopefully I'll have more posts later.

Successful day.

Had a great time. I think the speech went well. Will try to have more tomorrow.

In Temple, safe and sound.

Sorry, couldn't get on the site last night. Will someone inform the One Hundred Heads Life & Casualty Company claims representatives? Oh, I guess I just did. Hope to see some of y'all later today.

"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.
