Okay, so now we're not cutting edge anarchists, we're evil-intentioned knuckledraggers straight out of the Middle Ages. "There’s a darker side to the DIY movement, where self-reliance meets libertarian zeal."

"I got the plans off the Internet and cranked it out on my 3-D printer. Boy is the Baron going to be surprised when he comes into the village to enforce his right of first night on my daughter."

The Medieval Roots of Our DIY Gun Culture

This article was forwarded to me with the comment: "A new approach to vilifying home gun making. Instead of pretending that it is new and unprecedented, admit that it is hundreds of years old and then argue that shows it is primitive behavior that should no longer tolerated."

I will not be shamed into submission. I will not disarm. I will not go away. I will not be ignored. I will resist. I will evade. I will smuggle. And I will teach others to do the same.; May 9, 2015 at 6:12 AM

The comment about RPGs made in Bubba's garage is probably prophetic. After all, the Panzerfaust was designed with ease of low-tech fabrication in mind.

The winner of homemade bucket launchers?
A twelve ga shell spent crammed with red dot slid inside a a ten ga shell spent, electrical taped all around, drill a 1/8 hole for 18 inches of cannon fuse. Commence taping with electrical tape again, tight as it would go. Switch to duct tape. Tight tight tight. Back to electrical tape. When it was about the size of a soda can it was good to go.

Man boy howdy did we launch plastic buckets. What a blast! We had so much fun. No books directing our actions, no desire to harm anyone or anything. We just like playing with what called our own homemade firecrackers. Sheesh, doing that today, all these decades later, we'd be sent to jail!

Knucklebdragging? Sheesh we were just KIDS!! Dry ice. Pvc. Potatoes. All of it. It was just FUN!

That's what those boneheads won't tolerate. FUN!!; May 9, 2015 at 11:41 AM

IMHO it would be great propellant and shell filler for smooth bore recoilless cannons for direct fire capability. RPG-2's are well within garage munitions capability, RPG-7's not so much, that is a much tougher horse to saddle.; May 9, 2015 at 9:48 PM

Damned right. Riding in back of pick-ups with no belts, rumble seats, blowing the hell out of old shacks.... but of course, we were too stupid to now the dangers. Fucking lib-tards.; May 10, 2015 at 1:13 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.
