A civil war is where two groups are contesting control of a nation. The "War between the States" was not a civil war. The member states of the CSA had no desire to control/rule/run anything outside their own borders. What that was WAS was a war of conquest - illegal and entirely unconstitutional - on the part of the remaining member states of the USA to return their "errant sister" states to the fold by force of arms. <br /><br />Should the anti-gun forces succeed in pushing a 2nd and more onerous AWB through, what will result will NOT be a "civil war" but a rebellion. It will be the 2nd (or 3rd if you count the "Whiskey Rebellion" as an attempted revolution) American Rebellion. <br /><br />If the rebellion eventuates, the only chance those of us willing to fight for our homes and families will have is for the Armed Forces of the United States to mutiny. That is why we cannot fire the first shot. There can be no Fort Sumpters or Archduke Ferdinands. If those of us seeking freedom are perceived as the agressors then the majority of the armed forces members will press the attack against what they will perceive as enemies of the constitution. In that case the people rebelling will have no chance whatsoever. I am preparing an essay on the subject of war but for now I will remind the readers that the revolution was won by virtue of the Colonists employing unconventional tactics. Unless someone can come up with something as effective and unconventional as what folks like Francis Marion used, our own troops will sweep us from the field.Bill Mullinsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-67696677366265346172009-04-22T22:35:00.000-05:002009-04-22T22:35:00.000-05:00In spite of the Supreme Court decision affirming t...In spite of the Supreme Court decision affirming the right to bear arms for citizens of DC the socialists in charge are continuing the march to disarm us through other means (international treaties like LOST). The Obama administration can effectively diminish ammunition reloading rights as well as implementing ammunition sales reporting requirements. We must be ever vigilent in our opposition to these backdoor methods. I find the sipsey street irrgulars site refreshing and comforting that there are others out there that share these fears. I am equally comforted that the organization "oath takers" has a healthy following and I, as a former Navy Seabee will retake my oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.

Dionne, who is otherwise literate and well-read suddenly revert to the intelligence of an average jellyfish and the ignorance of a wastebasket. <br /><br />Dionne and others like him know full well what they are writing and why. Like their political allies they have no trouble understanding the meaning of the Second Amendment. They don't care.<br /><br />These people hate freedom and the lifestyle that freedom represents. Freedom isn't easy, particularly freedom of speech and freedom of the press. My real hope is that E.J. Dionne never has to find out just how hard it is to regain freedom of the press once it has been censored.Mad Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06190137186843630543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-46530089803575248092009-04-22T05:59:00.000-05:002009-04-22T05:59:00.000-05:00First off, he gets away with spouting falsehoods b...First off, he gets away with spouting falsehoods by having this printed as an editorial.<br /><br />Second, I see he continues the canard of 'OMG, American guns pouring into Mexico'. *sigh* You know what that reminds me of?

The NRA is probably the best funded of the gun friendly civil rights groups but cannot come close to the money that George Soros or the Trial Lawyers Association can the throw at a campaign. All the NRA, GOA, JPFO etc can do is alert people to what new infringements the real lobbyists are cooking up. After that it is up to the membership to act.<br /><br />It is people that send the letters, emails and telegrams. It is people that make the phone calls. It is people who vote. When a politician gets messages from several thousand irate constituents who will vote against him if he supports any gun control bill then, unless he has a powerful machine (California, Illinois and Louisana come to mind) behind him, he backs off. What Mr. Silly Putz is really upset about is that sometimes the systems works.<br /><br />Putz's best hope for his gun free future is to join ACORN and help to expand voter fraud to include those who are vulnerable to honest elections. Then maybe he will have a Congress corrupt enough to push for his Utopian fantasy. However, as long as the three percenters exist that probably won't work either.parabarbarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04987535851654809713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-11568742123697727122009-04-21T15:53:00.000-05:002009-04-21T15:53:00.000-05:00i consider myself to be a 3 percenter. i was born...i consider myself to be a 3 percenter. i was born in this country free and have experienced the taste of those freedoms. i will die with those freedoms and they can pry my guns from my cold dead fingersmikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573836790620179857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575061201749703300.post-62398785285025214762009-04-21T09:27:00.000-05:002009-04-21T09:27:00.000-05:00Yo, Anon, I ain't "stuck", with anything.

As we all..."The rules don't apply at gun shows..."<br /><br />As we all know, this simply is not true. The author has written a falsehood. In a newspaper! Where there are layers of editorial control, unlike a blog.<br /><br />So.
