Everytime they want more GC, I'm Buying another Gun!

[flop-shank]

Yesterday I listened to that slimeball New Jersey senator Bob Menendez barking for more gun control (it's pretty obvious that the commie doesn't know the first thing about them). Well here's one for you, Bob. I went out and bought a Mosin 91/30 today. I Didn't need it. I already have several, but I made a decision. Whenever the losers in Washington and the press start clamoring for a new abridgement of our 2A rights (read exploiting a tragedy in order to create a totalitarian America), I'm buying a new gun. Since those Bozos have wrecked the economy anyway, a gun is a better place to park cash than in the bank.

I'm inviting all freedom loving American's to join me. If you're tight on cash, buy a box of ammo, or something. Evertime they raise a ruckus we need to show them that the fruit of their labor is lost elections and a better armed America via through the roof gun sales.

Please spread the word to other forums and buy something. FWIW I have no affiliation with the manufacture, or sale of firearms and ammunition. I just sick and tired of those unamerican marxist jackasses trying to ruin the greatest county on Earth.

I would never want to subvert anyone's desire to buy weapons. I would submit, however, that one can use at least SOME of that money to support the RIGHT candidates for Congress across the nation. As we speak, Michelle Bachman is in need of funds for her re-election. You may or may not have liked her as a candidate for president, but she has certainly been a serious conservative representative in Congress. And the dude opposing her is a total loss.

At least on the local level, I'm seeing more conservatives speaking out against the Democrats, Liberals, & Progressives.

The stay against MD conceal carry permits was lifted & many people are applying for firearms & will apply for permits in 12 days.  We'll see what happens even the commie AG applies for an emergency stay with his appeal to the CA4, but people are expressing their outrage about the limitation of rights & other nonsense.

I want to add my voice to Dev's here. And add that I strongly encourage membership in the SAF, the NRA, and any state or local 2A organizations. I love it when people buy guns, I am looking at several options for my next one as well (Really torn between a Glock 17 and saving a little more and getting a 1911). But the one most important thing between now and November is to make sure we still have our rights after the election, that requires time and money from all of us.

I have little faith left in the political process. America is too corrupt with too many people on the dole. I used to be active in the local Republican party, but the nomination of ultra liberal John McCain told be everything I need to know. Romney being the best the Republicans can do against a weakling like Obama confirms it. The Republican party is the worst enemy of our nation, not the Democrats. Republican wishywashyness is the true block to progress. Acting like the party of Reagan would resonate with average Americans. However, true conservatives get nowhere in presidential races. In addition, why have a "conservative" party when it includes turds like McCain and Bloomberg? I'll hold my nose and vote against Obama, but that's as far as I'll go. I'm of the belief that the heirarcy of the Republican party is every bit as corrupt as the Democrats. I do, however, think that Michelle Bachmann is truly the real deal, but one of the few and too little too late. I'd love to be proven wrong. Those of you still hanging on to hope and putting your energy into the political struggle, God bless. You truly are part of what makes America great. I just don't believe anymore. I'd rather spend my time learning how to grow a tomato. At the rate things are going, I'd better, or get real skinny.

On the plus side I've said that the election in November will likely be a landslide. Obama's anti-gun stance in these last months before the election will seal his political fate. Unfortunately I'm less than enthusiastic about that which will follow.

Keep your powder dry.

I dislike ALL politicians.  There are a few that are ok.  Andy Harris, R-Rep MD, introduced a bill for term limits that got zero support.

It's not public service anymore when the employees give themselves high salaries & benefits galore.

I'm with you flopshank, I've purchased extra magazines for rifle and pistol and ammo.

Flop & Kim -

You guys have to hang in there. I would completely agree that most politicians are dirt, but then, ?just how do you define a politician. Generally it is someone who is pliable, who can bend, who can think of ways to make multiple sides come out ahead. That is not a skill that a born leader has - leaders are mostly "my way or the highway". We only like them because THEIR way is also ours. But there are certainly leaders on the wrong side of this coin, and we don't care for them at all.

The Tea Party has ignited a real flame spreading across the country. It isn't a wildfire, burning down everything in its path. More like a controlled fire, taking out the deadwood while trying to leave the solid wood in place. Read about Lincoln's time in the presidency. He was a consummate politician, yet he managed to keep his principles intact. The Tea Party seems to be trying to do a similar job. Initially it was a lot of people who were really ticked off. They protested, they got together in large crowds and petitioned their government for change - and got pretty much nothing. So instead they have been going after individual politicians, picking off those who seem to be vulnerable. Sometimes they win, sometimes not. They didn't manage to unseat Sen. Hatch, but it seems they scared him enough that he has stated that this is his last run. Perhaps McCain will see the light, too. AZ is not as lefty as he seems to be. Yes, there are dems there, but the state overall is far less liberal than the average dem.

I would certainly not counsel anyone NOT to be prepared for the worst case. But it makes great sense to work actively for something better. Civil war is no fun - for any side. Our own example back in the mid 19th century ought to be a cautionary tale for all. Yes, I presume all here would be willing to fight, and it just might end up that way. But we owe it to ourselves - AND our children, who would bear the brunt of any civil war - to do ALL we can to fix this in a less-than-war way. Remember the closing of the Declaration of Independence - "we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honour". Let's neither sink into chains of government creation nor have to stand shoulder to shoulder racking magazines into our weapons without knowing we tried our very best to change things for the better. It IS up to us - there's no one else.

[Devereaux]

And have a good supply of ammo. Things don't always end like in the movies.

I think that entire post needs to be reposted anytime anyone does the general broadbrush dismissal of "All politicians are scumbags" argument or identical variant thereof.

Bravo, Dev, you said exactly what I would've said but you said so far more diplomatically.

[Kimerazor]

Dev, I agree with you that we have to hang in there & push for change.  I don't want a civil war nor civil unrest.  The best display of my attitude was the peaceful Tea Party march on DC.  It has to continue.

For those leaning more conservative, they need encouragement (through are calls, visits, & emails) to do the conservative thing.  For others, we need to replace them with Tea Party folks.  We cannot allow the current establishment to keep kicking the can down the road.

I appreciate and generally agree with your sentiments, Devereaux. The best reason to arm ourselves to the teeth is to prevent civil war by keeping the politicians in awe of the people. I've studied the Yugoslavian ethnic meltdown of the '90s and "Hell on Earth" is really the only way to begin to describe it.

I got politically active in the '90s during the Clinton years. Being a Nat'l Guardsman at the time, there were those who tried to get me into the infamous Michigan Militia. I never even considered it. I thought it better to get involved politically than pick up a rifle first. The pen isn't mightier than the sword, but you are right that it's a much nicer alternative.

I have considered joining the Tea Party. Maybe it's time to take a look and send something to the NRA-ILA as well.
