What is your breaking point for a Revolution?

I like those arguments, but I can’t get behind the “secession = war” belief. It doesn’t necessarily, and in my opinion it shouldn’t. The Articles of Confederation allowed for secession and the Constitution is ambiguous at best on it. I think people have a right to self rule; if the people of CA want to take their ball and leave the fine. The idea of the union being run like the mafia ( in for life) has never set well with me.

This link was referenced by poster HRDWRK in another section. It discusses the "mathematics" of countering tyranny.

Without going into the whole thing, the section on "resistance strategy and tactics" is well worth a reading. Additionally a lot of good takeaway in other sections. The concept of leaderless resistance is worth looking into, for example.

I get that there’s a mechanism for it, but practically, yes, there would be war. I can’t see the federal government just allowing it.

A House Divided ... study what happened in eastern Europe with Balkinization.

Or read the EFAD series where Matt Bracken describes a scenario where the Federal government basically allows the country to be divy'ed up; red / blue and no-man's land. They are still available on Amazon, but the combo price for all three has went up to $55.49. I wonder why ?

I don't think he sets the price. Market demand and scarcity, with no reprints in the works drives the price up. He does get residuals I'm sure, but his emphasis lately is on his newer books with geopolitical implications.

Amazon sets the price as the seller. retail on his books are 19.95. he often runs sales. follow him on FB or Twitter

my breaking point is confiscation. I think a lot people can agree with that one. once you start confiscation that's it for me, I would declare war on the government. do I think its coming to that point? no. but if we keep having mass shootings we the government might start thinking about confiscation. but in all reality no police chief would enforce confiscation because their whole department would get slaughtered. you can line up all the police departments in the entire country against 100 million gun owners and they would lose everytime.

Confiscation may be too late? And aren't we on that brink? I think so. I've been sick and tired for a long time. And now I am sick and tired and have a critical illness. So I'm in NOW. Here's what i see. In 10 years there will be no America as we know it. Our US Constitution will be obliviated at the hands of the up and coming leaders who have been indoctrinated and brain washed via public education to believe guns are simply wrong and bad. There is no history of our Forefathers taught. They are tearing down statutes and now going after Rudolph saying it is offensive to people with disabilities. They are banning songs like "Baby it's Cold Outside" because it appears to the up and coming leaders to be victimizing women. All the signs are clear to me. Patriots need to wake up and rise up. This is not going away via elections. America is doomed.

I agree that things seem to be going downhill at an increasing rate, and that civil unrest like we've seen after natural disasters or events concerning minority individuals (who were the recipients of Darwin awards) will likely become more widespread. All of this insurrection is being actively supported by the liberals, as well as the MSM that seems to honor violence, and castigate law abiding citizens.

It's apparent that elected and appointed officials in some states are working to disarm law abiding citizens, and we each have to choose how we will respond to those threats when they directly affect us as well as doing what we can to prepare for them ahead of time.

When the economy eventually tanks, as it most assuredly will when socialists outnumber constitutionalists in Congress and state legislatures, or when we face natural disasters like hurricanes or an extreme event like an EMP, unprepared folks will feel empowered to 'get theirs' by taking it from those who have worked for it, even more so than they do now. Being prepared for that possibility is only prudent.

I respectfully suggest that we might want to be judicious about what we post publicly versus what we might think or discuss privately about how we plan to prepare and react.

That is and will continue to be THE problem for like minded Americans. Hiding behind a keyboard will do the same in that scenario as it is now, alone. In the event of real civil strife numbers in a group is what keeps you alive.

In 10 years texas will be blue if the Republican party doesn't get smart.

The massive Latino population votes heavily for democrats and the large cities are full of liberals.

If Texas turns blue we will never see another Republican president.

TX- 38

10 Years? It's looking mighty purple to me. How else would you have a close Senate race and a blowout in the race for governor? Dallas County, has already shifted from red to purple to a reasonably convincing shade of Democratic blue.

Truly a screwed up time we’re living in. 2 years ago after Gov Slogan confiscated our Sons of Confederate Veterans organizational tags after I made him aware the Muslim Brotherhood still has theirs ( Muslim American Society) and MVA is still issuing them. Published an op-ed in the Carroll County Times as well. Kathy Szeliga cosponsered HB001 to add further add insult to make it a law. Never made it to the senate.
Interesting fact that all but 6 or so delegates voted for this crap. Do you think they cherry pick 1st amendment much?

Shitlego is a horny leg humper. She hasn't an independent thought in her ass for a brain.

If you're going to sling shit at other Maryland politicians, shouldn't you at least be transparent about who you are and, further, use one of your already established accounts here?

I can continue to expound if you like.

This should be good...

As a private citizen shouldn't I have a right to have a say? I am no longer a public figure. If not, then I'll remove myself from Shooters. Because I have a lot to say about the Legislation the RINOS in the MD GA have voted for as I was always loyal to the 2A community and our Constitution, as well as my Oath.
