"Compromise is the sleazy comrade of those who push us. It is the siren song that seduces 'reasonable' people. Commies/liberals try to take a mile and settle for a whittled down inch or as much of the original usurpation they can get. Then later they try for more. They never stop. They may pause and lull many into a false security, then like a snake by the tail twist and strike. We who value Freedom forget too often to go for the head."
"Remember the 'enemy that never sleeps'. What stops them is sleeping less and matching them, stopping their schemes. No compromise. Just blow for blow. Then, with the enemy on the ropes, we expose them, waking people up to the schemes and the ultimate goal of total control." ...

"No, it's not a typo, it's our ongoing response. The full meaning of citizen authority over officials in every generation must not be repealed, but revealed to the American People, the true sovereign in America. It was declared that we are the sovereign in America, and that our sovereignty be backed by lethal force always. It was declared that we have the monopoly on force, from handing just powers of government bodies to citizen oversight of police and military to citizen arrest. The People delegate what we wish, but reserve all authority ourselves. The Second Amendment was written to be impervious to due process such as political sway or majority short of another amendment ..." ... |

"First I'd like to start by saying I am not a National Rifle Association member and my very existence is not threatened or dependent upon the quantity of firearms I might own. But, rather than addressing our gun laws with ignorance, we should look at the facts."
"Other countries have gone down the path of either excessive gun control or banning guns altogether. One recent example is Australia, where assaults are the highest since 1996, armed robbery up 7 percent, and sexual assault has risen at a rate of 4 percent per year and is up 48 percent since 1997. The source of this information is the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Guess what happened in 1996? The Australian government imposed a gun ban/buyback law. ..." ... |

"Just as the Madcap Militia Munitions Works (a wholly owned subsidiary of NITMIL Labs) is gearing up to load several hundred .300 Winchester Magnums with AP projectiles, comes this article from Strategy Page:"
"Magnum Reach Required"
"March 24, 2009: Once again, the U.S. Army is responding to requests from snipers for a longer range weapon, but not one as bulky and heavy as the .50 caliber rifle. In response to these requests, the army is modifying existing M24 rifles to fire the power powerful .300 Winchester Magnum round. It was felt that this gave the snipers all the additional range they needed, without requiring a much heavier rifle. SOCOM has been using this approach since the early 1990s." ... |

Everyone in the media, with the possible exception of Lou Dobbs, has joined in the campaign of lies."

Anderson Cooper and Janet Napolitano are either ignorant or complicit in the myth that M-203s, RPGs and hand grenades are readily available to the American gun consumer.
