I believe a full scale revolt will be the only thing to stop this machine because nobody has bothered to do anything about it in the past and let it snowball, they chose to just stand by and listen to those people who say you need to go and vote and make a difference, well, look where that got us. Who hasn't heard the quote by Jefferson, "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants"? Thinking that voting is going to do anything but just slow the inevitable is foolish. We have people in our own group saying everything is going to be fine 20-30-40 years from now just as it was 20-30-40 years ago, there were people who said those same things over 200 years ago to our founding fathers, I'm glad they didn't listen, there were few who could have gone on and chose to be violated by the British while the majority would have been fine, this sounds much like it is today.
I forgot who it was here in the thread about secession who jumped on those talking about actually seceding from the U.S. made a lot of sense. Secede, no way, this is America, people fought and died for it, ours friends and relatives, why would someone want to walk away from something like that and just give it up?
Am i really that forgettable? That is probably a good thing.
The next civil upheaval wont be over guns, it will be over gubment entitlement checks bouncing. We lawful gun owners generally have the presence of mind not held by the dependent sycophants of this country. When they stop getting their checks they will take to the streets. Im not saying we wont be dragged into it, but i bet we run out of money before we run out of guns.
