Will someone connect the dots for me, please?

While we're very happy to have you in the Gulch and appreciate your wanting to fully engage, some things in the Gulch (e.g. voting, links in comments) are a privilege, not a right. To get you up to speed as quickly as possible, we've provided two options for earning these privileges.
We could rely on the election and encourage everyone to vote. The truth is most low information voters should not be allowed nor asked to vote. Just check out "Watter's World" on the O'reilly factor for a demonstration of man on the street stupidity.
Beyond that, logistically our only alternative would be messages by courier. The government and NSA are monitoring messaging and movements around the world. If someone gave the signal, "let's role" over the internet, twitter, facebook, cell phone, or any other digital device, big brother would send a black SUV and pick them up. Just consider all the lone wolfs they have thwarted.
So here we sit, some of the best informed, educated, and able people in the country with personal knowledge of how things should be, and we are left helpless to change things.
Gingrich said last night on Hannity there is a big change coming from the electorate. 70%+ of the people out here are fed up. I would guess the other side knows that too and is moving with great haste to surrender our sovereignty to the UN and use international forces to quell any uprisings in flyover country. Large urban areas are easy to sedate, just hand out the free stuff.
The other thing you can do is look up your local party organizations and get involved with them. Help get our electorate more informed through those orgs, raise money for candidates or volunteer for campaigns. Stuffing envelopes for a political mailing is better than sitting at home.
When law is dictated by a president, we have a
DIC.....TA......TOR.....SHIP !!!!!!
Perhaps the time has come for Congress to do something about it.
My glove compartment ,45 tending to become a "jamamatic" at the pistol range, I'm going to trade it in for a 9mm that shoots a lot more bullets. My son has such a pistol he carries holstered inside his belt.
The new gun would contain the same ammo as the pocket pistol I bought this last summer.
I've read that cowboys liked the compatible ammo of their .45 Colt revolvers and Winchester rifles. So yippy-ti-yay!
And maybe I'll get an AR-15 also.
I recently surprised my son by shooting a tighter group with his home assembled AR-15 than he had lethal enough at the time.
I explained that before I retired, the Alabama DOC required me to NRA qualify with an AR-15
at annual training sessions between 1984 - 2013.
Oops, new thought. Maybe I should look for a similar rifle that fires 9mm. I'll research that.
I've read that his majesty the dictator does not like civilians to have .223-cal. rounds.
The trick was not silencing the weapon but the cartridge itself. So... beefed up necked down .44 down to .357 cartridge (which in real life along with the .38 and the 9mm and the 9mm short or .380 has never been more than .355 to .356 the rest was advertising) The necked down portion was heavily built up and held a piston disc with a rod, powder loaded from the rear and the primer seated last. All that was left was the revolver actions as the cylinder turned and the hammer cocked. And the pin striking the primer.
Primer ignited powder burned and expanded and slammed the piston forward just like launching jet the bullet was propelled by that force with enough power to do the job at 50' to 100 feet'.
The explosion was contained as the disc sealed the end of the cartridge at the neck. No suppressor needed Voila the world's first but not last use of a fully sound suppressed revolver (other than mechanical action. No sonic boom so very quiet.
Some were developed for use in semi-automatic pistols as well.
This was one of the few if not only weapons designs not stolen from the Germans. But Russia was not the only country to do that. The famous Springfield rifle of WW1 fame had a Mauser Action and our courts made the government pay the royalties after that war.
No proof but one story claims Russian designer of the sound suppressed cartridge followed the design of ...you guessed it... Navy carriers launching with steam catapults. Developed by the British. Which brings us back to SaltyDog.
If you look at Zogby polls it shows for the first time ever the pro 2nd Amendment vs the anti-gun vote is 51 to 49 percent.
Think about that the margin of error is usually 3% and with this many uneducated voters the gov't could plow through anti-gun legislation without much of an uproar. If you think that crazy, ask yourself this:
Is it an infringement to have to get a permit?
Is it an infringement to have to register [license (you know the paperwork you fill out with the weapons serial number on it)] a weapon?
Is it an infringement to tax the purchase of a weapon or ammo?
Is it an infringement to require you to take courses before being able to buy a weapon?
As to taxing the purchase, why is it they cannot tax bread, milk, eggs, or meat but, they can tax weapons and ammo?
You see they have been taking over for years and this CPOTUS [Clown President Of The United States] thinks its time to finish the job.
The tactical portion was never attacking the same type of target twice nor use the same methods or technology. Thus the government forces never knew what to defend. Tupamaros were defeated by a whisker an the the once proud "Switzerland of South America' never fully regained what it had lost. The one common factor was always ensure the target area included innocent women and children.
Gradually the increased repression used by the government at the behest of citizens took it's toll and they began to support the insurgents ....you starting to think this sounds familiar? It is. What Hillary referred was a reversal of roles where the Government uses the Cycle of Repression against it's own citizens. Gradually it evolved into the formation of the first Protective Echelon (German for Schutz Staffel) in North America and the future Directorate of Internal State Security was formed.
In giving up the moral and political values of the Bill of Rights the US lost that round - the terrorists (foreign) won and we now face domestic terrorism as a result.
TSA is but a small part of it....the only question is where will they strike next. I make a point of never attending high school basketball games recalling the movie Carrie.
Sell your soul for perceived safety and security and reap the whirlwind...
Lots of resources may be found on a google search. It's standard fare for training in certain of our military units and has been since the sixties. Oddly enough I never saw them invited to join in the new organization. But the instant expert amateurs arrived by the thousands.

Irrational Pragmatists. It's fear and a lack of principles.
Remember from our history, all the same fears and hate-mongering that went on during the Irish/Catholic 'invasion'.

However, as you later stated, and I too want, "reason and truth to win the world. So be it.
Let me toss this out:
If I had lived in New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina, the most important truth in the world to me is that the Army Corps of Engineers MUST reinforce the levees, and further, anyone who disagrees with me on that is simply wrong. However, I don't live in New Orleans, and I might think that anyone who chooses to live in a soup bowl 40 feet below sea level is a dolt, and I might object to spending tax dollars to fix anything there.
You see, differences is our perception of 'truth' can make for good, and sometimes spirited debates among civil people. People who refuse to be civil, however, deserve nothing more than to be ignored by both sides of the discussion.
and example Truth is gravity causes the Earth to rotate around the Sun. There is not three truths there, but one. Some people may think that's good or bad-but that is an evaluation of facts.
There is ONE objective truth.
Your position is untenable, K, and thus flawed.
Conservatives, since 9/11 have used our fear to take our freedom and grind it into the ground, and they're upping their game.
I don't live my life in fear because rationally, I don't see anyone around me to substantiate fear, unless you count the people in my government, or the conservatives that seem to want to give up more and more of our freedoms, and want the US to intervene in other men's lives and their countries' problems without invitation.
I still keep my weapons accessible as I have most of my life, but I don't sleep with them under my pillow or point them at strangers when I first encounter them. And I find all the fear mongering going on this site lately, an Objectivist site, to be insulting and sad.
Fear can be a useful emotion, but only when it's rationally assessed and used by the individual feeling it. But when one let's it control them and their reactions, it can kill.
I'm done with your insults, Zen. I'll allow you the last word.
