A few weeks ago we planned yesterday as the day where a bunch of Arizona gun-listserv keyboard kommandos who've never met, would go to Ben Avery range for some subgun fun and then have an open-carry lunch at Panda Express, dessert at Coldstone Creamery, and cawfee tawk at Starbucks (all located in one strip mall).

Over at Starbucks, Alan Korwin www.gunlaws.com mentioned that he had read a book by Nom de Plume "Boston T. Party" (Ken Royce) which was of the same genre as "Unintended Consequences.' It is titled, "Molon Labe" and details the libertarian take-over of Wyoming (Royce has been pushing this "Libertarian Fantasy" as an anti-New Hampshire free state project for a few years). The book is centered upon the population by libertarian-minded folk of county boards, city councils, state legislature...etc, etc which leads to rejection of federal highway funds, among other balls-and-chains, and the Fed.gov's reaction to it.

Atomic insurance policy:

Um... apparently there are three nuclear warheads missing from the ICBM silos located in the state. Ooopsie.

Korwin loved the book, but was uncomfortable with a portion of it which dealt with "assassination politics" a la "Unintended Consequences" 'Time to feed the hogs.' As a result, Korwin is not sure if he wants to link the book to his web site, but he rather enjoyed reading it.

Javelin Press handles the books....

I read the book and enjoyed it throughly.

Read the book and loved it. The only problem is that it is a work of fiction.

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the book only motivated about 3 people to move to Monatana or where ever... :uhoh:

[Molon Labe]

Great novel. :)

[PromptCritical]

I read it and enjoyed it thouroughly. As with the rest of the genre, even if the story is sometimes hard to swallow, it has a healthy dose of good information. I had never heard of "Fully Informed Juries" before.

Another good information source is "Patriots: Surviving the Coming Collapse" for the ultimate SHTF scenario.

It's now actually a case of Life imitating Art:

Many more than 3 people have actually moved to Wyoming
because of Molôn Labé! and the FSW.

Meet some of them on our forum:

Thank you all for reading my book, and for the kind praise.

now I wish I had moved to Wyoming...I just might move anyway....
anyway Molon Labe is one of the best books I've read in years...

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, the book only motivated about 3 people to move to Monatana or where ever... Don't be so hasty to dismiss those 3 people. That actually represents a significant percentage of the current population. Could be enough of a swing to affect a large number of local elections.

My view differs. I suffered through the book because I expected it to get better. It did not.

"Molon Labe" is slow, boring and lacks touch with reality. C'mon, really- devil worshipers in the inner circle and threatening the US dotgov with stolen nukes?

And Royce- the only purpose of this book is to aggrandize his overinflated ego.

Don't buy it. If you MUST read it, borrow a copy.

[Art Eatman]

ajkurp, I'e been in this gun-copntrol thrash since the run-up to GCA '68. I've tried and tried to figure out the mental processes and reasoning of the anti-gun crowd, given their behavior in the face of facts and the real world--which so refute all their BS.

Hey, devil-worship makes as much sense as anything else! :D:D:D Maybe more sense that some other effort at psychiatric analysis...

Very true. And only 100 voters represents a 3.8-6% block in
several of the Wyoming counties.

To use a line I inherited elsewhere:
"Personal attacks are not allowed on THR."
Sorry that ML was not your kind of book.
If my head ever pops, then my ego was overinflated...
(NOTE TO THE MODERATOR: Please do not lock the thread because
of ajkurp's remark. The offended party is not that offended.)


from Art:

As an atheist friend of mine once quipped, "It would explain a lot!"


And, Rick, thanks for beginning this thread.
Keep talking to Alan K. about ML.
He's not in any jeopardy for carrying it.
Heck, the NRA stocks it in the Virginia HQ bookstore!

I've enjoyed ML both times I've read it. I love the quotes that are included.

Hey, having read Pate's coverage of Ruby Ridge and Waco, having watched all the hearings, having been on one federal criminal-trial jury and having been a witness at another federal-criminal trial, I can relate to a bunch of the stuff in the book.

I guess I gotta vote thumbs-up on the devil worship. It means there's hope. After all, there's a pretty good song about what happened to the Devil when a couple of drunk Texas cowboys ran onto him on the trail back to camp. "Sairy Peaks", I believe it is, on Damron's final CD.

there's a pretty good song about what happened to the Devil when a couple of drunk Texas cowboys ran onto him on the trail back to camp. "Sairy Peaks", I believe it is
From a poem called "Tying Knots in the Devil's Tail" written by a woman whose name I can't remember. I think the song name is supposed to be a cowboy (mis)pronounciation of "Sierra Peaks" as in the Sierra Nevada of CA.

Lots of people have recorded the song, including Ian Tyson.

[Art Eatman]

:) Yup.

My sincerest apology. I did not intend my comment as an attack, only opinion.

Thanks for being understanding. I highly recommend Boston's Gun Bible to anyone here that has not yet read it.

Thanks for saying so. Apology accepted, of course.
I'm glad you like BGB.

Art, I, too enjoyed those quotes, and it was difficult to
cut the ones I did. The really fun ones for me to write
were the Harquist book excerpts. I hope that I did the
arrogance and depravity of such people justice.

I've not heard that song, but (being from Texas) I imagine
that the Texas cowboys prevailed!

I stand corrected ... Gail Gardner is a man ... :o :uhoh:
