National Victory, Defeated States

It looks like there won't be a federal AWB or magazine capacity restriction. I know not to hold my breath and I keep writing my Congress critters but are already pro-gun as it is, or at least unwilling to turn anti-gun. But it looks like certain states are headed more and more into the anti-American category. Defining anti-American as states that infringe upon any amendment in the BOR.

New York was long considered a lost cause by a lot of us (New Yorkers included, we still have to keep up the political pressure and donate to any legal funds for lawyers taking on their anti-American laws). Minnesota is a hare's breath away from going full Obama party line. Colorado is just about there on the Obama party line. California was plain nuts before any of this but it looks like they are going to try for full on anti-American as soon as possible. Other than that I don't know of any other shifting changes. I would think New Jersey and Maryland would be jumping the anti-American train but I haven't heard anything about that.

I've said, since the panic started, that it's thirteen versus thirty-seven. Thirteen states that will walk almost lock-step with the anti-American Democrats and republicans (yes republicans are guilty too of throwing liberties out the window, and yes some Democrats are good about protecting those liberties). So nationally we might go unscathed but certain states will fall farther into the anti-American influence and suffering.

With that said, what do you think the aftermath will be. I ran across this youtube documentary http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNZO30lPGm4&list=PLVLAyAfRWGI_g2E7snyBzjjYvwT3WdCMK , and I followed it to the YounTurks review of it. Somehow my state of Florida with all its freedoms is responsible for all of the gun murders in Chicago. My freedom is killing people. My rights, my American rights, my god given rights, are the reason Chicago is a failure in gun deaths and crime prevention.

So if these states pass these anti-American laws and they fail. I believe the rest of us will be blamed. Wait I know the rest of us will be blamed. 99.99% of gun owners will be blamed, vilified, and persecuted or at least there will be attempts to persecute.

Some of us are too quick to say "well that's California's problem" or "thank god I don't live New York, let the devil have it".

With the way this country is polarizing, the pro-American crowd is shrinking. Yes there is a resurgence we have desperately needed for a long time. But it's not enough. I used to think I had to be reproductively responsible. Limit myself to having only two kids. Limit myself to consuming a certain amount of goods. Make charitable donations to non-profits that help the less fortunate. Now my eyes are open.

Now I'm going to work like a machine (hello two eighty hour work weeks a month, known you a while, was hoping you'd go away, but you're here to stay along with your cousins the two sixty hour work weeks a month). Now I'm going to have three to four kids (the fiancee said okay, long as we put a few grand away a year for their college education). Now I'm going to buy canned goods for myself, shop more at Goodwill (used to feel bad about buying good jeans there for three bucks or less but [blank] that) for clothes, take up gardening, and avoid making my quarterly food pantry drop offs (found one that would let me drop off big bags of rice and beans along with tuna fish cans, it's part of a church).

Charitable donations, now that is off the table. In 2011 I donated five hundred bucks around christmas time between a few different charities. In 2012 I almost donated a $1,000 but then Sandy Hook happened and I quickly blew through it before the panic ramped up. Now I'm going to sock away four grand for after Christmas to stock up for the year on factory ammo and reloading needs. I joined the NRA and have been donating money and will likely keep doing it every month. Hey I'd love to give ten bucks a month to help feed starving children here in America but it's not my fault, blame the liberals for making me believe the NRA needs and deserves it more. Soon as the liberals stop trying to destroy the second amendment I can donate that money to starving children here in America.

I'm going to come up with a list of anti-American companies to boycott. Try to spend my money on made in America goods so long as the company isn't anti-American. And try to find a legal fund to donate five bucks a month to so long as they are making for a real fight in the courts against gun control.

So will you help me, will you join me, can we stop playing nice with the anti-Americans. Can we admit we're acting to protect our rights and damn the collateral damage, so long as we are not doing anything illegal. Let them call us uncaring, insensitive, and unfeeling, it's a lie, we know it. We just happen to also know there ways are the wrong ways, the dangerous ways, the ways that lead to suffering, tyranny and enslavement.

Let any all defeats fuel us as they have in the past. Let them give wood and oil to the flame of liberty and resistance. Let this flame light the path of freedom and cast light on those that seek to betray us.

Please keep this highroad. I am for gay rights personally. Also remember the pink gun folks, the gays for guns folks. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, the other side as used against us and we should work to do so in turn. At my core I've also believed in the fundamental amendments. The Bill of Rights. You want to keep your gun rights your going to have to bend in other areas. Sorry guys that's how it is.

Politicians, repeat Politicians, use the pro-choice(abortion) agenda to rally their constituents and more often than not they use those constituents to justify destroying the 2nd Amendment. Pro-Gay Rights is the same story. Amnesty for illegal Aliens is the same story. Jingoism, xenophobia, and homophobia are easy temptations for some to get into. And if we give into them we are damning ourselves into the loss of the 2nd Amendment. Face it, unless this country collapses under its own wait there we be no opportunity for a reset. We are all too civilized and good for a reset outside a collapse of this nation.

There are plenty of illegal aliens who if given the chance would vote Pro-RKBA. I know, I represent illegal aliens injured in construction accidents (hey i get to go after employers who knowingly use illegal aliens and make them pay my bills which I use to employ people and buy guns with, and make donations to the NRA with). There are homosexuals who believe in the 2nd Amendment and consider destroying it a travesty. I know because I occassionally go shooting with two NRA members who are gay and convinced me to reup my membership.

At the end of the day we should back our brother and sisters-in-arms regardless of their race, creed, gender, national origin, or sexual orientation so long as they stand the same way on the 2nd Amendment and 1st Amendment. The rest we can dicker over later at this point I say because not much will change till it's time for Obama to leave office, and that's only if the Republicans make more inroads into the house and senate.

One of my less tolerant friends is big time anti-pro-choice. I asked him how he or the government could tell a woman what to do their body, but the government couldn't tell him what to do with his gun. Roe v. Wade came out of the judicial interpretation of the right of privacy (oddly it followed the rights of homosexuals having the right to engage in homosexuality in private and not be prosecuted for it). So if you body is not private enough, then how is your gun private enough.

No war, no struggle, is ever fought clean or without surrendering some ideals. Heck old Abe Lincoln originally didn't want to free the slaves, but after a few years of bloody fighting he did. We bombed the heck out of Japan and Germany before finally winning and killed a lot innocent people by which today we refer to as collateral damage, and collateral damage today is perfectly acceptable. A price of doing business so to speak.

So reaching out to homosexuals, illegal aliens, and other folks whom you might not necessarily agree with. In order to protect the 2nd Amendment, is in my opinion collateral damage. Acceptable collateral damage.

So let's keep this highroad. Lets bring everyone together we can. Otherwise we face losing it all. The fifties so many of us are fond of are gone (for non-whites and homosexuals it was not that fond of a time). Today is a new day. Today is a day of cleverness, tenacity, at times amorality, and pandering. If we don't do it, well they already are.

If a hundred dollars would turn a anti-American to a Pro-RKBA, well brother, whether or not that person made Liberache look dull, whether or not that person felt abortion was acceptable, whether or not that person was an illegal alien (if they can vote), I'd spend it.
