Is the high road being infiltrated?

I think JustJim hit it. If you participate in internet forums you've chosen to compromise your life to some degree.

I simply Mirandize myself before I post.

I have the right to remain silent
If I choose to waive that right anything I say can be used against me.

It's not rocket science

If the goverment wanted to know who has gun all they have to do is not destroy NCIS information when people get background checks.
 
Is the high road being infiltrated?
I noticed over the last several months the number of "He who has call III stuff"& "Show me whats in your gun safe" have went up. I might have my tin foil hat on a little to tight and I haven't had my coffee yet, but does anyone else find it fishy that most of these threads are started by new members and hardly and of them have a pic to offer up of there stash?

I know THEY can track you by your IP or other ways I don't know about, but starting these threads in some of the most politically charged times is ironic. Right now were in the calm before the storm, why give them info to use later?

You should get with your doctor and review your medications.

It's "Class III" "What's in your . . . " "Their stash." Yes, as a matter of fact I am in a pissy mood.
 
If the line I saw at the gun show today (est 400) is any indication, I would expect more and more to seek out these forums.

I found this site in either looking for a pic or some specific info on a particular firearm.

Perused it a bit, and decided to stay.
 
No need to talk about this, everyone move along... as a side note, lets see everyone's RPG's!

:waits for suckers:

But really, I'm sure there are some atf guys on here on a regular basis, but other than the occasional fool (plant?) who asks about illegal full auto, I've never seen anything close to illegal on this board.
 
If a thief were to be looking at the pictures and planning on stealing them, that's one thing, but the government? I'm not afraid of the government coming for the guns in the pictures that I post.
 
For some, it makes sense not to post

For those of us who have been writing, advocating for the RKBA issues for many years, including in newspapers and other print sources, it is way too late to say "If I don't speak, they won't know who I am." Basically, ya gotta decide if preaching to the choir is worth the risk. I am already made, so there is no point in me stopping now. Since I am already on their list, I might as well keep on writing to give those who can't or choose not to, a voice.

Great point though and thanks for bringing it up.

I'm having trouble with my safe combination.

Could you guys post close-up movies showing how you work yours?

Thanks,

:rolleyes:
 
Thanks for the criticism and/or support! I went to wally world and got a 3 month supply of meds for only $10!!! To bad they cant do something like that with ammo.

I know there are about a few dozen better ways to get gun info. All it would take is for some goon to walk into whatever state/local office does your state's CCW and walk out with the entire list.

You can look into this a bunch of different ways, Im sure most of those threads are from new members who are excited about guns and want to see what else is out there. If your comftorable with putting what you own out here for the world to see, go for it. I personally enjoy seeing the user who has a nice modest collection, it kind of gives me something to shoot for. (you guys with whole gun room though, Im just down right jealous of you.)

But what happens when someone is taking about how bad we gun owners are for having an "arsenal" and they put up the pic you up on the Internet of your gun safe overflowing with EBR and other scary guns. And year, they can go get a crap load from an evidence locker somewhere and stage it.

I never said "WE SHOULD BAN THOSE THREADS" I just simply throwing it out there that people may be lurking around with less curious intentions.
 
There's always an influx of new people after major events. The antis are usually very obvious. Both noobs and antis may often start of with the same rhetoric, but usually the noobs start assimilating our culture very quickly. They're usually the first ones to go "on the attack" against the antis who join. It's kind of like a McCarthy witch hunt sometimes. Everyone is a potential anti to the newer members.

But yes, there has been an influx of newer people. Most of them are the, "Oh my God, I guess they really are going after my guns!" type.
 
I'm with Jorg and Treo. I'm not ashamed to be a gun owner. (Ask anyone who knows me.) The main reason I've never posted pics is that my wife controls the camera, and I've never gotten around to it.

If the .gov were to use anything in here to confiscate, well....I'll try to look at it from this perspective. If I were an agent of the government, ordered to go forth and confiscate, and all the information I had was what is contained in this forum, both in public view AND the information that isn't normally visible, I think I would have a very difficult job indeed.
 
Here's my standard response to such threads:

Here's a thought for a thread.....

"Show us pictures of your bank account, social security, credit card, home address and phone numbers."

Makes about as much sense to me.

:cool:
 
went to a gun show today the line was 3 blocks long had to walk 1/2 mile to get in line . hell with it i just went home
 
Wow, it must be a living hell to be unable to distinguish between personally identifying information and objects you just happen to own.

Yeah Jorg, it's a living hell.

Sucks to be me.

:cool:
 
THR and TFL are the two biggest gun related forums on the internet. Of course they are and have been infiltrated if you want to use that word. I bet the FBI has an agent assigned to reading forums all day long.
 
I know how important we consider the 2nd Amend to be, but I hate to break it to those who think this is the most important issue facing the country. Nobody at the FBI or ATF is spending time monitoring gun sites. The web sites they are monitoring are the pedophile and neo-Nazi ones.
 
I'm always amazed at the people who keep calling others paranoid. Are there not factions that would love to see our guns taken away? And you can best believe that this forum and like-minded forums are being watched. No, you might not have a JBT come to your house and kick in your door the day after you post your gun collection but just remember that everything you post on the net can be retrieved. Now, if you want to post your gun collection that is fine and I have always liked those threads. It's interesting to see all the different firearms that people posess. There are some very interesting collections out there indeed. There are plenty of guns I didn't even know existed until I saw some of these types of threads. However, you know .gov and the antis love INFORMATION and these forums are the best place to get it from. Why do the research yourself when you can just get it from the horse's mouth. I would just be mindful of WHAT you are saying and posting. But of course this is The High Road and everyone here knows that already right? :D
 
22-Rimfire, That would be a cool job. Consider being paid tom read this gun blog. Hell I have to do it on my own time.

But that would be the best excuse to get out of doing real work, ever! Imagine being able to read THR for a living. :cool:

edit: I see ed beat me to it, while I was typing.
 
I'm fairly certain most folks with NFA items aren't alerting .Gov to anything by posting pics here. I'm pretty sure they already know.
 
Along the same line, look at how many 'new members' showed up pre election, claiming that their candidate, in spite of his voting record, was indeed a supporter of the Second Amendment. Where are they at now?

Many are still here. Now, they often post that we are all being ridiculous for worrying about a ban. Or better yet, they remind us that it is up to us NOW to fight to prevent one.


It has ALWAYS been up to us to prevent bans, but it GALLS me to repeatedly be reminded of it by people who publicly stated here a bit back that they were voting FOR the guy who will try to pass that ban.

It’s like Ted Bundy telling soriety girls that it’s their fault that they get raped in their own bedroom.

I am not especially paranoid, but it is a good idea to remember that posting on a site like this is NOT the same as chatting with your buddies over cold brews in the rec room.

It is more like going on Larry King Live with a megaphone. Anything you post can be read by a couple of hundred million people, not all of whom are nice folks or pro-gun.

I don't believe the BATFE or FBI spends time searching this or any other site for gun serial numbers to get backdoor registration; they have better things to do.

But some comments are out of bounds and mostly you know what they are.

Jim
