But you know I'm not. It requires pain, and lots of it for the people to develop the will to risk everything for the hope of something better. It takes a hell of a lot for folks to think that the juice of revolution is worth the squeeze, especially when their bellies are filled with bread and their nights are filled with watching the circus. "The fact is that the average man's love of liberty is nine-tenths imaginary, exactly like his love of sense, justice and truth. He is not actually happy when free; he is uncomfortable, a bit alarmed, and intolerably lonely. Liberty is not a thing for the great masses of men. It is the exclusive possession of a small and disreputable minority, like knowledge, courage and honor. It takes a special sort of man to understand and enjoy liberty — and he is usually an outlaw in democratic societies." - H.L. Mencken

Of course, it's a hypothetical conversation as it honestly doesn't matter if the government figures out how to revoke the 2A and go full on Bolshevik. As long as the internet still works, power still comes on, and the grocery store shelves still have food, things will carry on as they always have been. Freedom isn't important to the masses as long as life is still comfortable.

While I half-jokingly talk about the tank driver, the truly high value targets are the government bureaucrats, perfunctories, and officials who carry the will of the government against the people. All it takes is a revolver, opportunity and the will to get the job done. As Mac mentioned, WWI was started with a couple of shots from a single pistol.

Even the tank driver has to pee.

Here's an illustrated version of the Lawdog post that may be useful for y'all on the book of faces.

And for those that don't, let me refresh some memories. http://thelawdogfiles.blogspot.com/2010/09/ok-ill-play.html?m=1

I'm glad someone remembers Lawdog.

Garufa knows what's what. I totally figured that went without saying. I mean he was a liberal democrat until he decided to run for President. He supported the awb in his books and he WILL flip on the 2A.

How do those bus wheels feel, fellas? I think they're stupid toys, but the folks at Negotiating Rights Away and the Republicans have just thrown ya down there in a nice little knee jerk reaction.

The boys at Negotiating Rights Away are at it again. http://www.politico.com/story/2017/10/05/nra-calls-for-federal-review-of-whether-bump-fire-stocks-comply-with-current-law-243500

I have.

I believe the technical term would be "two chairs pushed together."

This pic was posted in another board, but the images can be found on zero hedge and other spots. I won't post a link in the thread because the article has a suicide pic.

Images from inside the hotel room are starting to leak out. Looks like he had a stack of surefire 100s over by the pillar. I refrained from posting the more graphic ones. It also appears the bumpfire stocks were the method of choice for increasing the rate of fire.

Oh, thanks for letting me know that. I wasn't aware that you had mind reading powers and were intimately familiar with the thoughts of multiple dozen NFL players and the millions of other folks who support them. Including me. I really appreciate you telling me how I feel about all of this.

Only if Trump flips back to his prior pro-AWB positions that he held before deciding to run for president as a Republican.

I'm going to remain positive and hold out hope until the Petty camp makes an official announcement.

This is not exactly correct. In raw numbers, yes, police do kill more whites than blacks but whites are four times the population of blacks. When you look at the per capita rates, black folks make up 13% of the population and are 26% of the number of folks killed by police. When you compare the percentage of folks killed by police to their percentage of the population, blacks are killed by police at a rate 2.5 times that of white folks. And for the record, nobody is disrespecting the flag or the country, they are just asking the country to stand up for them before they stand up for it. Until then they will kneel and some like me will pray while kneeling that this country begins to actually live up to the ideals it purports to hold dear.

With the other events going on this will probably get overshadowed, but a legend died today. https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/tom-petty-on-life-support-after-being-found-unconscious-tmz/

Yep. I imagine in the coming days we will find out that a significant portion of the injuries and possibly even fatalities were due to crush and stampede injuries as opposed to gunfire.

If it was a false flag, I'm putting my money on the NFL being behind it. We haven't argued about protests all morning. I mean, that's no more ridiculous of an idea than any other false flag theory, right?

That is the username as a former member here. He was, let's just say, a fun time.

I believe this is what is known by the technical term "wishful thinking."

Gonna call the HPA dead as well. Hillary already tweeted about how a suppressor would have made it harder for the victims to run away from the sound of gunshots.
