I was with you at first.. But now your sounding like one of those "extremists" ( that scare the shit outta me ) that are stockpiling guns waiting for the "armageddon" lol..
Well I was against you at first (no I didn't -rep I'm not lame.)
Logic is logic.
Am I waiting for Armageddon? In a way yes. With the plethora of unjust laws that exist I don't think that any politician could ever undo 70+ years of restrictive laws. Prohibition of alcohol for example, was not repealed for any reason other than to prevent an armed revolution against the government. Too many people enjoyed drinking and too many suppliers were willing to kill anyone who stood in their way. It was a revolution against an oppressive law.
Do I think that there's a chance that there will be another revolution in the near future? Yes. Do I want there to be blood shed to free us? No. If it happens though I sure as hell won't be one of the slaughtered, if I go down I'll take some oppressors with me.
Am I am extremist? If by extremist you mean someone who believes in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, then absolutely. I support your right to disagree with me fervently. I also support your right to grow weed, smoke weed, and be whoever you wish to be. What I won't support is 'protection of the people' legislation. Most the time when legislation is billed as 'protection for the people' it is more 'profit's for the government.' That's how marijuana prohibition started. George Washington not only supported Hemp production, he actually had a Hemp farm. (little known fact)
It wasn't until the cotton industry whined about a superior product kicking their a$$ that marijuana prohibition started. Then it took on a racist form with 'reefer madness' and it was eventually stamped out as a whole because hemp could out do cotton, and weed would sell better than alcohol. (It's safer, less addictive, and generally better than booze.) That however didn't work for Busch and Jack Daniels post repeal of prohibition so marijuana laws were tightened and 'billed' as 'protecting of the people.'
Gun laws are billed as 'protection for the people' but the reality is that gun laws are protection from the people for the government. They know that they have over stepped their bounds in what they can and can't tell us to do, and to keep us submissive they over tax us, educate us poorly, and continually try to disarm us.
George Washington stated during the Constitutional Convention, "For a people to become submissive the government must control the peoples money and the peoples arms. We must never let that happen."
Thomas Jefferson stated, "For the Citizens of the United States to remain free there should be a revolution every 20 years."
It may shock you but I'm a pacifist who hasn't committed an act of violence in 18 years, and that singular act of violence was in defense of my family.
I firmly believe that it's my duty to protect my family. Yes I'm well trained in weapons handling. I'm also well trained in Zen Buddhism and Tai Chi.
I observe and evaluate. True to my mid-western upbringing I 'hope for the best but prepare for the worse.'
