That this whole Oregon thing has certainly shaken the tree and gotten the somewhat radical (for whatever level of radical works for you) folks to start shrieking and flinging poo…….at the government, the “Militia” and at each other.
I mean, I realize that I am far from mainstream, but these folks are WAAAAAY beyond that.
Kinda fun to watch, actually. I wonder if the Left has the same issues?
Of course, the feminists and the liberals (two groups who, for the most part have venn diagrams that largely overlap) and the DNC (pretty much ditto) will be screaming about a “woman’s right to choose”, and “my body my choice” and “entitlements” and all their standard whooraw and such…
But really, He has a point:
I think that (here in the US, at least), properly implemented, simple drug tests every month would do more, mind you….one fail and you are allowed rehab, two and you don’t get welfare for a year. That, I think, would work better.
But I am told that I am mean, and racist, and all that.
I mean, forcing people to get ID’s and all……Especially ID’s that meet Federal Standards and such.
Didn’t we hear how an ID (of any kind) to vote was a terrible hardship to people, poor people, people of color and all that?
Yet I don’t hear the outcry from the DNC or any other liberal organization about this:
Isn’t that racist? It was a hardship for people to prove their identity to vote….now you have to meet even more stringent Identification standards to fly, or enter a federal courthouse, or a federal prison….Isn’t that even more racist(er) or something?
Think about this, however:
Now, to fly DOMESTICALLY, you need either a Compliant State ID, or a US State Department issued PASSPORT….
Haven’t we heard this somewhere before?
Ihre Papiere bitte Your Papers, Please……
That those people in (or actually, near) Burns, Oregon are “Militia”….
They are gonna lump these fools in with people like us.
I’m not so sure that that is an accident, especially with the timing of Barry’s coming Anti-Gun push.
I’m fairly certain that this is a setup.
Think about it.
ETA: I just saw Ammon Bundy on CBS….I got the feeling that he isn’t sure, exactly, why he is there or what the end goal is….
are the III patriots?
I mean, they have that short bus, and the mobile kitchen and all that that they solicited donations from a shitload of people to acquire…..Just for situations like THIS happening today in Oregon…yet I don’t see any of them driving there to feed the protesters.
(Just for the record, I don’t think that these folks are gonna make any difference, and really, even the Hammonds (who are going to jail) are not supportive of this protest……And committing a crime on Federal Property isn’t a good idea…it is, in fact, a really bad idea…I think about half of the leaders are agent provocateurs)
But this is exactly what those folks gave all their money for.
I mean, they posted that if you didn’t donate you weren’t a “True Patriot” and all that….(I didn’t give ’em a dime….I don’t need some keyboard Kommando to tell me whether I am a patriot or not)

Says Hillary Clinton.
Yet she is surrounded by armed men. Odd that. Is she a hypocrite?
The Donald says “If she really believes that she should demand that her heavily armed bodyguards quickly disarm!”
Which is true, but Hillary only means her words of rule for the little people….
To each and every one of you.
May your New Year be profitable, happy, and safe.
And Barry outlaws such machinery (if he can,…. and the big question: if our legislators will roll over and let him…)…
What are you gonna do?
Bury ’em in the backyard? (We will get to that later)…..
Turn ’em in like the Australians did?
Really, what are ya gonna do?
A lot of New Yorkers chose to Not Comply with the “Safe Act”…
Now, apparently, (and, illegally, I think) somehow the NY State Police have 4473’s….the better to knock your door down with a search warrant some evening….
Unless you have done a great job of hiding ’em, they’ll find ’em. And charge you…and fine or incarcerate you. Best have a plan and have ’em (and the ammo) hidden well…..very well.
I, for one, believe that if the time has come to hide/bury those firearms, then it is past time to use ’em instead….
But I have also taken the time over the years to make several cache areas….some near my home, some elsewhere….in order that I have options and time to plan.
All cache areas are well salted with scrap iron. Steel and aluminum washers, short (and long) bits of rebar, and allthread….some an inch long, some a foot or two….some 16 and 20 inches long. Lots of buried wire that is (oddly enough) about 20″ long…the same general length of a barrel and receiver. lots of aluminum cans and small blocks of aluminum…. Lots of empty cases buried or pushed into the ground. sometimes in groups of 20 or 30….(I pick ’em up from the trash at the public ranges)…even a few buried ammo boxes here and there….
How many false positives before the searchers give up? How many pieces of 3/8″ or 1/4″ steel pipe buried in PVC tubes before they choose other locations? (A posthole digger is your friend here, BTW…. And this is work. Hard work) I’m not saying that ground penetrating radar wouldn’t be an aid to them, but I have done can do a lot to make even that form of detection harder…..
So. Can. You.
Laying false trails makes ’em waste valuable manpower…and if they are wasting time on your well-seeded possible stash areas, they aren’t looking at your neighbors or compatriots. ….Giving them time to do something. Even giving them time to think how hard they are willing to resist.
Next time you go to the hardware store/Lowes/Home Depot, ask the plumbing department for their mistakes and cutoffs……Might be you can walk out with a bunch of scrap for nothing…Seed several areas. Same-same with your neighbors recyclables. Your workshop scrap? Same-same…
Yes, it is littering. Done in a good cause.
I figure over the years I have left thousands of false triggers for the metal detectors and GPR in many areas. Some also have the cache ready for when I need ’em. Some are ready to receive the stash when the time comes.
Are You Ready?
Or will you knuckle under? Be like the Australians in 1996? Have your freedom taken from you because of one incident used by socialist politicians who want to control you?
Plus, Note that Kalifornia can now take your weapons “Just Because“….and you don’t get any notice they are in court to do so….no chance to face your accuser or defend yourself until AFTER the confiscation has taken place……. I think if I lived there, I’d have already buried one or two…..if I absolutely HAD to live in that state……
