Yeah, nothing like having your heart and mind won first thing in the morning by the exemplars of anti-violence.
With gentle souls like this explaining the error of my ways, I find myself wondering if I’m carrying a big enough gun…

Scary Manifesto that keeps getting pushed down on the sidebar by filthy capitalism!
They say that Louis XIV had the inscription Ultima Ratio Regum cast into all the cannon of the French Army. It means “The Ultimate Argument of Kings,” and that always struck me as one of the most honest and up-front things any ruler or would-be ruler ever said. “We can dress it up prettier than this, but when it comes down to the unvarnished truth this is what it’s about: You’ll do as I say or I’ll send my goons to kill you.”
I thought about that for a long time. If there’s an ultimate argument, it seems only logical that there must be an ultimate answer. For years I thought the ultimate answer must be the bullets in my rifle, but it never seemed quite right. I’ve got bullets – he’s got frigging Cannon Balls. I mean, if there were three hundred million rifles throwing bullets at him, then maybe. But we all know that’s not going to happen. So if there’s an ultimate answer to his ultimate argument, it sure as hell ain’t bullets.
It finally came to me – and that’s when I abandoned the city and most of my stuff, and gave all that was behind me a good stiff Randian Shrug.
The ultimate answer to kings is not a bullet, but a belly laugh.

Previous OPSEC Violations
WHY do the banners insist that having a gun equals gun violence? Idiots.
The evidence from history is clear. The left MUST confiscate guns before they take over. You cannot have a violent Marxist/communist revolution if the peasants are armed. It’s getting serious now and guns have to be confiscated. No more hiding behind phony agenda’s the left is “coming out”.
The really funny thing to me is they want to disarm the people with guns by using other people with guns to do THEIR dirty work. Anti-gunners need to be hands-on, leading the way up to the home so people know they are really serious about this.
Oh, yes, threats of violence are going to be great ways to convince us to relinquish our ability to defend ourselves against violence.
This happens all the time. These paper tigers live to talk tough. It always comes down to firing squads and gulags with their type.
When faced with two men, one who says “leave me alone and let me do my own thing,with my abiluty to defend myself and my ability to own property and be free in tact” and a second man telling that first man to line up against the wall to be summarily executed for having “ungood” opinions, these gents always seem to be rooting for guy #2.
Then they wonder why we cling to our guns so bitterly.
Come and get them, nancy.
