The 2A blogoshphere is white hot right now. I mentioned yesterday that I watched the President's speech, and the moment he started choking up, I knew he had decided to use Connecticut to make a move on 2A.
Breathe.
I have no crystal ball. But I do not think this will be the Mao Moment (the label I use for that moment when the Executive drops all pretense and moves for the throat).
This ain't that moment.
President Obama is a guy who wants to always do bigger and better. You have to understand his gargantuan Ego to understand where he will go, why and when. He'd never be happy with merely re-instating the AWB. He hasn't put his personal mark on it, AWB is 'been there, done that', so it is of no value to his Ego. President Obama wants to be the guy in history books known for killing 2A entirely.
He can't get there from Connecticut.
I do expect much bellicose posturing, but I really don't think President Obama's plan for killing 2A is mature enough yet, so I do not think he'll try to pull that trigger - sorry for the pun. He may give his base a few scraps, like banning hi-caps and some other easy ones. But I simply do not think he is ready - yet - to declare all production stop at S&W or Ruger, or that all ARs are now banned, or that gun shops may no longer sell to the public. That's his goal, to be sure, but this isn't his path, I think.
Yes, this will be news for a few cycles. Yes, the Marxists will try to get something, but I think the Hard Left will be sorely disappointed by the President, because I do not think he's willing or ready to reach that far - yet. Look for "Mental Health" to be the big one that slips in the matrix out of Connecticut. I think that is where he will look for a "Victory" on this one. Bi-polar? No 2A for you. Ever take a sleeping pill? No 2A for you.
He'll reach and expand the scope of "Prohibited Persons" more than he'll worry about the mechanics of the firearms.
I think.
I could be wrong. That almost happened once - scared the hell out of me. ;)
Right now the Redoubt Project and the firearms company are staying their respective courses. (Speed is accelerating on the Redoubt). So if you want your place in the Redoubt, please go now and do a proper application. Here's the link.
If I am wrong and Rule of Law is totally abandoned, here's the deal: If you are a Founder, you will get directions to the Redoubt location by back channels when necessary.
If you have properly applied to the Redoubt (which means you have filled out the application and submitted the application fee) then you will also receive exact location of the Redoubt when the time is right so you can meet us there.
At the moment, the Redoubt Beachhead is nothing but remote, undeveloped high mountains. If we all decide we need to get out of Dodge and meet up there, bring your gear to stay warm and dry.
We'll see what happens, of course. But this isn't his Mao Moment. He's not ready to go for all of the chips - yet.
So, breathe and carry on, Patriots. But you'd better be working on those preps. This ain't no f'n game. Buses and cattle cars are real. Ditches are real. And if you read THIS blog, you are already assigned to one of those ditches. YOU are the Bad People to the Marxists, and you'd better understand they will, one day, try to kill us by the millions.

Agreed, this is not "it". They may take a little nibble, but they are not ready to start RevWar III... Yet. They are very patient in turning up the heat on that frog. Don't want to spook him by getting too aggressive...
ReplyDeleteConcur with you Sam...this isn't "IT." But, like Hussein's buddy Rahm says "Never let a good crisis go to waste," I expect we WILL see BHO moving up his plans to add weapons to the Nat'l Firearms Act (i.e. anything semi-auto; anything 'hi-capacity' magazine, etc). He can do that via executive fiat, and can bypass Congress. Nobody, other than himself, can stop him from "legally" doing that as it is an Executive privlege. I'm HOPING he doesn't, because I really, really, really want my III Arms AR-15!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, and probably a couple more atrocities ...then El presidente would "have no choice but to act"...
ReplyDeleteTeachers send students to counsellors, they refer the kids to school psychologists, who advise psychiatrists to prescribe SSRI's and other psychotropic drugs.
ReplyDeleteWe have at least two generations of school-crafted ticking bombs already... and the pace is accelerating.
This is not an accident or coincident.
Mr Travis - you are 100% correct.
DeleteNor is it an accident that, in many of these "shooting sprees" the whereabouts of the shooter in the days immediately before the event is in notable doubt... which begs the question of how well timed these 'events' seem to be - the timing of the Colorado theatre shooting was painfully non-coincidental, in particular.
ReplyDeleteAnd anyone who thinks that the DARPA/DoD scientists hapily gave up on project MK-Ultra 30 years ago (as instructed by congress, only after the project was made public) are gravely mistaken. They just packed up their research and moved it to more secure quarters, and with 30 years of nearly unlimited manpower and an unlimited budget, they have developed a formula for "liquid rage" that can be used to create an overwhelming urge to do violence...it is common knowlege that a subject can be properly prepared with a negative fixation in a matter of days - all it takes is some sleep deprivation, humiliation, some light psychotropics to eliminate rational discretion, and lastly a properly focused "source" upon which to fixate the hate which is produced. Those with pre-existent mental illnesses, histories of abusing certain substances, who have had troubled childhoods, and/or those with PTSD are particularly easy to manipulate in such ways.
Not to be irreverent of those whose lives were ended yesterday, nor their families who are in mourning, but lets evaluate how easily this atrocity could have been 'programmed" into a troubled young man with mild autism - in this case the focused source could have been nothing more than a repeating recording of young children laughing - and the focused and repeated imperative that the childrens' voices were mocking and taunting the subject, and how badly he wanted...he needed to silence them. Having thus pushed the subject to the point of a psychotic break, all that would be needed is to add a dose of "liquid rage" and release him into the intended environment...
It's been done in Central America, Europe, and Chechnya/Russia in the last 15 years, at a minimum.
I'm not talking outta my tailpipe here, which is why I am remaining anonymous for the purpose of this post...
I disagree to some extent. I don't think he'll do it yet but individual states will. A war doesn't have to start everywhere at once - it can start in one location and then spread throughout the Nation.
ReplyDeleteIf California bans semi-autos and meets sufficient resistance, then other states will look at that and start pointing fingers, jumping up and down and say "See? They're a bunch of fanatics" and enact their own bans, which in turn causes more bloodshed and then more gun bans and more violence.....
That being said, I truly hope I'm wrong but I never have been one to look at the positive side of anything.
Honestly, I believe even the most clear thinking free people/citizens of this republic are going to be shocked by Barry's national press conference tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI believe without any doubt that the most outrageous restrictions and outright bans are going to be announced at that time.
Without question, they are feverishly putting pen to paper tonight creating the rough draft; the speech to be made and the EO's to follow.
Yup. This.
DeleteNEWPORT BEACH (CBSLA.com) — A shooting has been reported in the parking lot of Fashion Island in Newport Beach.
ReplyDeletePolice said shots were fired outside the Macy’s. The store is on lockdown.
Anyone else find this to be beyond all possibility of coincidence? - The father of Newtown Connecticut school shooter Adam Lanza is Peter Lanza who is a VP and Tax Director at GE Financial. The father of Aurora Colorado movie theater shooter James Holmes is Robert Holmes, the lead scientist for the credit score company FICO. Both men were to testify before the US Sentate in the ongoing LIBOR scandal. The London Interbank Offered Rate, known as Libor, is the average interest rate at which banks can borrow from each other. 16 international banks have been implicated in this ongoing scandal, accused of rigging contracts worth trillions of dollars. HSBC has already been fined $1.9 billion and three of their low level traders arrested.
