What good can a handgun do against an army?

[Adam Helmer]

GOB,

THAT is why I keep a 12 gauge with 5 shells in the elastic stock loop by my bedroom door. IF THE JACKBOOTED THUGS want TOUGH, then let them come here. I TAKE NO PRISONERS! Waco proved they take NO Prisoners and we gotta do what we gotta do!

ALL who cannot decide what to do, let me SUGGEST they "GROW A PAIR!!"

Tell us how you really feel Actually you are not alone in your thinking..but the sad fact is the only ones at this time who can really afford to do as you have said here is us oldtimers. Gummit wants us dead anyway..cuttin our medicare bennies and givin 'em to illegals and useless pieces of dirt who feel even if they don't work they are owed everything..just because they live here! I also feel as you do. Guess we are on the short list already, huh?

Guys,
I went through this here in Florida. We had the police chief of Miami in his former role as a member of the legislature put forth a new law to seize all semi auto guns in the state and the legislature was to vote on the law. I took a Suburban full of folks over to Tallahassee and we with 50,000 other folks stood on the capitol steps for a little rally. We heard many speeches and some made the hair on your neck stand up. This is how the real commitment shakes out and it can be no other way:

....I am not going to give up my guns without a fight. You will have to send someone onto my property to take my guns, by force. I fully expect to be killed in the fight and fully understand that you are going to kill me.... but you must understand that I am going to kill many of you before I die. So when you come on my property for my guns, make very sure you come prepared to die with me....

Now what good is a pistol against an army? After 50,000 people on the capitol steps took the above oath, every sheriff in the state, in writing, stated they would not send one deputy to enforce the law if it was passed. I was there and I saw it first hand. Commit to die if necessary and be vocal and the message gets through loud and clear. It is like slapping a politician in the face. Consequences to their action gets their attention.

Well, the question was, what good is a handgun againstan army? Look at the Warsaw Ghetto as an example. The jews trapped inside the ghetto had exactly 6 handguns, so the history goes. They used them to shoot German soldiers and took over their guns and ammo. It would really be interesting to see just how long they would have held out if the Germans had not bombed and shelled the ghetto into rubble. IIRC, while they may have been wiped out, they made it damned costly on the Germans.

Look at what happened to the Russians in Afghanistan when fighting the Muhagadeen (sp) They were doing a pretty fair job of holding their own and we all know how fiercely the Afghans cling to their guns.
Look how the VC forught their guerrilla war aganst us, or how the muzzies are making it difficult for us in Iraq and Afghanistan.

As well armed as the American populace is, they could make "Big Brother" very uncomfortable, possibly enough that he would seek terms, not that I'd trust him any farther than I could pick up an Abrams tank and throw it.

As uncomfortable as the thought of having to do this is, maybe we all should take stock, seriously think about what Obama and his traitorist communist cohorts are doing, and prepare for the worst.

local police/sheriff/marshal
county sheriff/marshal
state police
state game wardens
corrections officers

these are just lazy overweight donut grinders here, cept the wardens and they would have our backs, what your not realizing is if things get bad enough for things to get ugly all those officers you mention are lower/middle class tax payers who are taking the punches right along with us.

I'd like to add that:

WE, the voters, have allowed legislatures to get out of control.

just look at the average legislator in congress now...very, very few have military, let alone combat experience, very few have LEO background, almost everyone of them is worth at least a million dollars (john Kerry was worth nearly two billion as i recall. will he really need a pension and health care from congress when he "retires"?) few if any have to struggle day to day; one term in congress and they have a sizable life time pension with heath care funded by the taxpayer...why would they care about the average "Joe six-pack"? how many years did you have to work before you were able to retire? some folks are NEVER able to retire...

it's odd, but aren't a great number of socialists/Marxists VERY wealthy? Marx, Lenin, Guevara, Castro, Chavez, to name just a few.

i, for one, am totally DISGUSTED with this administration and this congress...

how does it go? our lives and destiny are controlled by three boxes:
the soap box
the ballot box
the ammunition box

[PJgunner]

Don. It's actually four boxes.

1. The soap box.
2. The ballot box.
3. The jury box.
4. The bullet box.

I wonder just how close are we to number ?

1. When do we take our country back?
2. Can we take our country back.
3. Do the sheeple even give a damn?
