Many of you know this one.
A New Bull
You either come out strong and fight, or you are left with making concessions and forced to live with the crumbs of freedom they allow you to keep. The state and federal government consider those that make concessions and not fight good citizen minions. Peasant subjects of the powerful oligarchy that promises protection and safety in exchange for your treasure (liberty & freedom), and loyalty.
Call me crazy, but I lived my entire combat leader career believing freedom was not only worth defending, it is worth fighting and dying for. Now I find the biggest threat to the people is the government. It is an eternal truth that the greatest threat to a nation is never an external enemy: It is the people themselves, especially when they are armed. Benevolent heads of state do not fear their citizens. It is only the corrupt that live in fear of their citizens and they are the first to demand disarmament "for the safety of the people".
I am still that guy. The supposed crazy one that actually values my freedom and liberty and I get a bit upset when our corrupt leaders call me a threat to society because of what my gun looks like. I can never forget that the DHS had a profile that fit me perfectly as a potential domestic terrorist for the following reasons:
1. Returning combat leader
2. Constitutional ideologue (Kind of a job requirement when you are a serviceman)
3. Not happy with current direction of government
4. Owns guns
No tinfoil here. They came out and stated it in writing that I have a copy of.
Many folks have no fight in them as they see freedom and liberty as not worth fighting for. The fact remains that even these folks will fight, but not until the fight comes to their door. By then it is far too late and they have nothing left to defend and fight with.
This is the history of human nature playing out time and time again and yet we know what happened to the disarmed but think it will be different for us?
Growing up it was drilled into me by my father and then by the military: God, Guns, & Guts are the key principles of a free nation. Now I find that all of these principles are considered evil and intolerant. This has been an interesting state to live in. What does it take for gun owning residents to organize and stand up to be counted as at least "present" but against this tyranny? Do they have to be at your door with a list and a warrant having found your guns to be illegal or just to perform a safety compliance visit "for the good of the community"?
Did you know that in the DoD Extremism Awareness Training that they state Colonists were also violent extremist ideologues that eventually took up arms? I could not believe they were framing them as a threat in their day and that military personnel need to look out for any of the same!
The same document list the Southern Poverty Law Center as a primary source and reference for material in the presentation. They tie militias to white supremacy at every opportunity and present the narrative that all militias are racist havens for white supremacy. They listed Three Percenters and Oath Keepers as well because they are on the SPLC list of hate groups along with many evangelical pastors (preach against the sin of homosexuality).
For every statement I have made above, I have the official source documents that are highlighted in full context. If you want to know who the enemy is they are targeting, look in the mirror and to your left and right. Again, an armed citizenry is a problem for any corrupt government and they will actively attempt to disarm us. If they can't take the guns, they will regulate the ammo and apply onerous regulatory burdens regarding how you can keep your firearms. You all know this, yet MANY still see no reason to stand and be counted out of fear of being noticed. The main excuse is "we are a minority in the state and the current majority will never change so why try? Every time we speak up, they take even more of our rights away." If this is the prevailing attitude, then we have lost and it is only a matter of time before you are relegated to air rifles and muskets.

Even our victories are merely a slowing down of the process, they just spam and stack the ballot and senate vote and it will just get passed the next go-around. It's an uphill battle politically at every level and every position of the state gov is against us, whether it's certain LEO's, Dept Chiefs & Sheriffs, Judicial, Senators & Assemblymen, et al.
Legal Public disobedience on a mass scale seems the most legally feasible and the most likely to garner sympathy, but we as gun owners refuse to (or for whatever reason, can't) unite in the face of this adversity.
