OUR COUNTRY NEEDS IT …
Rallies in Washington, D.C. are a dime a dozen … and of debatable import (and impact). But there has never been a more critical time than right now for American citizens to take to the streets of their nation’s capital.
Via a yet-to-be-determined hybrid of legislative and executive action, the administration of U.S. President Barack Obama is declaring a “War on Guns” in America – even as reams of government data conclusively demonstrates elevated levels of gun ownership result in lower levels of violent crime.
Don’t expect government to let facts get in the way of exploiting a tragedy, though … and don’t expect our nation’s bought-and-paid for legacy media to do anything other than serve as a willing accomplice in this exploitation. Why not? Because this has nothing to do with preventing school shootings – or making our country safer.
Just look at Obama’s hometown of Chicago for proof of that …
No, this is about one thing (and one thing only): Reducing the power of the people to fight back against an increasingly oppressive (and fiscally unsustainable) government.
That’s why we support recent calls for a “Million Gun March” on Washington, D.C. Now more than ever our nation’s “leaders” need to be reminded of two things: 1) We have an inalienable right to bear arms, and 2) We will use those arms to preserve that right.

It would be an interesting irony to see a million gun toting citizen gathered at the Lincoln Memorial, overlooking the national mall.
That’s something I’d like to see.
I’m not sure I’d attend, but I’d certainly grab a bag of popcorn and watch it on TV.
Men women and children. Forget “million” – get 3 million! I have some other ideas, but need to think about them.
Something tells me the children should stay at home….
You could end up having Kent State x 500,000
Went to a gun show recently.
One of the oddest, strangest, obviously medicated for something guys I have ever met (wearing a “I feel your pain…and I like it” t-shirt) and I were ogling a Barret .50 Caliber.
The sales guy sees Lou-the-Medicated in his Pony Tail and me in my “nice house” outfit, and says to ME “you can walk out of here right now if you got a driver license and $$$”
Lou-the-Medicated asks “you dont have to have no ATF license”
Joe-sales-guy says “this aint China…”
Lou looks at me and says, “How in the hell can you sell fucking canons like that to any fucktard that walks off the fucking street without some goddamn common sense information collection…I mean, that thing can knock out a fucking Brinks truck, wouldn’t you want to know who has one”.
THEN Lou-the-maybe-more-reasonable-than-I-origninally-thought turned around, grabbed all three of his assault rifles, and stomped off.
Joe-sales-guy says “want me to wrap this thing…”
So, if a guy with less teeth than guns thinks there might be a problem. Well, maybe there might be a problem.
Did you bother to find out the cost, or pick it up, Zobro? It’s not exactly cheap, and rather unwieldy. They also aren’t used in crime. So, what’s the problem?
Novel idea…what happens if there is an “accidental discharge” from an anti-2nd amendment “infiltrator”?
Will, are you trying to reconnect with Lexington County or something? Those inbreds are gonna be all over this like Jakie on a prostitute…
Choose sides wisely. I believe I would take the “inbreds” over the hood rats any day, yaaaasuh!
This shit is getting out of hand…….
I was on a military marksman team shooting a rack grade M-9 & M-16 with iron sights (Winston P. Wilson rules – combat pistol/rifle competition) from 1999 – 2010(I got paid to shoot on drill weekends and active duty days during state/national competition). Not counting the other times in my 25 year military career I carried/wore/used small arms in both training and actual combat zones.
I also competed in practical shooting association civilian matches (again stock pistols – not modified “Zip” guns – some of you will know what I’m talking about) to stay in practice for my military matches.
I have been hunting/killing game since I was a kid.
I post none of this to “toot my horn’ but to give some background.
I say “competed” because since the bullshit hysteria that has occurred since Obama got elected (and who I have NEVER voted for) in 2008 is just plain nonsense. All it has done is drive up the price of ammunition and firearms because of dumbshits hoarding both. The price of ammunition has gone through the roof since 2008 so I don’t practice like I used to on my own. Even in the military, practice 9mm ammo got scarce due to the iraq/Afghan wars (of which I was a part of) and the hoarding by dipshits referenced above.
The Greer Police Department reported last week that their practice ammunition was in short supply and they could not get the ammo they need due to the high demand caused by dipshit hysterical hoarding. They have enough for duty ammo but that’s all. Their proficciency is at risk due to dumbshit hoarding of ammo.
I reload my revolver and rifle ammo but again due to the fucking hysteria by dumbshits, primers are damn near impossible to get at the moment so agian, it’s not easy to get the ammo I need to compete in local civilian matches.
No, I won’t go to Washington or participate in any 2nd. Amendment “gatherings” because I know a great number of those who would attend such a rally are the dumbasses who have caused this fuck-up and have made it hard for the rest of us.
Remember every box of ammo you buy is taxed by Uncle Sam so all you are doing is sending more money to the Feds who some of you seem to hate so much.
Kinda ironic ain’t it???
There I said it………
Then tell your lord and master-god Obama to STFU….
He’s pushing the issue…while the FT. Hood Shooter has STILL NOT been tried..and Obama is calling this Jihaists a Work-place shooter…
YOU ARE the F*#!in Problem…so quit Whinging you Brain-Dead…Blow-Hard @$$-wipe….
BigT(or your alter-ego in hiding):
Go diddle yourself………..
Big T = Chicken Hawk
There you go, Sparkle – you are in the thinking mode. The question in my mind is, what type of folks would actually show up in DC, if this came about.
Having screwballs (and I use this term to avoid derogatory terms) show up would only help potus in his agenda and do damage to the rights of citizens who think and act responsibly.
What would happen: marchers filmed, identified and investigated, and probably stored in a special data bank for future reference===
Nothing good could come out of any “march” – the hype is for “sucker bait.”
Shifty;
Not just in the thinking mode but I am posting on what has ACTUALLY happened since 2008
Irrational dumbshits have caused this the price of ammonution to go sky high. It had started to go down a bit but since the tragedy in Connecuit, it has gone ballistic (so to speak).
There is simply no reason for this hysteria.
I thought right wing types delt in facts not emotion.
Just goes to show you that they are no better than left wing types when it comes to emotion-driven situations. And that is this is what its about…irrational fears, unfounded rumors fueled by the internet/right-wing ENTERTAINMENT RADIO and hysteria
Thanks a lot you dickheads. 9mm 115 grain factory ammo was $4.99/50 round box at Dick’s till you fuckwads got it in your thick skulls that Obama was going to take your toys away.
Now it’s around $12/50 round box (if you can find it that is……….)
Thanks a lot you irrational jerk-offs.
All it has done is drive up the price of ammunition and firearms because of dumbshits hoarding both.
A good thing, too, because all those conspiracy theories about the draconian gun laws Obama was going to force on everyone, including forcible confiscation of guns, totally came true!
Oh, wait.
At least this time Obama actually expressed an interest in pursuing gun control laws, although what he’s nodded to is shit Clinton signed into law before.
Aha, I think we know each other which probably explains why I agree with most everything you post. I knew you were good people.
“All it has done is drive up the price of ammunition and firearms because of dumbshits hoarding both. The price of ammunition has gone through the roof since 2008”
Hahahaha! Capitalism, how does it work?
So ammunition costing more is a problem…but Dumb@$$#$ like you give us an idiot in the White House who costs us thousands per family in extra gas prices, decreasing salaries, more taxes and he F%^&ed the HealthCare system…
You are one Stupid Son of a B!&ch to whine about ammo prices, while you bend over and let your lord-master Rape you so he can live the high life w/o ever working….
Capitalism?
Like shit in this case due to irrational dumb shit hoarders who are afraid of everything.
You could throw in some “capitalistic” price manulipation while you are at it.
When was the last time you saw 9mm ammo at $4.99 per 50 round box???
Kind of around October 2008 if I recall correctly…….
If not for the irrational dickheads it would probably still be around $5 per 50 round box.
You can’t blame the feds for this one fucking bit I can tell you that.
Are you fucking kidding me? A million paranoid, redneck knuckleheads getting whipped up into a frenzy by the NRA/gun manufacturers lobby? That’s a train wreck getting ready to happen. Wonder how many have ever set foot on a real (not Civil War reenactment) battlefield? Wonder how many want to keep their AK’s so they can be part of “a well regulated militia” (Moose lodge meetings don’t count).
My guess, not many.
I’m with ? up there. Give me a bag of popcorn to watch the show. Just don’t put me on the front row because I’m sure those fuckers shoot about as straight as the tubing they use to cook their meth.
Gotta go easy on the Moose(‘s??)
They let me hang out at their Titusville,Florida lodge to watch the final shuttle launch (I’m not a “Moose”)best non-government launch view place ever!!.
I will be forever grateful to their hospitality. I tipped their bartenders HEAVILY!!
Lord, could those “Moose” drink!!!
well spoken !
Rednecks, all of them
One more thing, read the fucking thing:
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Southman3;
I’m with you
BUT…………..
I’ve studied/researched the “regulated militia” matter some and even Constitutional scholars can’t really agree on what actually constitutes a “well regulated militia”. I like you and most REASONABLE people feel it refers to the national guard and state guard (of which FITS recently blogged about the head of the SC STATE Guard). Personally, I don’t have too much faith in the STATE Guard (NOT the SC NATIONAL Guard)protecting dams,bridges and other things in the state of SC if the balloon goes up.
Some articles I have read basically refer to attending a meeting and kinda sorta “mustering” which is basically how some of these private “militias” got started a number of years back and are having some resurgence at present. I have absolutely no faith that these misguided types will be much help to anybody except themselves and would foster a warlord type of society in this country if the shit really does hit the fan.
And again, I didn’t vote for Obama one fucking time but it won’t be because of him is shit BS sadly comes to pass.
Which I hope and pray it never happens.
Too many have give the ultimate price for REAL freedom to let “them that have the biggest gun” rule the day.
Mark my words:
That Glock,Ruger,S&W, or Mossberg ain’t worth a shit against even an up-armored Humvee let along an AH-64 or AC-130
These 2nd amendment zelot types are sadly misguided.
Another thing.
When I was researching the “regulated militia’ subject, I read that during the War of 1812, the “militias” defending the US were so inept that they were considered of hardly any use and we damn near lost this country because we relied on their sorry asses in time of an emergency.
That is one of the primary reasons this country decided to have a core of professional military and establish the Service Academies.
As for me, I’m all for bring back the draft (both men & women).
Either two years of civilian service or 3 years of military service with more benefits for those serving in the military (like the present “Post 9/11” GI bill)
Sparklecity how have those HUMVEES, jets, and attack choppers worked out in Afghanistan? Isn’t our military more supreme then the entire Middle East? Yet those guerrilla fighters still have us in a dragged out war that we can’t win.
Gen.Lee:
That’s because the we have not unleashed TOTAL HELL upon the populace. It’s basically Vietnam without alcohol,drugs or hookers in a mideval environment. We can make the rocks bounce higher all day long by bombing if we want to.
Plus those are Afghans who have lived a hard scrabble existance for generations while most of these “from my cold dead hands” types whine the first time gas goes up or call Duke Power at the first sign of an electrical outage.
“Cold dead hands” types ain’t got the guts for a good toe-to-toe.
I truly pray that scenero NEVER comes to pass. You “From My cold dead hands” types descendents will curse your names if it were to come to pass.
So what you’re saying, SC, is that we are not willing to unleash”TOTAL HELL” on folks we have virtually no relation to a few thousand miles away, but we will do so against our fellow citizens, in our own back yard? Yeah, that makes perfect sense. You sound like the type who would set his dog on fire to get rid of some fleas.
Not at all. GL (I won’t even besmirch “Marsh” Robert’s name by allowing someone else to try to utilize his great name) was just asking how come we have not “pacified” Afghanistan. “Pacifying” Afghanistan is as futile as “pacifying” South Vietnam was. UNLESS you are willing to commit the resources and man/woman power to occupy the region for at least 1-2 generations (~25-50 years) and the only successful mission of that sort that I am aware of is Northern Ireland (which is tenious at best but is holding for now anyway…)That being said,comparing N.Ireland to the Asian situations is like comparing apples to oranges. They’ve got SOME sense in N. Ireland. Can’t say the same for SW Asia and the Middle East in general.
Part of getting the indegenious population to “see the light” could possibly require unleashing TOTAL HELL on the groups who don’t follow the program. Biological,gas,napalm, food/resource denial, etc. whatever it takes.
If you can’t go the whole way, don’t go at all…..
If you don’t believe me, look at the heroic Hungarians who tried to rebel against the Soviets in ~1958. Their small arms didn’t do squat against Russian tanks and other armored vehicles and infantry in an urban environment. The Soviets were ruthless and succeeded is queling the rebellion. The United States and other western powers stood by while the Hungarian freedom fighters pleaded for assistance, even sending out coordinates for drop zones but sadly noone came to help them.
It’s all true history but some of you revisionist won’t believe a word of truth.
Then I guess you answered a question that really wasn’t asked. It seemed clear to me he was questioning your statement regarding civilian disarmament, and how you felt the civilians would not stand a chance. He referenced Afghanistan merely as an example of how superior firepower and technology does not guarantee an easy path to victory. He wasn’t actually concerened, as far as I could tell, with why things were not going better in Afghanistan.
However, you did go on in your missive to discuss the concept of Americans opposing confiscation. You even compared the Afghan fighters with what you imagine would be the folks opposing confiscation here.
You do realize that quite a few of the folks here who might oppose confiscation are veterans, right? They have plenty of training, and plenty of experience. I just don’t think you really understand the issue, and are evading the fact that you presented unsupported garbage.
So, no need for repeating what many have already said about our experiences in SEA or Afghanistan. The hypothetical situation being discussed is not even remotely comperable to either of those experiences.
Now, if we can just get someone to fire the first shot . . .
Now that I think about, their aim may not be good enough to hit one another, as bath salts do affect the senses.
I’ll go..and I DARE some of you Loud-mouthed 2nd Amendment opponents to show up to TAKE my Gun from me…
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE…..Pretty please…I’m BEGGING you…
You stupid fucking redneck
Thank you, ceili. Hatred from a Leftwing, anti-American NAZI, like you, is very HIGH Praise…
Don’t worry, When the baloon goes up, I’ll be on the first black helicopter or UN white armored vehicle to come and round up your sorry ass.
Resist,please,please put up a resistance!!!
You’ll make my day!!!
You’ll know it’s me because I’ll be wearing my blue beret!!
You do know we’ve got a list of tag numbers of every car in a gun shop/prepper store parking lot and GPS’ed every house flying a “don’t tread on me”,upside down US flag or the “Stars & Bars” don’t you?
Won’t take us long at all…………
Belgin FN’s,French Exocets & Chinese “silkworms” will rule the day!!!
Big T = Chicken Hawk
That would be a disaster. Not enough jail space in DC to hold all the idiots who would get arrested for walking around with a gun on The Mall. Here’s a better idea. Why don’t they hold it in Newberry. Lots of open space there.
Well, there you go.
I rest my case.
Please do, Biggs…but how’s your fat, poor ass getting there? You going to ride your lawn mower? I’d bet you wouldn’t be alone…
Are you threatening violence against our leaders ? Not very smart, FITS
Yeah: FITS…next celidh and the Lesftist NAZIs will come for your FIRST Amedndment Rights, like they are doing to you 2nd Amendment Rights…Can’t have Speech, if obama don’t like it…
NOTHING will be Legal when these Obama Idiots get finished…
Warning, Warning: Nazi Fetish in effect.
BigT, I just read over a dozen different news sites and did not find your moniker named anywhere. Slow down and stop bringing attention to yourself. You are the exact type of person potus wants to react to his statements. You will only help him further his agenda. You weren’t chosen by potus out of a phone book for personal attention. I understand the responsible points you make, but don’t fall into the trap.
My comments are based on the assumption that BigT is not a “plant” sent from BigSis.
Another bullshit reaction to a false notion. He is not going to take away your guns, nor can he.
But if you and others march your ass around with real or fake guns in rallies, then public opinion will get worse and worse.
So go ahead, be your own enemy.
F^&*k you and public opinion…
The public elected that Crass Piece of $#!* back to the White house…while you Told us to Be Quiet and be Terrifed of Public opinion before he was elected…
PS: Dumb@$$#$ Cowards like you are the enemy…
Public opinion does matter, because it influences government. If the public moves towards more legislation, it will happen.
Stand up and throw your chest out if you want, but you will only egg the others on.
I have a gun, but you won’t see me marching. I know that normal gun ownership is not under attack.
Yeah: Cower, and let the media and Obama take your speech…
In the end, you’ll just be a Coward….just like you are now…
Why don’t all of the idiots that feel the need to shoot Bushmasters join the service and be a part of the militia?
Obmma is defunding the military, dumb@$$….He needs the money to buy Obama-phones, Food stamps and Green energy jobs…
Are you that F&*@in Ignorant???…Don’t Answer…
I’d like to see what kind of weapons she’s concealing in that red top!
Twin guns would be my guess………
Dual weilding, akimbo….
Anyone notice how the “babe” in the pic is holding that “assault” (there I SAID it) rifle (which suspiciously looks like a “dummy’ practice M16 with photoshopped lettering) WRONG??
Our well-endowed beauty is holding her right hand UNDER the shoulder stock to grip the pistolstyle grip and her left hand is way forward of the front stock (damn near holding the front by the front sight). Having your right hand UNDER the shoulder stock to grip the pistol-style grip makes it virtually impossible to raise and aim/shoot the damn thing (if it was a REAL weapon – which again I think it ain’t)
I’ll cut ‘ol FITS some slack this time cause he lets me rant on his site………………
Wanna shoot for a few Hefe-Weizen’s FITS???
That’s a bit ridiculous considering the battery of gun control laws being presented, i.e. shit we’ve had in place before being reinstated. As dumb as some of it is, it doesn’t even dip an entire toe into the amount of fear mongering the NRA and others are trying to pretend it is.
There are a ton of better reasons to march on D.C. than being against putting the assault weapons ban back in place. All this talk of a million gun-toting angry people needing to walk around our nation’s capital and having to use guns against the government if they try to “take yer guns” is tin foil hat bullshit.
Well said “Smirks”
I can only add this:
SUPPORT THE RIGHT TO ARM BEARS!!!!!!
REPEAL THE 2ND AMENDMENT NOW!!
yes, darksied, it’s much easier to take one’s 1st amendment rights when they have already lost their second amendment rights…
what if obama issues an eo outlawing the grisly practice of baby murder/abortion? after all, what’s so dangerous about an unarmed, innocent, helpless baby that causes Americans to kill so many each year? (with taxpayer’s money, of course)
Remember when that NRA bigwig blurted out his opinion that 1st Amendment rights might well be limited or suspended? He didn’t consider THEM all that sacred. Somebody he didn’t like was protesting too much for his preference. It showed how mech he really valued constitutional rights. Not much.
No, SSFH, I don’t remember. When was that, and who said it? What was the context? Please offer some details, as it sounds like it really made quite an impact on you.
Classic FITS – always stuck on stupid – the epitome of the backasswards inbred southerner.
FITS – you really ought to stick to those zillions of stories that you’ve penned on the imminent indictment of Governor Haley.
And of course the usual little gang of FITS SuckUps rushing to cheer FITS on – stupidity breeds stupidity.
I predict that FITS’ next move will be to join the Truther Nuts who are now saying that the Tragedy at Sandy Hook was all a hoax and ploy for “Obama to get your guns” – come on FITS, don’t disappoint – and you know your little Gang of SuckUps are chomping at the bit for you to post that crap . . .
Marchers …. do not fall for this government ruse!!!
Inside sources indicate that as soon as marchers have entered the District of Columbia, where they will be under Federal Jurisdiction, electrified fences will emerge from the ground encircling the freedom fighters. Any surviving freedom fighers that aren’t killed under the cloak of night will be whisked to secret CIA torture camps outside the country to be brain washed. Once the mind control actions are completed, these govbots will be released back to their home towns to spread their indoctrinated message to obey the tyranny of the Central Gov’t.
If you do go, be sure your weapons are locked and loaded and stay ever vigilant my brave freedom fighter friends.
Everyone bitches about it being dark, but no one wants to get up and change the bulb.
“A Bushmaster In Every Kindergarten”
Festus, you git Granny.
I’ll git my “nephew-son.”
Git Earline off her fanny
And to Walmart: BUY A GUN!
He’s taxin’ white folks’ riches,

He don’t wear saggin’ britches.
But he’s just a thug to me.
Feds took away to-bakker;
And likker from a still.
They’ll make us buy Barack-care.
Put sister on the pill.
Feds made us sit together
In thee-ayters and in bars,
Then loosened up the credit.
Now “they” drive in fancy cars.
If Feds take away my freedom,
Will they leave me only one?
Religion, speech? Don’t need ’em–
