Ft Collins, CO –-(Ammoland.com)- “Stupidity is the same as evil, when you judge by the results.” ~ Margaret Atwood
Deadly Islamic terrorists attacks upon the innocent are now weekly occurrences within the UK and Europe, and terrorists show no sign of relenting.
In the latest version, terrorists first ran down hapless pedestrians in a busy part of London. Then, armed with knives, they exited their van, slashing, stabbing, and kicking the injured who were trying to limp and crawl away!
Terrorists then entered adjacent restaurants and attacked anyone they could.
Seven fatalities and seven times that number injured.
Three Islamic terrorists where ultimately shot to death by police. They were wearing explosive “suicide belts,” which were eventually determined to be fake.
Response time for armed police units was “officially calculated” at eight minutes. By the time they arrived, much carnage had already been performed. Lethal gunfire from police likely prevented more.
UK’s Prime Minister was rightly proud of her police’s deadly answer to active terrorist murderers, and indicated that the eight-minute response in this case was pretty respectable.
Sadly, what she is really saying is that eight minutes is about as good as it’s ever going to get! And, during that eight (or more) minutes, terrorized, unarmed, and castrated UK citizens are on their own!
In refreshing contrast, Czech Republic President Milos Zeman urged his citizens to arm themselves and to be prepared to efficaciously confront the coming “Muslim holocaust.”
I only wish DJT would say something similar!
Interesting that the Czech Republic, unlike the UK, has not unconditionally thrown open its arms to every “refugee” who wants to enter the country. Even so, gun sales in the Czech Republic are currently off the chart.
Predictably, socialists, who rule most of Europe and, until recently, the USA will react to steadily increasing Islamic terrorism by punishing all the people who don’t commit crimes, while simultaneously leaving them defenseless! Socialist politicians, without fail, will suffocate individual freedom, as they take extraordinary steps to protect themselves.
Islamics are just getting started! They smell weakness, stupidity, and lack of resolve in the West.
Many among the innocent will perish in coming months and years.
It won’t get better any time soon, probably not within our lifetimes.
As individuals, we have to face facts and make tough choices. There is scant “protection” upon which you can bet your life. You’re an Operator, or a VBC (victim by choice). “Middle ground” has vanished. The world will never be “like it was” again.

Anti-sharia law marches going on across the country, today. Had I known I would have gone. If moslems are empowered to create their own courts and create their own law, then why can’t I form my own court and apply my own law? Ranch law, yeah… that’s the ticket. The Short and Sweet Ranch Court!
We are living in the wrong country when others are more willing to trust and allow their citizens to be armed for protection.

Great article John. I always read my daily ( Ammoland ), articles after I’ve read the daily news. The leftist news is so depressing, I must read Ammoland to remember I’m not alone. The left will never relent in their insanity. As an Oathkeeper, I’m in no quandary about where I stand. But, it’s good to touch base with other like minded deplorable, law abiding, true believers. I was thinking today, about all the firearms the American People donated to the British Citizenry during WWll. To my knowledge they were destroyed in the years following victory. I would love to… Read more »
While speaking in Australia recently, Secretary of Defense Mattis commented that Americans would not be frightened by Islamic terror attacks. Mad Dog’s comments reminded me of something I learned about terrorism long ago, during my days in Viet Nam; that is, that terrorism works differently on different kinds of populations. When unarmed civilians (by definition, the usual target of terrorists) were subjected to terrorist attacks, they behaved by becoming afraid and generally acquiescing to the terrorist’s desires. That’s what appears to be happening in Europe today. The effect on armed troops however, was dramatically different. WE more typically responded by… Read more »
I read somewhere years ago that a pistol carry permit in the Czech Republic cost the equivalent of about $.50
The stupidity of the “we must show them love” crowd will almost guarantee an increase in muslim terror. Living on the back side of a mountain, and a long way from other humans, my immediate need for protection is more natural as in bears and coyotes. My 911 time from call to presence of a cop is a little over an hour, sometimes shorter. Should I give up my means of protection so that someone, in the middle of the night, can break into my home? Should I just ask them to sit down and talk about how there is… Read more »
A number of years ago, a Soviet Premier, Nikita Khrushchev stated that the United States would be destroyed from within. As we watch different elements from the former Democrat (now Communist) Party and all of the Soros’ sponsored groups like Black Lives Matter, etc. run rampant across our landscape, it appears that Khrushchev’s words are beginning to ring true. I can only hope that that people will wake up and begin to demand that the politicians either start doing their jobs or get the Hell off the public stage (without any perks). Our Nation can only take so much one-sided… Read more »
It should be noted that too many in this country those that ignore the precious gift given them by their birth in this land of self determination and DON”T VOTE. As disconcerting are those that have the guaranteed right to armed self protection and do not exercise that right.
Much like a muscle left unused, the ability for self determination can atrophy.
The Czech Republic president is a wise man. Farnam wraps it up by saying, ” The World will never be, like it was, again. Sad, but so true.
Actually, DJT did say, during his election campaign, that law-abiding citizens should be better armed so as to assist in their own defense against terrorism and other evil.
