USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- The right to keep and bear was written into The Bill of Rights as Amendment #2, but that doesn’t mean people won’t try to violate it. Unfortunately, our fight is against fellow Americans who think they know what is best for everyone. Their fear of what they don’t understand and their lust for government control sends them down a destructive ideological path, which trades individual freedom for passive obedience.
Freedom is embraced by people with a rugged individualism fueled by the desire for growth, prosperity and the will to live life as they see fit. Along with this way of life, comes a strong sense of personal responsibility. When these people make a mistake, they take full responsibility for their failures. When these people succeed, they expect to reap the rewards of their success. These people understand that government was put into place to serve the needs of “the people.” Let’s call these people, Conservatives.
Socialism is embraced by people with a “group-think” mindset fueled by the desire for a structured, government-controlled society. This is the preferred model of people who want to “feel” safe in a world that they may not understand or have the courage to endure. This ideology seems to bring with it, a lack of personal responsibility. “It’s always someone else’s fault.” This is the mindset of people who can trip over their own feet while walking down the sidewalk and find a way to justify suing the business that happens to be there. This is a mindset that embraces “victimhood” and would vote for the politician that promises handouts and college loan forgiveness, even while watching others work hard to pay their own way. These are people who believe it is ok to take from those who earn and give it to those who don’t, under the guise of compassion. Let’s call these people Progressives.
The political Left in America has flirted with the idea of socialism for decades but never admitted it in public, until recently. Some Democrats have jumped on the opportunity to sell the idea of socialism to anyone who might qualify themselves as a “victim” or “entitled.” Not all Democrats are ready to admit their true desires just yet, but a small group of radicals can’t seem to hold back. The old school Democrats know better than to publicly announce their agenda now because they are not ready to seize the moment effectively. The young, foolish radicals are taking a defiant position against their old-school fellow party members as they scream their mission from the mountaintop.
This is a problem for the Democratic party because they know that they must have a few key elements in place before implementing socialism in America.
1. They need more voters.
This is why Democrats abandoned the white, middle class, blue-collar voter and decided to pander to every minority group possible. They have done the math and have figured out that the white, middle-class, Republican/Conservative voter can eventually be out-voted. The formula is simple; befriend all minority groups, and create some if needed, while demonizing white people; but they need an open border to accomplish this. This is also why their position on the border changed so dramatically, overnight. Their motto would be, “we gave you all the benefits of citizenship, now you vote for us,” with the implication that they can always be sent back if they don’t stay loyal. Democrats don’t necessarily want to convert illegals into citizens because they could start voting Republican once they see the truth. They do however, want illegals to have driver’s licenses and voting rights as long as they identify as “Democrats.” They desperately need the votes and President Trump knows it. The “Wall” is primarily for the purpose of denying Democrats the ability to turn illegal aliens into Democrat voters and preserving American freedom for future generations.
They didn’t expect Trump to come along and build a wall.
2. They need dependent citizens.
Democrats have been desperately denying the success of Trump’s economy, while pushing the “doom and gloom” of college debt and the fake-narrative of “big corporations making the ‘little guy’ poor.” Many have lived through college debt, but those who have been conditioned to see themselves as “victims of corporate oppression,” don’t believe they should be required to pay it back. This “entitlement” and “victimhood” breeds dependency. It is very important to Democrats that they keep as many people on the government dole as possible. The Democrat message is, “If you vote for those mean old Republicans, they will make you pay your own way. We will give you everything for free, just vote for us and support our tax increases.”
The economy was supposed to continue it’s Obama-era decline, but Trump fixed it.
3. They need the guns.
The big reason there is such a divide within the Democratic party right now is because the radical “Commie Squad,” consisting of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley and Rashida Tlaib have revealed the Democrat’s true colors too soon. Some would argue that the “new push for gun-control” began in 1994 with the “assault weapons ban” and was intended to work hand-in-hand with the eventual push for socialism. The problem is, they were supposed to wait before actually attacking their fellow Americans with socialism, which is why there is now such a mad rush for “assault-rifle” bans, deadly red flag laws, universal background checks, ammo restrictions and countless other 2nd Amendment violations. Nancy Pelosi and the old-school Democrats are not happy with the young new radicals because they are screwing up the plan.
They were supposed to get the guns first.

@tiger stripe My hats off to you and my sincerest wishes of good luck. I pray you will be able to reach thousands before anything bad comes to pass. That is what brought me here in the first place. I came here to be a teacher of adults, so that they could have the strength to teach others. Please don’t take that as a prideful boast either, I do not mean it to be. My goal from the onset was accountability, and giving men and women who profess to love and adhere to the constitution the strength not to engage… Read more »
@ Revelator Thanks for your response. That’s right about what you wrote about teachers being held accountable by God for what they teach; it also says in Scripture, “They will hate you because of me.” And so I expect that I will be met with hostility at some point. But not by the kids. They hunger for truth – not to be told WHAT to think, but HOW to think. I am on the side of the truth, and so I believe that if I teach with that conviction, and with the humility that I’m just a fallible, puny human,… Read more »
@Tiger Stripe I’ve met more than a few who still had their ego’s busted specifically because they couldn’t admit they were wrong. The only way to make sure you are never wrong is to agree with the truth 100% of the time, even when you personally disagree with it. Like you, I pursue the truth. When the time comes, I will fight no matter what the odds or obstacles. I am as my father made me. I surely hope you are able to get through to some, though I doubt all will choose to follow wisdom. I am an example… Read more »
Ted Nugent: “Folks keep talking about another Civil War. One side knows how to shoot and has a trillion bullets. The other side has crying closets and is confused about which bathroom to use. How do you think that’s going to end?”
They’ve got to disarm us first.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a question for you. Are you here to protect individual liberty and the principles put forth in the Constitution of the United states, or are you here to support mandatory group think through force of violence? We currently have some agitators on ammoland who seem to be itching for violence and believe that those who have different ideas must be killed off, either through battle, ambush, or straight out murder. They label these enemies “Marxists” or “Communists”, but if you look at the actions they are calling for how are they any different than those… Read more »

Can’t lives on won’t street!!! Pick a day, the cities are DC and State Capitols. You will not need 165 million bullets most of the commies will not fight. Besides the easiest trap for most of them are signs saying ” Free Stuff Here! “. They’ll come no big armament needed. It’ll be a crap shoot, literally!
No quarter for traitors, cowards and those with excuses galore. Lets those us with REAL training in Intel, Tactics and Strategy handle the specifics. Trigger pulling DOES NOT make geniuses.
Thank you for demonstrating for everyone here that you WILL NOT be one of the ones handling “The Specifics.”
…and Thank you for letting us know who’ll be eating free chips on the sidelines.; )
@Whitesfyre Again, like an idiot, you reply without thinking. My reputation is too well known here for that laughably stupid comment to stick. Perhaps you would have realized that if you had looked down to see what I wrote to @Wild Bill at 10:59am on the 23rd. Over two hours before you wrote your reply, I was already calling out idiots like yourself. Again, thank you for once more demonstrating for all here that you are most definitely not one of the individuals with REAL TRAINING in intel, tactics, and strategy. If you are so incompetent that you cant even… Read more »
Now my feelings are really, really hurt. Just finish your chips because the the idiot cowards are people like yourself that have bags full of excuses to remain on the sidelines talking shit free and will not act for anything. I just hope you’re not the product of multiple births.
Next you’ll be quoting the GWD. You sound very much like that idiot asshat… or should I say you ‘bendejo’.
Now Whit, If you don’t win, then you are just a murderer. You have to kill bigger than the government to be the new government. That takes a plan, logistics, secure comms, G1-4, command structure. Your opponents have that stuff.
If we do not know how to use all those potential advantages in the video hypothetical, then one can still lose.
@WB: I agree with you to a point. But we must keep in our foremost thoughts that we are everyday losing ground. The Marxists have been allowed to do whatever to whomever they want from the big corps to mindless pissants on the streets. Any warring will be devastating to our nation. The further we go the more assuredly this nation will become one that is totally Marxist and we will have gifted it to them and will have robbed our descendants of a nation based on personal freedoms and inalienable rights. At this moment we maybe able to retain… Read more »
@Whitesfyre Considering I was the guy responsible for making GWD lose his cool and what ultimately led to his being run off. And for your information Wild Bill can back that up. Again, displaying a lack of intel for all to see? Shot yourself in the foot again there. Your attempt to repeat your lie in the hopes that it will be accepted as truth has no bearing. But then again what do you expect from a Mentiroso like you? You toss around the word coward, but you have no meaning. It is only an attempt by a weak willed… Read more »
You are now The Squeakyone to me. Mousy, tiny and leaving scat behind yourself. If you are going to roar be a king and stand up to fight. If not run back to your hole in mommy’s basement.
@whitesfyre Aww poor baby! Can’t handle an argument so now you have to result to yet more ad hominem and tell me to go back to mommy? What a joke. Coming from a coward who cant stand on his own? You gutless, nutless little pipsqueak. You have no idea what standing up to fight is, that is why you talk about ambushing the people you want to murder using a trap! Tell me, did you practice that in front of the mirror while wiping the tears out of your eyes because the big boys aren’t joining your little mob? Grow… Read more »
anyone else have any idea where whitesfyre’s nutsack fell off at?
He needs some serious help finding it. He cant stand and fight on his own without it, which is why he temper tantrums when people don’t join in with him. Find the guy a safety blanket while you are at it too. It’s just so heartbreaking *sob* seeing the little guy scream and pump his fists in the air out of frustration. *sob*
Uh oh. No replies from the Nutless one in the last 9 hours.
Poor little guy might have locked himself in the closet and is unable to figure out how to open the door. At least he’ll feel safe in there.
@Whit, Common now, brother, first you say we won’t need 165 million bullets, then in your next paragraph you say no quarter for traitors. That brings you back to 165 million bullets. But I do like your flash mob idea. Flash mob means a no cell conspiracy. Multi cell conspiracies get noticed. Single cell conspiracies require dead drop techniques, training, a single handler to coordinate and fund. Very old fashion.
Pick a date that Congress is in session. Oh, I almost forgot, how will you handle the Continuation of Government plan?
@Wild Bill
You’re shooting over his head brother. He does not have the intelligence to sort through the nuance of your questioning.
However, while you are goading him on, do not forget that Mob mentalities are just as big a threat to the Bill of Rights. The last thing we need is a Mexican style revolution where group after group has to be put down because it was reliant on Mob mentality and each successor group was just as much a tyrant as the last.
@Rev, I did not mean to goad him on, just think things through. I would not let the Mob be in charge of the planning or putting things back together after the slaughter … just the initial slaughter.
@Wild Bill Thanks for the reassurances, but there is a little bit of history buzzing in my ear about that kind of thinking… “First they came for the Trade Unionists, but I wasn’t one of them….” Remember, the left is currently going through a internal war for that reason precisely. Nancy Pelosi and Chucky Schumer thought that if they got the millennials they were targeting to fall for their BS they would be able to control and direct their energy. Such plots never work out historically, unless like a tyrant you are ready to execute the mob as soon as… Read more »
The reassurance is that you will do nothing. You will however continue to spout useless bull smelling up msg board. As for those marxists that you speak of… they have taking far more action than you or others with leaky mouths or correctly butts.
Put plug in it, stand up for yourself and use hands and feet not your mouth.
@whitesfyre Been looking in the mirror again? Glass does not have odor absorbing properties which is why it is bouncing back in your face. So, your argument now is that two wrongs make a right? Just because they do, so should we? That is the point I have been trying to make about you from the start. And yet again, it is your belief in going out and murdering those you disagree with not mine. If you wanted to provide evidence that you are not a blithering idiot, trying to command me to do your bidding as if you own… Read more »
@Wild Bill
Notice, he has no concept that you just flat out said in his face that you would be using him and then dumping him in the trash after.
This is how I wrecked GWD, by letting his own stupidity and sense of superiority work against him. Let whitesfyre do the same.
@Rev, I have been unclear. What I meant by letting the mob be in charge of the initial slaughter is that there comes a time in the movement to contact technique, that the commander must relinquish control to the troops to use their weapons as they were trained to do. That moment of giving the troops the freedom to fire as they deem fit is the moment of contact … and some period of time after. While the troops are doing their thing the commander is relegated to communicating with his commander, coordinating with his left and right, and hopefully… Read more »
Oh, and by slaughter, I meant victory … big time!
@Wild Bill That is what I was hoping. I did not think you would normally abandon the Constitution for Mob mentality, especially so soon after what happened with your argument with Greg K. Seeing as how @Whitesfyre was in a sense advocating bypassing and infringing on due process rights, it was best to allow you time to clarify your stance on the matter. That is the difference though between what you are professing, and what whitesfyre is. Whitesfyre is calling for torches and pitchforks, while what you and I are trying to do is follow the Constitution. The two are… Read more »
@wjd
Shhhh… Don’t let Whitney hear you call her that. She has very low self esteem on top of her other mental issues.
It has always been about guns as far as the so called democrats are concerned. Yes even under Clinton and Obama. Remember the fundamental transformation and the federal police force just a well trained, funded and equipped as the US Military? No one even asked why a federal police force was going to be suddenly needed after nearly 240 years without the need for one. They just cheered wildly. I guess we all can see the reason now can’t we? It is becoming obvious the anti-gun presidential candidates (which is most of them if not all) are determined to pass… Read more »
AZ Don, You may well be right on many of your points. The political separation is probably headed to a divorce. The Democratic Socialists are a violent lot without question. They may well be able to take over since by sheer number they outdo the conservatives by at least 2:1, and always have. It was generally assumed that 60%+ of the country was Dem. I agree that the Left is far better organized, it’s a result of the conditions of being when you look at the two sides. It’s hard to herd cats, sheep are relatively easy. The part I… Read more »
Freedom has never been free. It comes with the highest of costs. It costs the lives and families of those who serve. Should the day arrive when we are ordered to turn in our firearms, the tree of liberty will have to be refreshed with the bold of tyrants. Make no mistake, socialism/communism/progressivism cannot take hold with the population being armed. This has never truly been about gun control, it was and remains totally about people control. WHEN PEOPLE IN ELECTED OFFICE AND THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO BE IN ELECTED OFFICE, THE JUDICIAL BRANCHES AND THOSE WHO SERVE IN… Read more »
@Deplorable Bill
Excellent work my friend. I have something you may find interesting and wish to spread around. Think of it as a micro documentary for those who understand the Constitution. You talk about preparing, which leads me to believe you are patterning yourself for a defensive action, which is good. That falls in line with the Constitution and our Founding principles. I hope you don’t lose that. So I hope you will give this just under an hour of your time.
Very encouraging vid.
Too encouraging.
Indeed, I brought it up as food for thought. We already know the breakdown of the Military, and past veterans. We already know we own more firearms than Several countries militaries combined. The question will be when the government puts its foot down what the game plan will be. I’m not looking at things with rose colored glasses, if we have to fight to keep our rights and liberty many will die. Idiots like “tetejuan” or “USA” shout and bluster, and they look at what they think is a simple easy solution. They say “Kill em all!” They have eyes… Read more »
Correct title to the book Gun Control, a written record of efforts to eliminate the private possession of firearms in America, or do a search for the book’s author Robert J. Kukla.
A well written article and to the point. Gun Control has nothing to do with criminals, obtaining, possessing, and using firearms illegally. Gun Control only affects the law abiding citizens . Sadly the Democrats and anti gun groups always push for more gun control whenever a tragedy involving a firearm is used and there is a loss of life. They never wait to see what the cause of the shooting was, and they never put any responsibility on the person / persons who actually did the shooting. They lie constantly about issue and facts, yet politicians listen and believe these… Read more »
OK, let me do you a favor. You are spot on in your article and it is well stated. Here are my two bits based upon a couple of Pol Sci degrees gained at far left universities and 45 years of reading what the Left in America really stands for. First hint, you did not once use the term “Progressive” in your article. That tells me that you have not delved in to the original threat to our Declaration and our Constitution. That threat is the Progressive movement of the 19th Century. That movement began with the assumption that you… Read more »
The author very specifically called progress, by name, at the end of the third paragraph.
I agree with you; this is a good article, spot on and well stated.
“called out progressives”
Damned spellchecker!
It was obvious to me
Excellent job of laying out the facts, Mr. Wos. Democrats, since 1904, have sought a socialist/communist America. Woodrow Wilson’s implementation of the Income Tax was the first national enacting of a plank of the Communist Manifesto, “a heavy & progressive graduated income tax.”. Mr. Wos leaves out that Americans, today, are too fat and comfortable to actually oppose any gun confiscation plan. Sure, they all talk tough on the computer, but they would never sacrifice their luxury, their beer & basketball on TV. Across the United States we see Americans kneel and lick the hand of the tyrants as they… Read more »

@SoL, There are too many traitors, socialists, perverts, and hard core unemployable America haters to solve the problem with small arms. If about half the population are the problem, then one would have to shoot 165 million leftists. Who has 165 million bullets?
There are something like 50 million firearm owning families in the US. Probably 5 million of those are what you would call serious shooters. No serious shooter of my acquaintance has fewer than 500 rounds for each gun they own. Even if you only credit those five million with 1,000 round each, that comes to five billion bullets. And in any case progressive leftists are mainly cowards. Even the most violent antifa crowd only protest where the local government constrains the police from arresting them, and never stage one of their violent protests anywhere that concealed carry is common. It’s… Read more »
@UL, If I understand you correctly, the answer to “Who has 165 million bullets?” is … no one. It would take the concurrence and coordination of five million unacquainted families. How will you co-ordinate that? Who provides the supper for those?
I don’t think that one incidence of antifa overreach (or even a dozen) will get people to set aside their work, families, and lives and join in a revolution.
Getting rid of 165 million unredeemables is beyond the ability of small arms.
You guys are overlooking the logistics of a civil war 2.0!! The Left are all crammed into the cities where they feel empowered. Cities are separated by miles and miles of rural territory (GOP Red territory). The means of production (Food, energy, etc.) and the arteries of resource delivery are primarily located in the GOP Red territories, NOT the ‘blue zones’. It would be child’s play to cut off the cities from all of the things cities need to survive. All we have to do is keep the libtard hordes penned up in the cities, and shoot anyone who tries… Read more »
@W Bill, Lining em up single file with a .50 would probably speed things up a bit and save on ammo.
Don’t forget, the war to kick the king out of America was actively waged by some three percent of the total population at the time. Sure, when General Gates launched his little foray to disarm the people of Concord and arrest two of the most vocal and staunch promoters of liberty, overnight some 14,000 armed and trained colonial militia were deployed to “see what we could do” to stop Gage. He lost a LOT of hisofficers that day, and had his opinion of the colonials seriously modified. Yes the vast majority are too lazy to investigate the candidates and new… Read more »

Stop snivelling, Mild Bill. STAND UP.
@SoL, Ok, you have the first formation, and we will have a coordination meeting. How about 26 July? Where do you live?
Your yellow cowardice makes me puke.
I organize every week. I train and instruct on firearms. I teach the Constitution and I am a disabled veteran.
All you is talk tough through a yellow belly and soft spine.
You do not help the cause of freedom, you just make things stink.
Mild Bill, cowardice becomes you.
Don’t be sour just because the civilian militia isn’t marching yet. Anyone who lusts for war has not truly seen the horrors it will bring. From what I observe, patriots are being goaded into action to demonize them. Any lone patriot will be labeled a domestic terrorist and extremest. While things are close to show time, we must exercise extreme caution and not fall into the trap laid before us. There are still peaceful means of discord for us to pursue. However when all avenues have been suttered there will be violence that has not been seen in an age… Read more »
@ttj, Ok, we will have the first formation of the revolution at your house, then. Lets have a coordination meeting, what is your address?
@Wild Bill and @Son of Liberty Sadly, the mentally disabled vet is angry that his call to mob mentality is being rejected here. That is why he is raging.. He does not understand the constitution, and cannot ever teach it for a very simple reason. What he is calling for is the extermination of a difference of thought, that if someone thinks a certain way they should be executed for that reason alone. Last time I checked, The Constitution and the Bill of Rights did not exclude those people, or limit rights such as freedom of speech to mean as… Read more »
@tetejuan, you might want to take your fingers off the keyboard and sit on them for a bit until you get to areally KNOW, Wild Bill a bit better because knowing him as many of us do? You’re making yourself look like one foolish dumbass!
@USMC That was what I was thinking when I read tete’s post. He is a practicing member of the open mouth, insert foot crowd and if he had spent any time on this forum he would know that Wild Bill is a respected individual that is retired from the military. Bill was just pulling information from him, or trying to. Amazing how some come here and immediately attack someone else. I think they are known as fools.
@USMC and Tcat, Thank you both. I am mindful of the saying, “Amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics.”

This has always been the goal,the Democrats/Commiecrats have to disarm “We The People” before they can force Communism down the throats of the American people,why any thinking reasoning American would entertain a conversation or voting for a un American Demoncrat/Commicrat is beyond reason as they from the start are disingenuous.
