A False Alternative


No, you from "The Winning Team" may end up registering your guns, and you may even aid and abet the enemy in encouraging your countrymen to turn themselves in.

And what next?

What will you do when they order you to get their permission to own your registered guns in the form of paid licenses with arbitrary and mutable qualifying standards?

What will you do when they tell you that your license application has been rejected, that your registered guns have been banned, that you must turn them in or face arrest and imprisonment?

We know what "The Winning Team's" answer is: Surrender them, like "any honest, law-abiding American would do."

So register to vote and then do what?

Vote McCain?

You go right ahead if you want to. I'm sure some can even convince themselves they're being fierce and pragmatic freedom fighters doing so.

I'm taking a different route. If more did, we wouldn't even be having this discussion.

I will not register.

I will lose my rights only if I surrender them.

And I will not disarm.

I'll leave that to the men with nice offices and thousand dollar suits who have convinced so many followers that they are their leaders.

Shriek hysterically about losing and then stampede the cattle.

Let them lead, that is, herd you to surrender. I want no part of it and will lead myself.

I always chuckle when folks from the grabby camp wail and thrash about the evilness of the NRA. If anything, the NRA has been as complicit in usurping the protection of our rights than any other grabby group - at least over the past ten years or so.

I'll do no such thing,either.
Enough is enough, all the rest can bow and cower.

It may be taken completely out of our hands. Just substitute "America" for "Esau" and "Edom" and it fits like a glove.

The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD. If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes? How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up! All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him. Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau? (Obadiah 3-8)

When it breaks apart, my prayer is that I am in one of the parts that is still free. If not, at least I will get go home sooner than I thought.

I won't register my guns. I won't turn them in when some would-be ruler passes a law against them.

The NRA is in bed with the government and - as far as I can tell - always has been. Screw the NRA.

Register to vote? For who? There isn't a person in this bogus race I wouldn't rather...well, I can't say that, can I. Let's just say I've already cast my vote for None Of The Above. On voting day I'll find more important things to do than go along with the joke. The thing that pisses me off about that is that my non-participation will be reported as "indifference." I am anything but indifferent.
