Does America Need to Build New Misprison Prisons?

You may have heard about the BHO administration regime’s expanded “Insider Threat Program,” which amplifies Executive Order 13587, published back in 2011. After a brief flurry of media attention earlier this month, this has been thoroughly soft-pedaled. (“Nothing to see here, move along.”) But these new policies have been laid down and the penalties for noncompliance have been established. Without an act of Congress, these policies are now effective. Rather than re-hash the details, I will quote the first part of a well-written McClatchy News Service article: “In an initiative aimed at rooting out future leakers and other security violators, President Barack Obama has ordered federal employees to report suspicious actions of their colleagues based on behavioral profiling techniques that are not scientifically proven to work, according to experts and government documents. The techniques are a key pillar of the Insider Threat Program, an unprecedented government-wide crackdown under which millions…




Why Civilian Disarmament in the U.S. is Just a Statist Fantasy

…registration scheme. Americans are quite independent by nature and are unlikely to comply with any universal registration edict. Consider the recent experience in Germany, where a new national registry logged in only 5.5 million guns, while 17 million guns remain un-papered in the hands of refuseniks. Now, if this happened in Germany–where the populace is famous for being sticklers to most laws (except on the autobahnen)–can you imagine the result if this were attempted in the United States? To call it massive noncompliance would be putting it mildly. The bottom line: Be vigilant and vocal with our elected officials about any proposed legislation, but don’t worry too much about the police ever going door to door, looking for unregistered guns. If this were attempted, they wouldn’t get very far. I can predict that if Eric Holder ever wants to turn his fantasies of disarming the American people into reality, then…




Notes from JWR:

A slim majority of the congresscritters voted late on a Sunday night to pass the ill-conceived socialized healthcare legislation package into law, despite a huge public outcry. (And contravening the long-established rules whereby conference committees must create identical legislation for both the House and Senate.) So they shouldn’t be surprised when We The People will find them no longer fit to represent us. I anticipate massive non-compliance with the new scheme, and routs of Democrat incumbents in the next three elections. (Not a single Republican voted for the bill.) There may be some brisk business in tar and feathers on the banks of the Potomac.

Inauguration Fallout: Will Retreat Locale Priorities be Skewed?

…Americans will refuse to comply with what they see as unconstitutional law. Then, much like in Finland and Germany, Greece, Italy, and Spain, rather than register their guns, owners will simply hide huge numbers of them in elaborate wall or attic caches, hidden rooms, and underground caches. (Not surprisingly, some of the highest rates of unregistered gun ownership are in countries that were occupied by Germany during World War II, wand where there has been a fear of occupation by other invading armies. (With the reasoning being “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.”) Massive noncompliance with gun registration will lead to a predicament: If most guns get buried somewhere, then what will people use on a regular day-to-day basis for target shooting, hunting, and self-defense? Certainly, some wealthy owners might embark upon buying a “second set” of registered guns. But this is prohibitively expensive…

…need to take some of Ezra with a grain of salt. Rebel news does do some good reporting on stories that the mainstream (government controlled) media won’t broadcast, but some of their stories, especially with Ezra, are almost a combination of Fox news and the National Enquirer. TominAlaska Matt, I totally agree although I plead guilty to accessorizing my gun with many extra magazines. wwes Agreed, refuse to comply with their cr*p. Mass noncompliance is outside of their ability to control or stop, and it is part of the road to winning. St. Funogas Hey L.C. you beat me to the punch. The main reason why all the Texas secession talk is just silly blather, is money.

…United States has been set aside, is to be depopulated, and then raped of her natural resources… Only our guns stand in their way… Edit: as you mentioned, the coming gun confiscation rulings. Joe Sorry to say your analysis seems to be spot on. The only saving grace is that the libs are 250 years too late on the gun control issue. This is illustrated by the noncompliance to their puny gun buy back schemes and attempts to have people register their fire arms. Over 39 million back ground checks last year alone would tell anyone with a lick of sense that the general public is not buying into their BS. The large red square military presence in DC under the guise of security was designed to intimidate us. Our government is now using Russian, Chinese, North Korean, Vietnamese, Cuban, Venezuelan and Cambodian military parade tactics to intimidate us. “News…




Universal Background Checks and Your Privacy

…while we still have them, then why pretend you will suddenly defend them when they are removed from us? Bones Another thing in Illinois is that any device which propels any projectile 700fps or greater is a firearm and subject to regulation. Therefore black powder are FFL 4473 items. Noncompliance among friends is widespread. I can post a link to the law describing this. “Firearm” means any device, by whatever name known, which is designed to expel a projectile or projectiles by the action of an explosion, expansion of gas or escape of gas; excluding, however: (1) any pneumatic gun, spring gun, paint ball gun, or B-B gun which expels a single globular projectile not exceeding .18 inch in diameter or which has a maximum muzzle velocity of less than 700 feet per second; (1.1) any pneumatic gun, spring gun, paint ball gun, or B-B gun which expels breakable paint…

And I will not comply with any new laws. In the meantime, I will continue to add to my self-defense equipment. I hope and pray that the President does the right thing and that I can continue to support him. I have not planned this course of action lightly. I know that if Trump loses, it will mean civil war.

The Coming Second Civil War

…with one bill after another banning this gun and that gun as an “assault weapon” and limiting magazines to 10 rounds, while the criminals use whatever they want. They banned bump stocks in the last legislative session. Now they’re going after “ghost guns” and “printable guns” because they’ve banned so many guns, there isn’t that much left to ban. They have no problem stomping on people’s rights and are too ignorant to understand that they are stomping on their own rights. Although there has been massive noncompliance with the new gun laws, the statists see our peaceful nature as an acknowledgment of their power, and now they want even more. What they don’t understand is that sooner or later something is going to snap. Then what? It’s hard to call back the dogs of war once they’ve been unleashed. Dan Good point, and I was talking about this to a…

…and RFID chips to track all that gear, and I don’t think that BATFE has the capability, the capacity, or the will to do it. Fourth, under that proposal, if someone has 50 magazines, it would cost them $10,000 to register them. What are the odds of that happening? Recent history has shown us that far more people ignore registration laws than abide by them. Adding a cost burden like that would just increase the noncompliance to an even greater level. LIke Jima imlpied, read Unintended Consequences and see the potetial outcome. I could go on, but I think you get the idea.

…thing as I just have. 6) The case counts are going up. Are they really? With the poor quality of the tests being used, how do we really know if the actual cases of CoVID-19 are going up? The answer is, we don’t. Yet the failed policies of the last 3 months are being pushed again. These are strictly political decisions, not based on anything scientific, only on the politics of the current election cycle. The only people paying the price for those failed policies are the citizens with the “boot on their necks, forever”. Finally, to insinuate that those who choose not to wear a mask should have the equivalent of a yellow star to mark their noncompliance is also… questionable. You’re tired, I get it. You work long and stressful hours, I get it. You are in a position to be exposed to very ill people every day,…
