The Plot Thickens (Virginia)

[Marine Cpl]

It doesn't end with 3%. It starts with them.

Sure, 3% can't win the war, but it takes a lot less to start one. Then the 97% will be forced to choose sides. You can bet that all 97% won't side with the oppressors.

The initial goal of an insurgency should be to force the government to crack down on the population in general driving more people into the arms of the insurgents.

There may only be a handful of people willing to risk their life and livelihood over this. But if they start shit, and the government starts cracking down they will cross a lot more people's red lines.

Martial law would force a lot more people to decide the government has outgrown it's proper role.

Are you kidding me? You think that the 97 percent that now cannot go to work due to war because the gas stations are empty and have to do without electricity and phone service are going to side with terrorists like the TV calls them because they are fighting for a pistol grip?

They would beg for the government to put and end to it so that their yearly upcoming vacation to Disney World isn’t halted.

The only way the other 97 percent would band together is if the government stopped their gravy train on their own.

All the pain they will see will be the governments doing.

The insurgents won't be the ones who order the internet turned off, or setup onerous checkpoints.

They won't be the ones who stop the world. In fact most of the 97% will never see them, they will just see the pain the government is causing.

When you have to take your shoes off to get on a plane, do you blame the TSA, or Richard Reed ?

Who do you blame for the SAFE act ? Cuomo, or Adam Lanza ?

Well said! And when the Guard goes door to door looking for AR's like the Governor wants, who are the people going to blame?

The majority will blame the gun. That’s what the sheeple think the main problem is. You cannot compare an informed person to an ignorant one. Even my family members think that’s the case and have banned me from Facebook for schooling them.

You might want to get out of NY a little more. I have in laws in WV and will tell you that people there don't screw around when it comes to this. Other States their firearms are like part of their own family, not to be messed with. I am currently on a group text line with a bunch of my Marine buddies across multiple States and they have been spreading the word and are very aware of the B.S. It shall be interesting the turnout for any rally in VA pertaining to this. Surprised the "Deep State" selected VA to start this B.S. When you go off the deep end and mention how you will use the National Guard to enforce your B.S then the Country will be watching so closely....

I was just in WV over Christmas break while traveling home from SC.

I stopped in at a few local stores near my hotel. One of which was a sportsman's Warehouse. I observed what appeared to be a younger husband and wife arguing/debating what gun to get their daughter (who appeared to be 7-8) as her first gun. The mom wanted a BB gun, dad wanted a .22.

Yes. These people are not giving up their guns. No chance.

Purely hypothetical. Just speculation but
"If" that happens I think people go lone wolf rule 308 on who they perceive as initiating this scenario.

Sadly, in a way, I hope there is somewhat of a non peaceful event at Richmond. Nothing severe but enough of a ruckus for the federal gov to step in. This will force a case to go to SCOTUS. By the time it gets there RBG will be in hell, and hopefully Trump will have been able to appoint a conservative, 2ndA loving patriot on the bench. Unionize the states .....may we all be free. I can hope anyway.
God bless America.

 

[SmallGameAddict]

Call in the NYNG? To go door to door confiscating 'assault weapons' without probable cause?

What NYS judge is going to sign off on a blanket search warrant that covers every home in NYS?

I double triple dog dare him.

This I gotta see, with my own 2 eyes.

I think it's entirely possible there will be unhinged people there on both sides.

I would love antifa to show up to counter protest.

I think this rally has a 50/50 chance of turning into Charlottesville 2.0

In that scenario, the mainstream media will write and broadcast volumes about how "common sense gun control" is the only "reasonable" answer to the crazy, gun-loving, violent people on Trump's far right. They'll insist that second amendment extremists are the true evil that walks among us.

The media already does that now. They're not our friend or Ally.

I would rather them go for that immediate outcome than to do it slowly.

One way or another it will force people to make a decision

Total rumor mill intel, no way to fact check it, but the word is, there are going to be numerous 2A road blocks set up to prevent people from going to the rallys , possible confiscations and arrests. especially near the border areas .

Just passing it along, I have no way to fact check it.

But if they are breaking the ""law"" they can be detained.

 

[SmallGameAddict]

Hmmm. I saw something like that on tv, a very long time ago. They were on their way to civil rights marches. Some were beaten with clubs.

Didn't look real good for the home team. Sure impressed me.

What gun are they going to blame for the internet going down ?

Once things get going, guns would be a very minor part of it.

Sounds highly illegal. Driving while what?

White and a country cracker? Going to the mall? Stopping all traffic to see if people are armed or unarmed?

Any LEO participating in anything like this has broken their oath, is no longer an LEO because of such oath breaking, and should be ignored.

Does Governor "Coonman Let's Kill Babies" Northam think all LE are Lon Horiuchi clones?

LE has to get it's head screwed on tight about the Constitutionality of crap like this before participating in Nazi style road blocks.

ETA: sounds like a chapter in one of Bracken's books.

 

[SmallGameAddict]

This is great! It hasn't even happened yet, and already it's a public relations disaster.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

No, that's not how I think it would go at all.

I think it will start with some gray beard lone gunman unabomber types acting alone.

Some guys nearing the end of a good life with not much left to lose. Guys who don't want to leave the world the way it is for their family.

Some guy who says enough and just decides he is going to remove the governor from office himself.

Realizing he'll probably get caught, but the 5 or 10 years they can put him in prison for it are a price he's willing to pay to leave his son a better world.

It'll be a bunch of guys like that all coming to the same conclusion on their own, and not working with anyone else.

Then the people running that government will crack down hard because they are scared, personally scared.

That crack down will just force the hand of more of the gray beards.

Maybe some will say "our best chance is to get Trump 3 more SCOTUS picks".

The soy boys and left wingers obviously will never be on the side of freedom. The very concept terrifies them. They *want* the government to tell them exactly how to live their lives. The worse it gets they more they will want the government to take control.

But there are a lot of people out there who aren't left wingers. This wouldn't be a democracy. It would be a fight. It would not be won by twitter followers and facebook likes, so the left's base would be irrelevant.

You more elaborately explained what I meant above in post 67.

I was trying to vaguely beat around the bush what you detailed. I think there are people out there who feel current policies, laws and circumstances are crossing a once forbidden moral threshold. Once that "red line" is crossed there are people who will feel they are justified to take what actions they think are in accordance with their beliefs of what is best for this country. What % of the country or state of Virginia feels that way, I'm not sure. It might be .0001% or it might be 5%. I don't know. But what I know is that there are people bout there who feel pushed and pushed and pushed and once that final push is just a little too far and it goes over the line, they are going to punch the bully back.

I think I've been reading too many books and watching too many movies....

Right. That’s the most likely outcome. A few rogues that’ll fire a few shots and get themselves killed or captured. Killed most likely.

In the end, it’ll make things worst for everyone else when things clamp down further for gun owners. And when another group does it again after that, the laws get tighter.

Those rogue missions will accomplish nothing positive. The only way things can change if it’s nationwide and a total collapse. But one state with a group of rogues will actually speed the liberals end game diminishing our borrowed time.

You have to know that what they want is inevitable unless there is a total, nationwide government collapse.

I've heard similar, though I'm a bit hazy on what border areas are meant? State borders are pretty far from Richmond in every direction. Can't really see them roadblocking the major interstates either. Perhaps trying to spread false information as a deterrent? I could see increased attention being placed on travelers with out of state plates, though.

the NRA shows up .. sort of ..

The rogues forcing the government hand to make things worse will create more rogues.

The worse it gets the more of them there will be.

It's a downward spiral after that. It either ends in a chi-com style totalitarian state, or the collapse you sre talking about.

I am not looking forward to either. Just preparing to survive them as best I can.

I disagree. After 40 year old Call of Duty YouTube Nick that always talked about them coming and taking it if they dare sees grey bearded Joe and his merry band of 4 get gunned down, he will sit back down and hide his shit in his closet and say that he is doing his part by not complying.

There aren’t too many people that have no family with nothing to lose.

I’ll use myself as an example because I say the truth and do not care what anyone thinks of me. I love my family. But if all I ever see is unplanned, amateur suicide missions that produce no results, I sure as hell ain’t going to join myself to that cause so that my family suffers now.

But if instead I saw an organized outfit that took down police communications towers, created roadblocks to prevent response, stormed politicians homes, etc, and actually saw results, I would want to stand with them. But I know that will never happen. Most people are ignorant and think they’ll be fighting politicians and ANTIFA on the battlefield. They are too ignorant to see that it’s those that enforce the law that are the enemy because without them, politicians are empty suits and to get to politicians, law enforcement around them have to go down.

Most people are too ignorant to see what it actually takes. They just keep saying one day and I will stand. But they do not really know who they will stand up to. They have this fantasy in their heads that the police will stand with us and face politicians wearing uniforms in the battlefield.
