I guess people have had enough of the police BS in SoCal. These people are serious and they now have G4T on board.
I have been contacted and have joined the most organized group of Liberty Activists in the LA area. I’m expecting some huge footage in the near future. Wish me luck…peace
If they’re going to violate our rights at the barrel of a gun. We the people need to enforce our rights at the barrel of a gun.
This isn’t a call for violence. It’s to level the playing field leading to reason and dialog.
Deadly force should be the last option.

“The Gun Is Civilization” By Maj. L. Caudill, USMC (Ret)
Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. If you want me to do something for you, you have a choice of either convincing me via argument, or force me to do your bidding under threat of force. Every human interaction falls into one of those two categories, without exception. Reason or force, that’s it.
In a truly moral and civilized society, people exclusively interact through persuasion. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.
When I carry a gun, you cannot deal with me by force. You have to use reason and try to persuade me, because I have a way to negate your threat or employment of force.
The gun is the only personal weapon that puts a 100-pound woman on equal footing with a 220-pound mugger, a 75-year old retiree on equal footing with a 19-year old gang banger, and a single guy on equal footing with a carload of drunk guys with baseball bats. The gun removes the disparity in physical strength, size, or numbers between a potential attacker and a defender.
There are plenty of people who consider the gun as the source of bad force equations. These are the people who think that we’d be more civilized if all guns were removed from society, because a firearm makes it easier for a [armed] mugger to do his job. That, of course, is only true if the mugger’s potential victims are mostly disarmed either by choice or by legislative fiat – it has no validity when most of a mugger’s potential marks are armed.
People who argue for the banning of arms ask for automatic rule by the young, the strong, and the many, and that’s the exact opposite of a civilized society. A mugger, even an armed one, can only make a successful living in a society where the state has granted him a force monopoly.
Then there’s the argument that the gun makes confrontations lethal that otherwise would only result in injury. This argument is fallacious in several ways. Without guns involved, confrontations are won by the physically superior party inflicting overwhelming injury on the loser.
People who think that fists, bats, sticks, or stones don’t constitute lethal force watch too much TV, where people take beatings and come out of it with a bloody lip at worst. The fact that the gun makes lethal force easier works solely in favor of the weaker defender, not the stronger attacker. If both are armed, the field is level.
The gun is the only weapon that’s as lethal in the hands of an octogenarian as it is in the hands of a weight lifter. It simply wouldn’t work as well as a force equalizer if it wasn’t both lethal and easily employable.
When I carry a gun, I don’t do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I’m looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don’t carry it because I’m afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid. It doesn’t limit the actions of those who would interact with me through reason, only the actions of those who would do so by force. It removes force from the equation… And that’s why carrying a gun is a civilized act.

Very well put, flek. Our enemy despises reason.
Hi Flek,
Ok,.. thanks,.. that is a really great piece to quote.
I have not heard of Maj. Caudill before, so I’m glad you included his name and book title, as I will look this up, and get a copy.
I really like how the Major breaks the argument into its most fundamental components,.. and relates it to everyday life (the universal experience) all in a couple of paragraphs.
Very well thought out and written,.. I am truly interested in reading the rest of his book now, as I am sure it is equally lucid and well balanced in temperment, argument, presentation and expression.
Thanks again Flek.
JD – US Marines – Simply put,… thugs, whether an individual or a government, can NOT simply exterminate an armed peoples, hence the current, “Enemy Force In Occupation’s” fanatical attempts to disarm. Its only to make their extermination process of us go much easier and smoother.
You only need to do one thing to settle this question of armed. Just look into the areas that are gun free whether they be cities, states or even properties.
Answer is plain to see.
Best of luck,keep us updated when possible,sets a example for others to consider.
All the very best to the freedom loving people of the Inland Empire. The only way to change things is mass vote the right people into office and jail the wrong people. If your not dehydrated first
Right on Maj. Recently three New Jersey Senators have warned that we are on the verge of a violent uprising, that people have had enough. These thoughts are now growing among the populace and the Gov. knows it, and they are “scared”, as we live in a country with tens of millions of veterans who are combat trained and armed, not counting the tens of millions of civilians who are well armed and proficient in weapons, and other necessities, such as hunters and target shooters.
It will not be long before there is a “spark” that should have happened years ago before we let a cadre of Marxist, Atheist, garbage take over our country.
Hi Jarheadusmc,
How are you doing brother?
If you have ever listened to our radio show, “From The Trenches”,… you know I live this putrified state of Nazi-Jersey,.. although thank God,… I grew up in a different state.
Anyway,… do you recall who those NJ Senators were that made the comment you refer to??
I would like to know what was the specifics of why they felt the need to make that comment.
Thanks.

My apologies for butting in, here is a link to a N.J senator’s comments….I’m still looking for more.

February 1, 2014 — (TRN) — Saying “people can’t take it anymore” New Jersey State Senator Ron Rice (D- Essex) says he believes New Jersey will soon erupt in riots. He says it could be as bad or worse than the Newark riots of 1967. At a press conference in Trenton, Rice said ““I’m praying it doesn’t happen but believe me we’re back where we were in the ‘60s. We feel it and we’re very fearful.”
I’m going to comment on these videos without watching them, because they demand that I load the flash player, and that’s on my ever-expanding boycott list.
With that in mind, I think (but can’t be sure) that what’s important here is that this seems to be an uprising, or organizing effort of common working people, rather than people who were part of any “movement” previously.
If that’s the case, it means that revolution has become a reality for people who were somewhat apathetic in the past, and it indicates that we’re reached a very important milestone that insures an EASY victory.
Obviously not everyone here is brain-dead.
