Why We Have a Second Amendment: Venezuela Plans to Give Firearms to Loyalists So They Can Purge Growing Resistance

    After enduring shortages of food and medicine for years, as well as a total collapse of their currency, the people of Venezuela have had enough. Last week it was estimated that 2.5 million people marched against the Maduro regime, which had previously tried to strip away the powers of the opposition-led parliament. It’s estimated that as many as 6 million people may have taken to the streets to protest throughout the country.

    In the lead-up to the protest, which had been planned for weeks by opposition political parties, President Maduro issued an alarming proclamation that didn’t receive nearly enough press. He promised to expand the nation’s armed militia, and hand out firearms to as many as 400,000 loyalists.

    The Bolivarian militias, currently at approximately 100,000, were created by the late Hugo Chavez to assist the armed forces in the defense of his revolution from external and domestic attacks.

    Speaking to thousands of militia members dressed in beige uniforms gathered in front of the presidential palace, Maduro said that vision remains relevant as Venezuela continues to face “imperialist aggression.”

    “A gun for every militiaman!” he cried.

    If you know your history of communist regimes, you understand what comes next. Maduro’s response to millions of hungry pissed off people, is to arm his die-hard supporters, who will be able to purge the starving masses that dared to cross him. They may not face much resistance, because in 2012 Venezuela banned private firearm ownership.

    Venezuela has brought a new gun law into effect which bans the commercial sale of firearms and ammunition.

    Until now, anyone with a gun permit could buy arms from a private company.

    Under the new law, only the army, police and certain groups like security companies will be able to buy arms from the state-owned weapons manufacturer and importer.

    The ban is the latest attempt by the government to improve security and cut crime ahead of elections in October

    Venezuela saw more than 18,000 murders last year and the capital, Caracas, is thought to be one of the most dangerous cities in Latin America.

    Do you see how that works? Maduro’s socialist policies turned that country into a crime-ridden hell hole, (and eventually turned their capital city into the most violent in the world). Instead of abandoning their centrally planned economy, which would bring prosperity to all and lower the crime rate, Maduro took away everyone’s guns. Now that his socialist policies are bringing Venezuela’s population to brink of starvation and revolution, he decides to arm his violent and dimwitted loyalists. He has set up the perfect conditions for a genocidal purge of everyone who opposes him.

    I’d say that this would be a fine lesson for any would-be socialists in this country, but they don’t seem eager to learn. Neither did many Venezuelans, who elected these control freaks nearly two decades ago. They could have looked at any socialist experiment from the 20th century, and realized that it always leads to starvation and mass murder. Instead they let themselves be conned by what is now the oldest and most deadly political trick in the book.

      1. Just think about half of our nation thinks,”we can do it better,we can make it work” Liberalism is a mental disorder!
        I’m sure not everyone in Venezuela voted for this crap,they
        were out voted!!hmmmm
        Be well all
        Maniac –out

        • Well, our NRA thinks only neck beard hunter hillbillies need arms to wound ducks. They believe in gun free zones where only criminals have guns and no modern arms for slaves without govt permission. Smart?

          • Thats why i dont and wont support the NRA,,,
            They lost me at compromise,,,
            2A says nothing about compromise

            • I agree completely. NRA is not on our side.

              • BlackMoe you have your facts all screwed up. What liberal have you been listening to? The NRA opposes gun free zones, all ways have and all ways will.

            • Indeed. No Compromise. Marbury v Maddison established the long held (never refuted) doctrine which is “All laws which are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.” Murdock v. Pennsylvania went on to confirm that “No State shall convert a liberty into a privilege, license it, and charge a fee therefor.“ and in Shuttlesworth v. City of Birmingham Alabama, 373 US 262: ”If the State converts a right (liberty) into a privilege, the citizen can ignore the license and fee and engage in the right (liberty) with impunity.“

              In order to effect Rights articulated in our Constitution government must go through the Amendment process. Government can NOT alter the Constitution (our Rights) via a legislative swipe of the pen ‘Lawfully’. Understand – what Congress passes is ‘legal’ not necessarily “Lawful”.

          • Ghandi,
            please make an effort to write comments that have an ounce of sense! or, try writing when sober!

            • I will

            • mangycoyote, what Ghandi said is true. NRA is known for supporting gun-free “safety” zones that only disarm the law-abiding, thus endangering everyone.

          • “Among the many misdeeds of British rule in India, history will look upon the Act depriving a whole nation of arms as the blackest.” – Mahatma Ghandi

          • The nra promoted most of the restrictions to the second amendment. They are and have been traitors to the Constitution. They are not pro 2a or pro constitution.

          • Not sure what NRA you belong to but the one that I am a life member of opposes gun free zones.

        • How about the 250,000 unarmed amerikan slaves ready to evacuate South Korea. No gun for those cowards either?

          • How can a foreign national civilian – like an American – be armed in South Korea?

            Only a dumbazz liberal would stay in the middle of a pending war zone – a prepper would be back home for a couple of weeks and going over their SHTF checklist …

            That 230,000 civilians include many ex-military still serving their country – love to see the damage after you call one of them a slave and a coward ….

            • Hey, the illegal foreign Mexicans are smart enough to own guns in amerika slave. That’s how.

          • Most of the people you are speaking of are military dependent families.

        • Thankfully, in Maduro, the left has yet another incredibly arrogant, ignorant, venal, corrupt short sighted and just plain STUPID leader. Think Hilary. In fact, to become a leftist, as Churchill said “If you are 20 and are not a socialist, you have no heart; if you are 30 and still a socialist, you have no brain.”

          “Socialism (lit. ‘gouvernement’ in Fr.) is the great fiction whereby everybody endeavours to live off of everybody else.”
          – Frederic Bastiat, 1801-1850

          And yes, you are correct. Even after 175 years or so, leftists STILL have no clue why this HAS never worked, WILL never work, and CAN never work. But.. that won’t stop them, as Maggie said, from trying and trying and trying until they run out of YOUR money.

          • Socialism works great for them. Oboinga gets $60,000,000 for a book deal he hasn’t even written, Plus $400,000 for a speech. Bankers are rich so what doesn’t work for the Feds? Meanwhile the tax slaves fight for jobs that spill off the plate of billionaires. Workers save their money in 401k then that is slowly pilfered too. It is funny to watch the the nonsense. Actors like Charlton Heston who holds an unloaded black powder gun up and says from my cold dead hands. You can’t make this stupidity up. Hahahaha I chuckle thinking about chuck Heston doing those anti gun adds then after being mentally degraded becomes president to get the rights back that he was successful in taking when his brain worked. Hahahahaha. Hahahahaha lol hahaha stupid jerks pay him hahahaha fuuuny stuff. Hahaha

            • Good point,Gandhi. I stand corrected. It is as the old apocryphal story goes about Leonid Brezhnev:

              The story goes Leonid Brezhnev had his ancient grandmother visit him at his office in Moscow when he was leader of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Brezhnev proudly showed her his many Zil limousines – all left running for whenever his whims demanded – the Italian marble floors in his private bathroom, the gold plated handles on his mahogany desk, all his dachas, his multiple fine silk suites in his closets, and much, much more.

              Finally, the end of the day came, and all the assistants, servants and aides went home. After everyone had left, the aged grandmother looked around very, very carefully, then sidled up as close as she possibly could to her grandson and whispered very, very quietly in his ear:

              “This is all very well, Leonid. But… WHAT IF THE COMMUNISTS COME????”

              Of course, today we would apply this same story to all the Hollywood Learjet leftists, Chelsea Clinton and her hedge fund mgr hubby, Michelle-Marie Antoinette Obama and her monthly uber-vacations, the John Kerrys with their mega-yachts, the Nancy Pelosis who increase their net worth by tens of millions while in office, etc.

              • With so much of the government corruption on display who has been indited? For that matter investigated.I guess a corrupt government and corrupt government workers can’t ferret out corruption.

            • When I joined the military and about 50 men were swearing their oath to defend the constitution and obey slave orders of men “appointed” over me, I will never forget that none of the men had n the room had ever fully read the US Constitution. Hahaha they just wanted to know when they could eat. “Appointed over me” hmmmm? What does that mean? I found out the most vile filth for the most part that would do unspeakable things.

        • Venezuela sounds like where California wants to go.

          …….except not only will I NOT be giving up my guns, I’ll be making more.

          Because FUCK Jerry Brown, Kevin DeLeon, Gavin Nuisance, Dianne Feinstein and all the rest.

          There’s a time coming when the patriots will actively hunt their asses down and exercise the intention of the 2nd Amendment.

      2. This will happen in the USA someday in the future as the malleable minds that have been dumbed down in government schools and academia become the next generations to take over. We see the obvious signs of this already today with the absolute lawlessness and corruption and the formation of the police state. The writing is on the wall so to speak.

        We are surrounded by socially engineered indoctrinated fools who know nothing about American history or what their rights are. Many people don’t even know they have rights of whom are begging for socialism and communism in America and one day these useful idiots will be the overwhelming majority in America.

        The social darwinists elite NWO at the top know it is much easier to subvert a society when the people are willfully ignorant of the Bill of Rights, Americanism, the Constitution, or have any moral values.

        Collectivism creats cuba, it creats venezuela, it creats north korea so fourth and so on.

        • Yolanda, this will happen in USA someday? Go to Detroit, Chicago, Cleavland and stop to smell the roses.

        • Sorry Yolanda. Whether that will happen or not depends on people like you and me.

          Freedom was lost several times in WWII. It is only by a miracle, a whisper and a lot of courage that freedom won, but it did.

          You may be ready to throw in the towel, but am not, and will note. But the rest of what you wrote was right on

      3. Voting creates liberalism. Destroy all “officials” and governments and follow the laws in the Gospels. How simple is that? When you vote you vote against the King of Kings.

        • Democracy works until people realize they can vote themselves free shit

          • We are a republic. That damn government education again. I haven’t found the word democracy in the Constitution. Democracy 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what’s for dinner.

      4. Imagine that this is what Obama tried to do…OH Wait…..

        • And what Clinton was doing….

      5. Interesting that Facebook will not allow this article to be shared, especially because I posted Bernie is a socialist !

        • Bernie is not a socialist he is a full blown scumbag

        • I dumped Farcebook years ago, myself. Not interested in supporting fascism

      6. I thank goodness we live in a country like ours.

        • Why?

      7. I think it was 2006 they were ordered to give up the guns in public hands
        10-11 years later look at where they are
        And the plans against them

        Any questions as to why you never give up your guns?
        And if this nation is to ever call for your arms or to confiscate them
        I sure hope people will realize before that where this country would be headed
        And refuse with extreme prejudice , and take out those with this agenda

        • The left is already arming up via George Soros. Won’t be long now. In other news it seems that Louisiana is removing some of the old confederate monuments. Must be making room for the upcoming civil war monuments.

          • FEMA coffins will no doubt get used for many. I’m ready as I’ll be I reckon. There’s no where I go that I’m not fully armed with extra ammo and a get home backpack with essentials. I hope you all that post here whether we agree on things or not make it through this on the right side of the grass.

            • If someone needs a FEMA coffin I have a cheap canoe for sale you could use. Could do a Viking burial.

            • But if you do a Viking burial you will need to get a govt permit for the flaming arrows since NRA considers them a”any other weapons”

              • With Grover Norquist on the board at the nra that should be all that you need to know to show who they really are. They like the Repub party are there to make you think there is a chance to save the constitution while lighting it on fire.

            • Menzo, same here. Anyone who wants mine will just get bullets instead.

          • They want to make room for the faggots and the statues of the he-she’s and all of those disgusting $hits of life!! And NEVER, EVER give-up your firearms.

        • Cold dead hands if they can find em in the ashes,,,,,,,

        • EOTS, when they were told to give up their guns, that is when there should’ve been an all-out revolt against the red regime. NEVER EVER SURRENDER YOUR WEAPONS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. Someone would have to kill me to get mine.

          • We will give them up just like they did in Connecticut and California without a whimper. And if you don’t you will go to prison. I wonder what percentage of the prison population are those invited for bearing arms. The population has been chucked and won’t do shit.

      8. If a call ever comes in this nation to surrender weapons(and do not) if no one submits, if all remain in one mind, then they will stand down temporarily but then may use force to confiscate weapons.

        Would be a bad day in America.

        • Watching- have you watched the TV shows like mom, modern family, or dancing with the stars. Even Mr. T looked like a fag.

        • Already confiscate guns during katina, football games, political rallies, federal buildings, schools, on and on and on and on and… when went to see trump speak I had to take my 1 inch blade pocket knife to my car and on and on and…so on thanks NRA

      9. Lost all mine in the lake while I was fishing….deep lake too.

        • Yep, no gun here. I don’t want those old antiques laying around for some idiot NRA member to hurt himself or some defenseless duck.

        • Wow you too? I hate when that happens. I forgot which lake it was too. Maybe it was lake Huron, no, Erie I think.

          • Along with your silver, I hate when that happens!

      10. Sounds a lot like the “civilian force” equal to the military that obama wanted.

        • Exactly right. Plus – the arming of every federal agency, no matter how trivial – were they (a socialist fifth column we now see because of Trump “resistance”) the army Obama was planning?

        • Maduro should impose asset forfeiture and tell his goons they can keep some of what they steal from the victims of the govt. works in amerika?

        • He weaponized every branch of government. The fda,department of education,epaulets have their own paramilitary force.

      11. Just testing if th jew protection system here is working here and if my comments needs to wait for mod approval then i’m done with this place, delete the bookmark

      12. Two subjects worth two cents:

        1: If Maduro arms loyalists before the resistance arms and organizes themselves into separate small cells, Maduro will win. If the people do, quietly, secretly, prepare to fight; the people can and will win back their Country.

        2: A Southern Patriot Group should find a white iron worker group. Join forces in an employee owned business making large patriotic statues for front and back yards. These can be part of water catchment systems?. Working with plumbers, you can create patriotic water fountains. There are many ways to fight oppression. Seek solutions that pay well, create the world you want to live in, are independent of system control as much as humanly possible.

        God Bless America !!!

        • The people there, the ones outside of Maduro’s select, have little food and are hungry. The average Venezuelan has lost something close to 20 pounds over the last year or two from lack of food.

          Many, many reports from there about people staying out of the anti Maduro demonstrations because they are simply too hungry and lack the strength to take part in them.

          Hungry people, starving people, don’t fight well if at all.

          We’re lucky that can’t happen here.

        • Well fast and furious armed our drug cartels and blamed the American sportsman. I bet the NRA had the propaganda ready to distribute to get the slaves to agree to more”common sense ” gun laws? Maybe we should ban guns not only where alcohol is served but also tacos ? ?

        • Hey Germany proved that if you want a loyalist just give them a black uniform, a big paycheck, a bigger gun, and a badge. They will do what they are told then. Let the flash bangs fly!

        • Seek solutions that don’t publicly advertise you as a target.

          • You have the correct name anonymous

      13. If the Venezuelans are hungry enough, do or die will prevail.

        A few could smarten up and ambush a couple of soldiers/police/loyalists (probably ex police/soldirs or F-it I ain’t got nuthin’ to lose types) and arm themselves. Then the insurgency really starts.

        Maybe they’ll end up turning their backs on Socialism. Maybe.

        • Militia groups call those people who have to risk everything to get a weapon- butterknife brigades. If they are successful great, if not and the Feds take them out you lose nothing. The NRA believes people with minor felonies should not own guns so just make more things felonies like not paying taxes to the king? Or resisting arrest buy hitting the cops fist with your face.

          • every free man has his rights intact

            if a person has a felony ( un related to guns lets say) he didnt lose his 1st amendment right

            so he doesnt lose his second amendment rights either

            a free man has the right to arm himself for protection..or he is a sitting duck

            Fuck what the law says , its wrong

            if you paid your debt to society and they spring you loose, you have all your rights intact.. fuck them go buy a gun

            • Yes

            • But we are slaves

        • Boyo, I’ll bet a certain percentage have already given up on socialism and a lot more will before it’s all said and done.

      14. Water catchment systems married to an out door system of pipes or rubber hose to water your garden automatically can be incorporated into the business. Where there is a problem, there is opportunity.

        Stop crying every time things go South. Start taking advantage before your enemies do. They will. But that shouldn’t stop you. Move. An object in motion tends to stay in motion. An object at rest turns into a fat couch potato.

        • In Europe, “immigrants” do not cause the vast number of terror attacks; the children of “immigrants” are the vast number of terror attackers.

          In America, a similar problem exists. Children of illegals are more resentful than their parents. Because these people are considered citizens, their crimes are put down as domestic violence rather than foreign.

          Reverse the 1965 immigration act, enforce the laws already on the books, big fines for businesses who hire law breakers, stop enticing poor people to come here for benefits that are only for U.S. citizens, fire or identify and politically castrate politicians who support illegal power.

          __

      15. It astounds me that there are still Venezuelans who support Maduro and socialism. The system has failed! If you are on the payroll it might be understandable but only then does it make sense! We are definitely seeing why the founding fathers put the second amendment into the Constitution. When they did it, the people and the government had pretty much the same weapons (flintlocks); there wasn’t the mismatch there is today. It would be hard to overthrow a tyrant unless elements of the military switched sides. Valery was right about Obama arming civilian agencies; it is very similar.

      16. IF the shooting ever actually started in America it would be one chaotic melee of destruction with at least 3 factions involved: The Government, the Leftists, and the right wing loyalists (don’t know what else to call the small faction of conservatives that actually stand for traditional American values and identity and support those other that do as well).

        The Government will be mostly allied with the Leftists against the right, since they see the right as the threat to their entrenched power, but still be an independent faction aimed at ruling both of them.

        Those responsible, the government officials, politicians, and especially the Judges, will remain untouched while seeing their power increase and suffering no consequences.

        But it probably won’t start, the conservative (right wing) side has a long history of griping then attacking each other instead of the Left and then sheepishly submitting to Leftist demands and policies.

        With the election of Obama, the Left claimed official ownership of the country and the right submitted and went along with it, their leadership collaborating with the Democrats and Obama on every possible front.

        In the end, you’ll gripe loudly and then submit while attacking and blaming your own to avoid facing responsibility for it. You can see the process on a daily basis, and it’s particularly evident in forums like this with the constant attack on Trump and the total failure to support him in anything he tries to accomplish.

        • Patriots!

          • Yeah, that would be appropriate.

        • Nice defeatism, Anon. That all remains to be seen. Nothing is in stone, until we CHOOSE to make it so, or not.

          Too many people are now awake to go gently into that bad socialist night. In fact, in case you noticed, Trump won a few months ago. And no, he is not perfect. But I daresay he’s light years ahead of Hilary, and why Goldmun Suchs and all the other PTB were sending her millions (excellent, BTW – great to see those disgusting Learjet leftists lose yet more money!)

        • Anonymous why are you attacking your own here?

          • If you aren’t behind Trump and other resistance, you are not my own. You are working to the benefit of the leftists instead of standing steadfastly against them on every front you can. That makes you one of them.

            I’m just pointing that out to you, as if it will do any good.

            BTW, Ann Coulter and her supporters just rolling over and giving in to the Leftist demands at Berkley to shut up and go away is another example of the right griping loudly then sheepishly giving in and doing what the Left tells them to do instead of refusing to accept their rule.

        • ALL TRUE – That is Why spraying of Lithium and other unidentified MIND_ALTERING POISONS has been taking place, to quench the fires of REVOLT and PACIFY the Taxpayers, not for “climate engineering”,

      17. Well, while we still have our guns, maybe we should reverse this, and start our own PURGE. Just kidding or was I. LOL.
        Sgt.

        • well, there’s always the venerable PITCHFORK!….did they confiscate THOSE too?

          • A pitchfork would make a great meley weapon. But not much good at 300 yds

            • come now, ghandi, they worked well for you in india….

              • Yes but I have a different opinion now that I was shot in the head.

        • Sarge, that day is coming sooner than anyone imagines and it won’t be a joke.

          • I’ve read some things about England wanted to ban butcher knives and the like, or have them with a rounded second point below the sharp first point. Don’t know the latest on it.

      18. Never give up your guns once you do it’s too late to protect yourself.

      19. Daniel Lang, do you know that this is fake news? are you part of the western media misinformation? Please, you, that knows very well what the western media is capable of, do you believe everything you read or hear in the oligarchic owned media? Let me give you the news, WESTERN MEDIA IS LYING ABOUT VENEZUELA! And the same happens now with Syria, it happened with Libya, happened with Irak and Afghanistan. Not to say with Panama, when Noriega was arrested and sent to a US prison. You should check news channels like Telesur for example, instead of checking the western media presstitutes, like Paul Craig Roberts calls them. The international media right now is totally orchestrated, directed by powers in Washington) to spread all sort of lies about Venezuela in order to convince the public opinion that in Venezuela exist a dictatorial castro-chavista-russian-china communism that eats children on the barbecue and that “crackdown” on his own people (like Gaddaffi, Assad, Saddam, etc were accused) in order to attack that country with a “humanitarian intervention”. Daniel lang, do some real research. Unfortunately, you don’t speak spanish to read the state media or alternative media in Venezuela. The private media, in Venezuela and other countries, is owned by corporations, by oligarchs, not by working class persons. So, wake up Daniel!! You are bouncing FAKE NEWS! You can do better!

        • If lying about anything, it’s about the extent and severity of the Communist destruction going on there.

        • Wtf are you talking about? Everyone in Venezuela knows about the loyalist, we call them “colectivos” in spanish. The have been armed by the state a long time ago.

          On another note, do you really believe the state tv channel? Thats like watching state sponsored tv stations in North Korea and saying its the truth.

      20. “Firearms stand next in importance to the constitution itself. They are the American people’s liberty teeth and keystone under independence … from the hour the Pilgrims landed to the present day, events, occurences and tendencies prove that to ensure peace security and happiness, the rifle and pistol are equally indispensable … the very atmosphere of firearms anywhere restrains evil interference — they deserve a place of honor with all that’s good.”
        George Washington
        First President of the United States

        • Rabbitone, you must be brainwashed by the NRA, firearms are not mentioned in the US Constitution. Read it again slave.

          • Gandhi says:
            … you must be brainwashed by the NRA, firearms are not mentioned in the US Constitution. Read it again slave.

            Gandhi,
            You sound rather suspicious. Always pointing, not actually contributing anything of substance.

            A Refresher:

            Amendment II

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diz-8FzHOLM

            • Arms means arms. Firearms are a small subset. Most modern weapons today are not firearms. They are cell phones, propaganda, lasers, nukes, food, gun free zones. Quit living in the past and read the constitution for “yourself”. Firearms are not mentioned. The first fights of the revolutionary war was over seizing cannons to prevent the British ships from being sunk at the harbor. wake up and shake the NRA propaganda out of you small brain.

              • Hmmm, sounds like you’re pretending to be a conservative

        • Firearms are only a small subset that the NRA approves of and only a small subset of that is govt approved.

      21. B from. Ca ,you crack me up! You have some really good posts your so Ca. Self employed for years when younger,enjoyed it. Now that I’m older need insurance for family!

      23. Not sure why, but theres a picture of Raquel Welch on the sidebar cluster, shes a hotty

        • Welch is doing her job, distracting you from thinking.

          • Perhaps he thinks with his caulk-ing gun. . .

      24. Having been watching the snowballing of Venezuela is amusing, i remember when Maduro got elected, it seems he has definitely increased the speed of decline in that country,
        I think it is a good example of what socialism does to a country, the stupid azz democrats who want to make us all pay for everybody else need to pay attention, but they wont, i see it here every day on the news i catch,,,
        Nobody ever said life was going to be fair, and i never said i was willing to take care of anybody i dont personally chose to take care of, ill be damned if i help to support socialism or communism at any level or in any form,,,,

        • Nailbanger, same here. I’ve gotten to the point that I hate libturds now more than ever. If they want to do something to me, it won’t end well for them.

      25. The founders knew human nature. They knew there would be something like Antifa. Antifa is the communist/anarchist violent terror group that attacks conservatives any where they can. Antifa closely resembles
        Mao’s Red Guards of the Cultural Revolution in China. The Red Guards would attack people at random in order to terrorize the population into compliance with the Chinese Communist Party. Millions died. That’s why we have firearms. So we don’t end up like the victims of the Red Guard.

        • I am non-violent. However, I don’t believe self-defense falls in the category of violence. The left is ALWAYS full of H8TE and violence. As just one example of many, witness the disgusting, vile Wee Willy Ayers quote: “…we’re also going to make it clear that when a pig gets iced that’s a good thing, and that everyone who considers himself a revolutionary should be armed, should own a gun, should have a gun in his house.”
          (Bill Ayers, leftist activist and confidant of gun control happy Barack Obama, in A Strategy To Win, appearing in New Left Notes, September 12, 1969.

          Of a certainty, when it comes to self defense, they will find among conservatives exactly what Yamamoto is often quoted as saying (he never did, but still instructive quote): “You can’t invade America – there would be a gun behind every blade of grass.” Note to the fascist left: that is still true today among true Americans. And there are MANY, MANY of us around. In fact, you might even say, “We’re here, we’re NOT queer, and we are never, ever, EVER going away. Get used to it.”

          And, as a former football player at the university level in the US, I can assure the fascist left that I will defend myself, my family, and innocent people around me who are attacked with full vigor, to the extent you will rue the day you considered your assualt.

          These leftists are literally the modern day counterparts of the National *socialist* brownshirts of the late 1930. We saw this before. Won’t ever happen again in a free America. And, mark my word you vile leftists, we WILL remain free. You found that out in 1945 when your cousins in Nazi Germany lost, and again in 1991 when your other cousins in the USSR lost (yes, the National SOCIALISTS and the Union of Soviet SOCIALIST Republics were indeed cousins, albeit not brothers). You will find it out again, as will your puppet master, the utterly vile Geo. Soros.

          Bonne chance, leftists. We don’t initiate violence, you do. But we will defend ourselves and our freedom. You are about to find that out.

          Oh yes. I was born in the San Francisco area. I watched you take over CA with your fascism. Trust me, it won’t happen again.

          • the pledge of allegiance was written by a national socialist [francis bellamy, 1892]

            salute used in government “schools” up to 1942:

            https://tinyurl.com/m7hqr2q

            • I don’t pledge allegiance to a flag. Any flag. I pledge allegiance to what ever I feel like at the time. Drunk or no.

              But generally I pledge allegiance to my bag of potato chips.

      26. As I have noted before, the left MURDERED over 100 **million** last century, per the Black Book of Communism, Oxford Univ. Press. This murderous rampage dates all the way back to Robespierre – nothing is sacrosanct in the Quixotic quest for perfected Communist man – and they will MURDER billions to achieve it. Except, of course, they *can* never achieve it, as it does not recognize the essential nature of man.

        The late Dr. RJ Rummel at Univ. of Hawaii puts the number even higher at https://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/PERSONAL.HTM tho he includes ALL “democide” deaths.

        Truth is, the left is the most murderous group ever to disgrace this planet. That professor that was assaulted and hospitalized at Middlebury College, VT over free speech, the violent riots in Berzerkely (no “safe spaces’ there among those fascist leftists!), the “rape Melania” signs after the election, ad nauseam – all of this is ***utterly*** consistent with the – dare I say satanic – world view of the left.

        These people are the biggest haters on the planet.

        • The right murdered all the Native Americans

        • Governments in general are responsible for the most murder.
          During the 20th century 100s of millions of people have been murdered by the hands of government agents who were just following orders and enforcing laws of tyrants knowingly and unknowingly.

          A man in the state of NY just received a 21 year prison sentence for being in possession of 3/17 round pistol magazines under the NY SAFE Act. He was arrested, charged, tried, and convicted by men who were just following orders.

      27. December 28, 2016 Gun-controlled Chicago fast-approaching 800 homicides for 2016

        At first, the 2016 murder figures for gun-controlled Chicago drew attention by hitting 500, which was 32 higher than the total number of murders in 2015. Then the number of murders rose to 700, followed by a Chicago Tribune report that the number of murders between January 1, 2016, and December 6, 2016, hit 731.

      28. Our founding fathers “were” antifa, ask their slaves.

        • Washington and Jefferson were adamant about slaves not owning guns. Smart

        • Gandhi, Huh? Founding fathers were Antifa? The word means anti fascist. But it is used by communists and phony anarchists.

          • Facist is govt conspiring with business. The founding fathers did not like the kings rules about business. The founding slave owners wanted to be facist themselves buy telling their slaves what business they will work in. So the revolutionary war was facist against fascist. Capiche

        Tucker: Next time libs extol virtues of gun-free society, tell them the story of Venezuela. Faced with demands that he relinquish power and hold free elections, President Maduro has decided to unleash armed supporters on his disarmed populace.

      30. April 25, 2017 Americans are no different than Germans were (and are)

        David Bankier, in his 1992 The Germans and the Final Solution: Public Opinion under Nazism, documented this—that the Holocaust came from the top of German society, its leaders, not from the bottom, the masses (such as Goldhagen said).

      31. In fact, one Tienanmen Square survivor, who emigrated and moved to the US, had virtually the exact same words to say about guns, freedom and liberty as those “dead white guys,” the Founding Fathers. His six minute address is at at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=miEmIfhfxuc&feature=player_embedded#t=0s, or, to summarize his salient points:

        ”The power of the government is derived from the consent of the governed.”

        Chinese patriots in Tiananmen were crushed by “AK-47′s” because they could “not fight back” as they “were not armed.”
        The argument “that a man with a rifle has no standing against the military technology and machine of today” is ridiculous. 20,000,000 residents of Beijing would have quickly proved that wrong had they been armed in 1989.

        ”When a government turns criminal, when a government turns deranged, the body count will not be 5, 10, or even 20. It will be in hundreds like Tiananmen Square, it will be in the millions…

        ”When a government has a monopoly on guns, it has absolute power.”

        ”When a government has all the guns, it has all the rights.”
        ”To me, a rifle is not for sporting or hunting. It is an instrument of freedom. It guarantees that I cannot be coerced, that I have free will, that I am a free man.”

        Here is a man we must listen to, unless we want to end up like oppressive China ourselves.

        Hubert Humphrey, Democrat vice president under LBJ said something similar. Here’s his thoughts on guns: “The right of the citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible.”

        Earlier, John F. Kennedy similarly noted, “Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life.”

        The fascist left, in their arrogance and ignorance (always a bad combination) has, as alway, bit off more than they can chew. They WILL lose. And afterwards, barring a change of mind, they will literally be spending an eternity in a literal hell. Arrogance does that to a person.

        • If you want a modern weapon all you have to do is follow the orders of whatever regime is in power. 30 years in the military taught me that.

          • Whose military?

            • Any military

              • Indirect/evasive answer.

        “Americans [have] the right and advantage of being armed, unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust their people with arms”
        – James Madison, considered the father of the US Constitution

        “When a crime is committed, does the gun go to jail?”
        – From BrotherJohn.com

        “Let’s stop playing games. The problem is people, not guns. Our society suffers from a deficiency of personal responsibility – not from an excess of personal freedom.”
        – Star Parker, African American writer and commentator

        “The horrifying truth is this: we live now in a culture that not only does not respect life, but discards it like trash — not only at the beginning of life, but also at the end, and every place in between. What has happened to us?”
        – Catholic Deacon Greg Kandra

        “…we’re also going to make it clear that when a pig gets iced that’s a good thing, and that everyone who considers himself a revolutionary should be armed, should own a gun, should have a gun in his house.”

        “The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule.'”
        | – HL Mencken

        “No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government”
        – Thomas Jefferson, 1 Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

        “The ultimate authority … resides in the people alone. … [T]he advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation … forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any…”
        – James Madison, 1788

        “If, indeed, a firearm were more dangerous to its possessors than to potential aggressors, would it not make sense for the government to arm all criminals, and let them accidentally shoot themselves? Is this absurd? Yes, and yet the government, of course, is arming criminals.”
        – David Mamet, Playwright, author, Pulitzer Prize winner and former leftist.

        “Blaming Newtown on guns is like blaming Chappaquiddick on the Oldsmobile.”

        – Michael Howell

        “Laws that forbid the carrying of arms … disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.”

        “Just as an experiment, I ordered one of my guns to go out and shoot something. It just laid there and did nothing, regardless of how loudly I yelled at it. I concluded that it was an inanimate object and totally insentient, thus incapable of acting on its own.”
        – “Phil Ossifer,” The Daily Sheeple

        • The guns in Judge Dredd are voice activated. Double whammy. But the NRA would never approve.

          • Gandhi, f#$% the NRA. They don’t tell me what I can have.

            • Yes they do

              • Gandhi, no they don’t either. I look at them the same way I look at the gun grabbers. Hell, they work hand-in-hand with the gun grabbers.

                • Braveheart,
                  Previous comments by this “Gandhi” seem to indicate that this person is not what they seem.

                  • Troll? Are you saying I am a Troll! Meh?

      33. Germany had strict gun control before Hitler gained power. Hitler in fact reduced the restrictions on guns, but only for his brown shirts for protection against undesirables (like Jews).

        • Yes and as JFPO pointed out. The USA followed NAZI gun control to the point that even the forms were the same.

      34. Would guess many people in America Would give up their weapons right now. To stay out of jail & live im their homes. And, some may turn you in. That day will not be pleasant.

        • Jim – first, see how many in the fascist state of Connecticut turned in their “assault” rifles. MANY did not. Then find out what the sheriff of the largest county in NY (western NY) did with the vile Gov. Cuomo’s mandate about guns – viz., he refused to enforce it. MANY sheriffs, including the Constitutional Sherifcs Assoc, led by Sheriff Mack, will NOT enforce unconstitutional gun grabs. Nor will many in the military I know.

          Point is, the powers that be have to worry about the MILLIONS of deplorables who will not follow orders to destroy the Constitution. What percentage of the military and sheriffs will that be you ask? Ah, there’s the rub. THAT, mon ami, is up to US, in our non-violent work of educating and informing the public. Point is, the left’s ideas utterly SUCK. That is why they HAVE to lie and use violence. Our ideas have explanatory adequacy. That is why all we need to do is communicate and educate – and why the fascist left FIRST took over the educational system and media. That is why Mac’s site is so important.

          In sum, we communicate and educate, we win. We don’t, we lose.

          • TEST, anyone who gives up their weapons deserves whatever is coming to them. Whoever gives such an order can stuff it. I don’t give up squat.

      35. This gets to the root of the whole thing —
        There has never been a government that banned it’s own ARMED FORCES from “Keeping and Bearing” ARMS.

        Find one government in the history of humanity that felt a need to document a “RIGHT” for it’s ARMED FORCES to possess ARMS.
        Oppressive Governments are ALWAYS banning the People’S RIGHTS to arms.
        The claim that the Founding Fathers wrote the 2nd Amendment to give Our ARMED FORCES a “right” to keep and carry ARMS is S-T-U-P-I-D.
        The only reason for the Second Amendment is to clearly spell-out the GOD GIVEN RIGHT of INDIVIDUALS to keep & bear ARMS.
        The only reason for the BILL(list) of RIGHTS was to codify INDIVIDUALS’ GOD GIVEN RIGHTS.
        Has there ever been a government that was not chock full of it’s “rights” up to and including declaring itself to be the Lord God Almighty?! (Rome, Egypt, Israel,etc)
        Does the 1st Amendment mean the GOVERNMENT is allowed to give speeches? Try shutting up any Politician. But THEY would LOVE to shut YOU up, hence the FIRST Amendment.
        Anyone who tells you the 2nd Amendment applies to the Army or State Militia, is telling you they think you are STUPID.
        There has NEVER been a government that felt it had to codify it’s army’s/soldier’s “RIGHT” to “Keep and BEAR ARMS” because there has NEVER been a government that refused to allow It’s own soldiers to KEEP and BEAR ARMS!
        The Second Amendment was given to the People, like all the other rights in the Bill or Rights. This was confirmed by the SCOTUS in the DC vs Heller decision, where they stated that the “People” in the Second Amendment were the same “People” that are mentioned in the First and Fourth Amendment.
        The 2nd Amendment clearly guarantees the “right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms”, and certainly not “the Militia”.
        Why would “the Militia”, a type of army manned by citizen-soldiers as opposed to full-time “regulars”, need a constitutional amendment to guarantee they have the right “to keep and bear arms”?
        Is there any specific statement anywhere in the Constitution that the army Congress is empowered to raise has the “right to keep and bear arms”?

        Of course not.

        That is assumed.

        It is implicit in the nature of all kinds of armies —- be they militia or regulars, volunteer, conscripted, or mercenary — to be armed.
        They are all “armed forces”.
        They all “bear arms”.
        They all carry guns.
        That is what they do.
        It certainly no more requires an amendment to the Constitution to state that “the Militia” has the RKBA , than a specific statement that the army Congress is empowered to raise may be manned by armed troops.

        “The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals … it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government … it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen’s protection against the government.” Ayn Rand

        • Doesn’t matter, the NRA members would vote to put you in the electric chair if you ever used your rights by actually fighting.

      36. One thing I give cops credit for when they are not flash banging a baby’s ? face off or framing you and steeling your property through forfeiture laws is that in Colorado they are not usually enforcing that €ucking high cap magazine ban.

        • You mean the standard capacity magazine ban.

      37. The sad part is the folks against the dictatorship in Venezuela may be armed by outside forces who are in the long run just as bad,history keeps repeating said mistakes,that said,folks there arm up,fight for your country.

        As for the US really doesn’t matter at this point whether govt. wants citizens armed or not,horse left the barn and traveled far and wide on that one!As always,firearms are just one of many weapons in the arsenal for citizens,hell,a good ole DC-9 could be a very useful weapon!

      38. Sigh,…….,meant D9,typing too quick,my proofreading skills lacking badly lately!

        • Venezuelans are using wrist rockets. Sad?

          • I killed a lot of birds and small mammals with a wrist rocket, when I was younger. My brother worked at a electrical motor re-builder factory and I’d get the old bearings. If I hit a person in the head with one of the larger ones(10-12 mm), you’d be going down.

            • If you shot a wrist rocket at the Feds you would end up like Joe Stack
