REVOLUTION REVISITED
On November 29th, 2007 I posted an article that I had written, “NO REVOLUTION-YET”.
At the time I certainly didn’t expect to see what I have seen on TV today in London during the G20 Meetings.
When I wrote that article I had only considered economics– Money.
I forgot about, or really never thought that I would need to consider, another equally important reason for revolution.
That is the loss of freedom. I had always expected that to be a constant and an absolute in the US. but events are changing the rules of the game.
I had expected a relatively stable middle-class but the concept of the loss of personal freedom is changing that. People have very little faith in their future now.
Guns and ammunition, the tools of revolution, are flying off the shelves as fast as they are stocked.
The masses are in a state of both economic and emotional depression.
If the people lose confidence in our government’s ability to deal with the multiple problems facing the country will revolution become a possibilty?
If the government feels itself threatened will it result in an attempt to confiscate weapons and declare martial law?
If so will there be a revolution?
Well, I don’t know how sales are going in CT but down here in Georgia they are going hell bent for leather. Walmart can’t keep 9mm shells in stock. As soon as a case comes in it’s out the door PDQ!
They had Smith & Wesson’s 9mm stacked ten deep behind the counter at the local gun store and they were selling like the devil.
Not that I’m too worried. The first line of defense is the burglar alarm that is set every night. That would scare off most determined people. The second line of defense is our 102# Doberman who doesn’t take nicely to door wiggling in the middle of the night and will with bared teeth be waiting to greet you.
Now should you be both determined and stupid and get through the dog there then awaits a S&M 9mm sixteen shot pistol staring you in the face from the first baloney.
The scene then becomes a very loud siren screaming in your ear, A 100# Doberman biting at your ass and a 9mm S&W pointed right at you mid section.
One last bit of advice. Take you car keys to bed with you each night and set them on the nightstand. I you here something suspicious going on just press the panic button on the key chain and the horn will take off like a banshee. (You might want to read know to turn it off before you turn it on.)
Parting question – Unemployment is going to 10% at least. That is going to start bring disparate out of the woodwork. ARE YOU PREPARED?
The four rules of gun safety:
1 The gun is always loaded; treat it like it is
2 Keep you finger off the trigger till you’re ready to use it.
3 Know where at all time where the muzzle is pointing
4 Before you fire check the target background that you don’t shot somebody innocently.
I say, Darrell, your suggestion about taking the car keys with you each night at bedtime and if something is amiss, then pressing the panic button on its key chair to set off your car’s horn to sound like a banshee as an alarm is a hell of a good idea! Thank you.

A reply to Darrell & Stan:
who would have thought that it would have come to this….in “The land of the free and the home of the brave.”???
da best. Keep it going! Thank you
Hi! I like your srticle and I would like very much to read some more information on this issue. Will you post some more?
It’s a pity that people don’t realize the importance of this information. Thanks for posing it.
I thank you for your comments.
It is unfortunate that people embrace the concept of change so eagerly.
Change can be of great benefit to those who are very oppressed and have nothing to lose but if a people have freedom of choice to live as they wish and express themselves as they wish then change and revolution can only bring disappointment at best and chaos at worse.

Excellent read, I just passed this onto a colleague who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile So let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!
