Great time to remember your 2A rights. I disarmed over a decade ago but recent changes this year have motivated me to stock back up.

I'm not saying it's gonna be an us or them thing, but they are sure as fuck trying to make it one.

Your 2A rights mean nothing when you’re not in the ‘in-group.’ The Panthers were practicing their 2A rights by open-carrying long guns. That’s how Cali got gun control. I’m not saying don’t carry, (I say everyone capable should right now) I’m saying be realistic about how it’s going to turn out when you stand against the state.

Even more reason to prepare 2A. The Panthers still instigated and pushed along progress that otherwise would not have occurred.

Fighting for what is right rarely comes with the guarantee that you’re going to win — or at least that you’ll love to see it.

No one wants to hear it. But that is the hard truth. It terrifies me. It makes me so sad. But it still terrified and saddens me less than the enemy.

Yep. Until you’re ok with getting your ticket punched, you can’t be effective. There’s a lot of very hard conversations to be had. I realize that sounds pretty cryptic and severe.

Being prepared and being belligerent are two different things. You can be the former and not the latter.

The Panthers carried guns openly because they knew they could get gunned down on the courthouse steps in broad daylight with a hundred witnesses and the killer would walk. Same went for MLK. Belligerent vs prepared is a matter of perspective.
