OK, fine. I am not pacifist. I am 100% pro-gun as anyone on this forum. I understand and believe in the reasons the Founding Fathers put the 2A in the Bill of Rights. And yes, God does permit us to use force, even deadly force, when needed to defend the innocent (including ourselves). But there is a big difference between defending ourselves against thugs versus organizing an armed showdown with the State, which is just a recipe for disaster.
A lot of folks on this forum have a negative view of police. I also have a low view of most police in the post-9/11 era. But don't lose track of the scorecard, here -- first, the Feds came in and militarized local police in order to lure them on board with their long-run anti-gun strategy. The goal was (and remains) to up-armor the local cops in exchange for political alignment with DC's goals (stripping citizens of gun rights). The gun-grabbers explained their strategy well before 9/11 and the language of the Patriot Act was in place well before 9/11. The point of this legislation was to attract as many bullies as possible into the police services... all the excessive power, money and boom-boom toys was like a giant bully-magnet sucking in the worst-of-the-worst into US police services.
But policing itself is not the problem. All you have to do is look at places without police and places with police to see the difference. You can have safety without police. But you won't have a clean, efficient, well-organized urban environments without police. The Patriot Act and all things associated with it are, ultimately, an attack on police themselves! How? Well, look at the long-run outcome ... first, you put the police services on steroids, hype them up into junkyard-dog headspace, then set them loose on the public. They bang, bruise, and bullet the public at large until a large bloc of citizens -- not just the poor riff-raff, but even the "respectable folk" -- have either gotten tased, knocked over the head or know somebody who has. People get sick of the criminal abuse by cops and then start calling for insane stuff like "Defund the Police!" If your goal is to unleash 322 Skull-and-Bones Purge Anarchy onto a nation, that is exactly how you do it...
It's time to start seeing the world in 3D and stop reducing everything to Left-Right politics. Yes, you can defend yourself. But organizing a campaign to resist the government by force is absurd and self-defeating. At best, you just replace the ruling junta with a new junta. That is History 101, and the history books are overflowing with endless examples...

In the minds of these maniacs, all property is State property. You're just allowed to pay rent on it in the form of taxes, registration fees, and so on. "You [foolish masses] consider yourselves lucky to be loaned your own property" (Politics of Obedience, Etienne de la Boetie, written circa 1550). It's a mindset in certain people. I don't even think they can actually help it. But the politicians sure know how to help them out of their property (and the rest of us, along with them)...

Sure you can...I live in such a community. Not one local cop on the payroll.
You cannot live like that in a modern, cosmopolitan pressure cooker of "diversity" where you throw together all manner of cultures, ethnicities and religions, many of whom despise each other, and expect it to work without a heavy handed government and police presence.
But that's a discussion for another time.

That's exactly the "gun culture" I was taking about pages ago.
Even if not one in ten thousand people are willing to pick up those arms and use them to purpose for which they were designed, our oppressors can not be sure about that.
The fact is that there are about 400 million guns and 10 billion rounds of ammo out there, and they cannot be positive it won't get turned on them.
Explains why they are pushing the research on "super bugs".
And that has kept them in check to a certain degree.

I expect North men to be tough.. but have been Honestly impressed by some of the Girls on the Front Lines.
Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

"Government ... does not exist of necessity, but rather by virtue of a tragic, almost comical combination of klutzy, opportunistic terrorism against sitting ducks whom it pretends to shelter, plus our childish phobia of responsibility, praying to be exempted from the hard reality of life on life's terms." Wolf DeVoon
