Dear Mr. Security Agent

H/T: Western Rifle Shooters Association


This is a long read but a good read. I know it taps directly into the sentiment of many of us here at IAL.  Do read the whole thing, but especially the excerpt quoted below.


Quote
I am telling you now that disastrous unintended consequences will happen if Congress passes new laws banning presently legal firearms. To make it very easy to remember, and in the spirit of our beloved Department of Homeland Security’s old color-coded security threat levels, let me spell out three lines of demarcation.

The Yellow Line:

The yellow warning line will be crossed with national gun registration laws, including laws forbidding private gun sales without government permission. When that law passes, millions of Americans will feel that they have been pushed directly to the edge of the abyss above the mass graves of history. Defenders of the Second Amendment know what happened in Turkey, the USSR, Germany, China, and other nations that fell under totalitarian rule: in every case a necessary preliminary step on the road to genocide was national gun registration, followed by confiscation. The Jewish survivors of the Nazi Holocaust say, “Never again!” And so do we.

The Red Line:

The red line will be crossed with the passage of laws mandating that currently owned weapons, ammunition magazines, and ammunition quantities above a certain number must be turned in to authorities or destroyed, and thereafter their simple possession will be a felony. At that point, the nation will be on a hair trigger, with a thousand flaring matches nearing a thousand primed cannon fuses aimed directly at the next Fort Sumter.

The Dead Line:

The next line requires a bit of history to explain. In some primitive Civil War POW camps, where lack of funding or logistical constraints did not allow the construction of proper fences, a knee-high continuous railing of wooden slats encircled the prison grounds. Guards with rifles were positioned at the corners and in crude towers. If a prisoner so much as stepped over the narrow plank, he was shot dead without warning, obviating the need for a real fence to contain him. Hence the term “dead line.” Cross the line and people die, right now.

And this is what liberal utopians must understand: after passing the yellow line with national gun registration and transfer requirements, and the red line by making possession of currently legal firearms felonious, the dead line will be breached with the first SWAT raids upon citizens suspected of owning legal firearms made illegal by the new gun control laws. People will die resisting confiscation, in large numbers.

Confiscation crosses the dead line, make no mistake about it.

So this essay is really for you, Mr. Security Agent, because it won’t be elite Manhattan or Malibu liberals or Ivy League professors or politicians or columnists who will be ordered to strap on the sweat-stained body armor and enforce the new gun control laws at gunpoint. No, that grim task will fall to you.

But as long as you are an honorable agent of the people while an employee of the government, and as long as you honor your oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, then you will encounter no problems at all with gun owners. Why? Because you will refuse to take part in gun confiscation raids. Period. End of sentence, end of paragraph.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is the leading American law enforcement agency, at least in terms of its long history and high prestige. Dear Mr. Security Agent, please consider that F.B.I. also stands for Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity. Soon, your fidelity to your solemnly sworn oath may be severely tested. It will take a lot of bravery to make your personal integrity a higher calling than following illegitimate orders, simply to maintain your steady paycheck and benefits.

On the other hand, if you no longer resemble the upstanding and honorable federal agents I have known in the past, if that whole oath-to-the-Constitution shtick was a big fat joke to you and you would accept a transfer to the old Soviet KGB or East German Stasi for a ten percent pay raise…then we are definitely going to have a problem. So that oath you swore really matters, one way or the other, and so does your personal sense of honor.

Dear Mr. Security Agent, let me spell it out. If you find yourself in the sub-basement of an annex to a secret intelligence center on the far end of town, waterboarding citizens into revealing the locations of suspected “illegal caches” of firearms, ammunition or ammunition magazines that were legally owned in 2012, then know this one simple fact: tens of millions of Americans will most surely consider you a betrayer of your sworn oath and a traitor to your country.

And so, if you find yourself silently dismounting a covert SWAT vehicle at zero-dark-thirty, dressed all in body armor, counting down to the time-coordinated explosion of battering rams and flash-bang grenades, on a raid against a sleeping household intended to result in the confiscation of firearms, ammunition or ammunition magazines that were legal to own in 2012, millions of Americans who also swore an oath to defend the Constitution will consider you their domestic enemy, and they will resist you with force of arms. Just as the soldiers of King George were resisted on another notable gun confiscation raid on April 19, 1775. It used to be called “The Shot Heard ’Round the World.”

You may consider the sentiments expressed above to be absurd, hyperbolic, dangerous, ridiculous, or simply wrong-headed. But please understand that tens of millions of Americans feel this way to their cores, and they will not be disarmed without a fight. Well-meaning but naive liberals should understand the certain-to-follow consequences of new gun control laws intended to disarm their fellow citizens in the name of “public safety.” LEOs and FLEAs should understand the dire consequences of participating in gun confiscation raids, in direct violation of their sworn oaths to uphold the Constitution, including the Second Amendment.

The unintended consequences of this misguided utopian fool’s crusade to ban guns would include a second civil war as agonizingly painful as the first one, if not more so, since there would be no front lines and no safe areas for anybody, anywhere. Every sane American wants to prevent such a calamitous outcome as a “dirty civil war” on United States soil.

But know this: those tens of millions will never be quietly disarmed and then later forced at government gunpoint onto history’s next boxcars. If boxcars and detention camps are to be in America’s future, then you, Mr. Security Agent, will have to disarm them the hard way first. Not Piers Morgan, not Michael Moore, not Rosie O’Donnell, not Dianne Feinstein, not Chuck Schumer.

You.

Scary,  stuff!   

Popular opinion may have finally turned on the anti-gunners at the moment,  so some may rest thinking the battle is turning,  but it hasn't slowed unconstitutional gun grabbing in blue or purple states (registration is gun grabbing in my book).    Events like the school shooting in Conn have actually pushed public opinion towards the second amendment finally as people are finally waking up to the stupidity of "gun free zones".   It may be a battle that liberals do lose,  but you know they will be back,  as they never rest. 

However,   all it will take is one event spun the correct way by the lamestream (the feds won't even have to do it),  that will undo years of progress in the opinion making (though the constitution is not up for "popular" opinion in my book, but that won't matter in the "new" world).   Just look at the gay rights movement,  it seemed like they were making little to no progress,  but all of a sudden,  it seems that the public has turned towards them and all kinds of things happened in short order.   There wasn't even an single defining event (like a tea partier executing a gay in public or something) outside of the election of Barry Obama (who held up the farce of being against gay marriage until it was safe to show his true colors).   

It will be an event like  the stadium scenario,  as most major league sports have taken hard lines against legal carried guns at games (the NFL and MLB have come out and banned guns at games in all stadiums).   It won't need to be the super bowl or the world series, since all games have plenty of TV cameras,   but a game where "security" will be far less.   Some patsy will be happy to fill the role,  as he is disposable and will likely not survive the event.    This event may be coming sooner then we think,  as they will panic if its clear that people want to stamp out "gun free zones".   

But it may not even take an event like that.  Waiting may be enough.

Success will only come if enough law enforcement,  military and other government agencies personnel are brainwashed enough to follow orders.    We can see what the Obama regime has done to the military as they know the military will probably not go along on it yet.   Unless many realize that they are as disposable for no good reason as well,  many orders will be followed blindly.    They will bear the brunt of the early casualties as the first that resist will be better shots. 

One big advantage we do have against the forces of evil,  is the fact,  that liberals don't like being ordinary soldiers and police officers (well unless they can be chiefs of big city departments or they can be generals or at least colonels).   Up until recently even most non-white soldiers rarely left the service liberal.    Though that's why the non-military domestic "security" forces are being built as the real military is slimmed down.   Though they will get few "pajamas boys" to serve so plenty of patsies will be needed.

And the election of  Barry Sorento has done something no other president in recent history has done.   Of course it may be part of their "plan"(racists buying guns).   More people then ever are buying their first guns, including many women and minorities.   Most are learning to shoot them as well,  as they know they may need to know how they work. 

The thing is,  if the masses finally wake up and see that the liberal elite want to enslave everybody,  not just rednecks,  the plans will fail.   Will history finally "change"  or will history just repeat itself this time........ Odds are on repeat unfortunately, as many are already living on the plantation.
