He's too insane for a gun board:
Sez I: “They are ignorant, arrogant and armed but they want to live to draw a pension. Its guys like you, with your ‘lions, and tigers and bears, oh my’ attitude who encourage their depredations.”
Sez you: “So you’re suggesting if we threaten to kill them, they will back off? Sorry, I’m not willing to cross that Rubicon at this point in time. I think 99% of pro-gun activists are with me on that one.”
Oh, you are certainly correct about “with me on that one.” Freedom has ever been defended by a tiny yet determined minority. I have never suggested that “we threaten to kill them.” But the code I have always written of, and lived my life by, is that of a free man — I will not be arrested by people who have shown that they operate a criminal enterprise under color of law. If I tell them, as I have, that I have broken no law so I will not be arrested, they may take whatever uncertainty in their own minds as that may be regarding their own safety in accomplishing my demise. I have no need to spell it out. I DO have need to raise the spectre, so that they understand the Law of Unintended Consequences is in effect before they violate it. All of criminal deterrence, private assault or governmental tyranny, is based on the creation of such uncertainty.
If the ATF violates the law as they have repeatedly in the Olofson case, why then have they not done it to everyone at once? Law does not restrain them — No rule or court order. They act with impunity, bureaucratically speaking. What congress will hold a hearing now? Who will cut off their funding? Who will discipline them? But you stay safe, for now, because other rough men are willing to risk doing defensive violence on your behalf, to paraphrase Orwell. Because THEY fear the consequences, the UNINTENDED consequences, of catching one of US on a bad day.
Back in the 90s, my good friend Bob Wright of the 1st Brigade New Mexico Militia was asked by his FBI SAC if he would really go to the aid of some future Waco-like victim in another state. He retorted, “Why would I want to do that? There’s plenty of you federal SOBs around here.” I had similar conversations here in Alabama. This was a perspective the Fibbies had not considered. Did they try to use weak-minded fools to entrap us, to set us up, on Class 3 and DD raps? Yes, more than once. Did they try to get in our faces and intimidate us? Yes, more than once. Did they visit my house, as they did to scare poor old anonymous (and apyly named) “sayUncle”? They didn’t dare. Because I told them in advance, in public, what MY “rules of engagement” were. The uncertainty in their own minds did the rest.
Now they are in a lose-lose situation. They cannot frame me without killing me, and to do so would merely guarantee that EVERYTHING I’ve ever written would get read by a much larger audience. If they do nothing about me pointing out that not only is their a merely a man behind their curtain, but he lacks both clothes and cojones, they look ridiculous and impotent. Read some of what I have written:
What Good Can a Handgun do Against an Army?
“Kill all they send . . ”
The Window War
Untouchable
Absolved
and especially the recent “Resistance.”
I have given them abundant reason to come after me and still they do not. Why? Because I have given them equally abundant cause to fear that they might be busted by the Law of Unintended Consequences. As the Olofson case demonstrates, it is the only law which still obtains in this country. And your worried about them coming to your house? Oooooooh….
If I may, let me suggest a line from the movie Silverado that applies to y’all. The evil Sheriff is standing in the street, waiting for the final showdown. A townsman comes up to him and aska what’s happening. The Sheriff tells him, “Hide and watch.” This is good advice for you cheesers, who won’t even risk being associated with an innocent man. Hide and watch. But don’t try to kid yourselves or anybody else that you are “gun rights activists.” You don’t have the stones for it.
