I happened on this discussion about ten months after the last cmment, and still find it as an issue today like then. During the time frame os the original posting I did experience the difficulty of purchasing ammo. In fact one large store was depleted of all hand gun ammo except for one box of .357 hollow points which I bought. I think that crisis is over for rigt now. But I wanted to mention something I’ll never forget. Back during the confirmation hearin of Senator John Ashcroft for U.S. Attorney General (would that we had him now in place,of the sorry excuse,Eric Holder, Senator Ashcraft stated in testimony that the 2nd Amendment was mainly given to us to protect ourselves from a tyranica government. When Ted Kennedy heard thi he leaned forward with a sneer on his face, that I’ll never forget and asked; “Do you mean you’d be afraid of us? I don’t remember what Ashcrft answered, but I remember I was thinking, YES SENATOR KENNEDY, I’m very much afraid of what you and your bunch could do to us if we were all unarmed. All one has to do is look back in history and see what was done to an unarmed citizenry. In closing I want to share with you an article.

Newspaper interview in the Berlin Daily dated
April 15, 1935, page 3, article 2, written by
Einleitung Von Eberhand.
“This year will go down in history. For the first
time a civilized nation has full gun registration.
Our streets will be safer, our polce more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into
the future.”

– Adolph Hitler

what do the oathkeepers have to do with refusing to mass vaccinate the public, and to quarantine those who refuse. will the world health organization gain control of our military and law enforcement if they declare high level global emergency?

You know that it is a small percentage right now and hopefully growing that will be on the side of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. It will be like our founding fathers opposing the British all over again! The 2nd Revolutionary War is about to begin. All it will take is a false flag event or financial colapse or something else that will force martial law upon us. When it happens, it will be the bloodiest War to ever be fought on this Earth. The American Patriot will not give up til dead and the brain dead globalist army will fight like a dumb animal til dead. Unfortuantely, most of those brain dead globalist soldiers will be former US citizens. The day they shoot at their first Patriot defending the US Constitution makes them enemy of the United States Of America. As soon as the first soldier shoots at a Patriot defending the US Constitution, Every officer and government official supporting that shot is enemy of the United States of America. They may have already shot that first shot or supported that first shot and they may already be guilty of treason. When that war starts, then it will be official, the now US Government will no longer be the US Government. They will be the Globalist Government and the real US Government will be those defending the US Constitution. It will not only be a Revolutionary War but also a Civil War all in one. Every US Citizen right now needs to make a decision. Are you a US Citizen or a Global Citizen of the United Nations? You need to pick a side, for there will be no in between.

Mr. MacLeod, you are an embarassment if not an offense to other American Scots as well as to me as a Christian and a member of Oath Keepers, and to those legitimate Christian historians like David Barton of Wallbuilders, Peter Marshall, Jr., Dr. Marshall Foster of the Mayflower Institute, Dr. Gary DeMar of American Vision, Doug Phillips of Vision Forum Ministries and many others who study, know and teach the truth of the founding of this nation. Before you blurt a reply, read “Christianity and the American Commonwealth” by Charles Galloway, and “The Christian Life and Character of the Civil Institutions of the United States”, by Benjamin F. Morris.

“We also needto be aware that foreign countries are watching us, and will be happy to take advantage of the divisions within our ranks.”

I don’t know about that one. They have to know that if they used an incident like that to invade, the government AND the citizens would both, or all, turn on them in a heartbeat. I don’t think there’s anybody that stupid out there. My concern about foreigners is the UN. Has anyone else heard that there are a lot of UN troops already here and staying on bases for the time being? UN troops would have no trouble at all with disarming US citizens; they don’t think any citizens should ever be armed. They’d have no problem with shooting the ones who refused either.

I had to answer this: “the constitution was written by and for people who first of all loved the God of the Bible and His Son Jesus Christ.”

Preacher, read your history, read the writings of the Founders. Yes, Jefferson and a couple of others said it was for a moral people, and some mentioned God. Then, as now. there were some who wanted to legislate the Bible into secular law – and it was voted down by a large majority! Saying “godly” means Christian to you because you are Christian. I am NOT, and I resent and challenge your statement that people must be Christians in order to be moral or ethical! The people who are causing all of this evil and destruction also claim to be Christians, and more sheer evil has been done in the name of God than anything else! Your idea that all military must become Christian in order to make a moral decision (and I believe you mean ethical) is exactly the same kind of dangerous, anti-American cant the Neocons are preaching. The Founders were, for the most part Deists, not Christians. Jefferson himself believed that A religion was a good thing, but he fiercely believed in the separation of church and state because he’d seen what happens when the church IS the state.

You God Squaders need to understand that people don’t have to be Christians in order to have morals or to behave ethically, and if you push that viewpoint, you’re already halfway on the other side because it immediately becomes a question of whose version of Christianity you’re going to use. The one Bush uses, or Hagee, Pat Buchanan or Michael Ledeen? They have millions of followers, and they are the ones pushing for the destruction of a secular United States and the extermination of those who disagree. Think again please, and read some more. Be a good Christian, I have no problem with that. I have no argument with anything Jesus had to say, but I have some real serious issues with some of His fan club!

Most Sincerely,

it is very hard to stand alone. if they decide to take the guns from the people it will be one at a time and their are more police and military that will obey their orders to strip the people of their guns then their are oath keepers. a strong organized militia is needed to respond to patriots that will be besieged by police or military rounding up arms from the people. look at Wako, well armed people pinned in their complex, they didn’t have a chance. how many will watch gov. control TV news? reporting extremist hold up in a home and all the time it be a patriot defending his rights and family against the gov.. all my life i have worked hard, paid my tax’s raised my kids and tried to do the right things. but if they came for my guns and i choose to make a stand, the gov. controlled news reports would show me as a nut, a extremist and people would go on with their life after it was all over. who would come to a nuts cry of injustice?
you have to belong to a militia have to be with people that know you and what you stand for. it be much different if they came for your guns and the whole town came out to stand with you,doctors,bankers store clerks ext. and every minute more people showed up armed to make whatever agency is their to take your guns back off. that’s what is needed to protect your rights.( 1 twig is easily broken but a dozen becomes quit hard to brake). i am an oath keeper and a patriot.

[...] Because the Americans fear what is to come from this government- guns sales are up since beginning of the year- and especially the street cops are buying assault rifles before they are banned- and they dont intend to use them against the American people either- http://oathkeepers.org/oath/2009/06/24/commentary-four-reasons-why-gun-sales-are-up/ [...]

We regular citizens are very grateful for the fact that some of our police and military are on board for the Constitution and this country. The politicians are the ones that should be getting prepared. We also needto be aware that foreign countries are watching us, and will be happy to take advantage of the divisions within our ranks.
