Ron Paul's Rifles - photos only please!

[slacker921]

no.. I just dug down 10 posts on Digg pointing out the extremists on this forum.
I know exactly what I'm saying. If the delegates in St. Paul do by some miracle manage to push Paul into the spotlight there then you'll see the images here used by the media to show how radical and extreme his supporters are. The media will attack Paul by saying it's a small and extreme portion of society that wants him elected - not the majority.

Nevermind that tens of thousands of other average Joe's have been on this forum and posted roughly a million posts - they'll have these images to show how scary and extreme the Ron Paul supporters are. You know how the media works. I do not agree with them, and I don't like what they do, but they will do it if given half a chance.

Extremist?

Because a well-armed citizenry is the best Homeland Security, and can better deter crime, invasion, terrorism, or tyranny...The intention of this MichiganMilitia.com website is to inform, promote and facilitate the development and training of the militia. Everyone is welcome, regardless of race, creed, color, tint, or hue; regardless of your religion (or lack thereof); regardless of your political affiliation (or lack thereof, with this caveat: If you intend to bring harm or destruction to our fellow citizens, you are NOT welcome); regardless of anything else: if you are a US Citizen or have declared your intent to become such, who is capable of bearing arms, or wishes to support someone doing so, then you ARE the militia...

The extremists are those that would disarm the citizens.
The extremists are those that attack, invade, and threaten other sovereign nations.
The extremists are those that trample the Constitution in the name of security.

These are extremists.

You know only the words of slavery and fear and use them in your defense of the indefensible.

Ron Paul's pacifist political strategy is part of his current platform, the delegates going to the RNC will determine the slate, this fight for freedom is a lot bigger than Ron Paul and certainly bigger than a fear mongering useful idiot.

all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Since when is it extreme to own a gun, and be able to use it? Approximately 100 million Americans own guns.

Do you believe that Bill of Rights Article 2 affords an individual right as important as the Article 1 which enables you to state your opinion, even though you might be dead wrong? The right to bear arms gives teeth to your right to speak freely.

Do you really believe that an armed citizenry is a detriment to liberty?

I have been a Ron Paul supporter going on ten years. Who were you supporting ten years ago?

I have a sworn duty to protect MY president, and I will do my best to do so.

Perhaps you don't believe in self-protection, and that is your right, but please don't spew your politically correct chunks in my direction and spray that lawful, Patriotic gun owners (who actually know how to use their tools) are somehow a threat to a campaign which has already been maligned by the media, and even the Republican party.

The men and women you refer to as extremists are We the People, they are my brethren and they have earned my utmost respect due to their willingness to give all for liberty. These are military veterans and private citizens who are fully committed to a peaceful election process, and as history so often dictates, peace is only accessible to those with superior firepower, and the ability to deliver it when the need arises.

You are always welcome to train with us, for We are the People.

hello media!
Please ignore the almost 1,000,000 other banal posts to this site and look only at these pics of the scary looking guns that Ron Paul supporters own. Ignore that the instigator of this has a very low post count and so just recently joined to push this survivalist meme. Yes, these people are pictured with signs that say "revolution" so it's ok to say "whew.. good thing he's a longshot and didn't get the nomination because they were planning on a real revolution".. and it's ok for the homeland security folks to go ahead and put his donors on their lists since these kooks are obviously planning some heavy duty shit.

Owning a gun is one of the basic rights in this country. I'm a defensive pacifist, meaning that I won't go after anyone, but I will defend myself. It took me a long time to come around to guns, even after being held up at gunpoint by three men.

It's a matter of being self-sufficient and responsible for myself. I have a dog who would rip the entrails out of anyone who broke in also, is that also crazy? I've lived by myself off and on for a while, and my dog helped protect me from some drunken freak. A gun would have also. I've also had a stalker--you really think the police can protect you from someone who is determined to find you? Is it really so insane that I should want a shotgun and a handgun? Crime happens when you least expect it and if it happened to me in a nice suburb of a small town, it can certainly happen to anyone else.

I used to live in Baltimore, one of the highest crime-rate cities in the world. A family that was trying to reverse the crime trend and refused to give up their neighborhood to the drug dealers by calling them in to the police was targeted by the dealers to be executed. The entire family, Mom, Dad and their 5 or 6 children were executed and the house was burned to the ground. The message: the drug dealers have control and if you rise up against them, you and your family will die.

Nobody was convicted.

If mom and dad had guns, they would have been able to defend their family. The cops couldn't do it when every dealer was after them. They may have been able to save their family and gone on to promote real change in an American war zone.

What kind of message would that have sent? 8 dead drug dealers rather than 8 dead good people. The neighborhood improves immensely and a message is sent to the dealers.

A hypothetical situation, of course, but which one do you prefer? The one where people like me and that Baltimore family are victims, or one where we take responsibility and take care of ourselves?

Seeing this post about what the media would think reminds me of a story about a slaughter house worker getting pissed off at a stubborn cow. He pushed at it and said "get up that chute or I'll kill you!".

In other words it makes no difference. The media is not going on what they see, but how they are told to interpret it.

But I will not let this thread get derailed!

GET BACK ON TOPIC!

M1A 's

 

[colecrowe]

I used an M14 for my first 4 months in Iraq. Cool. We broke them out of their vietnam-era crates.

The camouflage pattern is called German Flectarn, and works very well in rain forest and dense woodlands, especially redwoods.

I'm diggin' the Yugo with grenade sights!

By the way this image:

Might be the result of one of these:

They are putting Eotechs on flare/grenade launchers. This makes them more than a launcher! They are not supposed to shoot people with these things.

Can it double as one of those bean bag launchers?

ALS3705
Interlocking Rubber Batons (3 batons), (37/40mm)

Description: The most advanced direct fire 37/40 mm round available. It was designed for the Marine Corps and fires three each, 21gram, 35 durometer rubber projectiles at 260 fps +/- 20 fps. This round was designed for single or multiple target engagement allowing escalation of force from a safe distance prior to use of lethal means.

Background: The INTERLOCKING RUBBER BATON ROUND was developed to overcome the shortcomings of conventional rubber ammunition. Most rubber ammunition is designed to be skip fired off the ground into the target. This form of firing can be adversely affected by snow, mud, and soft grassy terrain. The INTERLOCKING RUBBER BATON is designed as a direct fire, behavior modification round which is fired using conventional target acquisition techniques. The INTERLOCKING RUBBER BATON can also be skip fired in close proximity situations.

Know your enemy.

hey.. I didn't say I was against you all owning guns at all. I'm very much for your right to own guns. Hate the messenger if you want, but do understand that the media will use some of these photos against Ron Paul and they'll find them after a quick search on Google.

Virtue is not the vice the media attempts to make of it, patriotic Americans honoring their oath to the constitution and supporting Ron Paul is not a negative.

The best defense is a good offense, the r3VO_|ution succeeds by leading the way not by apologizing and accepting the enemies slander.

I am sure that has already been done.

 

[Dequeant]

Isn't the whole point of the 2nd to scare the government away from becomming tyrannical?

So wouldn't it be retarded to act like that isn't the case? I mean, I've been on this forum for a long time and i'd like to think i'm above the whole "troll status", but I think the government SHOULD know there are people ready and willing to fight should they turn tyrannical and oppressive. I mean.......isn't that the point?

[tommyzDad]

Nice bangsticks, madengr. How are you liking that Knoxx Spec-Ops Stock.? I'm looking forward to getting one for my 870.

 

[madengr]

The Knoxx stock is great. I could shoot slugs all day without bruising. That said, I can't see not having this thing for those 8-hour classes where you will be putting 100's of rounds down range.

However my wife does not like it. I have long arms so I shoot with the stock fully extended. If you collapse the stock you have a good chance of getting smacked in the cheek, especially getting a solid cheek weld with a plain front bead like mine. I believe ghost rings or optics may solve that problem, but I don't have a problem so I may just keep it plain.

I would also like to get the PowerPak shell holder since I have no way of holding slugs, but that definitely looks like it may exacerbate the smacking problem. They say it comes with two cheek pieces though. It may also block the sling slot where I have my 2-point attached.

They also sell a long ball-end hex driver for $8. In hindsight I wish I had bought this but I was able to get the stock on with a standard hex key, it took a long time though. That, along with some blue lok-tite and you will be good to go.

I used to live in Falls Church and grew up in Winchester. Will get betting back to NoVA to see my mom and attend the march.
