The Hero of the day will be the one who wakes up, realizes this is true, and finds the solution.
That hero will not be me, because I've racked my brains for the last few years trying to find a way out of this....nothing.
And so, after this rather depressing post, I put to all of you....
Who can find a way to make our youth realize what has slipped away.
Who can stop thinking about what finish to adorne their AR with and spend that time discovering how to make the next generation carry the torch?
Who can be selfless enough to stop dreaming of Ruby Ridge scenarios and fight for an unpublished battle of changing the way the masses feel freedom?
Easy right?
Let me ask all of you this...
Would you, right now, if given the opportunity, give every firearm you own to a kid you knew would fight for freedom and never get them, or any weapon back?
If that took you more than 2 seconds to think about, then you were playing the wrong game and lost.
There are no qualifiers to that. There's no "Oh, my kid will inherit them"... I mean any good kid who you knew understood freedom..RIGHT NOW.
The exercise here is not about the legalities of giving away firearms...it's actually not about giving anything away at all.
It's a demonstration of how we think about freedom and our role in it.
Most people have a clouded view of what the value of their weapons are. I am no different.
For some reason, the main value is often the "cool" factor...admit it.
I have more, and better, and blacker, so I'm cooler. I fit in, I'm stronger, they like me...etc.
It amazes me how thoughts cross *my* mind (yes, I'll take this one alone) of how sorry I'd be to loose all my guns, or my right to own them if I made a stand for freedom.
Instead, I'll sit around and wait for the big revolution and boy..I'll be like a Commander or something with *MY* arsenal. Pathetic.
Did you spend the day drooling on that ACOG or did you spend the day dreaming of teaching somebody..ANYBODY the value of freedom?
If you answer honestly, will you really be suprised at the position we are in?... Because that Damned Machine spent it's day..24 hours a day teaching the masses that safety is more important than freedom.....conviencience is more important than freedom...GODDAM MTV is more important than freedom. It doesn't even have to think about us for 2 seconds because we are all too busy finding the biggest, most macho shovel to bury our AR's with in "Defiance".
Yep, I know that sinking feeling well, because what we are afraid of is not that something is coming, but that something didn't come.
Aw sh*t..maybe this Utopia will be a darn happy place. Looks like we're gonna find out.
