Kurt Hofmann: Gun ownership, and even militia membership, becoming more popular, diverse

The Brady Campaign, VPC, CSGV and the Southern Poverty Law Center would all prefer that the public share their fear and loathing of militias. The question to ask them, perhaps, is if militias are "necessary to the security of a free state," then who are the "traitors" to America--the militia members, or those who oppose them?

That civil war or slavery is now the only choice. that the "great plan for world peace" (the UN) has failed.That we have now come to the crux,peaceful change is no longer possable.LIBERTY OR DEATH; September 26, 2012 at 8:25 AM

I'm a militia of one.
I'm one of millions.
I'm singular but not alone.
I'm nebulous.
I keep my powder dry.
I keep my ear to the ground.
I'm very well, happily, and contentedly, regulated because I understand perfectly what is going down.
The tyrants have no conception of the can of whoop arse that is going to be opened on their worthless hides.

This Militia business though... It has, since I have been an adult been the intention of any media source to demonize the militia movement. To make them appear to be fat, redneck, racist, squirrel killers. They did such a good job of it that for many years I believed that militia's were full of crazies living in the woods. To tell the truth, even today I cannot find a fictional TV program that has ever portrayed a militia in a positive light.

Here is a tip for all you militia members. To be a militia is not to buy your survival goods and find your retreat and go there if the country ever fell into chaos, with the intention of waiting it out and thinking that you will be a source of power when you decide to venture out. Those who have the ability, skill, and patriotism to join a militia should be out helping their countrymen from the get go. Defending the weak, putting their ass on the line and doing something other than hiding in the hills like cowards.
I support militia movements, but I would never allow those who turn tail and run for the hills to come even close to having a say when the music stops.
All militias who subscribe to the theory that they can wait out an event and then come out of the retreat like conquering heroes are freaking delusional.
Any militia that works to defend their countrymen when the situation is tough and maybe unwinnable will have an ally in me.
Militia types with their "survival plan" should think long and hard about that.; September 26, 2012 at 7:32 PM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
