To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.
— Thomas Jefferson, Letter to Joseph Milligan (1816)

So, Illinois’ Democrat gun-grabbers and their Governor, recently passed one of the most draconian and unconstitutional firearm, firearm accessories, and ammunition bans in US history. But, thanks be to Heaven and patriots with the means to do something, the immediate effect of the Dems’ criminal misconduct was a legal insurrection. 85 out of the 102 Illinois Sheriffs declared that they will not enforce this illegal law nor incarcerate citizens who are in arrested by other law enforcement agencies because of that law.
Obviously the Democrat Legislators and their Governor, JB Pritzker are shocked, dismayed, and outraged by the mass insurrection of Illinois’ Sheriffs Departments. But, what are they going to do against these patriots? Not only does Pritzker and the rest of the gun-grabbers have little to no practical recourse, but these are collectively a large, well-armed and equipped, organized group of patriots. They’re not the sort people that politicians should really want to push too far. 😉

Ah, the once – and all patriots hope – future January 6th “insurrection.” So much Dráng but so little Stúrm. It was a hope, but it was a wasted one that achieved nothing, mostly because there was no real planning, no real leadership, and no real intent to do anything properly meaningful.
No, despite the Democrats’ witch-hunt and hearings, which didn’t rise out of the swamp enough to even qualify as kangaroo court, this was no insurrection. It wasn’t even as well-organized, well-funded, or well-armed as the Dems’ and their media’s precious #BlackLivesMatter riots. It was just a small group of justifiably angry patriots foolishly venting their anger – at least upon the right people – without much thought at all.
So, our first January 6th came to naught. But, it’s a new year and who knows what will happen.

When it’s Bernie Freaking Sanders saying something like this, Democrats should listen and take what he’s saying to heart. They won’t though. They crossed the Rubicon back in 2015 and there’s no going back for them. They’ve placed themselves in a position where they either succeed in fundamentally changing the very nature of America or this is the hill they’ll die on.
Apparently Insufficient Fear
Then, Congress is full of the sorts who ignored what the January 6th protest and resulting incursion into the Capitol meant. They put up fences; they engaged in a still ongoing kangaroo pseudo-court to persecute President Trump; they are openly attempting to disarm the People. But they’re not asking themselves what they did to bring things to this point. Not one of them – except, apparently, Senator Sanders! 😯 – not even once where we, the People could read or hear it.
When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty…except, apparently, when that fear is insufficient or the government is too far gone into collective narcissism to understand.
No. Instead, they went directly after the POTUS that they used every means at their disposal – legal, extralegal, and possibly illegal – for four years to forcibly remove from office. In their delusional state and utter denial of their own wrongdoings, they acted as if they believe that one man, President Trump, was such a terrifyingly powerful demagogue that he could actually shape the feelings of the American people.
Hint – Trump isn’t even that great of a speaker, as the Left has pointed out repeatedly. He’s not shaping opinions or policies. He’s a just representation of Americans’ anger.
And these Democrats – and the Republicans who, for whatever reasons, are insufficiently against them – have chosen to “double-down” on things.
The Democrats’ Federal Enforcers
Fortunately, it wasn’t the second “Shot Heard ‘Round The World.” The President was not in residence during the raid and the FBI managed not to shoot anyone else while carrying out the Democrats’ orders. That would have sparked some sad hybrid of revolution, civil war, and poorly focused violent insurrection.
Weaponizing the FBI and then being that callously overt in its misuse is bad enough. It was probably the last straw for the DOJ and, by extension, all the federal law enforcement and quasi-law enforcement agencies.
At this point, I’m not sure what’s going to happen beyond Congress and their Alphabet Bois and Gurls either not developing self-awareness or realizing that they’ve already gone too far and can’t back down now. What it’s going to look like and exactly when it going to go down is beyond my ken.
But I’m pretty sure that this is the hill they’re going to die on, or it’s going to be the hill that America dies on… or both, as is more likely.

I recently posted some sarcastic gallows humor about American patriots “dealing with” government thugs coming to take our firearms. And yeah, it was sort of a bit of feel good patriotism. But it was just and nothing more than a bit of sarcastic humor. Let nobody believe that when – and it’s no longer if, unless we remove the Democrats – the government decides that the 2nd Amendment is moot and begins fully or mostly disarming the People, that it’ll be in a way where the majority of the citizenry will do anything about it.
In other words, this man is wiser than most of us.
Fuck Around And Find Out
The phrase, “Fuck Around And Find Out” has been gaining a lot of exposure and popularity across social media among Americans of or near my age. Apparently, Americans of Generation Jones and Generation X have co-opted the phrase from the Farther Left. Indeed, there’s a lot of my people using the phrase in response the Democrat gun-grabbers’ voiced desires.
The problem is that so many of us are forgetting that this applies to us as well and equally. Do nothing now, before the Democrats can get their de facto firearm confiscations underway is “Fucking Around” and we, the People could easily end up “Finding Out” exactly what that means for us, our children, and our children’s children.
If we look on and do nothing now, by the time we do do something to defend ourselves, or Heaven-granted rights, and our families, it’ll be far too little and far too late. And our domestic enemies know this and are counting upon it.

Between what the Dems poisoning the government are doing and what I seeing, hearing, and reading on the webs – normal and dark – I’m pretty sure some “fun times” are coming. Well, not so fun for the ATF, FBI and other “alphabet bois and gurls” who first encounter “creative resistance” from American citizen patriots. But hey! I’m Southern. The sarcastic scenario above would just be a different sort of pig roast. 😆
I’ve got to admit though, there’s a part of me that would laugh my ass off watching some gun-grabbing, ATF thugs getting literally lit up like this. It’d be a true, “Fucked around and found out moment.” Fortunately or not, there’s a larger part of me that very much doesn’t want things to come to this.
