By the way, you're in RI/MA? Fancy that, I'm in Cranston, RI

.

Hey there! I was just down your way last week. A pilgrimage to REI and dinner at The Tree House Tavern & Bistro. Can't go long without a fix at REI, LOL.

That's what happens when you're too dumb to quit. It's not like he didn't clue us in from the beginning.

So we'll continue the party at another bar. Like we've done thousands of times before.

Ken,

I applaud your support and praise of a company supporting rights instead of a regime. Too often today companies are rewarded for refusing or denying the rights of its potential customers. Example of that is PayPal refusing to allow payment for any firearm related products. I am still trying to wrap my brain around that one. Also considering cancelling EBay and PayPal accounts.

Dear Mr. Fitzpatrick:
I would like to thank and commend you for the stand that you and Magpul Industries have taken in support of the Second and FourteenthAmendments to the United States Constitution.

At no point in our nation's history has the Second Amendment been more important than it is today.

You are 100% correct there. With DHS securing more ammo and armored vehicles than should be needed to defend our borders in the next 50 years there appears to be some truth at least in the hard core conspiracy theories.

Just over a month ago I read an article about a gun dealer and collector that had been raided with a federal warrant by the local Sheriff, SWAT and DHC teams. No charges were pressed but EVERY firearm he had at home and his business was confiscated, 1500 or so in total. I could not believe something like this actually happened, no way.

So I goggled the name and the web page with business info and a number popped up. Wow. I had to call it.

The lady that answered sounded like someone's nice grandmother. "Hello"
"I am sorry", I said "I was looking for Robert A____..."

"Hold on please, I will get Bob."

I heard talking in the background and then she came back.

"I am sorry, Bob just cannot come to the phone right now."

"Mam, I am sorry to bother you, but I read an article about the raid and just had to ask..."

"They took everything." Her voice crackled and I could tell she was on the verge of tears.

All I could say was, "There are good people left and I will pray for you."

"Thank you so much." she said and we hung up.

This has not just started, this has been planned for years and we are seeing the first of many actions that will all be unbelievable at first.

My question is, If DHS, a SAWT team and the local boys come knocking on your door what do you do?

Wife and kids are home reading, playing, working in the garden, what do you do, really??

I would die for the rights that have been fought for by braver Americans than I. But, I will not sacrifice my family.

If such a scenario occurred while I was home alone, there is a possibility the front walls of the house will blow out 20 feet followed by a movie scene attempt to discourage the tyranny and soon after a hail of bullets from those unaffected could end my battle quickly. The next day an unfortunate report of a drug raid gone bad will be reported and a meth lab destroyed. It is either that, or hand over my side by side and 22 rifle willingly.

When this happens has anyone decided on what if anything to do?

Yeah, all fiction I guess, but not the happenings in New Mexico and possibilities of more.

Our future history will tell.

If the below does not manifest, we will know darker times that anyone in this country has ever known.

It is correct for a government to fear its people! If it does not, govern is quickly replaced by rule.

I will not be ruled.

I am optimistic that we - the American citizens, law enforcement officers, and elected officials who have not fallen for the socialist-progressive propaganda of a disingenuous president and his elected and appointed anti-Constitution cronies - will ultimately prevail in our efforts to protect and preserve our Constitution and its unambiguous restatement of the freedoms and liberties bestowed on us, not by government,but as a birthright from God. I sense the beginnings of a shift in the political climate - even in liberal Massachusetts - as the people slowly awaken to the fact that Ayn Rand was correct when she wrote, "We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases,while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force."

Here it is. I thought it a conspiracy spin and was certain it did not happen until I called.
