Forewarned is forearmed, according to the old saying.  I have never heard anyone say, "I wish I would have been less prepared for that disastrous (insert catastrophe of your choice here).

Also, it's sort of refreshing to hear a pol (judges are pols, too) speak what he honestly feels, and not just what is calculated to advance his position.

As for me and mine, I just hope we make it through the coming hurricane as the Tampa area seems to be in the 10-ring.   Then maybe I will worry about what some Texas judge thinks may be coming down the road.

Good for the Judge ! It's about time Public officials started doing their job and defending the Constitution from all threats, foreign and domestic.
We still have one chance to get rid of the communist Muslim in Nov.

Many of us here at DRTV (including me), have already determined what "blue helmets" on American Soil means...

We still have a vote,....

it will just be from the rooftops. Plus, the UN? Really? They don't have the belly for it...

Remember what Yamamoto stated regarding an American mainland invasion?

It hasn't changed.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
It won't be "blue helmets" it will not be foreign troops.
It will be your local, State, and Federal cops.
It will be the National Guard, and Army reserve, just like in Syria or New Orleans.

I agree,. but the % of those that "do not comply" with starting a second Civil War will have to be determined. Syria has already had an incredible amount of defections from the .gov to the resistance.

Most "beat cops", the older ones,....won't do it,...the young guns in the branches you mentioned, might to an extent....

But I digress and defer to Col. Jeff Cooper.

"It is interesting to hear certain kinds of people insist that the citizen cannot fight the government. This would have been news to the men of Lexington and Concord, as well as the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan. The citizen most certainly can fight the government, and usually wins when he tries. Organized national armies are useful primarily for fighting against other organized national armies. When they try to fight against the people, they find themselves at a very serious disadvantage. If you will just look around at the state of the world today, you will see that the guerillero has the upper hand. Irregulars usually defeat regulars, providing they have the will. Such fighting is horrible to contemplate, but will continue to dominate brute strength."

Regardless of how long the NAZIs kept at it,  how many Jews would have died like cattle in the death camps?  They might have still died, but they'd have gone down standing tall and maybe taking some with them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto_Uprising

Hanna Krall, who interviewed the only surviving uprising commander, Marek Edelman (from the left-wing Jewish Combat Organization, Żydowska Organizacja Bojowa, ŻOB), stated that the ŻOB had 220 fighters; and each was armed with a handgun, grenades, and Molotov cocktails. His organization had three rifles in each area, as well as two land mines and one submachine gun in the whole Ghetto.[12] The insurgents had little ammunition; more weapons were supplied throughout the uprising, and some were captured from the Germans. Some weapons were hand-made by the resistance; sometimes such weapons worked, other times they jammed repeatedly.


Read the whole thing, they held out longer than any country in Europe other than Russia or England.
Yeah, the people can fight the Govt alright .

I read a book about the Warsaw Ghetto back when I was a teenager.

That was the first time I was filled with a rage against EVERYONE, it seemed, who could allow such atrocities to continue. 

I was mad that the US didn't use every bit of it's military force to intervene (ahh  youth....it was the right thing to do...if not politically wise).  Even the Pope looked the other way.  Where were the Christians of Germany?  Helping load the boxcars, that's where.

I look at Hitler as a madman, a maniac, a rabid dog who, somehow, in a soul dark and despicable, might have even thought he was right. 

I lay the blame with those who stood by and even aided these animals.  They to are condemned.

There were some real heroes there too, their efforts and risks made all the brighter by dismal darkness of the rest of the population.

Some Jews, some Mauser's, and a hand full of ammo literally could have changed the entire course of WWII...

Disarmament came first.....

When the Jews requested sanctuary, at first FDR denied ships and held in "limbo" thousands,...many had to turn back.

When it comes to the Warsaw Ghetto, no other humiliation was placed upon the "Reich" than the holdouts with almost nothing.
For those with the "stones" to stand up...

http://digitaljournal.com/article/280006

Marek Edelman, the last surviving leader of the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, in which the Jewish inhabitants of the Ghetto fought back in vain against the Nazis, has died at the age of 90.


Many a resistance fighter made a laughing stock of the Nazi's in the Warsaw Ghetto,.  Outnumbered 20 to 1, a handful of holdouts, chased and frustrated the Nazi's for over 3 months..

Kudos to the Judge.....

He's not too far off base in today's day and age.

Thank You Bic, the accompanying article and photo and article is also worthy and posted at Western Rifle Shooters Association Blog.

Very concise and clear.

Thank you twyacht - most interesting. Some fellow country dwellers and I were discussing tactics in the case of some forthcoming emergency and I put forth the idea that an important thing to do NOW is that that we really don't want to do.....i.e. meet our neighbours to discuss this.
