Outlaw stuff

[1776 Rebel]

At one time I had an appetite for the written word. I ate up newspapers, magazines and books. In my mind numbing  computer programmer job, I would clip articles and pin them to my cell ... er... cubicle wall. All in hopes of stirring some conversation with passers by. Didn't work. The numb nuts that co-occupied my world had no interest in the outside world.

Well how does this relate to RKBA? I am in the midst of throwing all my old life stuff out from the basement. I came across one article worth a good laugh. I don't know where I got it from. Must be from the early 1980's. The yellowed tape on its corners means I must have had it on my wall at one time. I reproduce it in its entirety below:


In Cold Type

Some people want to ban the bomb. Some would outlaw handguns. In Romania, the government wants to restrict typewriters. In an effort to stamp out antigovernment leaflets, Persident Nicolae Ceausescu has signed a decree banning possession or use of typewriters by ex-convicts or anybody else who poses "a danger to public order or state security." Begining this month, Romanians must register their typewriters with police and submit samples of their machines' distinctive type prints. And anyone who wants to buy a new typewriter must get state permission.

This serves to hammer home the whole point of the 2nd Amendment.
If we ever loose the right to keep and bear arms, something like this will only be a 'goose-step' away.

Chilling, if you really think about it.

We must stand guard.

Ironic thing is the 1st Amendment types are on the side against us.

Ironic thing is the 1st Amendment types are on the side against us.

Sad irony in the hypocrisy of it, indeed.

They only worry about 'theirs', while we worry about them 'all'.
They would gladly help destroy the 2nd while never understanding that IT protects the rest.

President Nicolae Ceausescu  Died badly. I believe he was beat to a smear by a mob. Keep the Faith.

Yes.
One can cling desperately to some facsimile of hope...can't one?

I think you're thinking of Mussolini. Ceaucescu died in a firing squad with his wife. The squad may have been militia in the area where he fled to from the capital.

You, sir, are on to something....  


Ceauşescu and his wife Elena fled the capital with Emil Bobu and Manea Mănescu and headed, by helicopter, for Ceauşescu's Snagov residence, from where they fled again, this time for Târgovişte. Near Târgovişte, they abandoned the helicopter, having been ordered to land by the army, which by that time had restricted flying in Romania's air space. The Ceauşescus were held by the police, while the policemen listened to the radio. The police eventually turned over the couple to the army. On December 25, the two were sentenced to death by a military court on charges ranging from illegal gathering of wealth to genocide, and were executed in Târgovişte. The film crew recording the events missed the execution since the firing began too quickly.[5]

The Ceauşescus were executed by a firing squad consisting of elite paratroop regiment soldiers Ionel Boeru, Dorin Carlan and Octavian Gheorghiu who shot them with AK-47 assault rifles. After the shooting had stopped, the bodies were covered with canvas. The hasty trial and the images of the dead Ceausescus were videotaped and the footage promptly released in numerous western countries. Footage of their trial and pictures of their corpses (but not of the execution itself) were shown the same day on television for the Romanian public.

Although he initially favoured siding with France against Germany in the early 1930s, Mussolini became one of the main figures of the Axis powers and, on 10 June 1940, Mussolini led Italy into World War II on the side of Axis. Three years later, Mussolini was deposed at the Grand Council of Fascism, prompted by the Allied invasion. Soon after his incarceration began, Mussolini was rescued from prison in the daring Gran Sasso raid by German special forces.

Following his rescue, Mussolini headed the Italian Social Republic in parts of Italy that were not occupied by Allied forces. In late April, 1945, with total defeat looming, Mussolini attempted to escape to Switzerland, only to be captured and summarily executed near Lake Como by Communist Italian partisans. His body was taken to Milan where it was hung upside down at a petrol station for public viewing and to provide confirmation of his demise.
