Re: Another Meme Thread
Think again. Is your chief of police or sheriff a constitutional chief or sheriff ?? Have you asked them? Have you asked them if they support confiscation?crazy2medic wrote:It won't be your local P.D. it will be people from the Alphabet agencies!imkopaka wrote:People try to paint that as an inconsistency in our worldview, but they refuse to acknowledge the reality that there are two different levels of interaction with police, just as there are with all people.

I asked the Fayette County sheriff and he refused to answer. He is a Democrat.

And if it is some flunky from an alphabet agency, does that make him any less of an American? Does that make him any less of a human being? Regardless of who knocks on the door, they are not the ones making decisions and pulling strings - they are trying to make a living for their family same as me, they just chose an employer slightly more corrupt than mine. As long as I have the reasonable expectation of immediate safety that would allow me to make such a concession, I will give them the opportunity to walk away. It keeps my hands clean of unnecessary bloodshed and allows a potentially undecided person to return to their family and rethink their job and their life. If they forced the issue or showed up with guns drawn (or jumped through a window, or blew the door, or.......) then I would make the decision to protect my rights with violence. Until that point, I'm not going to pull a trigger with delusions of heroism and starting the next revolution. Some junior agent making 12 bucks an hour is not the one responsible for gun confiscation, and I doubt he'd be willing to die for it. Let cooler heads prevail, if such heads exist. Just my 2 cents.

Tyrants never do their dirty work. They send someone else. Those that do come to confiscate have made the decision to join in the tyranny.

It's fine if you disagree. I can't force you to be correct.
