Joe Biden Reminds Us To Buy Guns and Ammunition

  

That crusty old pervert and would-be dictator of ours, Joe Biden, told us the other day – as he does every chance he gets – that our firearms are useless to defend our freedom because he has F-15s. I think he misses the point that the Founders – oh, how our leadership has declined from greatness to the staggering, stumbling, incontinent clown show we have today – intended that we be able to protect ourselves from people like him, not to mention the criminals that he tolerates and encourages. Here’s the thing about senile people – they can’t hide what they really think. They blurt what they really think. And he really thinks that happily turning the military upon us if we defy him is a viable option.

Some weak people will deny this hard truth, but this is not coming from some crazy guy with a plot sandwich board on a street corner screaming about impending doom. This is the observation of somebody who’s listening. The alleged President of the United States is threatening to kill other Americans with modern combat weapon systems for refusing to obey him. Don’t let anyone tell you that you are crazy for noticing.

A lot of us have noticed. In a sense, Americans have already voted with their Visa cards. Americans are buying millions of guns every month. There may be more guns than there are Americans, including our invited and uninvited guests flooding in after Joe Biden threw open our borders to every Third World peasant and aspiring terrorist around the globe. There’s a term for when there’s at least one gun for every single citizen. That term is “a good start.”

But we own nowhere near enough guns. In fact, the bare minimum number of firearms for an individual is three: a solid handgun, a solid shotgun, and a modern combat rifle. We can debate all day about the right pistol or shotgun—in fact, people do debate all day about that—but just buy simple and effective weapons in both categories. I’m sure the comments will be full of your advice, and much of it will be good.

The rifle is the most important component of a Prepared Citizen Equipment Package. A rifle is the tool of a soldier, and every healthy and law-abiding citizen needs to be a soldier. You can tell that’s the critical part by the way Democrats desperately want to ban “assault rifles,” because by banning “assault rifles,” they effectively ban citizen-soldiers, which in turn has the effect of eventually banning citizens. It creates serfs. What they want is for America to be like Europe, full of obedient drones who occasionally grumble but mostly anesthetize themselves watching the Eurovision Song Contest as they lose more and more of their rights. Our ruling class would love a situation where our cops arrested you for unlawful tweeting like in formerly Great Britain.

We’re not going to go down that way. We are going to be citizens, not serfs.

I want to make assault rifles – real assault rifles – mandatory for every citizen, but in the meantime, you need to go get one of the civilian versions the Democrats want to ban. The purpose is so that you are ready for combat if the time comes. You have the right to fight thugs trying to rape and/or murder your family and aspiring tyrants who want to turn you into happy campers at the rainbow gulag. That you are armed and capable of defending yourself is a key deterrent to crime and tyranny. It also ticks off the pinkos – gun ownership by free Americans scares the scowling wine women and shames their femmy male-identifying life partners – which is reason enough to buy guns and ammo.

Go get armed and help establish the lead-throwing facts on the ground that make gun banning and confiscation impossible. Becoming adequately armed is not particularly expensive – probably $2500 at a minimum, not including ammunition and training, but it’s an investment in your safety and freedom. And it’s an investment you should make. With a little luck, it never pays off and you’ll never have to use your arsenal. But there will come a moment for some percentage of us when we must, and then the capability to defend yourself and others becomes priceless.

The fact that the Democrats have thrown open our border to import an entirely new electorate that it feels will be more obedient to its commands has put us all in grave danger. Just last week, the FBI took a break from arresting people for illegally praying to lock up eight people from Tajikistan with links to ISIS who had been allowed into the United States by the Democrats. Their specific brand of terrorist is ISIS-K, who you last heard of when some of their goons went into a theater in Moscow and butchered 140 people. Don’t think that can’t happen here. It absolutely can – and likely will. I’ve written about it in my new novel, The Attack.

Unarmed Americans are extremely vulnerable to uneducated, low-IQ religious fanatics with simple armaments going on mass murder sprees, not to mention other kinds of terrorist operations. We saw that tactic at the Pulse nightclub, where a Democrat donor’s son, who was ISIS-connected, murdered about 50 people at a gay venue. The lying regime media did its job, which is to protect the interests and pursue the agenda of the garbage ruling class, by going the Full Norm McDonald. They wanted to blame normal people for being armed, but normal people never do these things. They stop mass killers with their guns. This was a scumbag jihadi Muslim fanatic who hated gay people, despite protests of the Queers for Palestine crowd, and he wanted to kill as many gay people as possible. 

If a couple of the victims had been armed, maybe this guy could’ve been stopped. Or maybe not. But here’s the thing. If you’re armed, you have a chance to fight. If you’re unarmed, you’re going to die. Don’t believe the police are necessarily going to come and save you. The first guy the cops took down at Uvalde was not the killer but a distraught cop who wanted to go in to try and save his wife while the rest of those cowards refused to help.

The fact is you are your own first responder. We are all our own first responders. You need to get guns. You need to get ammunition. You need to get trained. And you need to get your mind into the mental headspace where you are ready to take decisive action should the situation arise. 

It goes without saying that part of your training is to understand the legal aspects of deadly force. This is vital for your protection and for the protection of others. Being armed is a huge responsibility. Having guns is essential. So is ensuring you use them only as a last resort where lethal force is appropriate and lawful. Learn the law in your venue before you arm yourself.

Laws vary from state to state, and your political activism should be to make them better to protect lawful citizens. We all saw that in New York when a former Marine intervened to protect New Yorkers, he ended up in prison. I guess New Yorkers have made their choice – let regular citizens die. Oh well. But even in states that aren’t actively pro-criminal, we have to work to improve the laws. In Texas, for example, it took over a year to pardon the guy who shot an Antifa scuzz threatening him with an AK47. Texas should change its laws to prevent local Soros DAs from prosecuting innocent citizens, as well as empower its governor to pardon the victims of these injustices. The bottom line is you need to study the law and know the law, but you also need to use good sense. The best outcome is you never use your weapon. You don’t ever want to get into a situation where you have to use a gun. You want to avoid it. You want to de-escalate. You want to walk away if you can and run if you need to. Only idiots look for trouble. A gun is a last resort, but sometimes you get to the last resort. And if our situation in this country keeps spinning out of control, skiing down the slippery slope at light speed, you may get there sooner than you think.

Buy guns and ammunition.
