You – “Mr. Politician, please protect me from myself and my neighbors.”

Politician – “Gladly, serf. Turn over your guns to us and we’ll protect you.”

You – “Yes sir. Is there anything else I can do for you, your honor?”

Politician - "Yes, open your business to me and my friends and give us anything we want for free."

You - "Gladly, your honor! Anything for you, oh great one."

Anyways, on topic, I think this is great and hopefully more people and establishments follow this kind of lead.



In a recent thread by TrueAmerican, another city councilman recently tried to abridge the rights of a law abiding American. That time, the majority of the council understood their oath and shot it down.



Politicians had better get the memo that they work for us or there will be a lot of turn-over in the coming elections, especially on the local level and especially when it comes to constitutional rights.

This response from business owners in VT should be replicated around the country in states and cities who wish to abridge our rights. After the actions in NY last week, the citizens there need to follow this lead.

I must say, it is refreshing to see people take a stand against tyranny (even a small one). Stories like this give me renewed hope that we will get through these times with some semblance of freedom intact.

I saw that thread, the councilmen didn't get his way so he pouted like a child and walked off. Good riddance. I'm not American, I'm Canadian so I know I don't have much of a say in the matter, but I think the constitution was made for a reason and should be honoured.

Well, you certainly don't have to be American to know that elected officials are supposed to represent the people who elected them rather than their own personal interests. Unfortunately, that reality escapes many of these politicians. Sometimes they need a reality check, even if it makes them pout.

Thanks for the response.

You are absolutely right, but the fact is most politicians aren't in politics to make "your" world better, only theirs, and their friends. The word greed comes to mind. It's sad, really.

You - Is there anything else my grace?

Politician - Yes, give me your children so I may enlist them to enforce my law, fight my wars, and protect my well being.


Sorry, you forgot the most important one.

"I was wondering how long it would be before gun manufacturers stopped selling to the government. Imagine if no one would sell bullets to cities and states for law enforcement."

Great thread. This needs to happen over & over till they get the message. I live in N.C. & I know that the same thing goes on around here with gun ranges & police/sheriff depts. So this must be a "semi normal" thing between police depts and gun ranges that open in or near their cities.

I know the some of the ranges Ive been to were owned by ex-law enforcment folks. But this is a little bigger than it seems. Gun range owners acoss the nation need to follow this tact. Here in N.C. if you can get atleast 150 yards away from any home in the county you can shoot. So I went and built my own range, what a damn $$$ saver it was.

But the sheriffs dept came out and checked it any ways. How funny that was, two deputies were with me shooting at my range & two of their fellow deputies came because " they got a call". And yes they actually measured the distance from the rear of my home to the range.

Now every other saturday, I have about three to four sheriff's deputies & their kids come out and use my back yard range. I charge them $ 5 bucks a person, in turn a portion of that goes to our local suicide prevention org. It's actually a donation vs a outright charge. I like the fact I have LE friends that have the very same mindset as me. It can't hurt to have LE friends. On a side note, the only reason I am friends with any of them is the fact that one of the deputies was the first responder to an home invasion I was involved in a few years ago. He & I have been good friends since that night and the ensuing days after that night.

All I can say is that he was there for me after the incident. Helped me get the right people to talk with as taking a life will take a toll on your mental state . Sorry I sort of got long winded in your thread. S& F good sir.
