Another thing that gun owners ought to start doing is believing they can win the war. Many are outright defeatists who believe we can never win against what ever massive conspiratorial entity is in vogue that day.

The Brits just voted to leave the EU after months of nothing but opposition by every news entity, every government official from both sides of their isle, by the EU and every other socialist in the world. Months of propaganda failed to sway them and they voted to become independent again. And I thought that the one world government bankers had so much power that it would be impossible for the average citizen to change anything? What happened there?

The thing many gun owners are lacking is the belief they can win the war.

I absolutely agree. if we've already lost in our minds, actual victory will be difficult to achieve.

I am in the process of re-reading American Sniper, and in the book Kyle talks about his time in BUDS at the Navy Special Warfare Training Center in Coronado, CA., and the infamous bell aspiring SEALs could ring at any time if they wanted out. Kyle explains that the instructors would always offer those with thoughts of leaving a second chance, and even encouraged them to stay - Kyle explains that he later learned, that the the very thought of defeat entering an aspiring SEAL's mind was unacceptable and grounds for scrutiny, and that men that took the 2nd chance, and continued training, never went on to become SEALs.

I am just an average civilian, but man, that stuck with me. We've all heard "train as you fight" right.. well this is the mental equivalent. THINK as you ACT.

and then there are the events between the Boston Tea Party in 1773 and cessation of offensive operations by British Parliament in 1782. The British were one of the biggest powers in the world at the time. I Feel we are all probably pretty well acquainted with this story. as we should be.

Ok, Freedom rant OFF, thanks for your time.
