The Battle of Athens, TN 1946 can it happen again?
 
The Battle of Athens, TN 1946

Yes it's already happened here in America. It will happen again if the government attempts to take our weapons.

NYC is right now "passing" laws designed to ban any magazine over 7 rounds.

IMO this is the beginning and it needs to stop immediately. Watch the first video about the Battle of Athens and then watch the second video.

Funny how it's always the "veterans" that come to the rescue.

While not optimistic, I got ahold of our Gov and passed along a copy of that proposed Wyoming statute. While it's purpose was to protect its citizens first from local impact of Fed overreach, it's not unreasonable that such a thing would also find favor with some LE communities who may not fancy being a G proxy when it comes to collecting things from their now-criminalized neighbors.

We are going to be soon finding out who is prepared to do the next right thing.

Great piece of American history and timely. Its so disturbing to think we are being pushed down this path. As I've stated in earlier post, I really don't see a peaceful solution to our great divide. Our differences are now so magnified that finding common ground is an after thought. Obama's latest press conference he boasted " I will not negotiate or compromise" or to put it in simpler terms, what I say goes. Its getting late.

That's why the mark of distinction of being in Big Sis' threat list.

Seen the story of the battle several times before; always a good view & most timely TS, thanks again. Just did another screening for #1 gd. She gets it entirely, little home-schooled energy ball that she is. I also officially lost my coffee when she asked me if there was a job in the Army where she could learn how to blow open jailhouse doors like that.
:D

That could NEVER happen today.
We are much more civilized and proper.

It's begun in NYC
 
It's begun again in NYC. 15 Jan 2013.

It's time to make a stand and say no.


"shall not be infringed"


If I lived in NYC I'd tell them to come take my 30 round mags....


"all enemies, foreign and domestic..."

I may not fire the first shots but you can bet I will join the battle once it starts.

I hope the Teleprompter Reader of the United States follows suit with NYC, just so I can say "NO".....

This site has detailed account of the events. I'm sure there are others that differ but this definately provides more than a video clip.

Prediction:
First shot will be at a local gun range or private property after one of New Yorkshire's Finest (responding to a call "Illegal Weapon") smokes two or three individuals attempting to express their unalienable rights.

Embrace the inevitable. Prepare to become criminals with the stroke of a pen my friends.

Good luck.
