Yesterday, we talked about the basic economics of ammo manufacture and how it relates to supply and demand curves. It is my contention, solely based on the limited education I received back in the '70s abut basic economics (math really doesn't change much). It's not so much that demand has exceeded supply, but that entire demand curve has shifted and supply is simply unable to achieve market equilibrium.
What does equilibrium look like? That's when you can go into a store and pick up a box of your favorite ammo with no problem, ad no standing in line.
But, that is only one of our problems today. I believe that supply will eventually catch up with demand, but the bigger problem is the political reality of what is about to happen. The Biden presidency.
For better or worse, and whether you beive that the election was stolen, or even if you believe that an unprecedented number of people wanted Biden as president, the sorry fact is that he is about to assume the mantle of power. And, he is filling his cabinet with gun grabbers. This is upon us, and we'd best start getting ready for a long fight.
Tom Knighton, at Bearing Arms, gives us a look a how bad it might be if Biden resorts to executive orders and cabinet regulations. Trust me, they can compel a lot of shenanigans by simply writing regulations.
But, you have to take a man at his word, and in the opening seconds of this video, Joe Biden tells us exactly what he plans to do.
This is liable to be a wild ride. The upcoming elections in Georgia will probably give some indication of how we'll have to fight the fight. It would be helpful to have a solid majority in the Senate, to backstop any attempt at legislation, but the cabinet appointments and department heads will still be trying to incite mischief. By this time next year, the ammo shortage may be the least of our worries.
People better learn real quick about participating in the Armed Civil Disobedience of Non-Compliance. From a 2016 post on my blog:
ReplyDeleteDENY-DEFY-DECEIVE-EVADE-RESIST-SMUGGLE-DEFEND
1). DENY - Deny the ownership of any weapons or other survival gear you may have, except to your MOST TRUSTED family members or friends. Even then, it should be on a "need to know" basis. The days of opening up a gun safe to show off what you have are long gone.
2). DEFY - tell government where to stick it by ignoring the unconstitutional/intolerable acts they continue to pass into law. When they make you a felon by the stroke of a pen, because what you have done legally in the past they don't like is now illegal, just defy them. It has been demonstrated over and over that Armed Civil Disobedience frightens them into inaction.
2). DECEIVE - Take whatever measures necessary to secure your property. Never fill out any "state" paperwork if you can. Private transactions are just that; PRIVATE!
3). EVADE - Stay clear of law enforcement. Move "banned" property or any future banned property to a secure location. Subterranean mono vaults work quite well. Exercise your 4th and 5th Amendment Rights at all times. All questions by LE should only be answered by or in the presence of an attorney.
4). RESIST - Resist the efforts of the tyrants in their efforts to register and confiscate. Show up at rallies and demonstrations. Call and write your politicians. Vote the bastards out of office, and feel free to maintain "traitors lists" containing the names and full contact info (including home address) of those traitors that want to strip your rights. Make sure the tyrants know the list exists.
5). SMUGGLE - Travel to free states and buy whatever you want and can. Firearms are tougher to do, unless it is a private sale. Magazines, ammo, blades, supplies, etc. Bring it back to your forbidden zone and stash it. Buy extra to distribute. Make
anonymous YouTube videos of your activities and post them. Some smuggling efforts, depending on where you live, require you to cross multiple forbidden zones. It just adds to the fun!
6). DEFEND - This is the newest addition. Be committed to the fact that if the tyrants ever get froggy enough to try forced confiscation, you will meet force with force. When the body count on both sides get to the unacceptable level, maybe this shit will stop. Maybe. Follow the III% Catechism #3 that states "No First Use of Force". Just like at the Concord Bridge on April 19, 1775, let the tyrants bring the force and let them fire first. After that, feel free to unleash whatever Hell you are capable of. Once you start you must see it through until; 1) They are all dead, 2) You are all dead, 3) You are out of ammo. Please be prepared enough so number 3 does not happen, because it will certainly mean number 2.
Ignore the threats of the federal government, as they are no more a threat than at the state level. Some of us are paper felons in our own state anyway. Once you get past the first one, the rest are easy.
@Captain Witold Pilecki- I agree with you EXCEPT on your suggestion not to fire first. By stealing this election, the forces of communism and evil will have nullified every document since the Declaration of Independence, and will have by their actions declared war upon all Americans. IF, not when, they consummate this coup on January 20th 2021 at noon Eastern time, they will be AT WAR with the citizens of the United States of America, and will be subject to our retribution. We will restore our precious Constitutional Republic by any means necessary. May God bless and protect us in this most sacred quest.
