Identification Friend or Foe

There are a lot of stories that point to a civil war breaking out between the left and the right in this country and the attempt to ban and even confiscate guns as the match that lights the fire. I for one, do not plan on giving up my God given right to self defense, to own a firearm, any time soon. Will this lead to war, not sure on that. It didn't in California, but then California is California and that is a damning statement all by itself. Although it is why the senate jackel lady from there can even think that this is an idea she can promote.

But this is for sure, this is now a divided nation and unless the left turns back, something is bound to break. And this may very well be the straw. JD Longstreet has an article on this issue in the Canada Free Press) of all places! (linked here). Read the entire text, it is well written.

But what I found as a lesson was in the comments. Try this one from someone named Kieth:

"When this revolution comes, who are you planning to shoot? Seriously. Tell me who you kill to get your "freedom." You going to shoot "the media"? What, like your local Action Six news anchor? The 0.1%? You've never seen or met or been in the same room as a single one of them. Where are you planning to find them? You're going to track down the Waltons with the glock you just bought? The government? You can't shoot "the government." You have to pick a human being. You going after your city police? The lady at the DMV? Your mailman? No? So are you going to shoot the army? The same people you call "our brave men and women in uniform," and "real American heroes"? The ones you sing country songs to and slap yellow ribbons on your SUV for?
This is some of the dumbest s*** I've ever heard."


Well, here we have a few points and the first one is a message I have seen in a number of places. If and when the range goes hot, what will be the result on the other side? When we told King george to get out, we had a plan on the local level. Each colony drafted constitutions and had elected state and local government structures. When the southern states bid the US faewell, there were state governments and a Confederate government in place to carry on. Currently, the US has the firld and the state goivernments are neutered minions. Unfortunally, there is a lack of solid education in the understanding of rights and freedom most everywhere. Is this a reqason to fold the tent...no. But it is a part of the process we need to plan for both during and after the conflict. Regardless if it a hot conflict or a cold conflict.


The second point is taken from a story I read that described most of the power welded by the NAZI and Soviet secret police was largely through the use of dupes and average people who they used against fellow citizens. Either through fear or bribe, by force or by appealing to baser instincts. It was neighbors, "friends" and family members who turned people over to the government, many times for reasons that were unfounded or for vengence, not anti-government activities.

The third is a reflection on the first step on the range for every rifle competition I participate in before the fire command...... identify the targets, normally clay pigeons or square tiles, but in this context... identify friend or foe. There are several different groups active in this country and in your area right now. There are those who are solidly on the right, friends. Then there is the other side, the left or foe. Then there is at least two middle subgroups, one is aware, just not willing to commit either way. The other and final group is hopelessly clueless. They will get wacked and wonder where it all came from, I think they are mostly college kids!

Basically we need to think global, but act local. Go and read Matthew Bracken's discussion of the CW2-Cube ((link here). And even though Kevin may not be aware, that acting local process is occurring. From rallies that are public, to people individually just getting out of the system as far as they can. They are working with friends and neighbors to either avert this crisis or prepare for it.

Now is the time to begin to know who our friends are. It is time to apply IFF to our local areas. Who will stand with you if they try to confiscate firearms. Who knows you have them? Who will report on your range time with that illegal 30 round magazine and "black rifle".  Who is uber-american, fails to see the evil in this government and will be a loyal stooge and inform on your family storing food? . Will your local police force be your rescue or hunt you down. Your doctor, will he just fall in with the federal information gathering on you or will he help you "off line". Will your employer use your politics as an excuse to reduce his overhead?

Now is the time to do your identification. If the range goes hot, it is a bad time to have to be wondering. IFF, job one before any match. There will be a test........
