#1 I agree that in a sense we are already slaves, but at this point we still have the ability and means to flip the apple cart and burn it to the ground. We have not reached the point yet were it is the only option left to us besides a literal collar. I still have some slim hope that we can chart a new course without going to the ammo box instead of the ballot box.

#2 As that matter stands now, about 200 firearms owners in New York have been contacted and told to turn in their firearms (ARs) so federal prosecutors can use them as evidence. The notification that went to the owners did not say whether the owners would get their guns back, but I suspect that any transfer would require another background check. Maybe through a friendlier FFL.

I have not heard of reports of resistance to the AR return request. Are owners complying? Doubtful they will ever see their AR again.

#4 Slavery is all that time you spend working just so you can pay your taxes.

#5 If slaves pay taxes, what do citizens do?

#6 A coda, as it were:

I’ll add in a few things, to the readers, based on comments from the True Light Infantry post. First things first, I think a lot of folks missed the larger message. It was in part very much a critique of the current state of affairs in the US Infantry, but also a different viewpoint that seems to never get attention- the fact that most of you are not soldiers, and that groups of people who are not soldiers have been beating professional soldiers for a good while now. Second, the nation of today will not be the nation of tomorrow. The regional political landscape ten years from now very well could look completely different, and new nations may very well form as a result of balkanization. That’s not for me to say, but it surely is in the realm of possibility. Regional armies will arise as a result, and many of the challenges the Rhodesians faced will also face the breakaway states. They performed admirably given limited resources and a world who turned their backs on them. Your job is to learn absolutely everything you can now and make yourself and those close to you the absolute best at whatever it is they have to offer.

You can win, folks.
