A: Guns have only two enemies: rust and politicians.
B: Its always better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
C: Cops carry guns to protect themselves, not you.
D: Never let someone or something that threatens you get inside arms length.
E: Never say "I've got a gun." If you need to use deadly force, the first sound they hear should be the safety clicking off. (I prefer the sound of a slug being chambered when you cock a shotgun)
F: The average response time of a 911 call is 23 minutes, the response time of a .357 is 1400 feet per second.
G: The most important rule in a gunfight is: Always win - cheat if necessary.
H: Make your attacker advance through a wall of bullets . . . You may get killed with your own gun, but he'll have to beat you to death with it, cause it'll be empty.
If you're in a gun fight:
1. If you're not shooting, you should be loading.
2. If you're not loading, you should be moving,
3. If you're not moving', you're dead.
J: In a life and death situation, do something . . . It may be wrong, but do something!
K: If you carry a gun, people call you paranoid. Nonsense! If you have a gun, what do you have to be paranoid about? (I call it being prepared)
L: You can say 'stop' or 'alto' or any other word, but a large bore muzzle pointed at someone's head is pretty much a universal language. AMEN!
M: You cannot save the planet, but you may be able to save yourself and your family.

I’m proud of my heritage, and no man can take that away from me. I wasn’t raised to fear people with a difference of opinion. Racists are merely victims of a disease in their mind.”

“It is ironic that the U.S. would begin a devastating war, allegedly in search of weapons of mass destruction when the most worrisome developments in this field are occurring in your own backyard.

 It is ironic that the U.S. should be fighting monstrously expensive wars  allegedly to bring democracy to those countries, when it itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy when trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been spent on projects which both congress and the commander in chief no nothing about.”

These are truly dark days that approach us now, with the fires of hell being kindled by the continuing lies we hear on TV, lies produced by Rothschild Khazarian Mafia (RKM) operatives who have no concern for what is right or what is fair, but only for the twisted pathologies that roll off their tongues with no regard for anyone but themselves. If we, the sincere humans of planet Earth, wish to survive, we need to neutralize the RKM and put them someplace where they can’t hurt anybody else. Hurting, fleecing, robbing, raping and murdering others has been their speciality for thousands of years. If that place is six feet under, so much the better. It is something they would richly deserve. It would make sense to kill them before they kill us, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to happen that way, certainly not if they get their way and start World War 3, which is what these pathological homicidal maniacs sincerely desire
