My Guns Saved My Life when the state and the liberals left me to die. – The Mockingbird
I own firearms. I’m a leftist. Not a #feelthebern leftist. Bernie is too far to the right for me. Because of my politics, men have come to my home to kill me. This has happened more than once. When it did happen the only things that saved my life, and the lives of my roommates, were training and the physical possession of effective tools.
I’ll tell one story that will put the current clamor for more control on everyone and everything in perspective. I was actively organizing against the KKK and other white supremacists. So were my roommates and my entire social circle. The FBI attempted to contact me but claimed they could not find me. They got a call from a payphone via an intermediary. The agent, tired and wishing he didnt have to do this said “I am required by statute to inform you that we have credible threats against your life from white power groups.” He got my lawyer’s phone number. I was not going to talk to him.
It was really clear that the FBI would rather bungle the investigation of my death than prevent it. We detected the surveillance attempts by the white supremacists. We allowed their surveillance to see that we were well armed. They went away. The FBI did not have us under surveillance. There was a police precinct house three blocks away. The police were never on our block. We were being set up to die.
The FBI knew what these guys were up to. The FBI knew where we were because these nazis did. Planning to murder someone in conjunction with another person and then putting your target under surveillance is a felony. It is conspiracy to commit murder. The FBI could have arrested and prosecuted these guys at any time. The FBI did not do so. The police were actively not present. The FBI did what was the barest minimum. We saved our own lives and we only could do so because we were armed.
This was not the only time in my life this happened.
Guns aren’t the problem. It’s criminals, irresponsible people, and totalitarian shitheads getting a hold of them that’s the problem.

And don’t forget Belfast!
(People seem to forget Northern Ireland is part of the gun controlled UK for some reason)
Where the police carry assault rifles and travel in armored convoys because the IRA and the Ulstermen death squads seem to have no trouble obtaining weapons. Its almost as bad as Mexico.

The Godzilla series and many other kaiju films have imfdb pages. So now you know what weapons have no effect on the unstoppable monsters.

Thanks for this! I’m familiar with the site, but didn’t know they had so many Godzilla pages.
