Awesome is the word
Years ago I was at the Big Cat House at the San Fran Zoo during feeding time. The female lions came in first, then the male lions -- all in separate pens. The male lions started ‘huffing’ over to the females. I thought that was pretty impressive. Then the tiger came in and just laid down.
In comes the guy with the horsemeat in the wheelbarrow. Portions into each pen.
Except the tiger didn’t want the horsemeat. It wanted the guy driving the wheelbarrow. It was the most terrifying display of raw animal power I’ve ever seen. I honestly was not certain the bars would hold that tiger.

There’s thinly veiled calls for armed insurrection on the previous thread from an admin. I’m outta here, and anyone who values their reputation should seriously consider their association.

ADDENDUM
Mind you, I’m certainly not calling for, or hoping for, a second revolution. I’m an old fart, without military training. I have a wife, children and grandchildren. And I think/hope there is still time to turn things around. Maybe. But if the SHTF, my guess is it won’t originate from the right. It will come as a result of the FSA getting cut off from their goodies, which is about as likely as gravity continuing. Then it’s going to get very ugly, and all bets are off.
All sounds like some dystopian novel, doesn’t it? But then, we’ve got a government that apparently thinks “1984″ was a roadmap, not a cautionary tale. If things go far enough, there will be a breaking point, because unlike many countries in the past, this one doesn’t have centuries or even eons of repression behind it. Some people actually still believe in those yellowed old documents drafted by the Gang of Dead White Guys. If that breaking point is reached, what’s been happening in Greece will look like a popcorn fart in a Class V hurricane.

You are ignoring the fact that Hillary lied to the father of one of the men murdered at Benghazi -- she blamed it on the film maker
This has been a monumental set up -- and not one peep out of the lame stream media. The Benghazi report was a whitewash -- nowhere do we find how this film came to be scapegoated. Now we find that the so-called ‘resignations’ at State were completely bogus.
Wake up.

There is an on-line petition to deport Piers Morgan
for his hit on the NRA & the Second Amendment.
It is funny, but it gets better.
The petition is on the WH website .
They have obligated themselves to respond to any
petition with at least 25,000 signatures.
As of this morning there were 75,000.

Yes, he violated probation. But for that kind of violation, it’s a slap on the wrist.

I would express that scenario more forcefully. Obama and Clinton both lied over the dead bodies of 4 Americans who were killed serving this country. They lied repeatedly to the world (Obama at the U.N.) and the American people about the cause of those deaths when they knew full well what really happened. Further, at every occasion, they lamented the existence of our First Amendment rights of freedom of speech. The whole Benghazi thing should have been reason enough, among many others, to run the entire regime out of office in November.

Now here’s a good conflict. Anti-gun fanatic, David Gregory, has a live interview with NRA president Wayne Lapierre with the sole purpose of pushing gun gontrol. In that interview, he holds up a 30 round mag which is illegal to “own or possess” in the D.C. city limits. Prior to the interview, NBC specifically asked the D.C. police if it would be OK to use such a magazine as a prop in an interview and the cops said “NO”. Gregory used it anyway and now he’s under investigation for “owning and possessing” a prohibited item. The NRA should now actually defend Gregory’s right to own such a magazine and make the case that the banning of said mag is unconstitutional. SWEET!

We’ve been thru this. The NRA has no jurisdictional standing. What is even sweeter is that the defense would have to come from NBC/Gregory for something they consider indefensible.
Now usually, I like Roubini, but this is a bad idea.
So I need insurance in the event I’m sued for shooting somebody breaking into my house? Um, don’t think so.
I know many insurance companies adjust their homeowners premiums if you own what they consider a ‘high risk’ dog (dobies, rotties, etc.) but I’ve never heard of one asking about fire arms in the house.

If someone wants to think about armed insurrection that is their opinion IMO. Lot’s of room to dispute the idea. Red Dawn.
I’m not gonna get scared by it. IMO my own reasoning it would never happen unless it was a military coup over a POTUS that exceeded authority to an extreme. Or we were attacked directly.
A breakdown in social order also maybe. There are plenty of people thinking that. That they need to be able to protect themselves.
Anyone that shoots someone with a gun today for some obscure political reason they feel bad about is going to be a major loser in my book. Along the lines of the Sandy Hook shooter. Agitate at the grassroots level first and get some wisdom about persuasion and politics.

@ eaglesoars:
My insurance company knows I have guns, because they’re covered under a separate rider as high value items.
That fact doesn’t change anything on the liability side, though.
@ eaglesoars:
Here in Colorado, you can’t be sued in that event, so there is no potential for liability.

Did your liability premiums increase? We have $1 mil in coverage and it’s cheap.

Nope. No reason it should, either. You can’t be sued in Colorado for shooting someone who is in your home unlawfully.

As it talk about “confiscation and mandatory buyback”
I lived in Denver for most of the 70′s…at one time there was this case…two armed intruders break into a garden level apt, right into the bedroom of the renter and his girl…both guys in the dark room and the renter pulls up his 12g and fires…there is a short gunfight in the room and a bad guy is killed…the second bad guy goes back out the window and attempts to flee…the renter goes out the same window, chases the bad guy down and kills him too…the renter was then charged with some degree of murder for his pursuit and nimble trigger finger…a huge trial, a huge outrage, a huge division broke out…but in the end the renter was justified and vindicated and a cheer arose across the city…that was like ’77 or so and I don’t know what’s going on up there now…but the overwhelming opinion at that time was protect yourself and to hell with the rest…it was a profound thing for me back then
lobo91 wrote:
That’s why I don’t understand Roubini’s idea of mandatory liability insurance. I don’t think he gets it.
@ heysoos:
Under current Colorado law, the first shooting was fine, and the second wasn’t. You can never account for what a jury will do, but according to the law, he had no right to chase the second guy down.
In the case I was inteviewed about recently, the grand jury declined to indict the store owner, but he was definitely in the wrong.
eaglesoars wrote:
It depends on the state, of course.
The reality is that if you look at it from the standpoint of risk to the insurance company, owning a gun really shouldn’t affect someone’s liability much, anyway. The odds of any given gun owner actually shooting someone are pretty slim, compared to other things your insurance covers.
lobo91 wrote:
No kidding. Our neighbor’s idiot son thought it would be a good idea to skateboard down the steps at the end of our sidewalk.
I threw him off the property.
sheesh
@ eaglesoars:
And of course the factor that guy isn’t considering is the fact that the majority of shootings are done by people who don’t legally own their guns in the first place.
How do you get them to buy insurance? Obviously, you can’t, so the plan would be to make the rest of us pay, instead.
heysoos wrote:
Where have you been? The Cubs won back-to-back World Series in ’07 and ’08! That was after losing the Series to their rival Chicago White Sox in ’06.
So, the Cubs have won back-to-back World Series already. You may have missed a few other things that have been in the news since then. The Titanic sunk in 1912. There was a great World War in Europe from 1914 to 1918. The US went dry in the 1920s. There was a Great Depression in the 1930s (almost as bad as the one Obama has us in now). There was a Second World War from 1939 to 1945 ending with atomic bombs being dropped in Japan. Also, men have walked on the Moon.
So, don’t tell people that anything might happen after the Cubs win back-to-back World Series. Otherwise, they will wonder how little history you actually know, as 1907 and 1908 were over 100 years ago!

For a smart guy Roubine dropped the ball:
Those ‘most at risk to commit a gun crime’ are by definition criminals. I can’t see that it’s stopped them from illegally possessing fire arms.

Even if a surviving one is running away. He’s a criminal!!!! I fully expect him to return with a different friend to finish off his easy mark or close his own deal on some perverted sense of respect he has. I expect society and its laws to leverage this guy way way way before he ever thinks about robbing me. IMO the local government would be at fault for failing to maintain order.

Yes, I am a contributor.
All I said was that we have already lost the US, that it would take an armed insurrection to restore the Republic under the Constitution, and that there will be no such insurrection.
I also said that if there were such an insurrection to restore the Republic under the Constitution in the works, I would have known about it and I would have been involved in it. By now, it would have succeeded! Suffice it to say that there is no such insurrection. There never will be any. You can take that one to the bank. The probability of it is zero. ZERO. Got that? ZERO.
This is not a thinly veiled call for anything. The US is DEAD. Think Germany in 1933, Russia in 1917, and so on and so forth.
The reason there has been no insurrection, and there will be no insurrection, is the following.
Think of the Wizard of Oz. The scarecrow had no brain. The tin man had no heart. The lion had no courage.
Think of the American citizenry. They have no brain, no heart, and no courage. Mentally, emotionally, and spiritually dead. WIthout possibility of resuscitation. DEAD. Stick a fork in them. NO possibility that they will start acting like living human beings with a sense of honor, or any kind of sense whatsoever.
And yes, I am continuing with my plans to emigrate. Suffice it to say they’re pretty far along.
Someday I’ll sell you food in return for what’s left of your precious metals. Your currency won’t even be usable as toilet paper. Unless, of course, you take my advice to emigrate.
While you still can.
