Macabre And Non-PC Observation

The gunman in Pittsburgh killed three and made a vegetable out of a fourth police officer.

CNN's narrative about the situation paints the shooter as someone who was convinced that the US Government was going to take away his guns so he went on a rampage to stop the confiscation.

That's a 4:1 kill ratio.

If Mike Vanderboegh is correct about the 3% being about three million people willing to shoot back, that means they're going to need about 12 million cops. That's bigger than the Army.

I also think that a good sized hunk of law enforcement and the military will not participate in enforcing a door-to-door seizure of privately held firearms. Oath-Keepers comes to mind.

Most of the 3% are familiar with this:

"During an arrest, you think since you aren’t guilty, how can they arrest you? Why should you run away? And how can you resist right then? After all, you’ll only make your situation worse; you’ll make it more difficult for them to sort out the mistake.

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family?

"Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?

The Organs [government agencies] would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! We didn’t love freedom enough. Every man always has handy a dozen glib little reasons why he is right not to sacrifice himself."

I've said before, "Never make me choose if it's me or you who dies. I pick you every time."
