First they came…

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Now they’re coming for the guns… Who will speak for us?

On August 20, Gun Owners of America executive director Larry Pratt described the Democratic Party on the federal level as “increasingly” tyrannical and focused on passing laws to take guns away from law-abiding Americans.

Pratt said, “The Democrat Party has increasingly become a party of tyranny. And you can’t be a good tyrant if there are a whole bunch of schlubs running around with guns.”

The Social Security Administration (SSA) said in a letter to the House Ways and Means Committee that it plans to add some recipients to the federal gun background check system, effectively barring them from legally purchasing firearms.

So the very people, the elderly, that NEED protection, are now under the hammer to potentially lose their rights to own/posses guns… Article HERE.

Jim Crow laws, Reconstruction, the AWB, how many other instances…

Who will speak for us???

    Ed- We’re ‘small fish’ in a very large pond. Our voices will never be heard over the ‘rabble’…

  3. You have to admit it’s sorta funny that it’s the socialists and trade unionists who are coming for the Jews and the rest of us.

    Post “I am not a robot” comment
    As the news reader on the TV was talking about a plane crash, I was clicking airplanes to prove I am not a robot.

  4. First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
    Because I hate those F*%Kers. They had it coming

    Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because they were all socialists too.

    Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— See #1 and #2.

    Then they came for me — And I shot them in the face..

    This is not that complicated. Even Hitler feared the rise of his passive masses.
