And non "gun nuts" too - because the first 3 dont seem to have any impact 
or effectiveness anymore - reflected clearly in the criminal SOBs running 
the circus in DC, from the President on down to the CONgress, and the 
continued high poll numbers from the sheeple and support from the press. 

Soap Box - I dont like the statists and can quote you a lot of 
reasons smaller is better and less intrusive is better for government - 
but that doesnt sway the sheeple because they arent going to think and 
you cant "make" them do so.

Ballot Box - so I vote against the guys, but that doesnt work because the 
sheeple are happy as long as they can keep voting themselve money 
extracted from my pockets, no matter what crooks aned liars the put in 
there.  Like my Senator Wham whom I have voted AGAINST in every election 
that I could.  Betcha 905+ of the voters FOR her couldnt name one of her 
political positions.  And if you do have problems, buy yourself a 
legislator and make a more favorable law through him - or buy a ballot 
issue and try to fool enough of the people for a short time (works on 
some things and not on others).  And even if you do manage to get it on 
the ballot, theres no guarantee the voters will even see the issue due to 
the b'crats screwing you sensless (the last Med Marijuana issue comes to 
mind - and the rediculous Supremem court ruling about Bumbling Buckley's 
screwups).

My last resort, the jury box isnt doing it either because the judicial 
system has degenerated into how one can impress the jury rather than who 
is right and what the facts are.  And if you have enough money and 
friends it never gets to you anyway (Hello Mr & Mrs Ramsey and OJ).

So where does that leave us?  Ammo Box.  Once enough people get to that 
point *AND* get pissed, its going to get ugly in America - I just hope to 
be the hell out of the way before that happens, as long as the Govm't 
leaves me alone.  I sowre to uphold and defend the consitutuion, but I 
can hardly see it anymore through the thicket of laws and special 
treatment and "old boy" netwrk that have accreted on it (much like the 
barnacles on a ship's hull).  Time for a good cleaning - question is - 
will it be peaceful (sunsetting laws and agenceies) or violent (collapse 
under its own weight) or apocalyptic (people take up arms to rid 
themselves of what they perceive as a tyrrany).

I hope for the former, expect the middle case, but fear the latter.
