We previously discussed the ongoing tribulations of Polymer80 here and here.  I told you the real intent behind all of this was to locate buyers of the kits.  As it turns out, I was right.

The reader stated that on the afternoon of December 10, 2020, they were visited by the ATF and were requested to surrender any Polymer80 kits. The ATF took custody of the Buy Build Shoot Kit and provided them with a receipt for the property. In the “Basis for Transfer or Seizure of Items” box, the ATF agent wrote “Polymer80, Inc. Investigation”. The email to TFB stated:

They are also going after customers. Had ATF at my house approximately 1pm yesterday telling me I need to surrender my P80 or he would return to raid my house with a warrant. Enclosed is my surrender sheet for proof. If anyone purchased a “Buy, Build, Shoot” kit from them they will probably be hearing from the ATF as well.

In my previous more amusing post (taken from reddit/firearms) on the ATF statement, one reader had a question on this and more explanation is required.

The ATF has allowed / will allow / no one knows if they will allow 80% receivers to be sold as non-firearms.  They have also allowed other required other parts to be sold that the builder needs to turn this into a firearm.

Apparently, the ATF doesn’t like the parts being sold as a kit (“Not a firearm becomes a firearm if in the same box as other not a firearm.  The status is unknown until your dog is dead”).  Those who purchased them separately (it is presumed) will not receive a visit from the ATF.  Thus, the reference in the cartoon to contradiction and paradox, with the subject being Schrödinger’s dog rather than Schrödinger’s cat, since the ATF likes to kill dogs in raids.

We’ve discussed this before, but here is an example case that should send chills up the spine of every veteran in America.

I’m not here asking for legal advice, just soliciting unqualified experience, anecdotes, and opinions regarding my situation. I’m a longtime gun owner and special operations veteran. A week ago, a friend committed suicide. In my pre-scheduled VA therapy appointment (I’ve been working through some things I saw in Afghanistan) I was candid with the VA therapist about how much this bummed me out, but repeatedly reiterated that I am not a danger to myself or others, and vehemently indicated that I am not suicidal.

This blue-haired, effete social work grad immediately called the police on me and initiated a 36 hour emergency psych hold. Three overweight city cops arrived at my home with their weapons drawn, in a more aggressive posture than I have held when speaking to armed and irritated Afghan villagers holding AKMs.

I complied politely and rode to the hospital, where I convinced the doctors not to involuntarily commit me for 14 days, which is what the VA provider asked them to do. That said, they explained that an “involuntary thirty six hour hold” had been initiated just to get me there. I’m still trying to figure out if this qualifies in relation to the involuntary commitment question on Form 4473.

I do not intend to receive/purchase another firearm before hiring a lawyer who is qualified on firearms law in my state, but recently separated from the military and can’t afford a lawyer right now. In the short term, does anyone have a general idea what this might mean for my gun rights? Again, I am not going to purchase another firearm before talking to a lawyer, but won’t be able to afford it for a while. Just looking for similar experiences and opinions.

Thanks, and as much as I hate to say it, be careful what you say to VA social workers. If you need help, definitely get it, but you can’t trust them to actually listen to what you’re saying.

I’m not an attorney, and this gentleman needs a good attorney.  With that said, I have a few observations.

First, the VA is FedGov.  Do not trust FedGov employees.

Second, find a good pastor who you can trust instead if you need to discuss things.

Third, this gentleman should safely put away his firearms in a location (only he knows where) until this blows over.

Fourth, do not trust “mental health” professionals.  Much of what they do is akin to witchcraft, sorcery and palm reading.

Via WRSA, this forensic report on the Dominion Voting System.

We conclude that the Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results. The system intentionally generates an enormously high number of ballot errors. The electronic ballots are then transferred for adjudication. The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, no transparency, and no audit trail. This leads to voter or election fraud. Based on our study, we conclude that The Dominion Voting System should not be used in Michigan. We further conclude that the results of Antrim County should not have been certified.

Not if the people in charge had any morals or scruples.  But they don’t.  They are corrupt, compromised, unprincipled, immoral and wicked.

I continue to post this under the category “War & Warfare.”  Because they are at war with you, whether you want them to be or not.  I continue to post this with the tag “2020 Election Fraud,” because the entire thing was a sham, a swindle, a deception.

Via WRSA, this piece at The Burning Platform is interesting.

What do I owe to my country?  Its central government is thoroughly and irredeemably corrupt. It is bankrupt both fiscally and morally. As of this writing, its judiciary has shown itself incapable of defending the Republic against the depredations of leftist rabble. The tentacles of its bureaucracy reach into the lives and wallets of the productive class “eating out the substance of the people” exactly as Jefferson warned.  Yet still, with the stench of corruption and theft pervading the country, this government  assumes my loyalty.

What, pray tell, has it done to deserve it? Mobs of the indoctrinated expect that we should all just “get over it” and “come together to heal” as if the gangrenous clot of necrotic tissue that is the political culture of this nation will ever heal.  Our rulers, our media, and half our “countrymen” piss down our backs and still insist it’s raining. The fealty of helots is what the Lords of Washington expect. They will not get it from me.

The loyalty of free men is reserved for a government of equals, not an aristocracy of reptiles. The latter is what we suffer now. The former we once possessed, but it lies now in the dust of history. The outward form and function remain, but the spirit of liberty, which animated it, has gone. The ties by which free men bind themselves voluntarily to any form of government have long since been sundered by the actions of those who have chosen to rule rather than govern. I will not suffer those ties to become shackles.

Since my forbears bequeathed to me a form of government that no longer exists, I am released from further obligation to the abomination that has replaced it. My loyalty, like my liberty, belongs to me and me alone. It is mine to give or to withdraw as I see fit. I owe the rulers of this land nothing: not life, not liberty, not the pursuit of my own happiness. These things are mine from my first breath to my last gasp. They cannot be abrogated, regulated, or terminated by the denizens of a distant city who presume to know what is best for me. These…people (I do not have the words for the contempt I feel for them) have polluted our forms of government, destroying what they can, dismantling what they cannot.

Everywhere is grift and graft. They have taken nearly everything, yet they still want more. They want my body shackled, my spirit humbled, and my mind enslaved. They try to steal the very breath from my body with their filthy rags. They have trampled upon my God-given rights, indoctrinated my children, accused me, threatened me, and silenced me. Now they have stolen even my choice from me. This government and its leftist appendages have betrayed my trust and half my fellow citizens treat me and mine with undisguised contempt. My loyalty to them and to their government is at an end.

Whether he knows it or not, he’s describing covenant and contract.  Lawyers take classes in this sort of thing, and remember it only when it’s convenient for them and pads their wallets.  Since lawyers are taught not to believe in God’s law, they believe that rights come from the state.

This is simple and easy to remember, and makes life understandable.  Rights come from the Almighty, of course (as do the corollary duties and responsibilities as He dictates), and He governs His creation in only a single way: covenants.  This is true of families, church and its leadership, state and economics.  If a church denies the authority of the Scriptures, even if you have taken a vow of submission to the church (you won’t bring divisiveness or schism, you’ll use your talents to help your fellow congregants, etc., all very customary for church membership), those vows are null and void because the church leadership has broken covenant.

If a man regularly beats his wife or harms his children, or is unfaithful to his wife, they are no longer under obligation to fealty and faithfulness to him.  God recognizes the legitimacy of divorce in circumstances like that because the covenant has been breached.

If a man steals from you, the Scriptures say that he is to become your slave until the debt is paid back in multiples.  God’s covenant of property ownership has been broken and must be restored.  There is no such thing as a crime against society.  God doesn’t recognize this false notion.  There are crimes against individuals, and justice must be served.

When the state breaks covenant with tyranny, the terms of the covenant are broken and God doesn’t recognize it as legitimate.  This Calvinian concept of covenant was taught in church sermons on a regular basis well prior to and leading up to the war of independence.  It is the basis for our liberty.

I am not a libertarian.  I am a Christian libertarian.  Liberty and freedom are to be found in God’s laws, following His commandments, and following His covenant structure for all of life.  R. J. Rushdoony has taught us this.  Remember this lesson.

Yes. We can explain it. She knows it will show election fraud on a massive and terrifying scale.@realDonaldTrump @LLinWood @KrakenWood@GenFlynn https://t.co/2DwBLgAoAN

The communists are conducting warfare. Our side is playing tiddlywinks. But we’ll make sure to be honest, fair, and gentlemanly, and afterwards, can we eat with the communists in the congressional lunch room?

The Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is corrupt and likely in the pocket of the CCP.

“I am not sure the secretary of state has the backbone for this,” Fulton County poll manager Suzi Voyles said. “We have turned in thousands of unlawful voters and not one of them has been prosecuted.”

Brown agreed that Raffensperger may be out of his depth, noting that “this is his first political office.”

“He is a little bit afraid, politically, and buckled a little more than he should have to Abrams, who’s trying to stir up racial discord,” he said. “That’s why he printed up all those absentee ballot [request] forms and sent them to people who hadn’t asked for them — which was just a terrible action, because it creates all kinds of problems with double voting and other fraud — and that’s why he agreed to install all those drop boxes, which just opens the door for illegal ballot harvesting.”

Notice that I don’t give him the latitude to simply be incompetent.  I think he’s as corrupt as the Georgia governor.

Lin Wood currently has a complaint before the supreme court.  In it, he says this.

Finally, there is a runoff election scheduled in January 2021 for two U.S. senatorial seats in Georgia, and if the challenged procedures are employed, it will further aggravate the Petitioner’s continuing constitutional injury. The constitutional violation will repeat without having been reviewed. Accordingly, this controversy is not moot.

The point is that the corruption there on election day in November, will be there for the runoff election, and not a single court in the land has stepped in to stop the corruption.  Nor have any state assemblies had the courage and moral scruples to do what’s necessary to save fair and free elections in America.

Via WRSA, Zero Hedge has this statement by Newt Gingrich.

“We need to win by a bigger margin than the left can steal. So we need to get every single conservative out.”

I don’t think he understands how math works.  If you take every vote for Biden and multiply it by 1.20, and every vote for Trump and multiply it by 0.8 (or similar for senators), you simply increase the margin of fraud.

Here is a prediction: the corruption stands, and two more democratic senators get added to the rolls.  The number of GOP votes will have nothing whatsoever to do with the outcome.

I hope I’m wrong.

This comes from Kenny’s place, although I can’t locate the post now.  I think it’s good to know history, and military history seems particularly salient in these times.

General Cornwallis didn’t start the campaign in the South.  He began in the North, and when troop movement stalled, the British pivoted to Charleston where they intended to interdict imports coming to port.

They got bogged down in the South due to a number of things, including weather (hot and humid, leading to diseases for which they were unprepared), insurgents, and inability to rely upon loyalists.

The battle of King’s Mountain ended their hopes of turning loyalist troops into a strategy for victory.  We’ve discussed King’s Mountain at length before.

The “Supreme Court” did what I predicted they would do.  I was correct, though I take no joy in that fact.  At Instapundit, Glenn has this post up.  Most interesting to me isn’t the fact that the court rejected the argument, nor what the experts think about that.  It is the comments on the article, which are currently well over 1100.  A sample of them follows.

I’ve been pondering a reaction to this news. Fairly simple. It’s time to get serious.

How so? Whatcha gonna doo?

Insurgency.

It’s time to finally accept the fact that we have a corrupt Federal government that prosecutes not based upon the rule of law, but based upon politics. We cannot rely on what is right or what is legal to save us.

It’s a complete and total game changer.

Depends on how froggy Texas and the States that joined her get. If the noise about secession or Art I, Sec 10 — and war between the States — gets heavy: Expect it.

IF THE SUPREME COURT

will not uphold the Constitution, and the next administration is in office only through the open in-you-face rigging of a national election in a handful of counties in a handful of swing states, what moral responsibility do we have to follow SCT decisions and listen to the next administration?

None, I would argue.

War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.
– William Tecumseh Sherman

SO be it. The Constitution is dead, no Constitution, no Republic. No Republic, no federal government.

Good bye all of my Instapundit/DISQUS comrades, time for war and I bid you adieu.

Civil War is the only solution now. The republic is as corrupt as 1936 Spain.

We’re in a new era. Rules are for chumps.

Welcome to dystopia.

For ideas on resisting tyranny, read Matt Bracken’s Enemies Foreign and Domestic book 1 and read up on history, such as Barbara Tuchman’s The Proud Tower.

The GOP is DEAD to me. At all levels of government.

This country is something I despise now.

This is only a smattering.  It’s all very serious.  The American public has been placed in an awful position.

A few urban areas controlled by democrats pulled their pants down to their ankles, mooned the rest of America, and America is going to have to decide whether to take it, and if not, exactly what to do about it.

Circle the wagons.  This may get froggy.
