Where Do Virginia Patriots Go After Richmond?

1/23/2020

 
Some good words from Herschel Smith's article at Captain's Journal.
Picture

What Richmond Accomplished

Richmond was a morale-booster for patriots.  It showed that they can come together on fairly short notice and focus on and achieve unity of action.  Whether it did anything to dissuade the communists from pursuing their goals isn’t the point.  I couldn’t care any less about that.  “Can a leopard change its spots?”  What it did do is give patriots the moral high ground.
It took many years of deliberations, thousand upon thousands of letters, endless debates, and numerous local meetings to send word back to the continental congress, to achieve unity of action for the war of independence.  What makes anyone think that recovery of the liberties we squandered will be any easier?  But it gave the continental congress the moral high ground.  That brought the people along with them.
The founders needed the moral high ground.  Without it, and without unity of action, it would have been anarchy.  Anarchy is bad.  It means, in today’s parlance, Bosnia on steroids.  No one wins.  Your family won’t survive, you won’t survive, and if anything comes of it, the .gov will pick patriots off one by one.
The moral high ground for Virginians was attained on Monday.  That’s good for the psyche of patriots, for the planning stages for going forward from here, and for implanting the knowledge that they’ve once again told the planners, “This is the last warning – we won’t live be these edicts.”  To be sure, Virginians were asleep at the wheel, like a lot of us, but they are awake now, and they don’t need our bitching, griping, moaning and complaining about what they did or didn’t do.  They need ideas.  With that in mind, I’d like to propose a few starters to get the ball rolling.  I’ll pose it in the form of questions / comments.

Practical Suggestions

Do you think it’s impressive to show up at the rally so fat that your tactical vests cannot even contain the fat rolls?  Is that the image you want to present, and how intimidating do you think that is?  Do you understand the bad optics of that sort of presentation?  How useful would it have been to show up with 6% body fat, muscular, fit and trim, wearing kit that becomes you, carrying impressive weaponry (more on that in a moment)?
I was reading Tom Ricks some time ago (whom I dislike), and was reminded of something that happened in Mogadishu.  History will show that the Marines were in Mogadishu before the Rangers / Delta.  The warlords there saw the Marines, their unity of action, their intent, their heavy kit, and the desire for a fight, and told their people to stand down.  Besides, if 20 Marines would have been killed, based on their history, they would have sent 20,000 to take their revenge.  That’s just how they are.
The most significant and immediate effect of the new communist laws will be on FFLs.  Have you purchased all you need to purchase?  What about ammunition?  What are your plans for going out of state to make your procurement in the future?  Have you considered the logistics of this thing?  Do you know how to spot a poser who wants to arrest you as your cross the state lines back to Virginia with your ammunition, and how to avoid him?  You know that ammunition is next in line if the communists have their way.
