Firearm Owner Discretion and Self-Censorship is More Important Now Than Ever

You just described the entire Obama regime.

Perhaps so. But remember that the feds play pretty hot and loose with the definitions of the above.

I'm just saying--

If a guy is posting about 30 rd mags, the feds think he's "heavily armed".

If the same guy calls a black criminal an ape in another thread, now the feds think he's a "heavily armed white supremecist".

If the same guy posts pro-states' rights comments in an anti-Obama thread, now the feds think he's a "heavily armed anti-government white supremecist".

That guy fits the profile for a "homegrown terrorist".

The feds can legally do whatever they want to him. Kill list. Drones. Indefinite detention. Anything.

Think about THIS:

You post something in a crime thread that could be misconstrued as "racist".

You post something in a firearm thread about using a certain dealer for 30 rd mags.

You post something in a government-criticism thread about states' rights and dissatisfaction with the federal government.

Guess what Uncle Sam sees--A HEAVILY-ARMED RACIST SUBVERSIVE WHO FITS THE "PROFILE".

Think about that!

You live in fear.

It sounds like a DNC DHS operative agent provocateur plan.

Should we shorten our shotgun barrels to 17 inches for you too?

All I'm saying is WATCH YOUR ASS. There is NO JUSTICE. You can be as right as the day is long but you'll be in a cell or dead. Your friends and family won't see you as a "hero". The media will say you're a terrorist. Everyone will say so. Even if your closest friends and family know the truth, it will only put them at risk.

Why do you care so much what others think? Do you think they're going to care about what you do or say when their time is up?

I care about my family and my business. If I'm not fighting for those things, then for what?

All I'm suggesting here is that people avoid the fed radar on the internet. Stand up where it counts--face to face with real live people that you know and trust. You're no good to anyone if you get locked up for some internet grandstanding bullshit.

The feds are looking for a certain profile--one that many users here go out of their way to meet.

Let's face it--censorship is SHIT. However, SELF-censorship can and will SAVE YOUR ASS sometimes.

The way things are going with the US government trying to root out internet "extremists" (freedom-loving Americans), it's probably a good idea to practice some self-censorship when it comes to mentioning firearms, ammunition, accessories and magazines.

Look, we're ALL proud to support the 2nd Amendment. And most of us couldn't care less about what the federal government thinks of us. No one is a coward for keeping their armaments secret. Frankly, it's a good policy REGARDLESS of federal government threats to freedom. No one here has anything to prove.

It's getting to the point where the internet is shamelessly being monitored. And it's being monitored for everyday ordinary Americans who aren't satisfied with the federal government.

We're all on one "watch list" or another. But the feds are getting more aggressive. Think about your families.

One more thing:

BEWARE THE "LOUD AND PROUD" TYPES!!! Just remember how feds bust "domestic terrorists"! They fabricate the whole situation, provide the plans and the munitions and then they BUST THE POOR UNWITTING FUCKER WHO GOT WRAPPED UP IN THE GOVERNMENT-MADE PLOT.

In other words, beware of the people who say keeping quiet about your armament is an act of cowardess. Either they are morans or they are out to get you.

And if you think GLP isn't being HEAVILY MONITORED, you are WAY OFF.

Just my 2 cents.

Sorry USA Listen to this until the end the last line ... the final say on the matter-sorry we led you -you are about to blindly follow.
The blind leading the blind -It was a good idea at the time.

Then that is on them. You are acting like it's a crime when it is NOT. Why does it bother you so much what they do? You are not fighting. You are complying by submission.

Look. I made this thread as a common sense recommendation that can benefit all who heed it as well as the site in general. You seem to be missing the point. I don't make racist posts. I don't reveal the specifics of my armament. I'm covered. This thread is a recommendation to those who are not so discrete.

I never said expressing yourself is a "crime". I made it clear in the OP that everyone here is on the same page when it comes to the 2nd Amendment.

The point of this thread is to point out that the federal government is cracking down on internet "extremism" defined by a certain profile which is:

1. armed (particularly with "assault weapons")
2. "racist"
3. anti federal government

These are all common topics here. This site is monitored heavily. If your posts meet the profile above, then YOU and YOUR FAMILY are being monitored heavily by people with an interest (financial and otherwise) in making their monitoring worthwhile.

Get it?

Oh I see your point but you are missing the point that there are many that DO NOT CARE what the feds think or say. The feds are NOT the law of the land. You give them power by thinking they are.

This person doesnt get it, I dont give a fuck about their fucking lists there agent final you chickenshit shill

No, I definitely get your point. I am one of the people you mentioned. I don't care what the feds think or say. But the feds do not CARE about the law. They have shown this time and time again with too many examples to even mention.

From importing hard drugs to unconstitutional executive orders to kill lists, the federal government does whatever they want with impunity because they are the biggest game in town.

They got to be the "biggest game in town" because the people did nothing to stop it. Instead they looked the other way and went about their business as usual.

I'm sorry. I wasn't aware that the US Constitution was written only to be read nervously, in quiet, dark corners where no one can see or hear you.

"The freemen of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise and entangled the question in precedents. They saw all the consequences in the principle, and they avoided the consequences by denying the principle. We revere this lesson too much... to forget it.” — James Madison

I think it is too late..we are all on their lists already.

^^^BEWARE of people like this!^^^

He doesn't get it.

In one thread you're critical of government.

In another thread you mention firearms.

etc.

Now you fit the profile.

Remember--there is a time and season for ALL THINGS.

They got to be the "biggest game in town" because the people did nothing to stop it. Instead they looked the other way and went about their business as usual.

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." - Edmund Burke

Please say what anyone could have done to stop it. Exactly when? Many people always wanted to prevent this situation, there are many freedom lovers, some quite clever and competent.

But the Feds play to win, and in some ways they are winning. Only in some ways. Even the government itself has pockets of resistance. Obama was forced to issue EO's about the gun issue, because he wasn't getting the legislation. Congress did its job well. The EOs are much weaker and have much less credibility.

I can see your point. I would just caution the loud and proud types to watch how they post in threads that have nothing to do with firearms. I would caution them to stay away from anything that heavily criticizes Obama or anything that could be misconstrued as even slightly "racist".

I know it seems extreme but the feds actually build profiles of what "domestic terrorists" are supposed to be like. They key words are:

armed
right-wing and
racist

And you KNOW the feds like to bend the definitions of those words.

I'm not talking about censoring yourself outright. I'm talking about using discretion when talking about "what kind", "how many" and "where you got them". It's common sense that's tragically uncommon around here.

You can add a few more to that list:

Christians
Constitutionalists
Tax protesters
Home schoolers
Members of the sovereign individual movement
Those who promote seceding from the union
Those who speak about admiralty law
Those who are anti-vaccine
Any "-ist" or "-phobe" not in line with the current agenda
Anyone who uses a term like "banksters"
Those who are critical of surveillance technologies
Those critical of the TSA and police checkpoints
Those opposed to the UN or New World Order

And the list goes on...

I can remember when the feds' terrorist profile even included people who had recently purchased a Farmers Almanac.

OP, I can see ur point on this, but I think our fates were sealed when we initially came to sites like GLP. Everything we've done online has probably been "heavily tracked" since the days of dialup bulletin boards.
