"Republican lawmakers who would be in charge of investigative and oversight committees plan to renew a stack of information demands that have languished before federal agencies over the last 22 months.

To Keep And Bear Arms
Patriot Post
A man presumably in his 20s attempted to carjack a black Cadillac Escalade at a gas station in Detroit, Michigan. The unnamed victim, 36, was pumping gas when he was attacked by the suspect. The victim's girlfriend had been in the gas station when the incident began but quickly ran outside, grabbed her daughter who was still in the car, and ran back into the station for cover. The suspect pulled a gun, shooting the victim, who grabbed his own pistol and returned fire as the carjacker was getting in the vehicle. According to police, more than 20 shots were fired, leaving the suspect dead and the victim with multiple hits to the face and body. He is in serious condition at a hospital; his girlfriend and daughter, though terrified, were not hurt. The victim has a valid carry permit."

"Change?
How is corrupt Chicago machine politics and tax-and-spend, big-government Socialism 'change?' He's 'written"' two autobiographies but examples of any other writing are nonexistent. Almost no voting record, and what there is is very bad. He’s surrounded by people you’d never want anywhere near the government, and he wants to spend your money to 'help others' while his own brother lives on a couple dollars a month in Africa and Barack doesn't do anything about it.
An empty suit into which the people have poured their hopes. The Arabs are not going to give him the time of day, let alone their respect. Hates guns and any personal freedoms other than abortion. Jimmy Carter II, but in a MUCH more dangerous world. Be prepared to endure inflation and many more terrorist attacks. I'd say he was a sleeper agent, if I could figure out who might be running him. How the media is in the tank for him baffles me."

When Is It Time?
Oleg Volk
"The end result, which we want to avoid, is the concentration camp. The gulag. The gas chamber. The Spanish Inquisition. All of those things. If you are in a death camp, no one would fault you for resisting.
But when you're being herded towards the gas chamber, naked and seventy pounds below your healthy weight, it's too late. You have no chance. On the other hand, no one would support you if you started an armed rebellion because the government posts speed limits on open roads and arrests people for speeding.
So when was it not too late, but also not too early?"
Unintended Consequences (John Ross)
========
"The empirical answer given in the book was 'when the new imposition makes future resistance impossible'. We submit all too often by going unarmed to locations where legal carry is restricted. Some locations also prohibit cell phones, making communication impossible. However, as a people we are still reasonably well armed and disappearance of a few people would put the rest on high alert.
The threat to the American people from its government is a lot lower than the threat from Nazi, Soviet or plain psycho regimes out there...it's our job to keep it that way."
