REBEL  ALLIANCE

note: only marginally post-apocalypse, more of a time travel love story.  But exceptionally written and on KU:
Tourists Of The Apocalypse

note: after reading the Internet rumor that Clinton collapsed and is being given Diasipin shots by the Secret Service, a damn song popped into my head. Van McCoy's "The Hustle".  Listen to the YouTube video and whenever they say "hustle", substitute "The Ep-Pee" in your head and visualize legions of Hillary fans doing a herky-jerky spaz dance.

note: this is actually good news:
article on hillary health problems
If you believe that the Presidents do as they are told, then it doesn't matter what their past suggests they would like to do themselves.  If Hilary is this brain humped, that means business as usual from the powers that be.  Which means Gun Control ONLY if that was already the plan.  Not just because SHE is elected.  So, cheer up!  Hilary is far more stupid than Obammy at this point.

As Mark Twain, never one to suffer fools gladly, said some time ago, there are lies, damn lies and statistics.  That being said, let’s look at a few statistics.  There are 125 million households in the US.  45% of them own guns.  Let’s call it around 55 million gun owners.  The average gun owner has four guns.  There are around 320 million guns in the US.  Now, I can see the plausibility of a minority of homes having guns.  There are a lot of asswhores crammed into the northeast and the Pacific coastal urban sprawl.  Most of those states are very unfriendly towards gun owners.  Since the majority of the population lives there, and gun ownership is treated like a privilege rather than a natural right, lawyers and law makers and bureaucrats constantly trying to tag team anyone who even thinks the Bill Of Rights is a “thing”, I would imagine the majority of folks just give up and accept as the natural order that the jack booted thugs will indeed protect them ( along with such Magic Kingdom Glittery Unicorn Fart tools as car alarms and extra locks and the ever popular Big Bad Mighty And Righteous “Command Voice” To Intimidate The Proletariat Unwashed Masses ).

*

Of course, if the average gun owner ( living in Flyover Country ) has four firearms, and there are 55 million of them, the math doesn’t exactly add up.  Even Ebonics Math can’t get something other than a one third discrepancy.  This is either another example of damn, damn lies ( statistics ) being a badly hidden propaganda tool of manipulation, or around one hundred million guns ( the exact number is unknown of course ) is made up of official LEO and military arms and all the guns that used to be owned legitimately and are now, after theft and illegal acquisition, owned by criminals.  We know the military doesn’t have all that many guns.  There are not that many trigger pullers mixed in with all those long tail logistics folks.  But I can see the majority of that belonging to criminals.  Those drugs, the sale of which is the only employment option for several million ghetto Blacks, do not protect themselves. 

*

Let’s just call those statistics Close Enough For Government Work.  So, out of 55 million gun owners, how many do you think will join the Rebel Alliance and fight back if the federal government outlaws guns?  It would at first blush seem an unlikely event.  Not because the gun owners so vastly outnumber the federal and LEO troops ( which, as I’ll postulate, they really won’t by all that much ) and so it is “illogical” to try.  The government has never stopped at trying to do something because it was stupid.  And in fact, Americans reaction to stupid does nothing but empower the elites to try it again ( the average citizen rolled over at the loss of States rights, the confiscation of gold, the prohibition of military weapons, vastly increased taxes, forced conscription, etc. ).  I think one reason total gun control most likely won’t happen is because citizens are so cowed and compliant because of crime.  If you take away too many guns, all those class warfare deaths would stop ( sure, there are those 100 million guns in the hands of criminals, but without legal ammunition they couldn’t kill as many folks ).

*

And, more importantly, the race war continuing right now wouldn’t have the impact without all those guns around.  Blacks are given 007 licenses to kill, Whites Gun Up in desperation ( rather than doing the smart thing and moving out of the area under siege ) and the fright and fear levels ratchet up.  The federal government is full of straight up incompetents with guns ( think Barney Fife in the airport ).  By letting civilians farm out the murder, those overpaid and fat “professionals” do almost no hard or dangerous work ( that is when the Environmental Protection Agency or Postal Service sends in their SWAT teams comprised of former members of BlackHawk.  Sure, scary, but they are too few in number to make much difference long term/big picture ).  Meanwhile, the really dangerous gun owners are safely out of the way in the rural areas.  Not only does this mean the ruling members of the hive are free of attacking rebels, but also that federal forces can be concentrated in smaller areas to protect the 10% who matter.  And-pay attention here!-all the outlier areas can be starved into submission.

*

And as far as how many gun owners will fight back?  I’d wager less than ten percent.  Probably more like 5%.  Isn’t that about the number who fought in the Revolutionary War?  Most people are blowhards, more bark than bite.  Now, mix in the Race War with the Gun Confiscation.  If guns are outlawed, I can guarantee you then some mechanism will be activated to create a surge in Black on White violence.  Gun Rebels, about equally matched with armed Federales, will also be fighting a separate battle against Blacks.  There might be a lot less Blacks but the average male Black, those not in prison, are urban combat veterans.  The average White gun owner is embarrassingly unqualified to use his tools against a live target.  This will create the resurgence of the fabled Lynch Mobs, further activating Black response and on and on.  Then, because there are not enough Federal forces to protect the Blacks against “racists and KKK members and White Trash vigilantes”, the less populated areas will be triaged as the paramilitary’s of the government protect the rich.

*

Law and order cease in those areas, and it becomes near anarchy.  You can bet that those areas cease to see the Ag Monopoly products being escorted in by troops.  Benign neglect creates a mass famine and starvation is used against the rebels.  Now, I’m not saying gun control will or will not happen.  What I am saying is that if it does, it is going to be more like “The Turner Diaries” than we are comfortable with.  Hell, throw in some Ukrainian Collectivism.  What it won’t be is some noble clean freedom reigns repeat of the Revolutionary War, yellow snake adorned flags a waiving in the breeze.   Which is what most gun owners are envisioning.  Once they get a graphically presented contrary example live on their tablet, most will pussy up and turn in their “pry it from my cold dead hands” semi-auto Freedom Carbine.
