Notice any awakening?

I've had people inquire about ordering guns and ammo online. I have passed out some catalogues I get from some of them and told them places they can order cheap ammo. I've also told them how to go about getting guns shipped to a licensed dealer and paying the transfer fee. All were surprised at how easy it can be. They are also surprised at the lower prices for guns and ammo for the foreign made stuff. All are worried about the economy and the possibilty of having to defend themselves and their family.

Normally, I see people only awakening to their own troubles. They need to take the next step- putting the pieces together to figure out who is ripping them.

I was looking at ammo in Walmart during a fairly quiet time. The worker came over- young kid.... and we got talking. He never heard of Ron Paul, but when we got thru, he wrote down Ron Paul's name. The commoners are only fed puke food from the lamestream media.

Is like adding more water, too water soup.

the evidence that .gov cannot deliver on anything is all too obvious & plentiful,

When speaking with a redcoat never forget your main ammo source..

Good point. Before we speak to awaken them, we should listen to their troubles and frame the discusssion in terms of their specific troubles.

One reason people seem to be waking up now is that it is so blatant it is getting difficult to miss ,unless of course you are in a deep coma.

The simple truth about our nation.

My experience is that any type of beneficial awakening begets consequence. Have you ever tried to educate someone on something, and they don't believe it...but you see that flash of fear in their eyes? There is something inside of them that is saying what if he/she is actually right? Awakening to anything important usually has the unfortunate side effect of effecting one's fellowship with other people in a negative way.

I had one such argument this weekend at a dinner party. Friendly, but nonetheless, a true clash in opposite polarity. A married man, not dumb and a decent person, believes wholly that no one should be allowed to own a firearm.

You can imagine the fire that lights in my eyes when faced with such ignorance. Conversely, there was the edge of fear in his eyes that one of his cherished delusions just might be wrong - and if so, what else has he been wrong about? We didn't belabor the point as to not have politics pushed into the greater conversation, but the seed was planted.

I know its been mentioned here before, but I am really getting the vibe from people that they know something isn't right. Its too bad most of them are too lackadaisical to do a tiny bit of research and get to the bottom of whats not right. To top that off soon they won't be able to do a simple internet search on government dirt if this sopa bill passes. The number of times recently I've heard " I don't know who to believe anymore" is staggering.

Yes. There is a vacuum forming where there were previously iron clad beliefs in most people. But you can bet your bippy that people like us are going to be unable to fill that void. Only those with perceived authority can fill that void, and most of us don't have it.
