I don't agree with how they portray Lavoy Finicum but that is another topic.

I read through the actual specific things they refused to do and I think I pretty much could agree with everything said there.

A lot of interesting replies here regarding where the "line" is. But I think everyone has become a little bore sighted on that particular question.

With recent national events taken into consideration, how about answering the question of "How close do you think we are?"
London 808 doesn't seem to feel we're that close, I think we're right up against the line. Where do you think we're at?

I feel we are closer that folks think we are and closer than they are prepared for. Hawaii is naturally buffered from mainland it will most likely kick off there and then ripple here when supplies run out.

Mac,

This is the same guy that refuses to join the NRA, HRA and HDF (for free) because he "doesn't agree with with something on their webpage". Sound familiar? Even though he can never say what it is exactly he disagrees with...

He is not interested in doing the right thing for the good of all (the republic). He is only interested in what is best for his narcissistic self. JMHO

So here is a question for everyone if you so choose to answer:

If you wait until they start confiscation or pass confiscation legislation before you draw the line, isn't that a little too late? Havn't they already won by that point?

I choose to answer.   Years ago I had the opportunity to work with retired Hawaii county police chief
Wayne Carvalho, we had lots of time to talk as I drove him up to Mauna Kea summit.
We got on the subject of gun registration and a few other gun things.  Keep in mind this guy is a first
rate crook, thug, and hero in some locals eyes.
I'm paraphrasing, He said register all your guns, but when they show up to confiscate, say
"hey Bra, I sold them to some guys I met in a Hilo bar and I don't have them no more, I was
drinking and don't remember everything".
That was the suggestion of the ex police chief, Wayne Carvalho. 
I don't know if that will work for Haole guys, but I suspect
it will work for locals.
I fully expect to see disarmament legislation( from Josh Green) very soon. 
I suspect the police will very gleefully and forcefully enforce the law. 
I suspect all registered gun owners will comply.
Hawaiians aren't known for their desire for personal liberty, having
come from a slave culture of obedience to the Monarchy,
the plantations, and now the rich Democrats.
Aloha.

Its not that i dont feel we are close, IMO we have over stepped the mark already, If what was happening now happened 20 years ago we would be at war already, The problem is the government has spent the past 2 decades dumbing down the education system teaching liberalism and socialism and essentially dumbing down the last 2 generations.

any action taken to better the country needs to have the support of the people, Otherwise instead of a freedom fighter you are a terrorist, The problem we have is the left has blinded the population so much that the support is not there and im not sure if will ever be there again.

 :popcorn:

I never said I wasn't going to join the HRA, I said I didn't know enough about it and wanted to make an informed decision before joining so you are wrong there. You are half right about my position on the NRA, I didn't like their stance on some issues and I had read people's complaints of harassing calls asking for donations. I have attended two gatherings at the state capital in the interest of protecting gun rights. Edster can vouch for me and so can JI808. Were you there?

Good idea but I am going to have to come up with 8 equally plausible and diverse stories to cover all my guns.

Maybe I am an optimist but I don't think we are there yet. I could see us being there within the next decade though under the right circumstances though,

Again, actions speak louder than words. If you were going to join any of these great 2A organizations, you would have already. Let's face it, my offer to you was over 6 months ago. You have made no efforts to try. And that is all that matters. A lack of effort says it all.

Where were you when I was at the state capital when we gathered 200 strong? Where have you been volunteering for a myriad 2A related events over the last 8 years that I volunteered for? At least a dozen I can remember. Where were you sitting both days at the last gun show trying to get people to sign up to the forum? Don't try and pull that I was there where were you crap on me. I have done more for this community in the last 8 years I have lived here than you have in your entire lifetime.

Mac,

Notice he has still ignored your request. He did the same to me when I offered to pay for his memberships to the great 2A organizations here in Hawaii. He ignores your requests then when pushed comes up with a lame excuse as to why he has not answered you. This guy is all hot air and little action.

Totally agree.


The problem is the government has spent the past 2 decades dumbing down the education system teaching liberalism and socialism and essentially dumbing down the last 2 generations.

I think there is more to the story than simply the teaching of the various ideological "-isms" that has led to the societal problems we currently face.

You mentioned that if today's problems occurred as early as 20 years ago, the potential of civil war was a high probability.  The reason for that was not necessarily because of the absence of liberalism and/or socialism in the school system, but rather people back then were far less brainwashed with US infallibility.

Since WWII, this country has indoctrinated its citizenry of the infallibility of the US; hence, anything and everything the US does at home or abroad was brainwashed into the US psyche as always being righteous.  This had a double-edged effect of making the masses accept whatever those in power wanted.  In many cases like the championing of individual freedom, rights to due process, and possibility of social mobility among the masses was without a doubt beneficial to the US and furthered the infallibility dogma.

However, more recent actions led by greedy corrupt politicians/businessmen/ideologues/cultists that led to such things like the illegal overthrows, propping up dictators, and imperial wars of aggression in the foreign area and the slow erosion and morphing of the US Constitution and Bill of Rights here at home went unfortunately unopposed by the masses including conservatives because of that brainwashing.  Let us not forget that the Patriot Act that was an attack to our sacred "due process of law" was drafted good, bad, or indifferent by the Republicans who were supposed to be more inclined not to subvert the Bill of Rights.

If both the liberal and conservative masses 20+ years ago would have taken to the streets if faced with today's social problems, it is indeed eye-opening that not even the ultra-conservatives of today are marching as fervently like their forefathers in the past.



any action taken to better the country needs to have the support of the people, Otherwise instead of a freedom fighter you are a terrorist, The problem we have is the left has blinded the population so much that the support is not there and im not sure if will ever be there again.

Once again, it is not the left that is solely at fault.  When you have the majority of a nation's citizenry (i.e., the sheeple) believing in the righteousness of its government regardless which "-ism" is in power, organizing citizen action to correct those government-caused problems will be near impossible.

Boats are treated like a home, if documented, it is sovereign US territory subject only to the laws
of the US until you anchor or approach with 12 miles of another nation.  You don't need state
permission to operate or own a boat once you are afloat and not at anchor.
Hawaii has a silly assed licensing law that if anyone ever took on,  would get tossed out.
I could sit 12 miles off the coast and sell AK 47's to Hawaiians and there isn't much you
Democrats could do about it.
A boat is very different from a car.

Getting from the launch ramp to 12 miles out could be a problem if the USCG is about and wants to do a safety check, though, no?

I would not mind taking my little 23' boat out 12 miles to do some test firing, but getting out there without being hassled would worry me.

Sometimes a gunowner who also owns a dremel, grinders, files, sandpaper, Rotozip tools, heat guns, welders and reciprocating saws including large vises can be just as hazardous to a receiver.   Mistakes and the receiver just becomes a piece of metal or industrial waste as we used to call it.
Very common, doncha know.  Live and learn.
