Get it through your head. The feds are looking for a certain profile: armed racist anti federal government [/quote] You just described the entire Obama regime. [/quote] 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. [/quote] You live in fear. [/quote] 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. [/quote] 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? [/quote] 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. [/quote] 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. [/quote] 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? [/quote] 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. [/quote]

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.
