Musket Ramble?

He's just looking for clues at the scene of the crime.

If right wing extremists continue to make provocative insurrectionist remarks on the air and refuse to respond to the voice of reason and the possibility of legal charges, then Secret Service agents need to reach for their muskets.

And by "muskets," of course, I mean (in a metaphorical sense) criticism, shaming, denunciation, sarcasm, and weaponized votes.

The south will rise again, then get beat down again because there are a lot more people against them than for them. And they have bigger guns.

freedom means they get to do whatever they want and you're not allowed to to anything to them. I think it's "fair" that they're having a problem with more than freedom.

Either they don't want to interfere with the election and are waiting till Nov 9th, or the opposite and they're waiting for Nov 7th.

I thought civil disobedience required a blunderbuss.

Brown people, gay people, liberals, LEOs, gov't. agents, Muslims, atheists, non-christians, people who look funny, people who look at them funny, drug addicts, single moms. I could go on, but it gets too depressing.

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose.

I don't think Hillary is going to clobber him. I hope I'm wrong, but I think it's going to be a tight race, with Hillary winning. But that's just IMO, I'm feeling kind of "glass half empty" about the US right now. Maybe it's election fatigue.

When he talked about inviting all his pals to a musket-grabbing party, I just naturally assumed that 'Musket' was Joe's nickname for his mini-Joe ... what, it's not?

Of course, that would be assuming these ppl are men enough to be standing tall behind them. They will probably be cowering in the bunkers while surrounding themselves with women and kids. Cos freedom.

Well, when I say revolt, I really mean sit on my ass in front of a microphone. And when I say grab your musket, I really mean ask Thomas Jefferson if he thinks I'm right. And when I say fight the feds, I really mean call my lawyer because I got this summons for not paying my child support.

Hey Wishy Walshy, a musket is a TERRIBLE firearm. Slow and cumbersome to load, dangerous to fire (black powder struck with a flint creating an open spark 3 inches from your face? Who doesn't want that?), depressingly unreliable, and astoundingly inaccurate. Good for beaver hunting but literally nothing else.

Even easier then. Walk up and pound on the door quoting Ethan Allan

"In the name of the Great Jehovah and the Continental Congress" open up! They will think they are saved and can be Tased, disarmed and herded into the FEMA camps at leisure.
