Bunker Girls your included also, just wanted to keep the title short.

What makes you tick, why are you so sure that the world is out to get you, who are “They”, what have you done about it?

These are but a few of the questions that run through my mind when I read the rants and raves of the Bunker Boys. Most of the time it is just the mass regurgitation of previous rants and raves by a few very vocal Bunkerites.

Was there a single event that dove you to start digging?
I hope it wasn’t Ruby Ridge or Waco, those are very lame excuses given the background and actions of those involved prior to the confrontation.
Was it the rants of the Neo-*****?
What exactly has been taken away from you personally?
Do you vote?
Do you participate in your local, state or national governments?

Before I retired I was the Deputy Director of a County Emergency Management Agency, we planned for and responded to such nefarious things as natural disasters, mass casualties from transportation accidents and hazardous materials releases.
It seems as if any “emergency management” group is considered to be “Bad Guys” cause its real well known that FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) has “Concentration Camps” set up and ready to go, whew!
Do you Bunker Folks really believe that?
In Pennsylvania, the Department of transportation placed colored arrows along the Interstates to demark tested, safe routes to be used if the Interstates had to be closed do to an accident, The local “Lore” says its to funnel Bunker Types into the above mentioned camps. Just how far can you stretch things to go along with your perceptions?

Please share your thoughts with us “enquiring minds want to know”.

 

That is one good question. I am not a bunkerboy, but I once wanted to be. I think it has to do with protecting personal freedoms and right to own firearms to the last man. I am going to tune into this thread...

 

Have you lost any personal freedoms, if so, which ones?
No one has taken my right to own firearms away, has someone came and got yours?

 

Who ya askin'?

 

Go to California, and ask there, if any one came to take their guns away. Many rights are infringed, and removed in that state.

Try owning a gun in Washington DC..

itll only get worse unless we have some sort of system shock...the anticipation of such a bad world makes the bunker boy the way they are

 

Yeah, come to Kalifornia and talk about gun rights. I have to go to Arizona once in awhile to get a taste of freedom. I don't have a bunker but that may be a good idea.

I don't know this for sure but I have heard that FEMA has the power to separate your family up. For what purpose and under what conditions I don't know.

 

I am a Bunker Boy as you put it, but not to the extreme of thinking everyone is out to get me. I mean you have to admit there are some groups/organizations that are bent on taking certain freedoms away from people because they think that their way is the only way to do things. Those people are in themselves defined as Bunker Boys as it were because they think their way is the only way. I believe that all the rights of every American are to be protected. I will agree that guns need to be taken away…from criminals. But not those people, myself included, who obey the law and only own guns for self protection and the like. If you go and take all the guns away you will take all the guns away for a short time but then the criminal element will be able to attain weapons and then have the advantage over the rest and then crime rates begin to rise, etc. well as I was saying yes I am a Bunker Boy, not an extreme one mind you, just one that will do anything to protect his freedoms and those of others…within the scope of the law

PERFECT!!!

 

You are correct Sir. Just look at what happened in the Land Down Under. I consider Canada to be next. The UN has a monument with a pistol. The barrel is tied into a knot. They want to do the same to yours.

 

Yes, I know I'm getting personal here, I'm asking for your own expierences, not what you read, to you.

What personal freedoms have you lost? (Question open to anyone) No I heards allowed
When did California come and get your guns?

 

I live in California. Have all my life. Now California politicians aren't going to come in, outlaw guns and just take them away. That would be political suicide. The legal battle that would follow in the courts would tie it up for years costing millions of dollars. What they will do and are doing is taking them away in increments.

For example: California outlaws what they call "Unsafe Handguns". Who came up with this definition and what criteria was used to lable a handgun to be unsafe? Politicians, thats who. A handgun that is perfectly legal in one state and has no history of malfunction or of being unsafe cannot be sold here because of a lable put on it by people who don't know anything about guns and just want to outlaw them. A list of handguns that CAN be sold in California is listed in the Ca. Dept. of Justice web site. All others cannot be kept for sale, displayed for sale, sold, given or lent to anyon either from a dealer or private citizen, except for the police. I happen to have one of these "Unsafe Handguns". California politicians effectively told me that I cannot sell it, lend it, or trade it in or I would be breaking the law and probably loose my gun rights. But of course the criminal element will just go on their marry way as always. Gun laws will not effect the crinimal, only the law abiding citizen. So yeah, my rights have been taken away in this respect. The same thing has happend with high capicity magazines of which I own two of. I cannot buy or sell them because of the high cap. ban. "Assualt rifles". "Unsafe Handguns". Politicians who want to ban guns will stick a lable on a gun, then ban it because of its lable. They do it in increments.

The next gun restrictions comming down the pipe here in California is the handgun safty requirement. A bill was passed by the California legislateture recently that would require all handguns to have a series of safties on them before they can be sold here. Any gun not meeting those standards will be banned for sale. Gun manufactures will either put up or pull out, leaving the gun market in Ca. with slim pickins. It's awaiting the governors signiture. Another increment.

And lets not forget the trial lawyers. If you have to defend yourself using a so called "unsafe handgun" or a an "outdated" handgun without the new safty requirements, they will say you were neglegent and no doubt it will be brought up in a law suit against you. Politicians and trial lawyers will make it a very hostile enviroment for gun owners if these laws keep bearing down on us.

I don't think the solution is to hole up in the wilderness somewhere or hide in a bunker. Because if people do that, what freedom is there? Your a prisoner of your surroundings. Afraid to come out for fear of the government. And if the government can strike fear into the hearts of it's people, to where the people think they can do nothing about it, then they win. To me, that is not freedom but imprisonment. It is the people who should strike fear into the politicians running this country. For without us voters, they wouldn't be there. We are the ones with the power, not they. All we have to do is exercise that power with our voice and our vote. If we want to keep our freedoms, we must fight like those who went before us. Wage war not with guns, but wage a political war. Gun ownes and people who want to keep our freedoms must fight the good fight in the voting booth. These politicians who want to control our lives will not stop at outlawing guns. Outlawing guns is just the first increment.

I agree with some of what you wrote,i.e. who defines unsafe, but who allowed it to happen, who placed these politicians in the position in the first place?
As far as assualt rifles, high cap mags, I guess I never understood the reason for them in the first place. If one truley has "Gun Control" you shouldn't need more that two shots.

 

"This year will go down in history. For the first time, a civilized nation has full gun registration! Our streets will be safer, our police more efficient, and the world will follow our lead into the future!"
— Adolf Hitler, 1935 on the passing of the German Weapons Act.

jbrdrummer,

side note but on your signature "...Freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose - Janis Joplin"

should actually be attributed to Kris Kristofferson he wrote "Me and Bobby McGee". I know it's too good of a song to attribute to him, but of well. I listen to Roger Miller's version quite a bit.

My point, I really don't want to be doing what I should right now. Of course I'm going to be singing this song all day, not a bad thing though.

Back to my hole (not a bunker)
