My name is Col. Reaper, Commanding Officer of the Arizona State Militia.
Few of you may know who we are, rest assured this is not mutual. Here in Arizona we are very aware of the very real and present danger you currently face. Never before has the constitution been so grievously offended by those sworn to uphold its guaranteed liberties. Unfortunately you our brothers and sisters of Connecticut find yourselves involved in what appears to be a cold civil-war at the hands of those elected to protect you. In one foul swoop, once law abiding citizens found themselves threatened with felony prosecution and imprisonment for simply embracing a guaranteed liberty. In keeping with America’s tradition of rebellion it is estimated that 100,000 owners of restricted firearms have refused to register in accordance with a new tyrannical law that usurps the intent of our founding documents.
You are not alone. III Percenters across the country are watching, waiting to see what takes place. Against popular belief your countrymen will not stand idle and watch as doors are kicked in and families are murdered for embracing a constitutional freedom. An attack on the Citizens of Connecticut will not go unanswered by the Three Percent surrounding you. The right to bear arms shall not be infringed. If even one round is fired in the direction of the law abiding it will most assuredly be the second coming of the shot heard round the world. As Americans once stood firm at the North Bridge in Concord so should you stand firm today. As Capt. John Parker once said “Stand your ground. Don’t fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here”. It is said that history is doomed to repeat itself, I pray this not to be true.
If we are to learn anything from our past it is that civil war serves to benefit no one and rarely turns out as anticipated by the aggressor when righteousness is on the side of the oppressed. I urge you to use whatever judicial and legislative tools are at your disposal to correct this situation peacefully, When Democracy turns to tyranny the armed citizen still gets to vote. I urge you, contact your elected officials and voice your want to have this tyrannical law repealed. For if the Civil war they are so hell bent on starting kicks off, it will not and cannot be constrained within one state. “We must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately”. Stand fast my brothers and sisters for the eyes of the III% are upon you!
Signed,
Col. Reaper
