Ahh, the current hysteria over civil violence. I recall fondly reading the issue of The Progressive back in the 60s or 70s, the one with the diagram showing the home grown leftist revolutionary how to make napalm-like Molotov cocktails – on the front cover. Also deserving mention are the Foxfire articles on how to riot successfully, how to avoid physical injury while being stomped by the police, how to recover from being Maced….
I think it is all a question of whose ox is being gored, that people are today upset over firearms while violent revolution a few decades ago was “cool” beyond criticism.
Never mind that Britain had a Mass Shooting in 2010 where the guy killed 12 and wounded another 12 with a double barreled shotgun and a bolt-action .22, but taking away THOSE guns will definitely stop it!
Mike, didn’t Obama’s “association”, Bill Ayers, once say that perhaps 25 million Americans who were not re-educable would have to be eliminated? Well, what would be used to go that? Of course, back when his name was brought up, Obama instructed us that “guilt by association” was wrong, but just for him I think.
There was also an in depth article, sourced only from publicly available data, on how to build a fusion bomb, published by The Nation or The Progressive, I forget which. Interesting reading. If only one had the tritium, the plutonium, the electronics and the other parts, it would likely have worked!
