Richard Celata says the event will take place sans any gun building.
Straight from owner Richard Celata:
Due to the recent raid on KT Ordnance, our Whiskey Day Memorial Machine Gun Shoot, 80% Gun Build, and Ice Cream Social, has been changed to: The Whiskey Day Memorial Machine Gun Shoot and Ice Cream Social, NO gun building of any kind will take place.
I was advised by the JBT’s (also known as F Trop) NOT to have the shoot. I say, Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead. We are going to have our shoot, as our God given, Constitutionally protected right, and I will not be bullied. They may put me in jail, but they will never conquer us.
This might be worth showing up to, at least for a few days. My schedule should have me already taking some vacation in the UP of Michigan around that time, so a quick jog over to Montana (hah!) for a couple of days of shooting with some of the more, shall we say, enthusiastic gun loving types could be a good time.
The rest of Richard’s release is below the fold.
If we as Americans cannot put on a better showing than those illegal aliens did, then we deserve to die. I am asking all Americans to come to Dillon on July 15 to show support for our cause. And what is that cause? It is literally your life! I have, with firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, pledged to each of you my life, my fortune, and my sacred Honor. They have taken my fortune; my freedom or my life may be next.
Will you pledge just one week of fun and shooting to me, and the cause? Look at how successful the biker weeks are. Can we as gun owners not do better? Or are we as gun owners too weak and afraid? You may be next if we do not stop this NOW. No more Ruby Ridges, Wacos, Dillons, and the list goes on, and it will continue to go on, if it is not stopped NOW.
Send the JBT’s back to Washington DC, and tell them there that America’s daughters and her sons are theirs no more. Tell them America is free.
I hope to see before me an army of my countrymen here in defiance of tyranny. You have come to fight as free men, and free men you are. What will you do without freedom? Will you fight?
Fight against JBT’s you say? “No, we will run, and we will liveâ€.
Ay, fight and you may die, run and you’ll live. At least for a while. And dying in your beds many years from now a slave, would you be willing to trade all the days from this day to that for one chance, just one chance to come back here and tell the JBT’s that they may take our lives, but they’ll never take our freedom.
I don’t want to be a martyr. I want to live. I want my home, and children, and peace. I’ve asked God for these things. It’s all for nothing if we don’t have freedom.
Let this end with me. Let me be the last victim of this rogue agency. Are you mad as Hell yet? Go to your windows and open them wide and yell to everyone, “I’m mad as Hell, and I’m not going to take this anymoreâ€.
Now go, make your plans to come to Dillon, Montana on July 15th. Do not let this die, or you will die as cowards. We all end up dead; it’s just a question of how and why. Every man dies, not every man really lives.
