~~ The Weaponite Writings ~~

For all of human history, weapons equal power.
Power to the people, means weapons to the people.
We the Weaponites, will not be subjugated.

Principals:
1. Our purpose is to arm all peace-loving peoples for their own salvation. This is the way.
2. Safety and personal responsibility is the first priority of all Weaponites.
3. Weaponites are free to own and carry all weapons and weapon accessories. Firearms are our traditional choice of holey instrument.
4. We never use weapons offensively. Weapons must only be used in the defense of ourselves, our family, our loved ones, and other peaceful peoples.
5. We do not attempt to explain life's origin, or after life. That is only for you or your God to answer.
6. Weaponites must carry or have quick access to a weapon at all times. But thou shalt not look down upon the unarmed.
7. Intimidation or threats must never be used against peaceful peoples.
8. Weapons make us equal, so no one Weaponite has dominion over any other person.

Steppers:
1. Steppers are the mortal enemy to the Weaponites. They seek to ply their evil trade to enslave and kill our peace-loving people.
2. Their goal is to control and ultimately seize our holey instruments, so that they can exercise their power over our lives.
3. Steppers often use legal, emotional, and other weapons against the Weaponites.
4. Weaponites must fight steppers in a unified front, and using their own tools.
5. To combat the steppers, legal and emotional systems must be leveraged first, and to a very great degree, before weapons are ever considered.
6. Steppers always attack or imprison first. Allowing them this mistake once, is the only way Weaponites maintain their moral high ground.
7. Impeccable OpSec is a critical skill to subverting the steppers trade.
8. Weaponites do not compromise with steppers. We hope and strive for peaceful co-existance with them.

Worship:
1. Our monthly gun powder burning ceremony is known as chruch, and happens in the first weekend of the month. Bringing firearms and ammunition is encouraged.
2. Church takes place at the local gun range, and lasts from 1 to 6 hours.
3. Attending church is not mandatory to be a good Weaponite, but regularly practicing with your weapon is.
4. Edged and other weapons are also welcome at church, provided they follow sound safety practices.
5. New visitors to the Weaponite ceremony must feel safe and welcome.
6. Weaponite priests wear armored plate carriers to church. However, all are free to do so.
7. Armor is to protect from accidents and attacks, so that we may continue protecting peaceful people.
8. Priests must act to protect the Weaponite ceremony through training and look outs.

Orginization:
1. All of our members are known as Weaponites.
2. Weaponites are equal to each other, and all other non-Weaponites.
3. Members that contribute significant cultural impact to weapons, are considered holey prophets. Carnik Con, Samuel Colt, and John Browning are our first three prophets.
4. Weaponite leaders are referred to as caliber cardinals. DemolitionRanch, Hickok45, and Forgotten Weapons are our first three cardinals.
5. Weaponite priests are members who take extra responsibility for the safety of chruch operatons. Any Weaponite may elect themselves to be a priest.
6. The Weaponite Writings may only be modified by the Weaponite founder, or 60% of cardinals and prophets in the founder's extended absence.

Spreading:
1. To spread the Weaponite word, one must be properly headspaced.
2. To become headspaced, you must strictly follow the Weaponite principals.
3. Arming a neighbor, and teaching them the Weaponite Writings, is protecting their life.
4. The only cost to being a Weaponite shall be the purchase or creation of a weapon.
5. Charitable donations to the Weaponites and compatible causes is encouraged, but never mandatory. This helps spread the Weaponite word.
6. Bringing visitors to church, and exposing them to our culture, is an act of love for your neighbor.
7. Not all will convert to the Weaponite ways, and that's ok.

Thoughts:
1. Visibal spectrum cammo is cool. Multi-spectral cammo is even cooler.
2. Concealment tools like smoke grenades are a good compliment to the Weaponites armor and holey instruments.
3. Sun Tsu's Art of War is a reveared text to the Weaponites.
4. When fighting steppers at night, NODs are a necessity, and silence is sanctuary.
5. A healthy lifestyle is recommended for maximum operator excellence.
