Where we came from...
The United States Redneck Special Forces was founded in 2003 by Ted Burris. It started out as just a handfull of good ole boys and girls getting together every so often to BBQ, tell stories, and have a good time. We were all in to huntin and guns, paintball and BBQ, Emergency preparedness and survival. We started getting together to buy supplies for our hobbies to see if we could get better deals on stuff if we bought as a group and as we grew we gave ourselves a name. The United States Redneck Special Forces. Now its 5 years later and there are significantly more than a handfull of us. We are adding a couple new members a week and we needed more than just group buys so in July 2008 we opened the United States Redneck Special Forces Outfitters as an extension of our group. The goal of the USRNSF Outfitters is to to provide quality products and services to our customers at reasonable prices.
What we believe...
We don't require anyone believe exactly the way we do just to be a member but all members are required to treat each other with respect at all times. Our basic core beliefs are as follows.
1. We believe, that all men (and women) are created equal, (regardless of race, color or religion) and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.— That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
2. We believe that fully informed, honestly educated, voting citizens coupled with enforced laws that hold our representatives accountable to thier constituents and to the fundemental values of the constitution are the first line of defense against tyranny and oppression.
3. We believe that each individual has a right to defend thier life and liberty and that to defend those gifts each individual has a right to the tools and equipment neccesary to provide for that defense. Therefore, we believe in the right to keep and bear arms as a right of every free man and woman.
4. We believe that the Founding Fathers spelled out in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of this nation the basics of law required to promote freedom and liberty within the borders of this country and that we as citizens of this nation and inhabitants of this country have a responsibility to defend both from all enemies foriegn and domestic.

Some quotes of interest that illuminate the beliefs of the USRNSF:
"Government is not reason; it is not eloquence. It is force. And force, like fire, is a dangerous servant and a fearful master." -George Washington
A wise and frugal government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, which shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicity. - Thomas Jefferson
Laws that forbid the carrying of arms... disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. Jefferson's "Commonplace Book," 1774_1776, quoting from On Crimes and Punishment, by criminologist Cesare Beccaria, 1764
"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -Thomas Jefferson,
A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against his government.
-Edward Abbey
God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it. -Daniel Webster
Government lasts as long as the under-taxed can defend themselves against the over-taxed. -Bernard Berenson
"There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag,... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." -Theodore Roosevelt
Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man gainst his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American...[T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people." -Tenche Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788.
"They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin
"A militia, when properly formed, are in fact the people themselves ... and include all men capable of bearing arms." -Richard Henry Lee - Senator, First Congress
"To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of people always possess arms..." -Richard Henry Lee - Senator, First Congress
"Whenever governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins." -Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts
