Not comply as a starting point? Million man armed march on DC? Counter legislation to impeach anyone who supported it? Take it to the Supreme courts? All of the above?
I'm interested to see what the hive mind thinks would be the best solution presuming that the passage of said bill can not be avoided. |

First thing I'll do is make certain that I'm in compliance with the law.

I'm interested to see what the hive mind thinks would be the best solution presuming that the passage of said bill can not be avoided. Non compliance would be the first thing. I wouldn't advise the armed march on DC unless your prepared to start firing, because that's what it would lead to. |

First thing I'll do is make certain that I'm in compliance with the law. Martin Luther King, in his famous "Letter from the Birmingham Jail," called on all Americans to actively but peacefully oppose laws that were morally wrong. King wrote: "There are just laws and there are unjust laws. I would agree with St. Augustine that an unjust law is no law at all... One who breaks an unjust law must do it openly, lovingly...I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and willingly accepts the penalty by staying in jail to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the very highest respect for law." |

I thought all these what if's were to be in one thread - lock it please..............how about we do all we can so nothing passes.

Even if you do all the things like sending email/faxes to your Representative, use "Change.Org" to show the "anti-gun" crowd that we have the numbers to defeat their legislation.
Those of us who know that banning guns, magazines, or ammo is not the answer, should use the liberal establishment's own tools against any useless legislation! Go to Change.Org's website and vote AGAINST any new useless gun laws: http://www.change.org/petitions/pres...agazines#share No, it's not a "vote" in the legislative sense, but we need to show the general public how we feel. |

Immediate large-scale active, civil, peaceful disobedience, for starters.

I like to be in compliance with the law. If a new AWB requires registration, I'll most likely comply. Congress may actually do something that's morally right. I'm not going to spend much time worrying about what I might possibly do if someone else (e.g. Congress) does something stupid. |

Challenge it in the courts. 10 rounds is LOW capacity, not high capacity, any survey of standard pistols will show you that most hold more than 10 rounds. Heller has a "common usage" clause and these weapons are common and ordinary, they sell them at Walmart for god's sake. That's as common as it gets. We've got good arguments, we need to use them.

I will vote....and ill encourage other like minded folks to do the same...and some other stuff.

It's been said and done before...
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security Where they once were, we are now rapidly approaching |

Any ban would see immediate court challenges and injunctions until after they were decided. It would only be after the Supreme Court ruled that the law would take effect. Then we either surrender or fight. |

Keep shooting, keep reloading, keep enjoying my 2nd Amendment.
There isn't a soul within 150 miles that would confiscate the weapons in this town, city, or region. |

Massive retaliation at the polls in the midterms for anyone who voted for it. We need to orchestrate an epic political bloodbath that makes1994 look tame.
If not, the antis will smell bloid in the water and be back ror more. |

Getting it repealed. That pretty much never happens. With any law. The only reason the 1994 ban went away is that it had a 10 year auto-destruct built into it. Obamacare is another example. It's never getting repealed at this point. This is why it is CRITICAL to stop these things before they become law. |

NY, CA & IL will be the states to watch and then filter out to the other states.

Personally I am going to bitch about it, a lot.
I would be willing to go to DC and march. |

Personally, I would take a jaundiced and cautious view of posting things on the internet in response to recently-registered members who use screen names such as yours, and start threads of this type. But what do I know? |

Think of some freedoms that have ever been given back to us once taken. Regulations that have ever been removed.. It happens but it is the exception rather than the rule. Hell, there is still stuff on the books like penalties for walking your horse down the wrong side of the street on a Sunday and other silly out dated laws. |

Ignore it. Agreed, after all is is being proven every day now that obeying laws is optional. So if they do not obey the law, why should we? |

It would be a far different thing if thousands of productive and otherwise law abiding citizens were arrested than the usual crowd of "protesters" made up of leeches on society. I know my job couldn't be filled by any average John Doe off the street, as I'm sure is the case with most of you. Rounding up disobedient firearms enthusiasts would bring the economy to a grinding halt unlike rounding up a bunch of whiney pot smoking hippy DBs.

Where are all these mother fuckers coming from? Probably google. Everyone needs to be careful in what we post so as to not give them ammo to use against us. They will twist our words and use them out of context in an effort to demonize us. Edit: Note the counter at the upper right of the screen. We have gone from an average of 4-6,000 logged in to over 10,000 in the past two weeks. Steady growth is one thing, and has occurred throughout the site's history, but to nearly double our numbers in two weeks means we have lots of guests who are both friendly--and unfriendly. Threads of this type are not posted by curious new gun owners. |

Why would anyone assume we would engage in "collective action"?
Collectivism is a principle followed by the left. |
|
I'm not going to "do" anything. America has been voting for the individuals who wish to implement this political philosophy for a long time...have fun and enjoy your new paradise!
The above is not directed at my fellow members. |

I wish I could join you in your efforts, but all my guns were lost in a terrible boating accident this summer.

Protests aren't gonna work. The .gov can just send in cops in riot gear and keep arresting people until there are no more to arrest.
Best thing one could possibly hope for in the event of a ban is a sunset. That or hoping your state passes a Firearms Freedom Act like Montana tried to do. Then hoping for the legitimacy of that Act. I had doubts about MT's ability to make the FFA actually work...but...you never know. Counter bills...acts...laws...they will not do any good. If the .gov wants the allz the gunz...they will haz all the gunz.

My big hope is the states go back to how they were before Lincoln started the domino effect that lead to the civil war. It's my understanding that Oklahoma is already well on its way, I just hope other states follow one by one. We all see how well the Feds responded to the legalization of marijuana in Colorado, and this is a good example of what "could" happen if our state government's pulls their heads out of their asses and do what our constitution said we can do, which is govern ourselves at the state level, not federal.
