I have great hope for America, but...

I think the best we can hope for is that when America no longer is the America WE know and love, that somewhere on Earth, a "new" revolution for independence and freedom and liberty will prevail. Like some great man said: (paraphrased badly) "Each generation must shed some blood for liberty." (told you it was badly paraphrased) Well, don't you think that sooner or later, one or more of our generations will NOT 'shed blood' for liberty? And our freedoms and liberties will all peacefully disappear, for the 'greater good' or 'for the children'. But I don't see the end of America yet... |

garandman,
I can think of many people who share your religion who wish to take every gun owner right you and the rest of us have. I am thankful that YOU aren't one of those people. [:)] I may not be religious, but I have great faith in many other things, especially the triumph of good men who stand up for their freedoms. Semper Fidelis (always faithful) |

If anything, I'm beginning to see some hope of America 'healing' from the immoralities brought about since the 60's. I was just trying to wake people up to the fact that it will happen, someday. |

5000 AR15.com'ers.
9,000,000 Daily viewing audience, Rosie-O Dude, were losing. Bad. Hate to say it, but I am a member of the "next in line" generation, and here is my report from the front lines. When we rise to power, your guns are gone. The end. |

Well, maybe - but I take some hope from the fact that the 9,000,000 Rosie-O fans' asses are too large to rise up and do anything but grab another bag of Oreos...and in the unlikely event they do manage to waddle into a voting booth, they're too dang ig'nunt to figure out how to use a ballot.
I think we're safe for a while, but always remember that 'eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.' |

"When we rise to power, your guns are gone."
Interesting take on the progression of events. You assume we will just "hand them over" peacefully. Incorrect. When "you rise to power", bring friends when you come for the guns. Not all of you that take on that task will come home. We will see who has the stronger beliefs in that contest. "The end." (Indeed, just not the way you would like to believe.) |

Quoted: [[B]Interesting take on the progression of events. You assume we will just "hand them over" peacefully. Incorrect.[/B] Yep. You will. "YOU", platform389 may not, but the majority of peacable Americans and thier color TV, air conditioning, and McDonalds, will. [B]When "you rise to power", bring friends when you come for the guns. Not all of you that take on that task will come home. We will see who has the stronger beliefs in that contest.[/B] You don't get it. I'm with you on this. I am just telling you that the hordes of my peers that make up "my generation" aren't, and you will one day have to back up all that "cold, dead hands" talk. "The end." (Indeed, just not the way you would like to believe.) Well see. I guess i'm just a realist. I mean, where is the line in the sand? Cold, dead hands is a mighty big step to take for a bunch of guys shoting Semi-Auto weapons, designed to be fully automatic, but are semi because of a US law that they submit to. Or a bunch of guys who argue the merits of "Pre-Ban vs Post Ban" because the law tells them to. Sorry, If the guys here submit to an innane law like 922r, you can bet they will when they have to face a REAL conciquence for thier gun ownership. |

There is hope for freedom, although i think that the USA wiil end up Balkanizing first. You from the large cities, (99% of population) don't realize the attitude of the rural folks. We may be only 1% of the population, but the American Revolution was WON by 3% of the population. McUzi you're right, the majority of the population will watch on their TV, They won't help us, but they won't help the other side either. God bless the Republic!
Death to the New World Order! We shall prevail! (Our Heavenly Father says so!!) |

"Bad boy, bad boy, whatchyagonna do when they come for you?" Garandman, basically agree with you, but you can save the Jesus shouting for someone who wants to hear it. Only thing that Karl Marx ever said that I agree with is "Religion is the opiate of the masses". But, hey, if it makes you feel good, go for it. As long as you're a gun man, you're ok in my book. |

Someday, America will fall. It will join the Great Commonweath of United Nations. The U.S. dollar will be gone and we will use a new currency the "e Global". Cash will be outlawed and all transactions will be electronic and monitored by government computers. The U.S. Constitution will be discarded as having outlived its usefulness and irrelevant for a modern society. All non-government guns will be confiscated "for our own good". The sheeple will think they are in the dawn of a new era of peace and prosperity.
With taxes at 90%, some unforseen events will cause global economic collapse. Blue helmet wearing "peacekeepers" will replace local police. They will be needed to stop the food riots. The Blue Troops will have electronic armor impervious to traditional weapons. They will carry beam phaser pulse rifles capable of non-lethal and lethal operation. An evil dictator will use bribery and blackmail to take charge of "The World Assembly". He will literally rule the world. I do have hope. My hope is that I will pass on before this all takes place. ---------------------- Surrender your guns now, and avoid the shame of having them confiscated. |

I'd just like to say Nevada Gun laws are real easy going, you should all move here. I got some great land out in Fallon with a nice drilled well. [;)]
(now to explain the Fallon joke. Alot of Fallon wells are contaminated with radioactive uranium. They think it's why all those poor children have loukeymea <- Spelled Fonetiklee. ) But I guess any sorta inside joke on stupid wells in Fallon really isn't going to interest you, so I'm going to delete it. Oh darn, I already hit send. Sorry, just deal with it. NSF |

Rogue, I believe the following is the quote you butchered. Much more effective in it's no-hacked state.
"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms... What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." - Thomas Jefferson |

We submit to reasonable laws. Personally, I will obey the law to the extent that it makes sense. Not being able to own full auto's is areasonable compromise to them taking my guns altogether. Besides, they are of little practicle use because most of the ammo never hits it's target. I'd take a semi into combat before an auto.
NOW, when (yes I said when) they ask us to register our guns, I won't. NEVER. That is the first step to collecting them for meltdown. If it ever comes to that we are in deep sh*t. It could happen because the original constitution was ammended for drugs. On the religion thing, it is suprising to see how many of you out there are not religious. I wonder how many of you are 5 percenters like I am (those that don't believe). Is there a correlation between gun owners and those who don't believe? |

Ahh, and David F150 has uttered something which needs to be addressed. He says that he and others like submit to "reasonable" laws about guns and gun ownership.
Herein lies the problem that us bleed for freedom types are raving about. There is NO SUCH THING AS A REASONABLE LAW CONCERNING GUNS. Eaach and every infringement is unconstitutional, but even more--it is designed to facilitate your enslavement or death. WHat's reasonable about that? This not being allowed full autos being acceptable versus no gund altogether is bullshit. That is essentially saying, my master wants me dead, but if I accept certain terms, at least he won't kill me today. Words simply do not possess the ability to express how this outrages, and disgusts us freedom or death types. The problem is that DavidF150 and others like him don't see the fatal error in their logic. If a politician isn't perfectly comfortable with the idea of his average constituent, any man, woman, or responsible child, walking into a hardware store and paying cash -- for any rifle, shotgun, handgun, machinegun, anything --without producing ID or signing one scrap of paper, he isn't your friend no matter what he tells you." --L. Neil Smith Experience should teach us to be most on our guard to protect liberty when the government's purposes are beneficial. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding." Louis D. Brandeis |

DJBump, your right, and your wrong. I don't pretend to like the law but I will obide. Let's examine why it was passed. It was passed because the police felt outgunned by the mobsters. Now I don't love being outgunned by the police, but I recognize why we have police and I feel we need them to be very well armed. I don't consider a full auto well armed, but they do. You are right that it is a stepping stone to total gun control. I'm going to be one of the loudest against further control since I own 13 myself including two assualt rifles (Al Gore eat your heart out).
Now I don't know if you (or others) are one of the dummies that continue to vote party lines or incumbants just because they are there. That's what is going to get us an anti-gun society. If you want to make a difference then we Americans need to stop doing that and really take the time to research a candidates background, not what he says in an election. What the heck happened to independant thinkers? You get what you put up with. Clinton is a perfect example of a POS. He was a POS before, during and after his first term and people still voted for him. |

And T_H_O_S_E are the people I am talking about. The MAJORITY. They will hand over thier guns because they aren't as important to them as they are to you or me. |

I fear the day when we have to fight...mainly because I have not a damn clue how many would be on my side. Really think about it...would you put all life's commodities at risk, your freedom from prison, your home, maybe even family, to fight "the second revolution"? I tell you what, that day may be closer than you think. If all the U.N. stuff going on that the NRA is talking about is true (and I'm sure it is), we might have a problem. I can tell you guys one thing, the U.N. better [i]not even[/i] fuck with my rights... |
