What do you really think the outcome would be for you if:
1) President Bush is defeated on his current SCOTUS appointment by a moderate Republican/Democratic coallition. A more "centrist" appointment acceptable to Democrats is approved. 2) Hillary wins in 2006 in New York, and in 2008 for POTUS 3) Chuckie Schumer is made AJOTUS 4) Both Senate and House majorities shifts to the Democrats 5) AWB comes back on Steroids, banning semi-autos, with NO grandfather clause or sale allowed. No hollow point, penetrator, frangible, defender or segmented ammo is allowed. 6) Posession of more than 9 legal or illegal firearms is considered a felony. 7) No rights of transfer or inheritance for firearms are recognized. Your options are to render permanently inoperative or turn in for destruction. NOTE: Items 5, 6 and 7 have already been in bills introduced in New York State. Sure, a few readers will give the obligatory "from my cold dead fingers" response, but what would you really do? If the New York idiots get cloned to Washington, this is a very real possibility in '08. |

Turn over my stuff and go to Starbucks and get a crapichino. And live out the rest of my quite safe soccer dad life.

I'd wait for the inevitable Republican tidel waves of 2010 and 2012. Seriously, gun control is a loser for the democracts. If they were stupid enough to try it against they'd get thrown out on their asses.
|
|
What can we do but vote, and make noise to everyone we know, and support gun-rights groups, and write our reps in Washington? If there is something else we can do let me know. |
|
|
What happens happens. I'm not going to get all worked up over it. If the SHTF I'll figure out the right thing to do.
And then do it. |

"He complained when they took away his guns five years ago, but he still had his color TV and his backyard barbeque, so he didn't fight." though Turner Diaries is 80% crap (about 40% racism and 40% communist), the remaining 20% has some briliant and pertinant analysis on the state and nature of man. |

From the responses Ive seen on here from other topics, most of the members (with maybe 5 or 6 excepted) would bend over and take it in the ass from ole Billary. It is sad that nobody really believes in protecting and defending the Constitution, I dont mind doing so a bit, my salvation is taken care of so I have nothing to lose.
|
|
You know I don't mind protecting and defending the Constitution as long as I'm back home before American Idol is on! And could we stop by the store and pick up some beer on the way back too? |
|
|
Ill show you when the time comes, for now all you acn do is PT and shoot, a lot. We can freshen up on squad and fire team movement tactics when the time comes. |

The only logical solution is to use those force multipliers available.
1. The truth 2. Force of law Knowing that the only rightful use of force is in the defence of Life Liberty and Property and the law was created for that purpose any thing to the contrary must be eliminated. The truth is very powerful against lies.
It is time to play offense, take up the common law, assemble the public body of justice and execute the warrant. |

If I thought there was a chance for us to get the laws repealed, I'd have an accident on my stepfather's boat, then wait out the storm and help the cause whenever I could.
If I thought it was going to last more than three years, I'd look for another country with more lax gun laws and without totally psychotic government. Then learn a new language and move. But that's assuming such a nation exists. |
|
I'm done making noise about what I will or will not do should such events occur. I'll let my actions speak when the time comes. I can't tell you exactly what that particular time will be... I'll know it when it comes. |
|
|
ATF goes from door to door saying to each other, "seems to be a lot of boat accidents recently!"
|
|
Well said! That's what I was waiting to hear! I was raised on Davey Crockett and Johnny Tremain. I've read the Bill of Rights and the Federalist Papers. I believe in the American spirit of Liberty, and our ability to maintain the spark of Democracy . What the Dems are selling is not Democracy, not when their actions speak tyrrany! |

Either Pipes sealant cosmoline shovel shutup
or make a few calls and lock and load Probably the latter |

Switzerland has agreed to side with the EU and give up their guns. (True!) |

|
You buying the first round? Im probably gonna need propane for the steaks, I'll fork out for that one. |

Time for strategy. It is a mistake to approach the tyrrany issue on a national/federal scale, each local area needs to assmble a 12 man jury of qualified electors, this body of public justice is the supreme law of the land, it acts only on what is real with Malum In Se and not Malum Prohibitum. If each sovereign American in their own local area, assemble under the cause of the common law and hold all official to the law, then justice and freedom could be restored to those areas. So the strategic goal would be a free society under the common law which is in agreement with the constitution. By each local area operating control over their own domains there is no federal cause with which the tyrants can interfere without incurring the wrath of the people, the JBT's are slow to act against their neighbors for the very reason that they are neighbors. The fedcoats can always concentrate force upon an isolated community one at a time but if many communities act at the same time there just is not enough JBT's to go around when hundreds of militia live on scene without logistical obstacles to overcome as the fedcoats must do.

Suddenly, everyone here would beleive me that hell (as described in the Bible) is a real place. |
|
|
+1 for the boating accident, then the lawsuit for the pain and suffering that I was caused by the loss of my dad's guns, which I would inheret (I'm the only one in the family that is into guns, cept my dad). I'm sorry, but if Hillary Klinton ever got on the ballot, I'm not sure what I'd do (nothing illegal).
|
|
Fighting an oppresive regime bent on destroying your freedoms isnt illegal, allowing it to commence without taking action is. |
|
|
are we there yet ? |

|
+1........and a few buddies of mine! |

"This is much more time consuming than it was when we raided that church in Texas." |

What else? Surrender to our new socialist overlords and begin my new life of service to the greater good.

99% of posters here wouldn't ever lift a finger. I wouldn't either until things settled down. Then it would be either wait until next election (as someone already said) or until all other options have been played out politicaly. You cannot pick up arms against the government just because thing don't go your way for a few years. The posted situation would be a slippery slope, that if unchanged, would push me to participate in whatever movement suited the times. That being said, I would not be the first to take action. I have too much to lose, a family with small children does seem to calm you down quite a bit. The more mature I get the less shit I talk. |
|
Move. There's gotta be some nation on Earth that isn't a shithole, and if worse comes to worst, we can always pool our resources and start ARFCOMtopia.
|
|
I blame this past generation. Your fuck ups make us (ages 15 to 35) have to fight this, the rest will box themselves in.
I would just have to put everything in piping and cosmoline and hope this boils over. |

I went through that also. In my post Marine Corps days, while Carter was still busy running the country into the ground, I was a pretty militant conservative. If Carter had stayed in the country would have went belly up witin 4 years and I told my wife then if the SHTF, I was gone. Then I started a family, Reagan was POTUS, and things seemed to be looking up some. Now, we have gone through the 90's with the Klintons infringing on freedoms conservatives hold dear, my kids are now grown and I am seeing a Republican government that has turned to socialism to purchase the votes of losers, opened the country to our enemies and the economy seems to have nowhere to go but down. Another full blown socialist administration may be more than the country can take though either way the handwriting is on the wall I am afraid. In any event, I have become more militant again and it would appear that some may have to make the hard decision to put their lives on the line if we continue on our current path. Even Hildebeast as President wouldn't mean an automatic revolution but if she and her ilk push the policies they desire down our throats, incl gun confiscation, there is a really good chance I will fight. The way I figure it I have raised my kids and better people like me stand and fight than some of you young guys with families. I am still able to fight and have some advantages I didn't as a young man but I wish I were in the kind of physical condition I was then. |

|
+1 The people I would depend on in the scenario dscribed above are the ones who DON'T play poser on the internet. |
|
|
No one truly knows how he/she will react if the SHTF. |
||
|
Yeah, all too many see us as attacking the "Fedcoats"( I like that BTW!) en masse across the open prairie or some such rubbish. I already know what I would plan and that ain't even close. You will not get many local politicians to fall in line though. They are all where they are not because of skill, intellect or love of freedom but because most are sniveling, groveling, asskissing, manipulative liars who know the only sure way to get elected is to promise the electorate money from the public coffers. |

I'd forsee a boating accident in my future. Tragic, those boating accidents.
Kharn |
|
+1 especially since all my guns were lost in a tragic boating accident on the St. Johns River. |
|
|
Switzerland my friend, and if it is too cold for you then there is the holy land, very pro-gun although a bit socialist. Israel is like living in the military, nothing new to me. |
|
|
Not me. All my guns were lost due to a tragic incident involving a midget, a shop-vac, a putty knife, and some Crisco. |
||
|
Me neither, my anti-gun politicians fell overboard though. |
|||
|
Dude you are way underestimating the people here. They would lift all of them.........as they rant on and on over the internet |
|
|
Most people would do as Californians do now, nothing. As they already sorta live under the government described.
And California had the biggest gunshow (Great Western) and the largest "black rifle" market in the US. How did it all just disappear? |
|
Anyone else out there got a hunch that claiming you were in a boating accident will guarantee you are the first to have you door kicked down and your dog shot?
Just a thought. |
|
Places like Kali and NJ also have the largest collections of socialists and pussies. Even at that, I suspect that if they started confiscation there are some men in Kali willing to fight. |
